Random Little Things

I feel like Tate and I have become little buddies recently. Chris has been gone a lot too, so that leaves plenty of time with the boys. I try and do fun stuff so that I don't get too bored being home alone. (Well, if you don't count two other people I am home alone :) ) Here's a random series of pictures. I guess random little things like these are what has made up my days and evenings lately.


Our neighbors across the street have 5 boys, and Tate is constantly wandering into their yard. There is always something fun over there. One day he found all of these little cars, and then he hauled them all back across the street onto the sidewalk in front of our house. I think it is so crazy that he just naturally is drawn to all this "little boy" stuff.


For some reason he decided to play on his belly???



Everyone has probably had pizookie (pizza + cookie) before, but in case you haven't you should. It is just a big mushy cookie with ice cream on top. The best one I have ever had is at Oregano's. I loved this little picture with Tate's tongue licking the leftovers on his lips.




I was under great pressure to get into position and look natural before the camera took the picture. It didn't really work. I never have myself in the pictures, and I figure I should probably start being in a few that I take of the boys.


As for Tanner, he basically eats, sleeps, and, well, that's about it. Actually he is starting to smile and coo. It is amazing how that tiny smile can make me so happy!

I love how he plays with cars, what cute boys you have! I totally saw you today walking out of Grimauldi's as I was walking in. I didn't say hi though because we were on the other side of the restaurant.

Pizookies are the best! I wish Cooper knew how to lick his lips...it would save a lot of wipes and pain.
