Gu-uys! What am I going to do about this kid growing up?!

Uh, people, when did my baby turn into this large toddler?

Eric got some shots of Tate on his cool truck from Aunt Jennifer. I just looked at him sleeping (in his toddler bed because he's so stinkin' grown up) and gave him a kiss, to which he promptly made a stinky face and turned away burying his face into his pillow.

p.s. Office fans, the title is to be read with the voice and influction of Michael in the episode where he's hanging with the girls at the mall and says something like, "Gu-uys! What am I going to do about Jan?"

Look at MY CREATION!!! bwa-ha-ha-ha!

before

My sister-in-law, Melissa, inspired me to do stuff. So here's my thing. (I can see Mrs. Mitchell, my old English teacher cringing at those last two vague sentences.) And yes, yes, I know, she actually makes furniture, but this is still venturing out there for me.

after

This was g-ma's entertainment center that nobody wanted. I couldn't even sell it on Craig's List, so I used our left-over wall paint to make it purty. I sanded the edges for a little antique look and contrast to the wall, but you can't tell much from the picture. I'm excited to have it now and add some decorative touches =) Best of all, it was free!

It's Been a While

Here's a couple shots at cousin Brandon's 2nd birthday party yesterday. Tate was too busy finding little jobs (like toting water from one pool to the other) to jump in the pool. He loved the homemade apple juice popsicles. Thanks Katie!

His latest trick is spontaneous praying. He'll be in the middle of playing and stop, fold his arms, say some jibber-jabber, and then "amen!". It's pretty cute. Today was the best sacrament meeting since he finds praying so fun. He folds his arms and smiles for every prayer and even adds a few of his own =)
