Playing with Brody and Cory turns 24

Tate still loves that picture!

 We went on a little walk in the morning and decided to stop by and see Brody.  They loved playing together!

 Later, after nap time, we went and walked around Target.  Tate LOVED these blow up scary monsters!  Must get that from his Grandma and Mom!

 Waiting for Addie and listening to silly kids songs!  Hi!  There was a little Tate t-shirt in the garbage in his room.  While I was in the living room, he went and got it out and brought to me.  I said, "Where did you get that Tate?" I SWEAR he said, "Trash".  I said, "The trash?!?  He said, "Ya!"  I was freaking out!  I think we just had a conversation!!!

 I had Addie this week since Jeff was out of town with the Chief for a convention.  I took her to ALA Peter Piper Pizza day.  She played with Sophia.  Arugala Salad for dinner!  Mmmm????

 Connor dropped Tate off early Friday morning.  Addie and Tate watched some Barney together.  Then he got a hold of Ms. Pennymaker and walked around the house giving her kisses!

 Later on (after nap time) I gave him a spoon with some peanut butter on it!  Now that good stuff!

Sept 14th was Cory's 24th birthday!  Kendal made him a spice cake! 

Me and Mr. Tate :)

Camping and hiking the Crossover Trail

Friday, we went and got our Little Guy and camped on the East Fork of the Black River.  We wanted to try out our new awning!  

 On Saturday, we hiked the Mount Baldy Crossover Trail
(7 Miles)

It was rainy and cold but once we started, we warmed up fast.  The rain never really stopped but it was actually refreshing (when it wasn't soaking us).

 Just a day hike, so no heavy packs! 

 I had  to stick my phone in a tree to get this picture. We were sitting on a big rock on the side of the little river.  Bummer I couldn't get it in the picture!

Then we found a secluded camp site for the night and headed back home the next day.
