Pumpkin Patch

We joined some friends from Alpha and Omega for a beautiful day at The Great Pumpkin Patch last Saturday in Hayden. We had a great time....there was so much for the kids to do. We also enjoyed taking some fun, fall photos of Tate. Here she is (above) dancing to the fun music they had for all of the kids in the pavilion area.

Her first pony ride....she liked it and didn't want to get off!


Tate enjoyed seeing cows, goats, and chickens at the petting zoo

Picking pumpkins....or rolling them on the ground as Tate enjoyed doing

War Eagle anyway...

This past weekend, we decided to take Tate for her first (of many) trips to The Plains. We went down to see some of Diana's sorority sisters... and all the kids! She had a great time, especially riding around campus in her personal chariot (a.k.a. Radio Flyer). We hope she grows up loving Auburn as much as we do, and Diana & I look forward to making many more memories with our family (however big it gets) down there. And yes, in case you begin to wonder, the outfits you see the girls in were hand-made!

Tate's 1st Haircut

We decided to have Tate's hair trimmed just a little in the back. It was becoming a little unmanageable. We took her to "Sweet and Sassy" the cutest hairplace that specializes in children's haircuts. Tate did really well, she was entertained by the spray bottle and reading a few books. Here are a few pictures from her big day!

Fun with Gi Gi & Poppa at the Park

Gi Gi and Tate and Aunt Holly and Reid





Let's go for a ride Reid!




Tate had such a fun day, as usual, with her GiGi & Poppa while mommy was working. Playing at the park this past Wednesday was even more fun because Aunt Holly and Reid came over for a visit as well. Thank you GiGi and Poppa for all you do for us and for Tate and Reid. I know that they love their time with you both and we appreciate all you do for us!
