Play Date

We had our first play date today with Hayden. He just turned 1 on June 29th. (we celebrated his birthday with him) Tatum and Hayden played together inside for a while, then we headed outside. Tatum was not a big fan of the sand box OR the baby pool! UH OH! I don't know if the USA Olympic Aquatic Center is on her radar in her future.... dad will have to do some coaching on that one! :)

Later we went for a walk around the lake in Evergreen and into the woods where we were on the lookout for Mountain Lions... didn't see any though :( Here are a couple of pictures from our day.. enjoy!

Tatum didn't want to stay awake for the walk, I suppose...

Colorado Springs

We set on Sunday to visit Colorado Springs... no real plan in place, but we thought we would go check it out. We went to see "Garden of the Gods"- beautiful Red Rock formations, drove around them, and headed into the city. We then took Tatum on her first (of many) visit to the Olympic Training Center... little did she know at the time, that she will be training there soon! ;)

Trip to the Aquarium...

So, Miss Tatum absolutely loves fish. We have the computer set to the aquarium setting for the screen saver and she points at the computer and says 'ish' and sometimes 'fish'. Matt and I decided to take Tatum on a little trip to the Denver Aquarium. She absolutely loved the fish there, and was just checking everything out like crazy! The pictures didn't turn out too well, but they work!

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Tatum's latest fun is cruising from the front door, to the back door, to the front door, to the back door... and so on.... with the assistance of a little push car. This is definitely her favorite. When she 'crashes', she turns to mom or dad for assistance in turning the car. She can do this all day long! I will record this and upload it soon...

The Fourth of July began with us going to a neighborhood parade, where we found out that we were the parade... so we walked with the neighborhood families with a fire engine leading the way around the neighborhood. We ended at the park where the fire engine turned on the water hose and we ran! :) Tatum was not a fan of getting wet!

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Later, we headed to a neighbor's for a cookout and then headed to see fireworks... here's Tatum at the beginning of her first fireworks...

Then she woke up and really enjoyed the fireworks. She was extremely tired, but she kept pointing at the fireworks.

A couple of weeks ago, Tatum grabbed the stroller and started walking... enjoy!
