Tate has been kiddie tagged....

My cousin tagged Tate on her blog ... I have to write five things about Tate (I can only pick five??)
1. Tate has such a fun personality. He can find laughter anywhere... Even when he is upset all I have to say is, "You sound like a baby dinosaur" and he starts laughing and forgets why he is crying.. I love his sense of humor...

2. Tate is a friendly and caring child.. He is so concerned with other's feelings and my own. If I even look sad he is there trying to cheer me up. He always says, "I love you, more"... He is willing to share his toys with his friends. During lunchtime at school there are three little girls that "just have" to sit with him...

3. Tate loooves his video games. It's something he and his Daddy have always shared. They play the games together all the time... Tate is constantly begging Daddy to play. He's pretty good at them too..

4. Tate is a lover of ALL animals (even monsters)... He has a book of all the monsters and loves reading it. We read about a monster almost every night.. Halloween is his favorite holiday. He often hangs out with Beary Boo (our dog), they like to climb in the bathtub and "talk" to each other. Tate will tell Bear all about his day and ask him about his... When our bird and cat died this summer he was concerned where they went. He decided that they went to heaven to play with JaCee..

5. Tate adores his Grandpa Wendell.. He loves going to visit him.. When grandpa comes to see Tate they go to a local cheese plant and buy a case of chocolate milk.. Grandpa Wendell took Tate fishing at a pond by where we live... Tate loved every minute of it, he talked about it for weeks...




This was a fun activity filled with goodness...

Nick (Amanda)
Danny (Tina)

Discovering Alphabet Soup!!

As a child growing up I had Alphabet soup all the time. As an adult it isn't something that I grab often. Roy had picked up a few cans to have on hand and for quick lunch Alphabet soup was a good choice. Tate was so excited to see letters in his soup he didn't hesitate to spell his name. It wasn't long before we had every relative and friend's name on the edge of the bowl. By the time we were finished there were no noodles left to eat. I had no idea a bowl of soup could be so much fun. I guess we will be having Alphabet soup more often in our house.
