M & M Terry

Dean started off the month of October sleeping a lot better than the month of September. Instead of 2-3 hour stretches, we got 4-5! He has now started acknowledging his name when you say it.  Mikal bought Dean a cute little red ball cap. It is so cute on him! I also got to put him in his little hunting outfits. I love me some red buffalo plaid!     We met my cousin Carmen and her family at the Middleton Fall Festival. It was fun to take Wesley and enjoy so time outside of the house! Dean played in the corn pit and had a blast feeling the corn and picking it up- we also went again later in the month with Joseph, Melissa, Oliver & Jane. I spent lots of time making/picking grapes to juice. Dean was very impatient at times and other times very patient with me! Dean went on a couple tractor rides in the sprayer with Dad. He loved it so much it put him to sleep. Mikal also went fishing a bunch and hunting as well. He ended up shooting a small buck. Dean is starting to...

 The final month of the crazy year to 2020.  Dean enjoyed the tree in the house! He kept going over and smelling the tree and touching the lights. He did pretty well at leaving the ornaments on the tree. I have the lights on a timer and every night when they would turn on, he would get so excited and run up to the tree and shout happiness!  We took a Sunday drive and stopped to see the beautiful snow on Badger Mountain. Mikal loves exploring the surrounding areas and especially looking for coyotes. We had a ward drive thru party and we (the Primary presidency) prepared a small bag for the primary kids. It turned out great and Dean even got to see Santa!  Dean points and "ahhhhs" every time we drive around and see Christmas lights.  I was able to find $150.00 round trip tickets to Idaho Falls out of Pasco. We decided that we would go for the new year instead of Christmas. Mikal took on Yakima's area for the month of December. The sales manager took off the month ...

 While we were in New York visiting the cousins, Dean found a love for the mega blocks. He learned how to stack them and since then, has started stacking everything! It is so fun to see him learn and be excited about those little moments in his life. He also decided that he was done eating in the high chair. We bought a small folding table and chairs a while back and that is now what we eat on as a family! He is doing very well at feeding himself and keeping most of the food on his plate instead of the ground.  Leaves have been changing and falling onto the ground. We have been raking leaves into piles and running through them! We still spend lots of time outside enjoy playing with Sage. We take our daily walks and Dean has also decided that the jogger is no longer fun and actually "walking" the dog is the best. We borrowed a dinosaur leash backpack from my sister Kira to test out if Dean would do okay with it. He LOVED it! Score!  Mikal noticed one day that there was a r...
