Halloween 2014

Another favorite holiday of mine as come and gone. Another one where I did not dress up (super sad face) and I borrowed Turner's costume! I'll do anything to save money...and I will while Turner can't tell me what he wants to be for Halloween ;)

We also had something else in mind for our costumes this year but when the whether got super cold...it called for a costume change.

Turner has a Halloween party @ daycare on Friday. He was a dinosaur this year.

Look how cute they all look!!! Also...the pic on the top right, cracks me up!!

We had fun that evening. We started by taking Turner to a few houses on our block of the neighbors we knew.

This picture...it melts my heart!!!

Turner and a few of the neighbor kids!!!

Another successful Halloween holiday in the books. So excited for next year!!!

October Fall Fun - part 1

I can't believe this month is almost over...I hate seeing October end since it is my FAVORITE month!!!

We've had a lot of fun this month...so it's going in a 2 part post!

The first weekend of the month, Tate's family visited. There was also a clinic grand opening right by our house that we decided to go to. They had food, music, games, tours and FREE PUMPKINS!! It was fun and I am so glad we went!

Turner had his first apple and LOVED IT!!! I could not pry it away from his hands...I only got it when he dropped it and then he cried when I wouldn't give it back #toddlerproblems #itwasfullofdirt

(is it cool to hash tag while blogging...if not, who cares...my blog, my rules) ;)

Turner loved spending time with his Wisconsin family since he doesn't see them as often as we would all like. 

Coloring with his Grandma T.

The following weekend, we hit up the local farm...Country Sun Farm in Lake Elmo. We went there last year and had so much fun (even though Turner was only a few months old). I hope to make it a yearly tradition to go there. So much fun and so much for the little kiddos to do.

Turner had fun feeding the animals. His favorite were the goats.

Turner loved running around to all the different painted boards they had and seeing all the pumpkins. 

4 months and 16 months

I'm thinking if we go every year...I should make sure to get this photo!

I love him more and more every single day!!!!

Turner was obsessed with this scarecrow! We put in the 50 cents to make it dance and he loved it!!! He even danced along with it for a few seconds!

Making these amazing memories with Turner is so fun! My hear explodes with joy when I am with him and it smiles endlessly when I see Turner and Tate having the best relationship a father and son could have. I only pray that every day going forward is this good #nevergrowup ;)

Halloween 2013

I can't believe October has come and gone...best month is over and best holiday is now done!

I had so much fun this Halloween...even though it's been a lot different then years past. No party, no dressing up (I wanted to put couldn't find my cat costume..grrr), minimal trick or treaters cam this year...but the part that made it oh so much fun...was I got to dress Turner up and make Halloween special for him.

I dressed him up in Halloween attire during the week!

He was really excited to start wearing some Halloween gear!!!!

Sporting his glow in the dark onesie form his Auntie Hannah!!!
1 - "OK, I'm sitting still mom"
2 - "What do you want to do?
3 - "Really, another #halloweenwardrobe photo shoot?
4 - "Is this good mom?"

Could pumpkins on baby butts be any cuter?!?!

Our lil' pea pod ready to go trick or treating!!!!

He did perfect while visiting a few neighbors. Some got to meet him for the first time!!

I loved sharing my favorite holiday with my lil' man. I look forward to each and every Halloween I get to share with him and hope he falls in love with Halloween like I have!!!

Monster Dashin' & Pedal Pubbin'

I ran my first race post pregnancy this weekend.

A few fellow MN bloggers and I decide to sign up for the Monster Dash and I am so glad we did. We had loads of fun and I felt like my hips were going to break off all day after the race...but so worth it :)

Turner and Tate were there to support me!!!

My running partner...Andrea!!                                  We did it...good job ladies!!!

How costumes....we were the Minneapolis 'chain of lakes'! I don't have a picture of all 5 of us that were a part of that costume so you'll have to check out Jess, Syndal, or Lauren's blog to see that (if they do post about it). Andrea was loon lake!

This is what it looked like @ the finish line for the 5k...you couldn't even 'run' across which was annoying!!

After the race...Tate and I went home to relax before the fun festivities we had that evening.

My sister came up to babysit Turner while we headed out for a 30th birthday party that included a pedal pub. Tate and I had never been on one so we were excited to try it out. Despite the cold weather...it was super fun and we were actually pretty warm pedaling. Talk about workout while drinking!!!

Ready to go!!!

Fun with friends I hadn't seen in so long!!!

Dinner after @ Psycho Suzi's!!!!

Yes we are inappropriate and picking the Tiki's nose ;)

Sunday was a day spent meal planning for the week and getting the house in order. We also spent loads of family time just snuggling in bed and feeling incredibly blessed!!!
