Tate's Projects

Tate LOVES making 'projects'! He loves to draw, cut, glue, tape, design, craft it up, and invent! One morning, he came up with this blueprint for this machine to smash balls and shoot them out the side. He designed and drew it, explained how it worked to me, and we built it together.

Of course Beau wanted to get in on the action. So we built one for him too!

Spring Time

Trip to Idaho and Utah Preview

Those crazy Idaho nights........

What was the first word I heard when stepping off the plane in Boise, ID?

JIMMER.

In fact, I think it was also the first word I heard when returning to the East Coast landing at Dulles. And the hype is warranted.

BYU plays Thursday night - can't wait!

Um, another athlete that warrants all the hype. This guy here - the KMVT Idaho Athlete of the Season.......6 foot 10 inches.....Kevin Jurgensmeier. (Above: Tate with a life size picture of Kev hung on the gym wall at the state tournament!)

More to Kev to come! We had tons of fun watching him at State.... his dunk at the end of the first quarter against Rigby made that cross country flight with 2 children worth it... big time!

More Jimmer suspense. Oh wait, I think this might be watching E.T.

So much fun with Heiner cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Surgery Practice

As we were walking through the halls at the hospital, Tate said to someone passing, "Excuse me, I'm going to go do surgery."

Bear Ride

Happy Valentine's Day

Tate's preschool valentines. He wanted to write a personalized message in each one - anything from, "You are my best friend" to "Screw drivers are for fixing things".

Date Night - heading to the Hotel Hershey Iberian Lounge.....Spanish flava.

Live music, cozy atmosphere, great company, and an 80 year old couple on the dance floor with the most amazing moves I have ever seen from any dancers. Period. You would have to see it to believe it, and you can. (Every Saturday night they dance away.) I'm guessing they were Milton's favorites too.
