Summer Adventures

Tait got his first ride on a Zip Line and wanted to keep going and going. Daddy held his legs while Tait held on tight.

 This was Taits first big climb, he was so determined and within seconds he was up and smiling from ear to ear.

 I had to take a turn on the zipline too.

Uncle Gary took Tait to feed the chickens and he thought they were so funny.

 He even liked eating the chicken feed, kinda :)

Then we had an adventure in a tree house and boy oh boy did Tait have a lot to say when he got up there! back and forth hiding

Tait with Grandpa Simmonds and Great Grandma Simmonds just chillin by the stream. What a handsome group!

 We went to Red Fleet Reservoir with the family and the little man didn't like the lake water at all, but he sure did like all the treats and sand toys to play with on the beach. 

 This is petty much the only picture we got of the 2 of us, not that cutest but still we had fun.

Halloween Party.

We had a Halloween scavenger hunt... so much fun. 

 lots of thing to find like a tomb stone, a bouquet of dead flowers, a funny street sign...

take a picture with a police officer, find orange crayons, mummify a stranger with toilet paper...

 find the #13, kiss a random windshield, buy a small fry and share with everyone in car...

 find a black cat, have a Chinese fire drill, feed a duck, get a price on a casket, etc...

 Can you guess what I was??? probably not so I'll just tell you... a Witch

oh yeah, can't forget the picture with Frankenstein

What a great party!

3 Months Old!!!

Time flies too fast.  I can't believe he is already been around for 3 amazing months.  Tait is a bundle of joy that I get to spend all of my days with.  He smile, giggles, and coos now. Don't you worry he still eat, sleeps and poops, a LOT :O) Even after only 3 months I can't imagine what life was like without him.

 He is getting so big

We have to show his favorite pass time, Tummy time or playing on the floor with his brightly colored toys.

Pumpkin Patch

I really wanted to go hunting for the perfect pumpkin but sometimes I forget how much work it is to take the baby out. By the time we got out the door Tait was already getting a little grumpy so the trip was short and sweet. (If it were up to Doug our trips would always be this way!)

 Look at all those pumpkins... now to find the perfect one!

I can't get enough of those pouty lips

Baby Shower

Some of our wonderful friends from the bank threw Tait a baby shower! We have so much fun going to the bank anyways but this was no exception.  We got to sit and chat a while, while gloating on the adorable main attraction, baby Tait.

 Tait really had to work hard to entertain Randy but at the same time Randy was a hoot!

 Such a sweet lady Mrs. Anne and Taiters

Thank you my Murray Family!!! We Love You ALL!!!

Yay for Birthday Weekends!

 We went for a fantastic get away with some friend over my birthday.  

It was the perfect weekend for a drive up the canyon because of the fall colors.

 We did a lot of four wheeling

 Enjoyed the beautiful scenery

 We loved riding the zip line

 We went hiking to a little reservoir with everyone but had to turn around pretty quickly because of the rain.

The cabin looked out on this little pond, it was beautiful but ice cold at the same time. 

The 1 standing rule for playing in the lake was, if you push someone in, they get to push you in also.

 Wowzers, this was the tallest rope swing I have ever seen. 

Some lucky person had to climb up 30 feet in the pine trees to hang it up.

 It has been so long since I've seen a tier swing.  He wasn't happy but we had to get at least one picture in it.

and of course we had to go shooting for Doug. 

What a great weekend it was with lots of sleeping in, great food, fun games, 

lots of friends, and the wild out doors. Thanks to all who spent it with us!
