Yay for October!!

I love this time of year! A couple of weeks ago we were waiting at the bus stop & Cody said the same thing. He said I love how it's getting cooler (not really but hopefully soon!), it's going to be Halloween, putting fun decorations up & then it's Christmas. Then he said please mom can we help you decorate? I'm surprised I have not decorated yet, this is one of my favorite holiday!

I am sad about all my pictures I took in the last 2 weeks, I some how erased all my photos. My mom, Paige & I took Cody & Tatum to Disneyland for their birthdays. We also took Rhett & Chase along for the fun! So, as soon as I get some pictures from my mom I will hopefully post them. And, I will tell all about our very fun trip. We also had the going away party for the kiddos friends and those pictures were some that disappeared!

Paige, Emily & I have started to run in the mornings we are up to 4 1/2 miles. This might not seem like a big deal but we are not runners. In school I always walked the mile in p.e. It feels great to run and I still can't believe I'm enjoying it as much as I am.

Tatum is 7 today! I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is so special to me because she made me an Aunt! Love that girlie!!!! Happy birthday Tater Tot! I wish I had a cute picture of that beauty to post.

Memory Lane Monday

This is a picture of Cody kissing his cousin Tatum. When Cody & I lived with my parents we had a lot of quality time to spend with Tatum. Paige was still working at a salon in Scottsdale so we would get to watch her. Cody loved having her come over. After so much time together they acted more like brother and sister then cousins. I remember Cody would lay on the floor watching cartoons and Tatum would crawl over and smack his head and hurry off with a big grin! She loved when he gave her all his attention! They are still such great friends!

Christmas Parade!

Saturday night we went and got some Mexican food and then met up with Paige and Rex and friends to see Tatum. She has been dancing for awhile & I think this was her 3rd year being in the Chandler parade. She did so good but I was sad because I don't think she ever saw that we came to see her. The kids had so much fun! They loved that it was cold enough to put on winter clothes. I'm sure anyone who lives where it really gets cold is laughing at these pictures. I bundled everyone up & by the time we got to where everyone was I was HOT! I took some pictures of the the kiddos together but the red eye is so bad & I'm to lazy right now to fix it! So this is what you get for now!
