Angi and Tate pose after picture taking. Notice the John Deere in Tate's hand? That is how they would get him to pose for the pictures. He had that in every picture, whatever works, right?

High hopes of becoming a flower girl for a wedding some day !!!!!

If you click on the picture and enlarge it you can see Tate has his mouth wide open and singing too. He was rocking back and forth with his music and the girls we starting to walk away. (he didn't seem to care) :)

The groom is trying to teach the kids a new move, but I don't know if any of them got it. Tate seem to be listening and doing the best moves with him.

This is Tate getting warmed up for the big dance. They had music playing during the meal. The top picture is his "Make Me Wanna Shout" move. They were down and putting their arms and legs up but he didn't grasp that part too well. The second one is him trying to get two little girls to do some dance moves with him, but he was too fast of a dancer for them.

Ok it was time to get the tux on Tate so Dad and Grandpa took the challenge. It was a hard fought battle to the end but well worth the fight

We got into the final round, and the next post finds Tate very charming

This is Tate in the tux he wore for the ring bearer job he did for his aunt Jenny's wedding on Saturday. Grandpa is getting ready to pin on his flower for the picture taking event. He did very well for a 20 month old. Plus his shirt was a size 6, the pants were also, but they tacked them up about 6 inches so his crotch was really low, but he didn't look too bad once all was tucked in and pulled up above the waist. Oh and the shoes were 2 sizes too big. The tux place didn't tell them they had nothing that small until the morning before the wedding. So he pulled it off well. We went back to the hotel and changed for the dancing, and those pictures will come later, he REALLY enjoyed that part.

If Connie would have just moved her leg Jay could have gotten in the picture too. Sure must have been a good show for all of us to be so cuddly. (think Bill would fit up there now?)

Eric and Angi were looking for a picnic table and Chuck mentioned that we don't use our much anymore so they could take ownership. It was John Deere colors with yellow benches and a green top and I decided I would decorate it up some for them. Now we just have to get the heavy thing to them.

Last Saturday night we went to the sprint car races in Knoxville with Sara. She got some free tickets at work so we thought we would see what they were like. It is a little "loud" as Tate would hold his ears and say, but it was really fun to watch those little cars go very fast around that 1/2 mile track. Oh, and it was also VERY hot on those metal bleachers looking into the sun, the drink line was always about a 1/2 mile long also. :) We each drank about 2 bottles of liquid when we got to the car. Remember if you want to see the cars better, you can just click on the picture and it will show a bigger view.

When we took Tate home last Friday he was being funny so I got the camera out and he wanted me to take pictures of his cell phone and his sippy cup. Also his feet and other things but I decided not to post them. :)

Tate loves to blow bubbles, even the adults had a great time

Kailee and Tate had a great time together on the Fourth, at the fireworks on a blanket and playing in the chair before supper.

The three 4th of July ladies in red. AND, as Tate is always saying, "happy, happy, happy". We have sung that "If Your Happy And You Know It" song many times this week

Tate and Hannah are waiting for the candy to be thrown. And when it does come Hannah has a good take off and Tate is just getting out of the starting blocks. BUT, the first time they threw the candy, Tate picked it up and threw it back at them. We did finally get the concept and got a BIG bag of candy, sorry mom and dad, it is coming to your house.

Tate thought his truck should go down and up the driveway like Grandpa's so off they went and then it was a long haul back up the drive. Grandpa has some back breaking jobs this week.

As you can tell by the newest pictures that I have up we have Tate for the week. He has been helping out with the chores around here too. He is helping Grandpa till the garden the old fashion way. Of course it is probably a back breaker for Grandpa but Tate enjoyed the work.

We went to Old Chicago to eat after a hard day of washing cars and Tate had his own pizza with dipping sauce in a huge bowl. And as you can tell, he loved every bit of it, plus the posing. ( He ate the spinach and articoke pizza too that Sara and Grandma ordered, but his daddy wouldn't try it.

we had a little car washing project at home on Saturday and Tate thought Sara needed a little extra help with her dirty vehicle. He didn't wring out the mitt too well and water was all over him and the mitt was almost as heavy as he was when he pulled it up out of the bucket.
