Go Mound Fort!

This game was against Venture Academy. The girls basketball team kicks butt! I think the boys football got crushed almost every game, but these girls ROCK! They won :)

This game was against Highland. They won it too!




Grammy & Poppy came to watch Livers cheer. They're so nice!


 
Liv & Brianna, one of her best friends

This game was against Venture again. They won it too :)
I have two videos to upload & add later. I got a new phone so I had to reset everything & upload to youtube yadda-yadda-yadda, but I'm gonna try to record a different cheer each time. I also recorded her doing her "tuck." She wanted me to post that on here. It IS quite impressive :)
So stay tuned!
 

Christmas Tree Hayride

My mom & dad planned the funnest outing! We went up to Liberty & got to go on a carriage to go pick out the grandkids Christmas tree for my parents house. It was SO fun! The kids all loved it! I love watching Tate have fun. He's really a little boy now, not a baby, & it's so fun to watch him get excited & enjoy stuff. I love it!
Thanks Mom & Dad! It was SO much fun!
 
 
 

Watching the reindeer!







We were SO close to these! It was awesome!


Look at that sweet face. I love to watch this kid have joy too. Makes me smile :)



 
Back at the shack having hot chocolate & treats Grammy packed



November


I took dinner to my sweet little Natalie I work with. Got to visit & snuggle her little Victoria. She is so sweet & tiny! Crazy to think I'm gonna have another little one already. I feel like I just had Tate!

First snowfall of the year.
November 3rd

We took the kids out for ice cream to celebrate Olivia's
4.0!!!!
Awesome huh?! Way to go girlie!
Tate loved the ice cream & kept dipping his face in it. So funny :)


Me & Tater took Ashley & her kids a pizza & breadsticks & boxes because they were moving. The kids loved him-it was so cute! I think he was a little intimidated, but he had fun eatin pizza with them :)

My first time in a long time making pies, first time I made pumpkin. They turned out nice! Thanks to lots of phone calls to my mom ;)

kids craft table. Thanksgiving was with Becky's fam this year & was at my parents house. It was great! My mom did a stellar job as usual complete with crafts for the kids, lil treat cups, & the table looked beautiful. We all brought something & everyone did an amazing job! I felt really good that day too so I REALLY got to enjoy the food!


Tater is really starting to enjoy the attention from Houston & Mae.
They are so sweet, they have a lot of love to give! ;)




 
Tater helpin the big boys outside. We have had some crazy winds again this year. It blew down half of the back fence. Bob came to help Bobby fix it. Tate & I went out to supervise ;) & walk up & down the back alley. HoneyBun loved wandering back there too. Thanks SO SO much Bob!




Thanksgiving night me & the kids put the trees & lights up :)

Tater 16 months

My beautiful little man. 16 months. You get smarter everyday. And more handsome! I love you so much. You make every day better for me.
 A lot of these pictures are repeats from the last post (October fun), but I figure I'd be more apt to look at this post later on so I included them anyways :)
 
 
1. Tater is in 2T clothes, wears a size 5 shoe pretty snug-ly, & we tried size 5 diapers due to leakage issues, but it didn't seem to help, so we are in size 4's still.
 
2. He is saying so many words! He won't always repeat them, but he has said SHOES, SISSY, LIGHT, CHEESE, SOCK, PLEASE, MAMA, HOUSTON (HOUSTY), TIGGER, BOBBY, BABY, DOG, BALL, & OF COURSE DAD, & DADDA. He still doesn't like to say mama. I've been waiting so patiently!
 
3. He can do "knuckles" now.
 
4. We had a playdate with Bennett across the street. We've gone for walks & played in the sandbox, it's just hard to align playdates with naptimes. Tate was SO cute though. He was fascinated with another little person just like him. He was so excited & all smiles. He shared so good. Bennett kind of ran the show because he's a little older, but Tate loved it. It made me happy to see him so happy.
 
5. He is getting used to Houston & Mae always loving on him. He really seems to like it now. He smiles & plays good with them too. It's very sweet.
 
6. He has been wearing his big boy shoes & loves to walk everywhere by himself. He & I had a picnic in the yard one day because it was such beautiful weather. He had so much fun just being outside running around on the grass. He seemed so proud of himself. So cute :)
 
7. My neighbor gave him an old puzzle she was going to get rid of. It's a wooden Melissa & Doug one, he can't put it together, but he likes to think he can. He's quite obsessed with it.
 
8. He loves pushing things from one end of the room to the next, i.e.- his 4 wheeler, his activity table, his chair, laundry baskets, pretty much anything.
 
9. He likes wearing his little moccasin slippers around the house like Dad. When they fall off he brings them to you & wants you to put them back on :)
 
10. When you say, "Tater, wanna go to the store, or walk, or go get sissy, or anything really" he says "YEAH!" so whole-heartedly with his fists together in the air. It is the cutest!
 
11. He can throw a MAJOR fit these days.
 
12. We went to see Dr. Nye. He weighs 24 lbs. 15 oz., he is in the 90th percentile for height, 70th for weight, & 70th for head size. He's getting so tall!
 
13. He sits very reverently with Mommy at church.
 
14. He will clean up pretty good when I sing the song & help him.
 
15. He says "Meemeemeemee" for "more." I thought he was saying "mommy." No luck :(
 
 
His 4 wheeler he loves now. He loves to push it more than ride it :)

Silly boy :)


He loves to feed himself yogurt....and make a huge mess:)

Stylin

Cute face boy

Playin with cousins. He loves it

fit throwing is quite common these days

Had Mae & Houston over to pain pumpkins

Lookin like a lil missionary boy in his handsome white shirt & his cool tie from Tessie, Zach, & Dakota

He's been such a good boy at church with Mommy!

We went to Gramma Sandi & Grampa Bob's with all the cousins
