I have to post about last weekend before this weekend comes or I'll be so behind and never blog about it at all!
So, we went to Grand Junction to party with the Tattons. Kate, Amanda and I had a tutu making party with the help of Heather and Jared. I love making these tutus because this is something that even I can't mess up!!







All you do is cut strips of tulle 6 " wide and between 30"-53" long depending on how long you want the tutu. You can really cut them as long as you want, like I said you can't mess this up! Fold the strips in half and tie them around an elastic band in a single knot. This give you four pieces of tulle thick. Then add ribbon bling and whatever you want!! I love It!







Then we had a Halloween party! It was packed full of games fun and Flinstones!!
Jared's dad asked a friend and his brother to be Barney...they both said no and then both showed up and Barney!! It was funny! Tate won best costume, Tyler won scariest and Jared won funniest costume and most of the games! Go Jared! Heather and Tate are going to be mad that I put a picture of them on here so to make it better I put one of me also. I would never admit what Jared and I were because, well, you can see. But I'll do it for Heather! :) I hope you enjoy the pictures!!

Weekend Fun

This is what we did this weekend...
Went to Wee Witches with Elisa and the kids. Tatum wasn't to sure about taking pic with the witches, but she and Bub sure like dancing to the music!
We took a short but fun Hay Ride with a silly Witch.
Bought Tater a new car seat that she absolutely loves!
Cleaned and vacuumed, this is Tatum's favorite part.
Did some laundry.
Visited Great Papa Young and Stumblelina.
Watched Mark paint Great Papa's house. He did such a good job.
I made a cool tutu for Madison's Halloween Costume at Gardner Village and Tatum loves it. She got upset when Sarah went to take it home so we got one I had bought her out of the closet and she had to wear it all day long! She also loves the pumpkin raddle slippers Grandma Heather bought her. Where the other one went, I don't know!

Today is the Tater's first birthday!


I can't belive it has been a year already. Here are some things that have happened this year.


1. Tatum was born on a rainy day at 1:15 p.m. She weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces and 21 inches long. She broke her cauller bone on the way out and had to have it wrapped to her side for a few weeks. She is the strongest baby ever!!


2. Our pumkin unfortantlly got RSV at 2 months old. Luckly we caught it early so she only had to hang out under the humidifer and spend 2 nights in the hospital. It was sad to see her with IV's in her arms all taped up. Once again she is the strongest baby ever!


3. She was a Denver Bronco's Cheerlearder for her first Halloween. (she's a pink bunny this year)


4. First Christmas was in Grand Junction where she has already rode in a limo. (spoild baby)


5. She began crawling a six months and walking at 10 months thanks to Bub for showing her how.


6. She loves kids and loves her cousins. I hope she loves her baby brother or sister just as much.


7. She is fearless and is always bumping into things.


8. Tatum blows kisses, waves "bye bye" and shakes her head "no". She also likes to pretend to give you things and then quickly takes her hand away.


9. She likes to be bounced, twirled, wiggled, tossed and dragged around. (like I say she is fearless)


10. She is a great baby and loves waking her daddy up in the morning and waiting for him in the window when he comes home for work.



Happy Birthday Tatum Marie!
