Tate's Preschool Halloween Party

Tate just had his preschool Halloween party which was really cute. He got to make a ghost and decorate Halloween cookies. He wore his T-Rex costume for the parade they did for the parents. Liam and I attended and loved watching him sing the witch song with his class. He loves getting to go to school and is really passionate about Halloween!


Miles' Reading Award

Miles received a reading award at his school a couple of weeks ago. His teacher has been pleased with his love of learning and his excitement over getting to check out new books. He has been reading books like crazy and we are so proud of his accomplishments.






Grandma Lana got to spend an extra long visit with us, which was so much fun because she got to be on hand to see Miles get his reading award. And, she got to be around for lots of snuggle time with the boys.:)

Liam is 1!

When Scott and I decided to have our babies in the fall, I don't think we thought it all the way through. It has been party central around our house with all of the autumn birthdays (all five of us in October and November). We are officially crazy, but it has been a ton of fun!

My darling little Liam just celebrated his first birthday, and I can't remember a year that went faster. It all started with this absolute bundle of joy and somehow I blinked, and he is now one.



Liam's party was a big family gathering, including both sets of grandparents, Aunt Heidi and Uncle Cory, Aunt Sydney and some cousins. Let's just say that Liam knows how to party. He absolutely loved being the center of attention and was just delightful for his big day.













Liam has been such a happy and healthy baby. He is super adorable with his blonde hair and blue eyes. He is very social and engaging and always has a quick smile for everyone. He loves to play and is incredibly busy exploring his world. He has been such a wonderful addition to our family and is just so much fun. Happy Birthday my sweet Liam!

Tate Is 4!

My sweet Tate is now four years old. He wanted to have his friend party at the dinosaur museum, which he absolutely loved. The boys were all so cute and I think everyone had a fun time.














The day after his dinosaur party, we celebrated his actual birthday. The day started with breakfast in bed, a birthday tradition that the boys love. We had a family party that night with lots of cousins, aunts and uncles, and Grandma Kaye and Grandpa Jon. Tate loved that so many came to his party and he really enjoyed pointing out to everyone where the gifts went. He was all about the presents and was just so very happy.










Tate has such a big heart and is the most compassionate little boy I have ever known. It has been a real joy to see him grow into such a handsome little dude who is unbelievably funny and loving. Thank goodness, even at four years old, he still loves to snuggle with his Mom. Happy Birthday Tate!

Scott's Forty Something

Another birthday come and gone for Scott. He had a nice day which started with breakfast in bed. The boys loved sharing in the goodness. That night, Heidi and Cory watched the boys so Scott and I could sneak out for dinner and a movie. Happy Birthday babe!




Fire Station Field Trip

Tate had his first preschool field trip to a local fire station. He was pretty mesmorized by all of it. He especially loved getting to use the hose. Such a boy.:)
