Bowling

Tate's friend Ayden invited us to go bowling this past Saturday. We had a great time...but Tate was sad he didnt get a strike. However, I had two! :)

Hooray Me!

I won a beautiful pair of earrings! Check them out: From Storms to Sunshine

Thanks Christine!!!

Oldies but goodies

These are from last year around Christmas. Someday Tate will be mad at me for showing people pictures like these. But he is so cute!

Halloween 2009

One light burned out before we even began.

Daddy wanted to be a robot too!

Sleepy robot Tate.

And the winner is......

TATE!!

We entered Tate into the costume contest at Fred Meyer on Saturday. He won! He won a $ 25 gift card. We let him pick out any toy (under $25) that he wanted. He picked a Cars set with firetruck Mater, rescue helicopter and dalmation Mia & Tia. He was so proud of himself. :)

Tate of Halloween's Past

Tate's first Halloween ~ 2005 (Lion)

Tate's second Halloween ~ 2006 (Scarecrow)
Tate's fourth Halloween ~ 2008 (Knight)

I am missing Tate's third Halloween. I am searching the pics I have on my work computer, but it may be on the home computer. Once I find it I will add it in.

Meals we have left for October

The month is almost over. Here are the meals we still haven't made. I am not planning on making a full November menu. I want to see how long we can go with what we have around the house, without doing a major shop.

Ham & cheese omelets
Navajo tacos
Grandma Mack breakfast casserole
Appetizer sandwiches
Crock pot beef enchiladas
Crock pot potato bacon soup

Basketball

Yes. Tate is playing basketball with a soccer ball. Shortly after I took these pictures, Chris and Tate walked down to the local sports store and bought a basketball.....and then didnt play with it. Boys. Hmmm, or maybe they did but I was making dinner.

Pumpkin Patch

Every year daycare takes the kids to the Hunter's Pumpkin Patch. Chris and I always go with. Not sure what we will do next year when Tate is in school and no longer at daycare. Maybe they will still let us tag along.

Tate in the hay maze.

The slide is the kids favorite part of the day.

Tate Tuesday

Just another excuse to post pictures of my bug. :)

Disc Golfing with Daddy

It stopped raining yesterday just long enough to get a round of disc golf in. The course was muddy, but I just put Tate in his boots.
