Our TV star

Last Saturday we went to the Boise holiday parade for the first time. It was so fun and Ben loved it! We settled in right in front of the library, and eventually noticed we were right in the path of the channel 7 cameras. I of course am ALL about getting on TV, and called my mom pronto to tell her to watch for us. Sure enough within minutes she called to tell us that we had all made it on and that there were close-ups of both Ben and Hailee. So of course right when we got home I proceeded to Tivo the whole parade and will probably save it forever. :) There was literally like a one minute spot of just Ben, they happened to zoom in on him just as a float full of teen beauty queens were cruising by and he was clapping and waving, it was pretty dang cute. If I could figure out how to get it off the Tivo and onto here I would, but these pictures will have to do for now!!

Here we go!

Okay the training potty has arrived in the mail. Not that we're going to do much more than look at it, not until after the new baby comes anyway. But one day Ben actually wanted to sit on the toilet, and every time he takes a #2 goes in the other room to do it and then immediately wants his diaper changed, so I figured we'd at least get a potty. He doesn't think it to be much more than a toy right now, and likes to step in it more than sit on it, but we'll take baby steps!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween was SO much fun for us this year! We pretty much just trick or treated at the granparents' houses and a couple close neighbors, but he thought it was pretty cool to just hold out his little bucket and be given candy! He was also pretty into his bat costume and looked really adorable in it. We've really been enjoying the fall and had a fun trip to the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa last week.

Punkin' Patchin'

Ben and I went with Kari, Hailee, and our parents to Linder Farms. WOW we had sooo much fun, and I just love love love what awesome little buddies Hailee and Ben are. He worships the ground she walks on, and she's such a great "big sis" to him. We went on the hay ride, checked out the petting zoo (Ben "talked" to the sheep and goats for about 20 minutes, we had to peel him away), and picked out some awesome pumpkins to take home as souveneirs. It was a blast and something we'll never forget. Unfortunately Mike is out of town and we missed him. But, we got some darling pictures!!

A home...at last!

Well our house is all but done, we will close sometime next week and start moving the hundreds of boxes, and then make the big move with all the furniture Saturday morning. Words can't possibly describe my excitement! Ben already loves the house, runs around and giggles like a crazy man...he's going to love all the space. We have blinds and the fence coming in a week or two, otherwise we're set! Can't wait to have you all over!! Here are a few pictures, you can see more at: http://hagman.shutterfly.com/
