Tatumn is in the blue pants

Tatumn's New Hobby

Those of you who know Tatumn well now of her love of reading. She tells me things about people and about 10 mins later I realize I've never heard of this person and I find out it's someone out of her latest book. I my point in telling all this is her new hobby. About 8 months ago Tatumn read a book where one of the characters fenced. So she has begged since then to take Fencing Classes. I thought it was a something she would forget about. Well she has been so persistent that we finally found classes in Orem and signed her up. I thought she would hate it. Tatumn is a soft hearted girl and very much a drama queen. But she has love it!

TATUMN IS DOUBLE DIGITS

Tatumn's Birthday was on the 9th. She was so excited to turn 10. All day she kept telling everyone that she is now double digits. She wanted to go and eat at Olive Garden and then to Build A Bear. Olive Garden was quite an experince. Owen slid on the rolling chairs and fell to the floor, in the process taking my drink and spilling it in my lap. Then he faked sick and we spent 5 mins. in the bathroom until he decided that he felt good again. I got sick that night and spent the next 2days sick in bed. I had to miss going up north to her little party with the grandparents.
I was kinda sad to think she is so big that she is picking to eat at nice places instead of just the golden arches. This last year she has really started to grow up. She is turning into a great babysitter. She still loves to read, but we are now at the point that she doesn't think mom and dad are the smartest people in the world. Tatumn is turning into my best friend as we share books and shopping and music. Happy Birthday Baby!!! I love everything you are becoming and everything you already are!
