Chocolate Lovers

 

So when Mommy and me were done making brownies, she let me have the spoon. Yum.

 Little did she know that spoon would also be passed to Teah.

A Tessa Funny

Here's a little conversation I had with Mommy on the way to soccer practice last Friday.

(Please read carefully. It was probably funnier in person but this is the best we can do.)

Tessa:   "Mommy, are you my couch?"

Mommy:    "Your couch? You mean your coach? Daddy's your coach?"

Tessa:   (Thinks a minute.) "Yeah. Daddy's my couch!"

Goose Egg

 Mommy originally took these pictures to show the big goosehead on Teah's forehead. Since she is still fairly new to crawling, she doesn't always remember to look up instead of down. So, while watching Tessa's soccer game, she crawled right into a metal pole. Instant huge black and blue goose egg. (Although you can't see it very well.) As you can tell by the pictures, there isn't much that can keep this girl from smiling!

Piggy Bank

Thanks Craig, Beka, and Addy for the paint your own piggy bank. As you can see I am enjoying it immensely!

Mountain Trip

 This past weekend we went up to the mountains with my friends Ava, Jaiden, and Addison. Here we all are piled up on Daddy in the cabin. (I know, kind of hard to see...sorry.)

 Gotta love the mountains in the fall.

 Here is a picture of the Stanley Hotel--the same hotel where they filmed The Shining.

 We also saw TONS of elk. They were just walking on the side of the road.

Soccer

 Unfortunately, Mommy wasn't able to get many pictures but I just joined a soccer team and Daddy is coaching!

Don't you just love three year olds with shin guards?

Enjoying Fall

What do you know...it finally happened!

Can't say she exactly makes it look easy but nonetheless....she's crawling!

Happy Halloween

 Making crafts at a Halloween party.

 Chatting with Elmo.

 As promised...a picture of Teah as the White Rabbit.

 Trick or Treating (Never mind the scary man behind us).

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving Time

Oooh...scary!!

Cute Pics

 Clap clap!

 Taking a picture of myself!

 Teah's scrunchy face.

Being a great big sister.

Paci Fairy

 I almost forgot to mention...the Paci Fairy! Mommy and I wrote a letter and gathered all of my pacis and put them in an envelope addressed to the Paci Fairy.

 I got one last goodbye to my paci before putting it in the envelope.

 We went to Daddy's basketball game and when we got back there was a gift!

 It even had fairy dust all over it!

The gift was a ladybug nightlight to shine stars on my ceiling and help me sleep at night (since that is when I used my paci).

***I am proud to say that it has been almost two weeks and I am officially paci free! The first week was a little rough but I was a trooper and now don't even seem to miss it. 

More Parties

 I'm definitely not the only one with a birthday around this time of year. Seems like just about everyone we know has had a birthday or soon will. Here I am at Jungle Quest for Cameron's birthday.

 I started out pretty brave but quickly changed my mind.

 Think I'll sit this one out.

 My best buddy Kyle wasn't scared though. Check him out in action.

 Here we are trying to decide what to do next.

 Such good buddies!

 Here was another party I got to go to for Joe. Pretty cool--we got to get on the Fun Bus!

Mommy didin't get very many pics but you can kind of see the inside. We got to dance and do all sorts of obstacle courses. Very fun!

More Birthday

Opening my gift from Grandma and Grandpa.

 Please disregard the eyes closed---I love it!

 So on my actual birthday, Daddy took off work and I got to spend a special day with Mommy, Daddy, and Teah. We went to Toys R Us and I got to pick out a special toy. Of course I got to ride in the Mickey car!

 And then we headed to Red Robin for my anual birthday sundae.

Yum!
