Tinkertoys

Tater got tinkertoys for his birthday and we had a blast playing with them. 

His favorite thing so far is the microphone we made.  He now walks around the house saying microphone, microphone.  So cute. 



We also made a skyride, like at an amusement park. 

What fun! 

Tater's Birthday (Part 2)

After all of the excitement of his new bike from Gramma and Papa, Nana arrived and it was time to open presents from her and Papa, a grill and items to go with it.  

(You can see the grill in the background of these pictures.  It came in about a million different pieces and took a while to put together.) 

Chocolate chip pancake time!

 Playing with his new tractor from Papa.

A piano (keyboard) from Mommy and Daddy.  We also gave him Tinkertoys, a new puzzle, and a basketball.

Race car track from Aunt Judy and Uncle Bobby.

New big boy train sheets from Aunt Trish and Uncle Tom.

A quilt for his big boy bed from Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Ed.

He also got an awesome Thomas book from Aunt Kathy and Uncle Phil.  He got some balloons and a gift card from Aunt Sue and Uncle Pat, who were at the party, but some how, happened to get by without getting their picture taken.  :) 

Cake time.  I made a gluten free cake and gave people the option of icing it or putting strawberries and whipped cream on top.  Yum, yum! 

And yes, I forgot to get candles, so we just used the Elmo candle that Dave had at his birthday. 

Happy 2nd Birthday, Sweet Tater.  We love you!

Happy Birthday Ryan

Dear Ryan Robertson Woolfolk,

Today, we celebrate your birthday and think about your life, a life that you no longer live here on earth, but rather in heaven with our Savior.  While we will never understand why you had to leave us when you did, we know and trust that God's plan is always better than our plan, that even though we would love for you to be with us, heaven is where you are and how awesome it must be. 

I have so many memories with you, memories of babysitting you on Easter mornings while your mom and dad went to the sunrise service,  eating lunch together on Sundays after church, putting on shows for our families at Memaw and Papa's house,  playing basketball in your basement, swimming in the pond, and more.  Those were fun times, times of being innocent and so free, times when life was easy and full of fun moments. 

Wish that we could get together and have a Ukrop's cake and celebrate your birthday.  We'd all fight over who would get the rose.  I guess we'd have to give it to you since it's your birthday.  :)

When I heard that it's supposed to storm here later today, I smiled.  I have a feeling that after the storm, we'll see a rainbow since rainbows always seem to remind us of you.  I think of you every time I see one, even when it's not your special day. 

Happy Birthday, special cousin! 

Love,
Jen

R Week

R week!

Tater's Nana got the kiddos these cute little aprons and we played restaurant for what seemed like forever. 

A red R!

Can you find the rabbit?

Rescue vehicles

Did you know that rhinos can climb stairs?

This rhino is super talented and can even use the potty.

Rectangles in our shape puzzles.

We practiced rolling the ball.

We also practiced doing rolls.  Tater needs no help in this area.  He excels in front rolls. 

We made R's out of rice krispies. 

Railroad pictures that we projected on the wall.

We learned what a robot is and then learned how to dance like one. 

We watched a rocket launch. 

Ring

We read nursery rhymes.

We painted reptiles.

We made roses while playing with playdough.

We taped ribbons to the drumsticks and danced with ribbons. 

Racing our race cars.
