Tate loved this wall it's black PVC pipes and golf balls, you put the pipes together and then put the golf balls thru them, we spent a good half an hour on it.

Tate's Swimming Lessons

We have been taking swimming lessons for about two weeks now, it's been so much fun and very tiring.
Tate is doing good, he loves the water, at first he didn't like going under the water but now he really likes it. We started working on floating he hasn't got it yet but his instructor said he is doing good for a first "timer".

Here are a few pics:

Father's Day Fun!!

We had a great father's day, I made Garrett breakfast German pancakes, crispy bacon and fruit. Garrett opened the gifts that Tate and I got him. Tate helped daddy unwrap his gifts, such a good little helper!!
And we had a great dinner I made Pork Spareribs, White rice, Steamed Field Greens, Cornbread and a Yummy Yogurt Fruit Dessert.

I love my hubby, I'm so grateful he is the Father of my son! He is a great example to Tate, he takes the time to play and spend time with us as a family. Thank You Garrett for being the best Husband and Father!!

He is so cute!! He is officially a toddler he is walking everywhere!! He likes "playing" piano, absolutely loves playing with his cars, he loves cars period, even when we are out in the back yard he hears a truck going by and gets all excited!! Loves animals, I can't wait to take him to the Zoo and the aquarium!! He especially loves dogs!!
He loves scrambled eggs, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and mandarin oranges. Had no problem switching from formula to whole milk. Loves Ice Cream!!
He loves to be tickled and likes to tickle us back, adores his daddy when daddy is home no one else exists. Says Mmmm! when he is eating and when he is hungry, plays pick-a- boo and hide and seek. Gives cuddles all the time this is a new thing and we love it. He likes his back scratched.

Anyway he does so many cute things I could go on and on about him, can you say :"Proud Mama"!!

Our 5th Anniversary!!!

This has been the best 5 years of my life, they haven't been always easy but definitely the Best. I married the greatest man, Garrett is everything I ever dreamed of and more. I wake up everyday knowing that I am loved and that I love him so very much. I love seeing him with our baby boy, he is caring, affectionate and fun. Garrett makes me laugh everyday!! I only hope that I can give back to him as much as a get from him. He and Tate are my everything.
I love being married to Garrett!!
