Oh Christmas Tree

Every year Marco's has placed a small tree in Tony's room as his own to decorate. So this year we (mostly Marco because he went and purchased the new one) decided to setup a tree in each of the boys rooms as their own. We had a great time, and the small trees take much less time to setup, so they were fun and easy. Tony loved picking out his new Spiderman decorations at the dollar store (which can add up quickly), and Teagan just loves looking at all of the 'tee' (he is so cute when he says it in almost a whisper).

Canadian Cousins

Marco's aunt from Canada and her family came down for the Thanksgiving holiday and we were able to spend sometime together! We also were able to view a small band of super heroes courtesy of Tony's costumes.

Climbing Baby

Teagan is a little bit of a dare-devil. To be honest we think he may be the child that will give us the most scares. He doesn't seem to have fear just yet, which has worked to his advantage when it comes to learning to walking. He began crawling several months ago and began to walk on the 22 of November. Here he is crawling on everything, including his toys.

9 Month Stats

Teagan is now 9 whole months!

He is officially
28.2" tall (50% on the height scale)
19.75 lbs (only 40% on the weight scale, he has been sick for the last week)
18.8" head (still 95% on the fat head scale!)

This is compared to his 4 month check up
26" tall (75% on the size scale)
14.9 lbs (only 50% on the weight scale)
17" head (85% on the fat head scale)

Great Pumpkin Festival

We love the city we live in! Every holiday they always conduct some fun event that children can participate in and that they love. This years Great Pumpkin Festival was much like the last. They had simple carnival games to play (this is also a fund raiser for the local high schools cheerleading squad), hot dogs to eat, Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin Movie, and at the end a Pumpkin Seed hunt (think Easter Egg Hunt in the dark). Last year we weren't prepared, but this year we broke out the head lamp and looked like pro Pumpkin Seed Hunters (we will be starting our own show on Discovery Channel soon).

We were able to go with our neighbors and Tony had a great time because he had a buddy there to play with

Our little Ducky Teagan was there too!


And as always, the kids came out the winners with MORE Halloween Candy.

Our Cancun Trip

Recently Marco had to go to Cancun for work. I was able to tag along and enjoy our first trip to Cancun. The weather wasn't the best, in fact we think there were hurricane force winds, but Cancun is gorgeous even during a storm! Overall a beautiful trip, but we had our fair share of "events"!

This was the view from our room!

And these were the beaches

Pumpkin patch fun

For the last few years we've picked going to a pumpkin patch instead of just picking them up at the grocery store. So, this year we kept the tradition and were able to take Teagan for the first time. He loved the new experience and Tony loved being the big brother in the event. We picked up a pumpkin for each of the family members and carved them afterward.

Millcreek Canyon

Every year we love to go up Millcreek Canyon during the fall to snap pictures of our family and the foliage. Last year we got our family picture there, and it turned out amazing. This year we went a bit late, but it gave us great pics of the boys playing in the leaves.

We were also able to get some pictures of the colored leaves that were just stunning!

Los Muchachos

If you cannot see their shirts, they are wearing their Guatemala from Mami Chaguita! We love these photos because Teagan looks so grown up for some reason, enjoy.




And then some fun random pics of our two monkeys!
