Lion King

I have been sitting here trying to gather the right words for our Lion King Adventure..... and am still in AW! So, I turned to Landon. I asked him, what he thought about the play? "It was AWESOME" I asked what he like the best? "Everything" Who was your favorite character? MOM, All of them! I loved it ALL!

Well, so there you have it! We really enjoyed this play. Stan saw it on his mission in London and when we heard it was going to be in Portland, We had to go!

This is the only picture I got. in respect of the actors, they ask you not take any pictures or video. So this is us in our seats getting ready for the show.

And these are a few picture's I got online. If you ever get a chance to go, I say do it! It was SO Amazing and worth Every Penny :)

Dino's at the Zoo

This was really fun to see. All the Dino's made noises and had stats on them, some where life size and some where 1/2 and so on... Oh and the best part, Some of the dinosaurs would spit water at you. Landon LOVED it and of course Lashae was happy as could be ONLY in the stroller, and stayed as far away from these freaky things as possible :)

Random Fun

Landon got to spend a few day and nights away from mom and dad; and spend them with Grandma and Grandpa C! He LOVED it!!! Stan did go still him back for a few hours one day to go do some bass fishing :)

Landon hadn't seen Lashae for a few days and they were BOTH So Happy to see each other!

OK, so Lashae really did miss him! she would wonder around Grandma G's house asking "where oh where's Land'n" ~she's just not very lovie~ and Landon is VERY Lovie!

She kept saying Hi Land'n Hi! Hi! and Fallowed him where ever he went :)

AND.....OH How We MISS Our Bounce House!!!

Gillett Family BBQ

We LOVE Family BBQ's! Nothing like getting all the cousins together and letting them play! It's nice to see and visit with everyone while we're in Idaho. Landon always gets so sad the first few days/weeks of being back in Oregon, he really misses his grandparents and cousins.

Lashae is doing better with the big groups of "strange" people. She's still a little unsure about everyone that she's not use to seeing. She did really really good this trip! her aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents were able to love on her more :) It really breaks my heart that she/we don't get to see them as much as we'd like.

Makes us really appreciate the time's we do get to see them!

Party in the Mountains

Ty got to celebrate his 2nd birthday camping and we drove up to spend the day with him. Ty and Shae had so much fun playing together. They loved going for rides in the waggon. And were so cute together in it as well. they played so good and laughed over silly little things.

Then Ty decided that Shae needed some "Loves" he leaned in for a kiss... while Shae pulled the what's going on face.... after one kiss, she was done and pushed him away.
~She's just not a very "kissy-huggy " girl, never really has been. She only wants loves when she wants them...Typical Girl Right~

I just LOVE the picture of Lashae's haha grin and Ty's pouty lip!

Landon enjoyed catching baby fish in a bottle and putting them in a bucket.
Lashae was fascinated with them and had to show everyone the "pish"

We had fun in the mountains with our family, the kids were FILTHY dirty ~of course~ BUT... who leaves the mountains Clean!? Good times, Good Good Times :)

City of Rocks

A perfect day for The City of Rocks

The kids really enjoyed climbing around the rocks. Landon and Kaydn explored all over the place. Lashae was very unsure of the uneven walking-ness and Macey was happy to fallow her wherever she felt comfortable going....which wasn't far. She would find a crater, sit then tap the spot next to her and say bum-bum; wait for you to sit next to her then... up to a new spot. Macey was a good sport and did just as Lashae said :)

Hanging out on the rocks

Landon, Kaydn, Macey, Lashae and Beethoven (the puppy) were so worn out, on the way back to Grandma and Grandpa Gillett's house they all fell asleep! Lashae had to have the puppy go Ni-Ni with her :)

Storybook Park

There are many adventures awaiting you at Storybook Park!
One of our first activities while visiting Idaho was having Taco Bandido ~Yumm~ and Playing at Storybook Park. Stan's parents took us and watched us play it up! There so many different things to play on; tractor, farm animals, swings, tight ropes, tunnels, fire mans pole, boat, slides, rocket... and a castle. And, I'm sure I left something out. It really is a neat place to play. And the Kids LOVE IT!!!
