Welcome to my family's blog! Well, to be honest, it's mainly Tessa and Tate's blog. However, it does have a little of myself, Angi, & Epoch tossed in. Please leave a comment on any post so I know what people like in order to steer the blog in that direction. Hope to see you visit again!

.::Tessa::.

Here is a current picture of Tessa. She was watching her daddy and grandpa finish a recent 5K.

.::Tractors!::.

There has been an old tractor ride going on the past few days here in the surrounding towns. The 500 plus tractors all stay over night here in town at the fair grounds. So Tate and I went to check them out and he got to ride on a few.

.::Summer Time::.

Tate and Epoch got to bring in summer by playing in their own pools. Epoch made a MUCH bigger mess of his.

.::Tessa fishin'::.

Here is Tessa watching big brother fish, trying it herself, and showing everyone her first catch.

.::Picture update::.

Here are a few new pictures. Tate acting weird in a pool at grandma's. (he gets it from his mother). Tate and Tessa posing. And an individual of Tessa

.::Flooding::.

Here are a few pictures of HWY 30 as it is closed due to the Des Moines river being out of it's banks and actually over the bridge at the moment. It was really something to see. Tate thought it was pretty neat.

.::Pictures::.

Some updated pictures

.::Flooding::.

Here are some pictures that I took during an early morning run last week. This is a park that Tate likes to go and play at. He really likes to take grandma there. The second picture you can see the play set that Tate likes to play on. This was REALLY a of water!

.::Question::.

Are they getting bigger by the minute or is it just me?

And does my mom realize that she still has a blog? I mean come on. Since her last post she has even had a new granddaughter. So I would think there is something she could post about. :) Your welcome mom.

.::Tessa::.

Here are pictures of Tessa since there have not been any for awhile.

.::Bath time::.

Epoch got a bath today with a little help from Tate. The video is of Tate and I rubbing in the shampoo and the picture is the results. A clean white dog again.

.::Look what I found!::.

I found these while I was mowing. What a pay off!

.::Tate two new favorite things are...::.

His new baby sister Tessa and his back pack that he hauls his toys around in.

.::New family pictures::.

.::Close up of Tessa::.

Here are some close up pictures of Tessa. Enjoy!

.::Tessa has arrived!::.

Here are a few pictures of our new addition. Tessa Linn. Tate has already given her many kisses and hugs. She has also had a lot of visitors throughout yesterday and today. Thanks to all who stopped by!

.::Happy late birthday to Zach!::.

Bet you could never tell by looking at this that Tate is close to a year and a half older then Zach. Zach jsut turned one a few weekend's ago!

.::Happy birthday Emily!::.

Tate's friend Emily had a birthday party today. The big 3! Tate was a little shy at first but warmed up soon and was hitting the ballons to everyone and of course right there with everyone waiting for cake. This is the birthday girl with her new umbrella.

.::Monkey see monkey do 2::.

I did it so of course Angi had to try.

.::Monkey see monkey do::.

.::Shadow Jumper::.

I have more profof the mythical shadow jumper. The video is quite dark. "That must be why they call him the shadow jumper". I was just lucky enough to see a glimpse of the creature as it was on my window sill. I had just enough time to grab my camera in order to get video footage. I think this ranks up there with others that have seen Big Foot and Unicorns. It just might make me rich! :)

.::Message Dance::.

Tate dancing video! He is saying "message, message" over and over as he is jumping around. This started when Angi got a message on her cell phone and I acted all excited and then he copied me and from there it turned into a game.

.::What smells?::.

Apparently something smells. I'm going to guess that it was Angi. However I'm positive that you would get a different answer if you asked either of them.

.::Playing "Mr. Fix it"::.

Here is Tate "Fixing" one of his trucks. Notice the hammer on the ground. He is currently using the pliers to tighten the wheels I think. At least that is what he told me.
