Father Son Outing

This week Ben took Tate to the Thomas and Friends show at the E Center. As some of you may know Tate is completely obsessed with trains right now especially Thomas and his friends. Ben bought the tickets awhile ago but never told Tate because he didn't want to hear, " When we going to see Thomas, Dad?" everyday. In fact he didn't even tell him at all. When he got to the E Center he kept saying look dad that kid has a Thomas shirt like me but it never clicked. They sat down waiting and finally figured it out when the show started and he heard Thomas's whistle. He then totally freaked out and was so excited. We weren't exactly sure if he would enjoy a show with singing and dancing but apparently its okay as long as there are trains in it. Those of you that don't know Tate all that well should know that Tate hates it when anyone sings. Ben said they had pretty good seats but I guess they weren't good enough for Tate because he kept trying to climb on top of Ben's head. So the outing was a success which I was so happy about cause Ben usually has such high expectations of how these things should go and he is usually let down. Maybe the kids are just getting old enough to appreciate them. Here are some pics. The first one Tate said that him and Ben needed to make silly faces which I think turned out pretty cute.

Kennedy's First Friend Party

So I am kind of making it a habit of posting birthdays two months after but at least I finally get to it right. We took 12 kids to the Classic Fun Center for the party. I know we're crazy and it was a little chaotic but I think they all loved it. I think I might cut the list down next time though. Luckily the grandparents came to help out so I just had a person guarding each play area and it worked really well. It was a little expensive but priceless in the fact that when we left we got to leave the mess behind. Here are some pics from party.
