Though he is playing for the Yankees this year...don't know how we feel about that around here! It's so fun to watch him play, and nice that he's playing for the Red Rock League (easier and closer), though we do miss his old D-Backs team. He is about ready to turn 7 (2 more weeks!), and has another loose tooth! He's raking in the dough from the Tooth Fairy! He is still into Star Wars, but his latest passion is Indiana Jones (thank you cousin Ethan!)-he plays the Lego version all the time (computer/Wii versions and real Lego's) as he and Adam go around the house singing the theme song. Noah is such a great kid-don't know how we got so lucky! I'll post more about him (pictures and such) for his birthday!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl2hlfTjAPfCFu_akCfXjsq5J__iO_gphr97jGYfpFsqCU5Lwv-HhC2epmfpuWQwAbfoQ9OPEpEWwz-dWJBVYTecDQlLmfXJZBQnOZ5Wkg6pXlaaqQfZXJkNpMrLkREwggbeocatZ1vHw/s1600/CIMG5907.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465669445728035394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl2hlfTjAPfCFu_akCfXjsq5J__iO_gphr97jGYfpFsqCU5Lwv-HhC2epmfpuWQwAbfoQ9OPEpEWwz-dWJBVYTecDQlLmfXJZBQnOZ5Wkg6pXlaaqQfZXJkNpMrLkREwggbeocatZ1vHw/s320/CIMG5907.JPG" /></a> Elsie is doing so well in preschool now! She's a huge helper around the house, especially when I am feeding or taking care of Bennett-she's always willing to go grab whatever I need. She has become quite the little chatter box, and will talk about anything just to talk! It can get pretty funny, what she comes up with, just so she's talking! She often carries around a phone, just so she can have "somebody" to talk to! She also has a definite opinion these days on what she wants to wear, how to do her hair, even which earrings she will wear that day. So, in other words, she is ALL GIRL!! I am so excited, because in a couple weeks, she and I get to go to the Carrie Underwood concert! She often borrows the kitchen radio, so she can sing and dance to Carrie in her room without being spied on (or so she thinks-I often find things I need to do so I can pass her room...) She is laughing a lot these days, and it's one of the sweetest sounds in the world.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKPs-3PSVdhDsKj8MDQqzXtIEMZ0es94Qt9GnELrDMuSCMQEHIYY3T7CDU2c7pGEBhjN7IOZy_r9mYLUjUGy6OatG1OIheFZycLhrPT7CS09_PVp0j8I_m4_U0_9gS9Rqw7_cyY_wkqSs/s1600/CIMG5814.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465669249275830418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKPs-3PSVdhDsKj8MDQqzXtIEMZ0es94Qt9GnELrDMuSCMQEHIYY3T7CDU2c7pGEBhjN7IOZy_r9mYLUjUGy6OatG1OIheFZycLhrPT7CS09_PVp0j8I_m4_U0_9gS9Rqw7_cyY_wkqSs/s320/CIMG5814.JPG" /></a> Adam is the funniest two year old we have ever had! He has his "terrible 2" moments, but they don't last long, and then he's laughing again about something else. He sings the Indiana Jones theme almost non-stop, and loves playing with his Lego's (Indy is his favorite, but the "stom toopers" are a close second-that's storm troopers:) He is learning the ins and outs of computers, and soon will probably know more than me, though he is only 2 1/2. He can play computer games already and loves to do it by himself (like most 2 yr. olds!). He can identify most letters of the alphabet (not of my doing!) because he has this awesome little "laptop" with some fun games that I showed him how to play, and now he only wants to play while lounging on the floor and won't let me help. And, after lots of battles (won and lost) over his binky, it met with an unfortunate accident today-my scissors!! I finally took the advice of those who have gone before me in the Binky Wars, and cut the tip off. Wish I'd done it sooner-I showed him it was broken, he said "awwwww, how come?" and that was it. I'm sure he'll have some withdrawal over the next few days, but seriously, it was time!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGvERP5qH5ctCJow_Nz78CZdFUFqdbe1JqeAoGqbBZovB-yE8Xlg3ChVTTWW6W-N4Xj6apxEK0JRj7cEFM08vTaee_Lb9XSzDGzechCh1T7WajKpqnp79_2Ut-9x2-Vdwe2AL15VRPXRk/s1600/CIMG6016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465669008751360482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGvERP5qH5ctCJow_Nz78CZdFUFqdbe1JqeAoGqbBZovB-yE8Xlg3ChVTTWW6W-N4Xj6apxEK0JRj7cEFM08vTaee_Lb9XSzDGzechCh1T7WajKpqnp79_2Ut-9x2-Vdwe2AL15VRPXRk/s320/CIMG6016.JPG" /></a> Bennett is growing like only a 3 month old can! He's so animated now and talks and coos and smiles at us all the time! He doesn't like being left along, though-he needs to be in the loop! This picture is only a month old, but he's already changed so much (couldn't find my camera for an updated pic!). He still sleeps a bunch during the day, but is giving me a much needed reprieve at night and will often sleep for a 5 hour stretch-yeah! He is constantly moving his arms and legs when he's awake, so I'm a little nervous for when he becomes mobile! He is even "playing" with some little "lovies" that we give him (little stuffed animals), and smiles when he has them. He's very sweet and his little personality is already such a part of our family.<br /><br /><div><div>Brad has a new calling in our ward, now that it's split-he is the Young Men's 1st counselor! He is going to be even busier now! He only has one more week of classes for this semester, then one more semester in the Fall, and then he graduates with his Master's in December! He can't wait! He's staying busy with end of the school year stuff and in a couple weeks he gets to take 24 8th graders to Disneyland! Pretty bummed he's going without us, but can't exactly say I'm envious!</div><div> </div><div>I have new calling in our ward also, though still in primary-I'm the 2nd counselor now, so look out Cub Scouts! I'm very excited though to get to know the scouting program, since I have 3 boys! I also am the new PTO secretary for our school-don't know exactly what I've gotten myself into! Should be interesting! I will have help with it though, so that'll be good. Other than that, I'm just staying busy taking Noah and kids to baseball, and having about 3 nights a week without Brad. Learning lots about patience! </div><div> </div><div>Well, that's all for now-I'll post some more recent pictures once I find out camera!!</div></div></div></div></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-37930100435427267582010-03-12T12:30:00.001-08:002010-03-12T13:10:47.876-08:00Happy (WAY late) Birthday, Elsie!!<div align="center">Happy 5th Birthday Elsie!

