A Witches Hunt......

Dylan has been off track and we have been having a lot of fun playing.  We started reading Harry Potter with him and he is obsessed with it.  He asks constantly if we can read it.  He is a great little reader and we are glad he enjoys it so much.  It has been more fun to read it with him then it was when I read it the first time.  One day we invited the McNees boys to go with us to Gardner Village. They have a Witches Hunt game and the boys had a blast trying to find all the decorated witches based on a few clues.  They were able to find the Witches pretty fast and so we enjoyed a little treat at the Naborhood bakery.  Can you guess what treat Tate chose? Of course, it was a chocolate donut.
 
 


 Dylan and Jake voted this witch to be their favorite.Dylan liked the owl because it reminded him of Hedwig from Harry Potter.
Gardner Village is awesome at this time of year.  Tate's favorite witch was in the outhouse.

A trip to St. George for Tate's Birthday..........

Rewind to October 9th.......It was a special little boy's 5th birthday.  We celebrated the day in St. George with the McNees and Weston family and it was a fun few days.  The kids were off track and we played in St.George in the McNees time share.  Thanks McNees family for letting us enjoy your time share and for creating fun memories!  We were able to go to Aladdin and the boys loved it. Part of the production was in 3D and the boys were so excited to wear the 3D glasses.  I was horrible at snapping photos because we were playing way too much:) On Tate's birthday his dream came true.... He was able to swim all day in the pool with friends.  We sat at the pool the entire day and the kids played non-stop.  They also enjoyed the arcade and just being together. The weather was beautiful and it was fun to relax and not drive anywhere.  Here was Tate's 5th birthday interview:

What is your favorite food: Nutella Sandwiches

What is your favorite thing to do: Swim and play Lego's and I like preschool too.

We just love this little guy.  He is growing so fast and he has a great sense of humor.  I love that he still snuggles with me at night and he will say spontaneously to every member of our family, "I love you."  He loves swimming and is a great little swimmer.  He does not want to quit his swimming classes...ever.  And so we just keep him enrolled.  He also enjoys Preschool and movies.  We LOVE you TATTEY BEAR!


 He is full of personality!

It's a Jack Skellington PARTY......

    Tate had a fun Jack Skellington birthday bash for his 5th birthday.  He had a great time and it was fun to share his special day with friends and a few family members.
 The kids enjoyed the bounce house and it was a fun way to burn off all that boy energy.
 

Tate is blessed to have so many great friends.
