After a lot of convincing I got him to smile with the hat on.
Five seconds went by and... 
then that was it, he was ready for it to be off! 
These are the moments that make me love being a mom! I was going to give Tate a bath, and the next thing I knew he climbed in. I guess he was ready to go!
I never remember to do these things. I thought I would give this a shot...
Halloween is my favorite holiday so I thought I would start decorating early this year. :)
I was missing my fellow crafters in Utah (Anna and Karla) while I was working on these projects. So girls this is what I have been working on. :)
Sorry to everyone who has been coming to our blog expecting to see an update of our family. We have kept up on taking pictures of our family especially our precious Tate. So without further ado here is a sample of what we have been doing since our last blog.
Here is Tate showing how wacky and fun he can be. He can be such a handful, but we love him with all our hearts.
Anthony's parents came and visit us here in the hot Arizona sun. It was only around 100 degress, pretty mild by Arizona standards...
Here is our little man tired after church taking a nap...he is also wearing his new suit that we got him.
This is one of our favorite moments of how Tate can quickly get into mischief. He found a box of chocolates and decided to eat them in our bed. He loves his chocolates
Here is Tate in his new ride. After Anthony put it together he just had to ride it around the house. We then took a trip to Show Low were Tate was able to ride with cousin Austin, notice how is multi-tasking by mowing the lawn while riding.
Here is some pictures of our Fourth of July celebration. Tate loved everything. We went to a town called Heber for a little carnival/fireworks show. It was one of the greatest firework shows we have seen in awhile. Here is Tate with his Grandma Nanny, Tate got a lighted sword which he quickly learned how to fight with, and of course here is us in our matching color-coordinated shirts.
Tate has discovered his favorite food...spaghetti. He loves to just slurp it into his mouth, which of course creates the biggest mess. He is always so happy when it is for dinner, but every time without fail he falls asleep eating it. It is the cutest thing to see.
Here is Tate celebrating daddy's birthday at a sushi restaurant called Ra.
Here are two pictures of Tate's first experience with an Oreo. He always finds a way to get it all over his face.
Here at last at the end, we are all caught up. Below are pictures we took today. Tate went to Nursery for the first time at church and of course found trouble. Tate tried to play with this one kid and got bit behind his ear. He cried and cried, but he then went to go to that same kid to give him a hug and a kiss and was welcome by another bite on his cheek. We love you all and thanks for being so patient in hearing news about our family.
