My Shinning Star!

This last week at School Tate got to be the "Shinning Star" for his class. They spotlighted Tate and let him be the "line leader". It made him feel really special. Tate helped us make this poster about himself. Some facts about my little man:
1- Favorite Food- Pizza (cheese)
2- Favorite Football team- KC Chiefs.... of course!
3- He likes North Carolina (basketball)
4- He likes Airplanes (it is in his blood i swear!)
5- Loves the Aggies, especially Gary Wilkinson. Tate loves to go to the games with his dad. He stands up and cheers THE ENTIRE GAME! What a sports junky.
6- Likes the KC Royals!
7- Tate has been to Hawaii, Boston, Kansas City, and ID- Island park and Rexburg.
8- He loves his family (check out his drawing!)
9- He also loves his CAT! You have got to read what he made me write about our "furry dork".
10- Tate loves his little Sister. They are such cute, best little buddies!
We sure love this little boy. He is such a good, kind, well mannered little man. Hopefully he stays that way. We truly are blessed to have Tate in our Family!

Fishing...... yes, I was told only FISHING with his daddy! I about FREAKED when I was told that my son was pretty good with a BB gun! Only because I knew that there were a whole bunch of young scouts in the same area shooting as well! aaaahhh! Jeff said Tate shot really well and loved it. They only caught a few little fish but they both had a great Father-son date! Thanks Jeff for taking Tate along with you. He just told me today that he sure misses his day of fishing and shooting with his daddy!

Great News!!!

Tonight while we were enjoying dinner together as a family we started talking about what we all wanted to be when we grow up...
Tate is going to be a doctor that fixes peoples bones when they break them.
and...
Ellie, sweet Ellie! She informed us that she would like to be a Farmer who grows carrots. She would like to do this so that she can feed the carrots to Horses! Now picture her saying all of that in the way only Ellie can with her head leaned to her right shoulder, lips puckered, eyes batting, and shaking her head yes. Tates face was red from laughing so hard with his food spilling out everywhere! It was a good time...
I am such a proud mother.... who will have access to all of the carrots and broken bone fixes I want!
