Popsicle

Tate tried a popsicle again and he liked it!  Today we went to visit a mom in our playgroup who had her 2nd baby.  Another mom from our group was there too so Tate got to play with his 2 favorite little girls. 

Tate is in love with Dora the Explorer!!  I let him watch it in the evening when he is getting tired but it isn't time for bed.  Tonight there were marching ants and he went nuts and was moving his body up and down with them. 

We noticed tonight that Tate's 4th molar has started to come through the gums.

Fort

I built Tate his first fort today and he loved it!  We had a busy day today.  We took cucumbers to my great-aunt then my friend met us at the park with some new kittens to take home. 

Summer is coming to an end and I am SAD!  My mom goes back to work tomorrow and my nephews started school today.  Only 3 more years until Tate can start school.  :( 

Corn Meal

I got out the tub of corn meal for Tate.  He loved it until he got it in his eye.  Then he got to play with the hose, which I think he loved even more!

I ran down to see my mom this afternoon and she had just got home from getting groceries and had a box of apple fritters on the table.  Apple fritters are no stranger in our house so Tate recognized the box right away and wanted a "COOK."  He ate almost a whole one all by himself.  Later, when he was playing in the living room he snuck into the kitchen and brought the whole box of apple fritters back out to us so he could have more.

Silly kid!!

Roomies

On Friday we went to Manhattan to visit some of my college roommates.  Things are a little different now as 2 of us have babies, one is pregnant, and one has a great job all the way down in Houston! 

I met all of my roommates in the dorms.  Our sophomore year of college I lived with 5 other girls and 1 guy in a dumpy, giant house that was infested with cockroaches.  The guy moved out and another girl joined us for our junior year.  That year the squirrels decided to move into the attic.  The house was in such disarray that it either needed to be torn down or have some major work done to it.  Sadly, our beloved house got demolished and an apartment building was built in its place.  We split up and I only lived with 3 of the girls my senior year.  We had some very fun times together!!  I also met Brett through one of my roommates. 

Busy Week

Whoa!  Our week has been busy and very full of driving.  We went back to visit Brett's parents and take Tate to the county fair.  Unlike our county fair, this one is run completely by members of the community instead of bringing in vendors.  I think it is pretty neat.  Tate enjoyed several rides and got a taste of a snow cone.  Since Tate can no longer sleep in the pack and play and no one gets sleep if they bunk with him, Tate got to sleep all alone in a real bed.  He slept all through the night without waking once!  I was a nervous wreck the entire night!  The next day he got to play outside at grandma and grandpa's and he thought Brett's old tractors were pretty awesome.  He also got to feed grandpa's cows and play with the hose.  We made a footprint stepping stone for grandma.  We even got to eat at Freddy's on the way home!!

Wedding Weekend

Brett's cousin got married on Saturday so we went on a road trip!  I guess I was not feeling much picture taking but I catch some of our fun on the zip line.

Throwback Thursday

My cousin got her wisdom teeth removed today so we took her some jello.  Tate loves her cat!  He has been around for a while.  My uncle used to have the cat wave to me every morning when I would pick my cousin up for school when we were in high school. 

Here are some oldies that I found on my computer!
