I am behind on blogging. I actually did write a blog a couple weeks ago, but never got the pictures and videos uploaded to go with it.
So I guess I will just move on and try and catch up on our more recent activities.
We had a warm October, which was nice. It enabled us to enjoy the outdoors just a little bit longer before the snow starts coming.
One night while Chad was at scouts, Bridger and I went to the school playground and I taught him how to swing on his belly. He loved it!
We finally washed our cars inside and out! Boy did he have fun splashing in the bucket of sudsy water.
We went to the store the other day and I gave him an El Fudge Cookie, and when we got there and I went to get him out this is the face I saw! Of course I didn't bring the diaper bag and had no wipes!
Chad took Bridger up to the Brighton cabin to check on some things - he had fun throwing rocks and playing.
He put this piece of plastic that belongs to one of his plates on his head - I think he was trying to be an angel! Despite the fact he has hit the terrible twos already!
My parents came to visit in October and we went to the zoo. Here we are riding the train and Bridger is taking in seeing all the animals.
Grandma and Grandpa took him on the carousel. He wasn't too sure about it.
We got this bike for Bridger for his Birthday early, since we wanted him to be able to use it before it got cold. It doesn't have pedals on it, it is supposed to teach him balance and he will be able to go straight to a bike with no training wheels. He rides it around the house scooting around. I hope he really gets the hang of it before we go to the beach for Thanksgiving.
We had our city cleanup, where we can pile our crap on the street and the city comes with a truck and picks it all up. One day on Chad's way home he saw this slide in one of our neighbors junk pile. He went and asked if he could take it and they said Yes and that they had gotten out of someone's junk pile 4 years ago. Total SCORE!!! Bridger LOVES to slide!!
We haven't really started potty training yet, since we have a couple trips planned in November and December, not to mention all the holidays. So we will get serious about it in January once life settles down. He wanted to try out his potty though. He is very aware of going potty now. Whenever he pees, poops or toots he says "I poop!" and then grabs his rear.
Happy Halloween. Bridger was so excited about going trick or treating. When he saw the kids out he was anxious to get out too. It was 65 degrees when the trick or treaters started. Chad took Bridger out, while I sat on the porch handing candy out.
This was our dinner for Halloween. Mashed Potato ghosts and bloody eyeball meatballs.
And a bloody jiggly jello hand. When I put this in front of Bridger and shook the plate a little, he just giggled and giggled when it shook.
Here is our pumpkin I quickly carved and got out just before the trick or treaters showed up. Time seemed to get away from me this year. Oh well, we still had fun!
We had a luncheon at the park, for Chad's sister's step son's missionary homecoming. Bridger loved playing in leaves with all his cousins.

We found this chair at DI (aka Goodwill for those California people). Bridger loved it so much he didn't want to get out of it. We will take it with us to the beach and cousin Leo will have somewhere to sit too.
For some reason Bridger loves playing in laundry baskets. He will climb in with his blanket and pillows and get cozy while watching Buzz or Gabba. Yes he has become addicted to TV. The second he wakes up it is - Remote? Gabba please? or Buzz? One can only handle so much Yo Gabba Gabba and Toy Story 1,2,and 3!!! We try and get him to watch other movies but as soon as it starts he says Gabba? or Buzz?
We finally got a new garage door. Our last one, was the original from when the house was built back in the 70's. It looks nice, and it so much quitier.

Whenever Bridger sees you take his picture, this is the face you get. It is his "cheese" face!
Bridger's new skills include taking off his jammies in the morning. Yesterday when I went in to get him up, he had his jammies off and was laying down in the crib with two of the toy bins on top of him. He is a total party animal. I guess I should move the changing table away from his crib. Thankfully he is still content in his crib and hasn't learned to climb out yet. If he can cause this much damage while still being in the crib - I would hate to see what he could do if he were out of the crib!
