Teagan's Number Three

Teagan's birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year. I am still in awe that he is three. I think it is harder to think about when he had been born for 6 months by the time Hayden was this age. Craziness! He is still my baby.

Teagan is so much fun to have around. I couldn't be more grateful that my boys are different. They both offer such greatness to our family.

Teagan is chuck full of personality. I call him our little police officer, our alpha male. He is a rule enforcer even if he does not abide by the same rules.

Teagan is loud. He is opinionated. He knows what he wants and has enough determination and persuasion to always get what he is after.

Some of his hardest traits now, will be the ones I appreciate most when he is older.

He is smart as a whip and comprehends so much. He is never lacking for words and loves to tell stories. They usually include a bear, shark, wolf, or sloth.

He is a major Daddy and Papa's boy.

He is active and still loves sports. He played on his first soccer team this past fall. He is a sports fanatic and loves a good game. Although, his favorite thing now are halftime dancers :)

He is continually making us laugh. This kid has the greatest sense of humor.

He is a bit mischievous but he always has a way of justifying his actions.

He is very independent and can do most anything without help. He prefers it that way.

He is in love with his "green blankies." They are the same ones Hayden loved at this age.

He now has imaginary friend(s) named Dale n' Melon. Never quite sure if it is one person or two. We had the same dilemma with Gru n' Puap.

He is the worlds best eater still. very refreshing.

Good sleeper and still napping.

Super tall.

WE LOVE OUR TEAGS!


We decided to celebrate with his buddies before Thanksgiving arrived. We had a basketball themed party. Turned out adorable.

Teagan wears JUST the wife-beater when he is a "karate kid" or an athlete. It suits him well. We set up the basement as a mini basketball court and did some drills. They loved it.
We also played pin the number on the jersey.
Opening gifts from friends.
Birthday hugs.
Wonder what he wished for. Seriously, I do...
Eating up the deliciousness of a cake and some ice cream.
What a fun party!


Teagan's actual Birthday and Thanksgiving day, we gave him his very fancy birthday breakfast...

He loves "eggies." He also loves cinnamon rolls. The orange, he likes, but it was also to add some fruit to the meal. I do make an effort here and there :)
Me and my little dudes.
Me and the Birthday Boy


Inside at Thanksgiving dinner...
Have to apologize for some of the picture qualities. I am without editing software currently.
What would the Holidays be without an awkward family photo. Their unplanned "matchy matchy" outfits were just too good to pass up the opportunity.
Back to Birthday...
An electronic ATM for the toddler obsessed with money money money.
Another green blankie. Never can have enough with wash cycles and all. This still doesn't hold a candle to the originals. The originals are an olive green and just authentic I suppose :)
We gave him a bike. He has already has some good use out of it. He is a champ bike rider.
Oh how I love this boy!!!

Our Fall

This fall we managed to have a pretty good time with various activities.

First is the infamous pumpkin patch. Brian is the best Dad a kid could ask for. He is always making sure these boys are on some kind of adventure...


Next was our drive up the canyon to see the fall colors...


Brian's sister offered us Octoberfest tickets so that was our next stop...

Right in his element.
Teagan with his Aunt Pam This kid has no fear! He will try anything at least once.
The boys favorite part was designing their own rocket and launching them. It's obvious from Teagan's face in the below picture :)


Halloween started out with Hayden's school parade...

Hayden was very sweet to tote his brother along. Teagan is so proud when he can be involved with his big brothers activities.

We also did a little friend Halloween party at the Scott's house...
Not sure what had upset Cooper so much. I think he wanted a different costume.

Our boys dressed up as Hiccup from "How to Train a Dragon," and well, Teagan was a shark. Very fitting since him and his papa watch shark videos on youtube on a weekly basis. We did some trick or treating in our own neighborhood then ventured over to my parents for our annual chili and breadsticks meal and more trick or treating. It was a fun night for sure!
