Little Artist

Oh my Gosh!! This little girl of ours is one determined little stinker Artist!! I don't even know how many times I have had to wash coloring of some sort off of her, the carpet, the walls or other areas of this apartment. I thought I was doing really well by making sure the markers or crayons were up high and out of reach. Oh NO!!! You see, I also have a little boy who loves to color but knows to use paper and not walls. Needless to say, when ever he'd get them down, Shae was quickly at his side to grab what she could and find the perfect place to make better by her art work!

I guess one good thing is, once she was done she'd come and tell me... at first it started out as "Oh wow mommy, see pretty" and after a few scrubbings and time outs it turned into "Uh Oh mommy, I naughty" But always a report told with an excited grin on her face to show off her beautiful work.

OH yes! she even colors on the side of our apartment with nothing other than Sidewalk Chalk!! :)

What an ambitious little artist we have :D

Lady Bug Hike

We had so much fun this summer, always trying to find something fun to do. Our ward has a playgroup with all sorts of fun activities. This one was right up Landon's alley. There are lots of parks around here and every month they do a Lady Bug Hike at a different park. You get to use a backpack that has all the tools you will need to help find cool things along the way.

Landon getting his face painted... ready for the fun to begin!

While on the walk... Hike, they would stop and show the kids places where bugs have made a home.

And of course encouraged them to dig and find some as well.

Landon had lots of fun. Lashae enjoyed the walk and seeing all the fun things but isn't one to get her hands dirty.... That's the difference between boys and girls for ya :)

They both had fun! Just in their own ways :D

Family Pictures part 1

First off, I just have to say how much I LOVE our family pictures! We had them done in July. I really wanted something fun and with the city in the background, more for a memory to look back on to remember this wonderful, exciting adventure.

The 4 of Us!

Summer FUN Family Pictures part 2

These are probably my very most favorite!

I Love the huge suckers and the super cute silliness of them.

I have always had a thing with feet.... more baby feet... but who doesn't love a family foot photo session? other than Lashae who would not put her feet in the water :D

Our Handsome Landon Man!

And.... Our Beautiful Lashae!!

Again, I am very happy with these super cute pictures! Becki Our photographer did AWESOME!! Thanks girl for putting up with us and all our silliness :)

Lando and his Posing

Landon has been on this big boy kick lately. He has decided he should be allowed to have his very own hair gel so he can fix his hair the way he likes it. ~ i guess the way i do it isn't good anymore~ So... I let him fix his own hair. He was SO excited that he did it just the way he likes it.... Flat in the front with spikes in the back ~with lots of gel~ He was so happy about doing it all by himself and how NICE it looked that he asked me to take some pictures of it.

After the first picture he had to see what it looked like...

Pleased with what he saw. He then ran back to the chair, Posed for another shot....

And another.....

And another!

We Love this Silly Handsome little BIG boy of ours :)

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 :)
