Happy Birthday to Tate!


This guy is 5. This guy is 5! THIS GUY IS 5!!!

No matter how many times I say it, I still can't believe it. He's an awesome kid, my best bud, and he has filled our lives with unimaginable joy.

That's why we picked his name, after all. 'Tate' means 'Bringer of Joy.'

Cobber Homecoming

 Reunited!
 Still not sure why we signed up for this on the Saturday morning of Homecoming......So tired.....
 My kids loved the candy parade! :)
 In front of the belltower.
 Friends!!!
 Quinn loves Michael!
Tate thinks these guys are pretty cool!

Football!

 Brother's #1 fan.
 Tate played YMCA 4 & 5 year old flag football this fall. They spent most of the weeks learning skills, then the last week got to scrimmage. I was a "volunteer coach" throughout it all, then somehow ended up coaching Tate's team in the scrimmage. In a brilliant defensive effort and with a solid run-game, Tate's side prevailed 20-6.
Here are our 2 Sooners!

Wisconsin with the Martinson's

 We went over for a quick day with the Martinson's in July, and took the kids to the Fawn-Doe-Rosa Petting Zoo. The kids loved feeding the animals and getting to pet them.
 Ever pet a skunk? Well, we have now.
 And, of course, we had to end with the pony ride.
We love these guys!
