Tate was scared of the mixer, but once he realized he got to lick the cake batter and the frosting off of the beaters, he became a fan of that mixer.
Had to get the frosting off of his cheeks somehow :)

Brett's Birthday
Brett's birthday was last Friday, so Tate and I decided to make him a cake...

Update Summer 2009
We have been horrible about updating this blog - I wish I could blame Brett for the delay... So, to avoid finger-pointing, I'm diving in to figure out how to update the blog myself (Brett showed me how to do it about a year ago). As my blogging skills are still weak, i haven't figured out how to upload the photos and re-arrange them in a manner that makes chronological sense, so you'll just have to bear with me while I stumble through. The important thing is the update after all.
Here's a candid shot - Tate eating lunch with Sonia and Danny - notice how he's stealing Danny's fries while everyone else is distracted by the camera? Takes after his father.
We rented a house on Vashon Island for Memorial Day weekend with our friends Pamela, Mitchell and Andrew. (Andrew and Tate are only 4 months apart). This is a photo of the boys down by the water, throwing rocks into the Sound.
Tate and Brett down on the sand learning about shells, rocks, and waves. Later that weekend we saw two Orca whales swimming out in the Sound - they were so close, it was incredible. Unfortunately, they're also fast, and we couldn't get a shot of them.
The May birthday cousins get ready to blow out their candles - icecream cake for everyone! The green frosting was especially colorful after Tate got it all over his mouth/teeth/face/fingers.
On Mother's Day, Tate learns to blow bubbles with Grandma.
A visit to the water play station at OMSI (we visit this place frequently :))
This is from our Christmas gathering at my sister's house. Tate got a great book from his cousin, Rhen (it has over 100 flaps!- he loves that book!)
Christmas morning - present time!!!
This is at the Macy's Christmas Village - in line to get a photo with Santa.
Photo of us in the snow by our front steps- you can see that Brett has a snowball in his hand. He's sneaky like that.
This is from a post-Christmas family gathering at our house. The snow over the holidays kept us from being able to see everyone. Someone thought it would be good to see how many people they could shove onto one chair - kinda like clowns in a Volkswagon :) The clowns in this photo include my sister, Kim, her children, Rhys & Rhen, and Tater on top.
Getting ready for the Easter Egg hunt at Grandma's house!

Big Sky
This past weekend we headed out to Montana...Big Sky Country for Lee Rahr's big Bithday celebration. The Trip was absolutley fantastic. The Ranch was amazing and had just about every type of landscape to explore....and we did just that! Here are some pics just to give a taste of how beautiful it was. It's truly the way to live!
Don't forget to click on the picture to get the full size! Some of the shots don't look as nice in the minimized image.
Of course it's the people that really made the trip.
Dogs are people too....
And I love to take some Flower shots. Hard to mess up when they are that beautiful.
Even more shots on Snapfish!
