Tater-Bacon

Today my Tate turns 7. Wow, where has the time gone?? 7 years already, really? Wow.

Let's see what I can tell you about Tate that you may not already know.

*On Sunday we had a birthday party with family and he told my brother that he has like 30 girlfriends (yes, I am a wee bit concerned)...

*So far he has lost two teeth (the two bottom ones) and swear 3 others are loose, but I can't seem to locate the loose ones.

*He has a crazy obsession with all things Pokemon. He knows all their types, their families, what

they morph into, what weapons they use. He has every detail memorized, and there are like

500 of them!!

*He is the most compasionate kid I have. If anyone gets hurt he feel so bad for them. Especially

if it's his fault. He makes sure they are okay. He loves to be the 'big brother' to the younger

kids.

*He has a hard time losing at anything. This is tricky because he has a 12 year old brother, so

Tate loses rather often, and when he does, the whole house hears him freaking out over it.

(Right now, not so funny, but perhaos it'll be something we can laugh at when he's older)

*You should see his salesman abilities!! Tyson has fundraisers for baseball, and he takes Tate

with him, cuz Tate's talking always convinces them!

*He does crazy impressions of tv characters and it cracks me up.

*He is by far the silliest kid at this house. He loves to just be silly and obnoxious at times.

Anything to get a laugh.

*He flat out refuses to wear a pink tie for my sister's wedding (but we're getting him talked into

this one)

*He's got mad reading skills. He's on a level M in his class, but he can read even higher than that,

they just don't want to advance him too far ahead of everyone else (Average in his class is H

& I)

*Along with these made reading skills of his, he LOVES to read. He has about a bazillion books

and reading is one thing that can really hold his attention.

*Another thing that holds Tate's attention: Nintendo DS. Wow, when this kid is playing, a train

could run him over and he wouldn't even notice. Same thing if he's watching TV.

*When Tate grows up he wants to play for the Utah Jazz.

*Tate LOVES soccer (had his first game yesterday...more on that later)

Tate's so stinkin cute!! Here are some pictures of him through the ages:
