He Drew the pictures ALL by himself,

Told me what they were and then Signed his Name!

I must say.... He did a Pretty Good Job!

Birthday Party x3

A Few Friends and I put together a little Birthday Party for our 3 Little ones turning the Big 1!

They each have December Birthdays within a week of each other. It was so Fun watching each one as the were trying to decide what to do with the cake in front of them.

Once they figured it out, it got really FUN!

It was nice to celebrate with Friends!

Lashae Doesn't turn 1 until the 17th! Then, she'll get to do this all over again with Family!!

Oh I am So not Ready for my BABY to be 1!

ZOO Lights

During the Christmas Season, the Oregon Zoo puts up 1,000's upon 1,000's of Christmas Lights! ~really I'd like to know just how many~ Anywho... At Night fall, they re-open the Zoo for a ALL to come and enjoy the Beauty! and YES! it was AWESOME! Cold and Packed... But well worth it! it normally takes us 35 min to get into the Zoo, that includes driving, parking, unloading and entering the Zoo. Well On this Journey, it took us over 2 hours just to enter the Zoo! The Roads were Packed...as was the parking. We had to go to the overflow parking and Wait for a Shuttle Buss to take us to the Zoo; then had to Stand in an Extremely LONG line to get in! Once we FINALLY made it in! Landon and Lashae were BOTH mesmerized by all the Lights! It was By FAR the COOLEST display of Christmas Light I have EVER seen! They also have a Train to take you all over the grounds to get a better Look See of the lights. But... That line was FOREVER long as well. Needless to say, we avoided the train! and took ourselves where ever our little Man wanted to go! Here are Lots of Pictures! Enjoy :)

Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

This Year we are So on top of things! (Other than it's taken me This long to post this) ahem, as I was saying.... We put our Christmas Tree and Decorations up the weekend of Thanksgiving. We usually wait for a weekend in December but we decided to put it up and enjoy it for a few weeks before we head to Idaho for the HOLIDAYS!! Stan and Landon did most of the Tree decorating, I handed them the stuff to put on and Landon decided where things needed to go, with some help form Daddy. Lashae, was VERY interested in what was going on, she would walk over to Stan and turn her cute little head to get a better look at him, and then at the tree.

Landon Decorating

The 3 by of the Tree!

This is just to CUTE! She will walk up to the tree, admire the Balls, and other decorations, shake her head NO NO and wont touch them.

But the LIGHTS! How can you not touch? They are SO Pretty!

and... the Finished Project

We Just ABSOLUTELY LOVE this time of year, and the meaning of it all!

We are also so very EXCITED to be able to go home for Christmas!

I Want Some TOO

Landon was eating a sucker and Lashae waited ever so Patiently for a taste.

She would make a little Aww AWW sound every so often, Then..... Landon gave in.

And She was HOOKED!!!
