A Boy and His Horse

This past weekend we headed to Brownwood to spend some time with Grandma (now Memaw) and Pawpaw. This was the first time William didn't sleep in his pack and play, and all things considered it went fairly well. Memaw set up a mattress on the floor, and we of course supplied Will's favorite blanket and bear. Someone had to sleep with him the whole night, but he did it! Woo hoo!

On Saturday we drove up to Lone Camp to celebrate cousin Dani's 3rd birthday. She had a princess themed birthday party and the kids had such a great time together. Uncle R.T. took some of the kids for a ride in the pasture to check out the cows. Will was so excited that he kept shouting "BABY COW!!! BABY COW!!!! BABY COW!!!" It was really cute and made us all laugh. We also got to meet David and Michelle's twin boys for the first time. They are just darling. We had so much fun at Dani's birthday party!

Sunday was a big day for William...he rode his horse Tess for the first time!!! He did so well. At first he wanted someone to ride with him so our friend Jacey jumped on. Will loves Jacey! After the Jacey left Will rode all by himself. Such a big boy!!! William asked Memaw to take her for a walk and then when William was tired of walking Memaw asked him if he would like to ride on Tess, and he replied "Yes!". So off they went. It was so cute to watch and Tess is a great horse. Thank you to Memaw and Pawpaw! Here are some pictures of Will and his horse.







We had a wonderful weekend with family and have spent the beginning part of this week enjoying some family time together. We went to the zoo on Monday morning with Daddy and that was a blast. Will loves the zoo! Colby started his job yesterday afternoon, and so far so good. He seems to really like it, and the commute isn't as terrible as he thought. Hopefully it will stay that way! :-)

Nonno should be arriving this afternoon, and as always poor William has a cold. It seems that every time Nonno comes William gets a cold. We have been taking it easy today and Will is not as fussy as yesterday, so hopefully this cold will be gone quickly!

Until next time,
The Tates
