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:)

fit throwing is quite common these days

Liv's Golden Bear Assembly

Liv & Brianna got to sing at their Golden Bear Assembly at school. It honors good kids who the teachers have nominated for doing such a great job & improving themselves in school. The cheerleaders also performed so I will have to upload that video from the video camera :) Liv & Brianna did an awesome job! They sang Pink & One Direction maybe? 's duet "Give me just one reason" Those girls are so brave! I never would have done that!

Halloween Festivities & party at the Friedli's!

I LOVE Halloween! I was super excited for this party in particular this year to show off my costume. We have been making our costumes a surprise & I love it. It was perfect for the debut of a little secret I had too :) :) :) Plus any party with the Friedli's is awesome & always loads of fun!

Our fun Halloween decorations. Tater LOVES our lights. He always wants them plugged in :)

More Halloween decs

 
We decided to paint pumpkins & invited Ashley last minute to have Beau bring her kids up to join us since she wasn't feeling too good. She decided to come with them & it was so much fun! Tate liked it. We then put them all in the tub to wash off all the paint. It was cute. Houston decided to turn on the jets in the tub, but there wasn't enough water in there so it came streaming out of the holes like a fire hydrant would & completely terrified the little ones. It was so sad, but so funny at the same time! All me & Ash could do was laugh & then rescue Tate & Mae & hug them better. Thanks for coming up last minute guys! It was fun :)
Me & my lil man creating a masterpiece :)

Houston & Mae hard at work

Cute undies shot :)

The bathtub, pre-crying ;)
 
Baker & Bun in the Oven

Olivia was Catwoman, HoneyBun a pumpkin, & Tate was a garden gnome. He hated his costume so bad though

My cute mom & her Halloween fun



Rootbeer with dry ice

Fun games. Bobby lost. Bad!

I got us a jack o'lantern pizza on Halloween night. It was actually REALLY good! I don't ever get Papa Murphy's take-n-bake pizzas & I was quite impressed. Their cheesebread was SOOOO good too!

Bobby blowin out a candle on his cupcake on his way out the door :(

Cute Papa Ed. Me & Tater went to visit him on our way. Liv went to Bella's for trick-or-treating

Me & Tater dressed up as pirates because I didn't have the heart to make him dress up in his gnome costume again. He still wasn't happy about me drawing his mustache on, but it was a much better scene than the Halloween party at my parents ;)

Visiting Gramma Marilyn & Grampa Bert

Houston & Mae came at the same time. They love them some Tater-time. Mae was kissing him & Houston was tickling his belly. It's so cute how much they love him :)
 
Visiting Daddy at work


 


Happy Halloween!!!


Happy birthday Bobby


My party pooper husband wanted to cancel his birthday dinner for his birthday present. So, we didn't celebrate it with anyone. He also had to work on his birthday-LAME! I offered to switch, but he didn't want to. So I made him a cake & cupcakes & had them waiting for him in the morning. He had worked the night before, so this is him blowing out his candle before he is headed to work again, on the rest of his bday. Bummer. Tater & I did go visit him at work though in our costumes & brought him balloons & donuts to share with everyone. I got him a massage & facial to enjoy all by himself. We also went to dinner at Bout Time Pub & Grill & invited Kenny & Shiloh. They actually came & brought Tayvin. It was so fun. We all had a great time & Tate was the bestest boy. He loves to be out & about :) We ended up just relaxing Sunday night since he canceled his bday party, so of course we watched the Walking Dead & all in all I think it ended up being a pretty fun birthday. Happy birthday babe. Love you. Xo

The rest of our October fun!

*Love the fall! SO many fun things have happened this month! We found out Ashley is expecting, and that Tessie & Zach are too! In fact, their due dates are one day apart! May 8th & 9th! SO happy for both of these families...
*Zach got a new job. So excited for him & hope it works out! He works at Trace Minerals with Bobby's brother Billy, who is one of THE nicest people I know! We hope, pray, & wish the best for Z that he likes it & it goes well....
*Me & Livers got to go watch my niece Aubree play volleyball for Roy High. She's the captain & the cutest, most awesome & amazing girl! It was fun to see Patty Wintle, Mandy Hull, & the Palaez's there too! Me & Liv went & got ice cream after at Big Scoops. Yum-my!...
*We had Zach & Maelee's family dinner/birthday parties. Always fun to celebrate a bday!...

Playin with Grammy & Poppy


There's my belly button Gram :)

He loves to set up his bowling pins. He got a set from my friend Heather for his bday & inherited a set from who else? The Lythgoe/Morgan's!

He was so scared of this at first, but now loves it.
Still can't master the driving, but he's learning ;)

Me & Livers had a mom/daughter night & went to watch my niece Aubree play volleyball & then out for ice cream.
She's the captain for Roy High & she is the cutest, sweetest girl. She is a wonderful example to Liv & a great babysitter for Tater too! 


Loves to feed himself like a big boy

He looked so cute when me & the girls (Liv & Brianna) were runnin errands, I just had to take a pic

Major fit throwing these days. Fun :)

Handsome little missionary boy

We went to dinner at Bobby's parents after a family fast for our niece Bentlee. She has been in Primary Children's while they are trying to figure out why she is so sick & almost going into kidney failure. It turns out she has lupus, which there are also different types of lupus. Hers is the autoimmune type that attacks her own organs. We keep hoping & praying she will recover & her kidneys will get under control. Poor girl, she's only 12.
So Bobby's family did a family fast together & ended it on Sunday so we could all get together for dinner.
 
 

Tater loved Logan! He is always a little shy, but he LOVED him!


Karsyn, Landon, & Tayson

Tater & Gramma Sandi

Happy 29th birthday Z!
