Our Crazy Life!!: May 2008

Houston

We were able to take a trip to Houston this weekend. We had so much fun. We went to the Children's Muesuem, a wedding, the aquarium and the beach. Tate was sooo good through it all.

We had a great time at the beach.

Tate's favorite part of the trip was the beach. He just wanted to sit in the tide and slap at the water. He would move down as the tide went out.

Tate was getting cold so we brought him back to the towels to play. He sat down for about 30 seconds and then...

Up he went...

back to the water...

standing...

and back to slapping the water!!!

The Houston aquarium was really neat. There was a ferris wheel, train to the shark tank and a carousel. The fish were amazing. Some were bigger than Tate.

There was one exhibit where you were allowed to touch the fish. There was a place where Tate was able to go under it and look up at the fish. It was cute to see his little face below us.

On the train to see the sharks. We didn't get much expression out of Tate. We think he was just so tired. He was able to run around in the aquarium and he talked the entire time.

The ferris wheel was really fun.

The reason we went to Houston was to attend a wedding. Tate was napping when we got to the temple so I stayed with him while Scott went in. We didn't have anyone to watch him so I was glad he was able to nap and get prepared for the rest of his day.

The temple grounds were so beautiful.

Grandpa Knowles, check out Tate driving a classic Mustang!

There was the cutest car Tate was able to drive. He could push the gas, change tires and fill the tank with gas. There was also a really sweet girl in the car with him.

We started our day at the children's museum.

I love blueberries!!!

Easter

I'm Walking and I'm lovin it!

Tate in his new sandbox.

Feeding the ducks.

Tate and Tyler had fun following each other up the stairs.

Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks. So cute.

Easter with the cousins.

We got up early Easter morning and had a egg hunt at the park. It was a little chilly.

Tate Christmas

It snowed!!! March 6th and it snowed quite a bit.

Lisa took Tate and I to a very fun drive thru zoo. We were able to hand feed giraffes and see all sorts of animals. The ostrich was hysterical. It was so big and just brushed up against the van as it walked around. We had to drive slow so we didn't hit it.

Yes this is a giraffe eating food out of Connor's hand who is sitting on my lap.

The only thing between me and those zebras is a window. Whenever the zebras came close we hurried and rolled the windows up.

We were able to celebrate Trevor's birthday while he was here.

I think he liked it!

Sarah was such a big help with Tate. She is such a cutie.

Scott (yes Scott) has had soooo much fun with this toy.

My first trip to McDonalds.

Tate opening Christmas presents at home.

Grandma and I took Tate up the mountain to see snow.

Tate learned how to wave. He loved to sit at the end of the counter and wave at Grandma and Grandpa while they ate.

Grandma watched Tate while Grandpa, Scott and I went to a movie. A few days later we happened to look up and found baby food on the ceiling. So, what happened grandma?

Tate with Grandpa

We know Grandma Gloria loved to cook. Here is Tate trying out his first sweets. Pumpkin pie!

We took Tate to Cafe Rio. Scott let him try some of his chicken. The rest of the time we were there he kept grabbing Scott's hand searching for more chicken.
