October FHE

I love this time of year and I love when my family gets together for our October FHE. We always have a blast together, eating a delicious dinner made with love by my mom, carving pumpkins, decorating sugar cookies, and just chatting away. Man I love this time of year!!

GREAT Job WOWZER CATS!

For the past couple months my brothers, cousins, and husband have been playing softball every Thursday night together at the Cottonwood complex in Holladay. Their last game was this past Thursday and they went out with a bang. It has been so much fun getting together with everyone on thursday nights to watch these WOWZER CATS show us their softball skills. I hope to see the Wowzer cats reunite next year!!

Family Pics

Lindsey Wright is the BEST! Thank you so much for putting up with Tate that day, I have no idea what his deal was. Your seriously the greatest Linds, We cant wait to see the rest!

Any Ideas on what to feed a 9 mnth old?

I need some major HELP!! I am finding myself alittle frusterated and out of ideas on what to feed Tate. I am still feeding him baby food and trying to introduce "real" food. I need ideas on what to feed him for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I would greatly appreciate any ideas and suggestions. This whole food thing is definitely alot harder then I thought.

Annual Rice Family get together

Last Saturday we had our Annual Rice family get together up at the McQueen's cabin just past Oakely. Craig and Ann are so nice to open their cabin to our WHOLE family once a year. We all look so forward to getting together for lots of chatting, a delicious dinner, and motorcycle riding. It was so weird for me to think that just last year at this time Tate was still cooking in my belly and now a year later he was crawling all over the place with all his buddies, time sure does fly by. It's sad that it has already come and gone, but I look forward to next year for sure!!

Tate's first four wheeler ride, he didn't want to get off. His arms couldn't stop flapping from excitment the whole ride. Like father like son!

One of my favorite pics of the night. Notice Tate's sweatshirt, GO UTES!!

Beautiful Green girls minus Kelley and Danielle. Oh yeah and one darling boy, Tate

Up Up and Away. Tate loved the swing. He couldn't get enough of it and got mad at us when we took him off. I'm sure he felt like such a "Big boy"

The younger generation of grandkids and greatgrandkids

Tate's first time sitting on a motorcycle. His daddy was so proud.

Our little family. It is so weird to think that Tate was in my belly last year and now look how big he is.

The little kiddos. They are all about a month apart.

Green Family Picture- it is so much fun to see how much we have changed and grown from year to year.

Better Late Then Never!

Like I said in the Title of this post, Better late then never! We were able to go to Lake Powell with Dev's Family at the end of July and we had a BLAST! It was definitely different with a little one to take care of and we ran into a couple bumps, but over all it was fun. Tate did great on the ride there and back he was quite the trooper. The first two days we were there Tate was in some pain from teething, but we took care of that with a little children's tylenol. Tate had a bad case of diarreha and had his worst blowouts to date. It's a good thing we were right on a big bathtub, right!! He didn't want anything to do with his baby food only bottles and I think he was afraid of missing out on all the action cause his nap schedule was shot. Despite these little bumps we had a great time and were able to experience many "Firsts" with Tate. For Devin and I it was fun to be back on the water again. Devin hasn't been to Lake Powell for like 5 years and last year all I was able to do was ride in the boat cause I was prego with Tate. We were alittle rusty when it came to Tubing, wakeboarding, and surfing. But had a great time and can't wait for next year. Thanks Joe and Melinda for a wonderful trip!
