Seth helping Daddy play the guitar. We might have a future musician on our hands.

Morning Sunshine!

YUM! Red Robin has good spaghetti. But beware of Robin.... he walks around the tables greeting the kids, but Seth was freaked out by him!


Enjoying one of the last hot days.

Loving on Daddy. Some days he freely gives kisses in abundance, other days he gets mischevious and we have to beg for them!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Halloween. We went downtown with Seth's Maama and cousins. He had a lot of fun learning how to go door to door and get candy. Even though he had no idea what he was getting it was fun for him. After that we went to the fair grounds. They hold a harvest carnival each year. This time we went with Nana and GrandDad. He had fun with the games and rides and the petting zoo. Oh and he was The Man with The Yellow Hat....


Playing with Aunt Carina. He just loves his Aunts and Uncles and enjoys playing with them.
Playing on the kitchen floor with mommy. He just learned how to use the push toy. Push down the pilot and away it goes!!

Whoa, where did it go?

So suddenly I found myself in November! Where did that time go? October flew by way too fast.

Things are pretty much the same here. We still have our house on the market, only as of tomorrow we are signing a lease to rent it out. The market has been terrible and we have decided to just hang on to it and wait and see how the market does next year. With the election right around the corner, we are very uncertain of what might happen.

Seth has been amazing! He learns in leaps and bounds. It actually really surprises me, even though I see it in him time and time again. He is also very funny, posing for pictures, teasing us on purpose with things, just overall being silly.
His favorite thing right now is books. He sits and reads by himself and he also brings us books to read to him. He can now name things to us if we point to them and he points to things he wants to know the names of.
Seth has also really been enjoying cars and trucks. Making VRRROOMMMMing sounds and driving them over the couches.

Pictures to come!

For Krystal's birthday we went up to Portland and stayed the weekend.

One of the days we went to a splash park and the kids had a blast! Of course my little water baby couldnt get enough of it. I think he would have stayed the whole day if it hadnt been a tad chilly.... so much for summer weather...





The other day we went to the zoo. It was Seth's first time and he LOVED it. I think it was soo much fun to watch his reaction and see how much it excited him. The only way to tear him away from an exhibit was to tell him that we were going to the next one!

Seth was a little scared of the T-Rex....

We had a lot of fun in the park with Nana, Granddad, Mike, Krystal, Tesla, and Peyton. We were doing a belated Father's Day/ Happy birthday to granddad celebration. I think we all had a blast.

Seth helping me pack.... and unpack.... and repack... and mispack.... oh the joys of moving with a toddler!!

The summer has gone by too fast!

And we have been having fun!

We moved into the new house at the end of June... the hottest day of the year in fact...
We are all settled in and all that really needs to be done is to have shelving put up in the garage so that the spare room can be emptied of all of the random storage stuff. The driveway and landscaping is still in need but that wont happen till the Elmwood house sells (long story, sore point, dont ask)

Seth is sooo big and is constantly amazing us with the stuff he is learning and what he picks up all on his own. He now says Atticus and loves to feed him. He puts his toys and shoes and clothes away like a big boy. He loves to get wet and swim and take baths (we may have a future swimmer).

We went to the zoo a couple weeks ago and Seth LOVED that. He was sooo excited for every exhibit. Sadly there were no big cats and not very many monkeys. We will have to go back when they are back in the zoo.

We also went to the fair and he was in love with all the rides. There werent many to go on because he was too little but he loved it anyways and cried anytime we tried to take him off of the rides.

This last weekend we went to the beach (Seth's first time) and he didnt quite know what to think about it. He loved the water but I think the sand was a bit overwhelming. He kept trying to run to the waves so we had to be on our toes the whole time. It was a blast though.

I am going to try and get tons of pictures up this weekend :)
