First Big Snow

So, as Halloween was approaching, it was difficult to be in the "Halloween" mood/spirit... The week before, was had our first big snow. According to the news, we had about 26"... here at the house, I measured 17" on a table in the backyard! Keep in mind, it was only October!!!

Regardless of the timing, it was an absolutely beautiful snow and Tatum LOVED it!!! I could barely bring her inside! She's very excited about the snow, and still talks about it- even though it's all gone. She's ready to go sledding and skiing with Daddy! We are supposed to have a pretty snowy winter, so she'll definitely enjoy this winter!

Pumpkin Patch Time

Now, where is that perfect pumpkin???

Here it is, Daddy!!! I like this one!!!

Maybe this one, instead...

Tatum loved the Pumpkin Patch!!! She liked every pumpkin, even the ones that were killed by the snow storm from the last weekend!!!

Fall Fun

Here are a couple of videos for fun... (p.j. one)- Tatum woke up, put on her tennies and was out the door! Don't mind the 'droopy' bottom, she's in regular panties now, and most p.j.'s are made for diapers... I will add more videos as I can! :)

Matt ran a 5K this morning, and we were so proud of him!!! We went to catch him finish the race! Congratulations, Matt! Tatum was soooo proud of you!!! (I'm very proud of you, too!)

Seasons Changing

This past month has been a month of changes for us! The weather has been changing over to fall, colors have switched over from green to yellow/orange/red to now.... almost leafless trees, and this past weekend we 'enjoyed' our first snow and below freezing temps! (this next weekend it is supposed to be 70)... The fall is such beautiful time of year, and Tatum loves playing 'soccer ball' with the leaves, and really, just being outside.

We took a trip up to the mountains, to hopefully catch the end of the fall colors, but instead we found snow and snow flurries. Tatum helped us find the elk, and was (and did) going to tell the Daddy Elk that she peed in the 'big girl potty' and he is/was going to be so proud of her! LOL... We did find the elk and she did tell him... and he was sooo proud of her! :)

We have finished traveling, so it was finally time to start the potty training. Tatum wanted nothing to do with the potty, until my neighbor introduced us to "Bear in the Big Blue House"- Potty Time with Bear.... and after a few days of watching this, she was ready to be a big girl! She has been going in the potty for over a week now, and refused to wear a pull-up during nap time yesterday. (and did not have an accident) That has definitely been our big change and we are sooo proud of her!!!

Monday, I started watching a 6 week old little boy on Mondays and Tuesdays for about 4/5 hours. Holding him/feeding him really brings back memories! Changing him, however, did not bring back memories, especially when I was baptized by the fountain of pee! LOL.... It is amazing how little they are at that age! Although it is only two days a week, it is helping to prepare me to know how I want things set up before Baby Girl's arrival, and how to juggle a toddler and an infant.
