Halloween!!

Once again, I've been slacking in keeping up my blog.  The amount of posts I need to put up seems so daunting, I put it off even more.  But, here's to being proactive and putting off the procrastinator in me.

This Halloween Baby Teddy got to go to two parties, one in Idaho and one here in McKinnon.  The first one we went to was my mom's ward party the Saturday before Halloween.  It was fun to see some of my Idaho pals and catch up with the family.

I had a hard time finding a costume for Ted that was his size, so I ended up making his M&M costume.  It's not the best looking outfit, but was perfect for what we made it for.  I loved it, but Ted wasn't the biggest fan.  I think it was because he got too warm in it.

Then, on Halloween night, we went to our ward Trunk-or-Treat party.  We decorated the trunk like a cemetary and had a chili dinner inside. 


By the end of the night, Zach wanted some candy so he went trunk-or-treating to a few cars for Baby Teddy.  I'm sure they all knew who it was really for, lol.

Zach was a bum and didn't want to dress up...

I dressed up as a nurse, gloves and all. :)


Overall, it was a fun couple of nights, and we can't wait until next year!

2 Months

Stetzen had his two month check-up and shots on Halloween.  He weighed 10 lbs 12 oz and was 22 inches long.  He endured his first shots pretty well.  He only cried for a couple of minutes and was over the whole ordeal.  For his two month picture, I decided to take one of him in his Halloween Costume!

Picture Shy


I thought this was a cute pic.  After all the pictures that I take of poor Teddy, he'd finally had it.  He hid from us for all but two of his ultrasound pictures and now this one, lol.

First Horse Ride

This past weekend, we took Stetzen and his uncle Brands up hunting.  It was his first hunting trip and he quite enjoyed it.  On the last day up there, Zach insisited that we get a picture of the two of them on Fred.  I was not a fan of the idea, but relented and let him have his picture.  Sadly, this is the only one I got of the whole trip, but it's a good one.

Dad, Stetzen, and Fred at Horsecreek

I don't know if you can see him, but we saw a cute little badger while we were driving around the fields on Monday.  He's right in the middle.

Boppie

To the makers of Boppie...

All I have to say is THANK YOU!!  I would give millions to the creator(s) of Boppie!!  It's a life saver, and Stetzen's favorite place to chill and relax while I try to get something done around the house.  Last night we were chilling in the living room before bed, and he fell asleep in it and slept from 9:00pm -3:00am.  If you don't want to do the math, that's 6 hours of sleep, the most he's ever slept at night.  Sadly, the moment I woke up and took him to his bed, he woke up and only slept for a few hours at a time, like he ususally does, but the 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep was appreciated and much needed!  So again, thank you Boppie for making life a little easier!
