{good times on the court...}

one of the best things about winter is basketball!!!
we definitely look forward to watchin my lil' bro. jensen
in action...go t-wolves!


even by bro. in-law gets in on it...he's the jv coach
{oh, the patience}

tate voicing his frustration after a devastating loss...



{A FEW OF THE DIE-HARDS}




when tate needs a little break,
he ventures underneath the bleachers.
this game sometimes leads to goose-eggs
and bruises on the noggin :(



and what would bball season be without a little
jr. jazz in our lives? even my little twinners get
a piece of the action...they are ballers baby!


for a lil guy-tate sure loves CHOWING some
wendys...oh and a...cheering on his aunties
and uncle at the games...what a champ.

a very merry un-birthday to you...tatie!







today my little lovie turns 1&1/2. its so hard to believe that is was 18 months ago tate joined our family. he is such a sweet little boy and i just needed to give him a shout out on this special day. he has been a dream the last little while and it might be safe to say the worst of his "naughty" phase is behind us. he sleeps in, he gives kisses, squeezes, high-fives and a bust anytime you ask. he repeats almost anything and everything i do or say {which could get scary} and best of all...drum roll please... he gets to go to nursery this week!!!! tate i will miss chasing you during relief society every week...but i know you will so much enjoy sharing germs with all the other banchies in the nursery. you truly are the apple of my eye and i cherish every moment i share with you. love you, love you, love you!!!!!

i've got the holiday blues...

so the holidays are over. the parties have ended,
the decor is down, the yummy food is
gone {and all i've got to show is a big booty}
and its so sad! the only thing i have left to
do is blog about our events. apologies for the picture
overload...but it truly was one for the books!
