Family

My family came to visit for Tate's blessing.  My Kendra even surprised me...it was wonderful!  I am so lucky to have such a great family, and the best sisters ever.  We had a full house, but it was perfect and we all had a fun time.

So happy!

 I love this little one SO much!

 So smiley
 He loves being held in this position.  We call him superman and he smiles.
 Kisses from Aunt Kendra
 Papa with his grandboys
 I had to put this picture in because it shows how Presley is towards Tate.  He always wants to touch him...usually his hair!
Grammy with the babes...loving their hands 
 Asleep with Aunt Kyla
Cute boys!  
I am so grateful that my family came down.  I can't wait until Christmas when we can all hang out again...Kayle, Candice and Charlotte included!!

Tate's Blessing

We were able to bless Tate in church this past Sunday.  Lee did an amazing job, and we were so lucky to have almost my whole family there (we missed you K, C & C).  Lee's brother Mike and his family were able to be there too which was wonderful. 
 Happy boy with Grammy and Papa
 I love my little guy
 With his Aunties and Mama
 Kisses
 The whole group (minus Zach...he took off running somewhere)
 Damon was sick, poor boy...fever and all.  The thing in his hand is called his "shoot".  He does not go anywhere lately without it.  He takes it to bed, to his bath, in the car, you name it...it comes with us.
Cute baby

Halloween

 I have come to realize that I don't like Halloween.  I really don't like that it is all about candy...especially with a two year old.  With that being said, I still let Damon enjoy all the Halloween festivities, dress up 4 times, and each time eat candy.  
Tate tuckered out

Me and the boys at Midwestern's Halloween party 
 Damon loved this big slide.  He went on it a bunch of times and had a blast!

So lucky to have such great friends with great kiddos here!  Notice Damon is trying to kiss little Abby...haha 
 Hanging out!
 Trick or treating on Halloween night.  Auntie Kyla and Presley were able to be here too!
I love my little family!

 I love this.  So sweet.
Happy Halloween!

Two months

Our little guy is already two months old!  I am pretty sure time goes faster with your second baby.  He is starting to do a little better, which makes us very happy.  Damon still can't get enough of him and feels like he needs to kiss him every three minutes.  He is becoming quite the chunky baby...which makes me happy :)  At his two month appointment, he was:
24 in - 83rd percentile
12 lbs 7 oz - 65th percentile (exact same weight Damon was at 2 months, weird)
...and he has a small head (18th percentile)...pediatrician said he takes after me.  I had no idea I had a small head, but the doctor has now pointed out that I do two times :(  Haha.
 He loves sleeping on his Daddy :)
 Damon loves holding Tate...and he wants to do it all by himself.
 He is becoming more and more smiley.  He still is always sticking out his tongue though..grr.
 He has a good pout
 Froggie picture
 I wish you could see his face in this, he had quite the smile :)
 I LOVE my boys!!!
It is rare to see me in a picture, I know.  Tate is such a cutie!

Kyla and Presley

Kyla and Presley came to visit us recently, and we loved every minute of it!  It was great having my sister and adorable nephew here with us.  It was fun to have all three little boys together.  Damon loved Presley, just didn't like when he drooled on his toys...haha.  We also got to hang out with Uncle Tim too for a day :)
 I think this is so sweet...so happy!
 What a handsome boy!!!
 Damon helping Presley chew on a toy...I think Damon would later regret this.  He started taking toys away from Presley and scattering them throughout the house.
 :)
 Snoozing with Auntie Kyla
 The three boys.  It was pretty much impossible to get a good picture of all three of them.
 These two will be best buddies!
 Presley isn't so sure about silly Damon.
 Lee with the boys.  Presley wasn't so sure of Lee at first.  It was funny, he would just stare at him and not take his eyes off of him.  He eventually warmed up to him :)
 Tate loved Kyla...he would smile at her so much.
 Cute baby! 
 Reading to Presley
 Me, Kyla and our boys :)  I think the second picture is funny...Presley wanted some of Damon's fishy crackers.
 Love him!!
 You can never give too many kisses.
Little Tate :)
We miss you guys already.  Come back soon.
