....so that is it for now...more to come later!

We went to Build-A-Bear tonight so Tatum could make a bear for Mason. (Mike and I did this for Tatum when he was born and it's still his favorite bear.) I snapped a couple shots of Tatum as he was very excited about giving Mason his first Build-A-Bear.

Taking Charge

Tatum loves the stroller! He decided he is the official stroller driver. I was holding on to the side to try to 'help' him and he let me know he had it under control. He is such a good brother!


Sorry the picture is blurry - it's the best I could do while walking and trying to keep up with the boys!

When we got home from the doctor's office, Tatum was home from school and was impressed by his little brother sleeping in the car seat.


Tatum was being a good helper and rocked Mason.

Boy Bonding

On Sunday, Tatum wanted to show Mason his favorite video games that he plays with Mike.

Our little artist

Only 2 kindergarten students received this award! We are so proud of Tatum!

Hat Day!

Official Soccer Picture

He's performing a 'rock dance' so this was the only appropriate shirt
for the occasion.

Getting ready for the variety show!

A great day at the Braves game!

First Soccer Game

Tatum had his first soccer game today. The boys were AWESOME and had a lot of fun. Here's a couple pictures of the game.

Tatum's 6th Birthday

6th Birthday

Tatum's birthday was a couple weeks ago and I'm just now posting some of the pictures. We all had a great time bowling and 2 of his buddies spent the night.

He is growing up so fast and I'm so thankful to have such an amazing young man. Everyday he teaches me new lessons and makes me aspire to be a better person. God truly blessed us with him! Five years old was a great year of learning, fun and adventure. I'm excited to see what six years old brings us!

Reading Celebration

Here's the video of Tatum's Reading Celebration. We all had a great time!

Can you tell he's excited about his birthday?!?

And there's still a month to go!

*UPDATED* The Nutcracker

Tatum's class at school performed The Nutcracker on Friday. I'm posting some of the video and pictures I took. Tatum was the Nutcracker and did a great job!

Halloween

Here are the pics from tonight. Tatum had a lot of fun trick or treating with his buddy, Wes. We went over to their house for a neighborhood cookout and then the trick or treating fun began. I'll post some more details later, but just too tired tonight. I just wanted to get these pics up for everyone.

Halloween

Fun Run

Tatum's school had their annual fundraiser today and it was a lot of fun! The kids did a great job and were able to raise alot of money for the school. Tatum's class has decided that with the money they receive, they will create a dramatic play area. You know that is right up his alley and he is so excited about it! If we haven't asked already and you want to donate to his school, please let me know! For everyone who already donated, we thank you so much for supporting him and his school.

Please note - it was totally Tatum's choice to wear the sweatband.

Fun Run

FYI - Some of the pictures are blurry, but I just wanted everyone to see how they had it set up. :)
