Tate turns 6!

Tate turned six last Thursday and we celebrated with him for a few days. I took him lunch and cupcakes to school on Thursday to celebrate with his class. Thursday night we took him to Rosie's for dinner where he had a special birthday desert. On Saturday, he had his birthday party at the bowling alley. From my perspective, it was a very easy party, all I had to bring was the birthday boy and a cake. Tate had picked out a Nascar cake from the Publix Bakery (this IS Alabama you know:). We had a great party complete with friends from the neighborhood, his preschool class, kindergarten, and some of his cousins. It was a fun day and goes without saying how shocking it is to me that my baby is 6!!






We also had visitors over the weekend from Orlando. Travis' childhood friend, John, his wife Cheyenne, and son Rulin came up just in time to see the fall leaves at their peak. We had a wonderful time showing them around our city.

Halloween Fun!

We had a great time celebrating Halloween at the boys' schools and in our neighborhood. Miller had a program at school, but I am sad too say he was too out of sorts to participate in the singing. For reasons known only to a 3 year old, he did not want to wear his costume, or go to school on Friday (which is not normally a school day for him anyways). So, he boycotted the show but did trick-or-treat around the school building and ran around with his friends. Tate had "Hooray for Hollywood" at school complete with red carpet and a limousine. They announced each child in their starring role, "Tate Alston starring as Superman." It was really fun for his class to be famous:)



Notice the boy all the way on the left, that is Dequez as President Obama. He is the funniest little boy with tons of personality, he has just the "charisma" to be a perfect Obama.


Halloween night we had our second annual neighborhood party in our next door neighbor's front yard. We had fun food to eat, chili, and the kids played games. Then we went around the neighborhood to collect our treats. It was a fun night for all!
