Pumpkin Carving

Tonight we carved a pumpkin, and after looking at my pictures I noticed a very funny progression of the event.

In the beginning, Tate was excited. We took the top off and he was interested to see what it looked like inside.

"What's inside here?"

"Gross!"

He started losing interest and ran off to get a book. I think he just wanted to let Daddy do all the work.

"Just let me know when you're finished, Daddy."

 

 

And of course he took all the credit! Haha!

"Look what I did!"

 

 

 

 

 



Orchard and more

Before our little run-in with the stomach flu, we've been enjoying this fall weather.

We went to the Center Grove Ochard. What a fun place. Tate loved it!

 



 

He loves all the leaves! Went spent the day on Sunday cleaning up the yard and Tate jumped in every pile we made!



 

Fall

We have this cool place behind our house that has an old one-room school house and some other old buildings. We thought we'd take Tate over there tonight and see if we could get some great 'fall' photos. Well he wasn't very into posing, but I still think we got some cute ones. Besides, these just captured the 'True Tate'. Enjoy.

 

Daddy and Tate (Notice the little diaper butt..hehe)

What's a good picture without a little dirt. Afterall, dirt makes him cuter! 

Sweet Boy!

 



Family Visit

This past weekend we went to Creston to hang out with some family. We got some great family pictures!

Aunt Maagie and Jim and Diana made it up to Creston for the day from St. Joseph, MO. Also, Grandma Ann and Grandma Janis were there too. Papa Dick wasn't feeling well, but we sure missed him. We had a nice time visiting with everyone.

 Aunt Maagie and the kiddos- Cora, Tate, and Kayson.

The Taylor Fam!

 

I just had to put this one on here! This is Cora May! Isn't she just adorable! She is so precious and Aunt Tina just couldn't get enough of her yesterday. Blair always says I'm a Cora Hog! :) hehe...

 

 

 

 

Now this is a little delayed, but last weekend we went to the Siemers side and I just haven't posted the pictures we took. We spent Saturday and Sunday there and just "vegged". :)

 

Grandma and Papa Siemers with Tater (and his tractor of course).

 

Typical Sunday-- Daddy and Tate in their Bronco gear!



Weekend

We had another great weekend! Saturday we tailgated and then went to half of the ISU game. It was a 7 p.m. game, and we decided at half time that we'd get Buddy home for bed. He couldn't have been any better. He watched the game the whole time, and loved that we sat right behind Western Illinois' band. He was perfectly content on Dad's shoulders taking it all in. :)

This morning we played in our PJs until it was time for to get ready for church. I caught some cute 'moments'...

He emptied the wipes from the diaper bag and decided to scrub the kitchen floor

 

Silly

No pants, but stylin with his beads

 

Just before church I decided that it was time for some pictures. We couldn't do a family shot so we decided to do one with Daddy and then one with Mama. 

Stylin' Boys!

 

Mama's Boy!

May you have a wonderful week!
We are loving ALL the signs of fall! :)

Tate for State!

This weekend we went to our friends', Dustin and Emma's, to watch the Iowa/Iowa State game. Beth, Jared, and June also spent the weekend. It was a very relaxing, enjoyable weekend.
I have to admit, it wasn't much of a game, but we were all thrilled about the Cyclone victory! 

Tate had his playmate, June, so he was happy. I caught some adorable pictures of these two. June is a blondie and has bright blue eyes just like Taterbean, so these two make quite the adorbale pair. (I know this makes June's daddy a bit nervous.) :)

Snacking in their Cyclone gear! 

Emma, being the die-hard Cyclone that she is, has this odd little boy statue holding an ISU flag. Tate and June loved it! They wouldn't leave it alone.

They even kissed him...

I thought I'd put this in here...We had a great day cheering! The big kids had fun too!

Check out this booboo on his nose. He face-planted on Friday, but I got a good shot of it on the way home today.  It obviously didn't bother him because everytime I said "Do you have a booboo on your nose?" Tate would bend down and search for one of his toes. Silly guy!

And NOW tonight we are cheering on the Broncos...

Go Cyclones!

We had a great weekend celebrating the Cyclones win and enjoying time with family and friends. It was Grandma Jean Ann's birthday so we celebrated that with her too!

On Saturday, we spent the day tailgating and watching the game. We even took Tater into the game, and he loved it. I think he was amazed and had lots to look at. We had several friends and both the grandparents there to enjoy the food and fun with us.

Not quite tall enough to see over the wall!

Daddy and Tater

We spent Sunday relaxing and today we went to see Janelle, Ryan, Kayson, and our new ADORABLE niece, Cora May. She is just precious! Blair told me that I hogged her all day, and that is just want I planned on doing. :)
I had not posted any pictures from when we first met her. So I better show off the cousin picture I took!

 Miss Cora was born on August 20th. She's lucky enough to have these two boys (Big Brother Kayson and Big Cousin Tate) to look after her!



We had a great weekend and we're lucky to have a short upcoming week! I love weeks that start on Tuesday! :)