I don't know how many people come on here, but for those who do, I want to share my testimony that I know that Heavenly Father has been answering our prayers and that He is completely watching over us. I don't know why we've been blessed with such amazing people in our lives-you are all incredible. I do know that we have always been watched over our entire married lives in every way, but there are times (like this last week) when we have a monsoon of blessings poored out on us. I'm overwhelmed by the goodness and kindness of others, and hope that some day we can pay it forward to someone else who needs it!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-88432220604224260082009-11-01T17:25:00.000-08:002009-11-01T17:26:59.562-08:00Another Scentsy Giveaway!My sister-in-law Maren is having another Scentsy giveaway-this time with 3 winners!

For the last few years, we've gone with the Smith side of the family that live in Tucson-we always have lots of fun with cousins and Grandma & Grandpa and Aunts & Uncles. The pumpkins were A LOT more expensive this year, so we only got one (Noah got to give the go-ahead, since Elsie would be going to Buckelew Farms for preschool), and it's little but cute. The kids had fun playing in the Apple Orchard, playing in the corn "bucket" (we were still finding hidden pieces a few days later), and riding the tractor to the patch.

Ever since I was a little girl, Fall was my favorite season (with Halloween as my favorite holiday-it is now a close 2nd after Christmas :) I just love everything about it. Last year, I had a hard time getting into the holidays, but this year, I am very excited! The kids are older and can understand/enjoy them a little better, and that makes me more ready for the seasons to change. Anyway, just thought I'd share a little, and even though in Tucson the weather doesn't exactly change like other places I've lived, this time of year still makes me happy :)<br />P.S. The picture above is of Elsie and Noah with a few of their cousins, running to pick out a pumpkin-every year we go with the Smith's to the pumpkin patch-another of my favorite (and hopefully the kids') traditions!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-77113262071853795642009-08-15T14:59:00.001-07:002009-08-15T15:28:49.515-07:00First Day of School<div align="center">Now that things have somewhat settled down, I thought I'd post a few pictures from the first day of school. Brad is still teaching Middle School Social Studies (our school is K-8), Noah started 1st grade, and Elsie started half-day preschool (also at Red Rock). Noah was pretty nervous for the first day, but ended up doing great (we knew he would!). Elsie was very excited to go to school-she even gets to ride the bus! Plus, I think she enjoyed the attention she got since she cut 10 inches off her hair! And Adam enjoyed some alone time with mommy (though he does occasionally take a nap while both kids are gone, and when that happens, I do too!). I always miss the kids while they're gone, but I love seeing them gain confidence and learn new things. 2 weeks down, 41 more to go!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVtflpkeWUG_V6_Xuab7ZkvMY8ELZfJRdZwgHbJQ-4WZTLKYLlPc54HinwmLeOIG-rwApeAIeWyjEcG3K8Outonl1jMQ2scMd90_RO1SMY_3Gbt_QW0j3mf0QfMLj2D9VR0MBErSFuorI/s1600-h/CIMG5366.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370316083718731186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVtflpkeWUG_V6_Xuab7ZkvMY8ELZfJRdZwgHbJQ-4WZTLKYLlPc54HinwmLeOIG-rwApeAIeWyjEcG3K8Outonl1jMQ2scMd90_RO1SMY_3Gbt_QW0j3mf0QfMLj2D9VR0MBErSFuorI/s320/CIMG5366.JPG" /></a> Getting ready to head out the door</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxdvvbG_4fn8h7KCvTzgEPCaCB6JjGAoV60PaAX1oMnJ3ca7-wnGyq9AZEi2n0xERXwdCMFy6vV9Pz88d7mEwVG3cgqk41PDBf2CDJ-xfnaW_YydSNFupyUaoMnbkWcvU_ikFkfBNQZ6M/s1600-h/CIMG5369.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370315926264393794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxdvvbG_4fn8h7KCvTzgEPCaCB6JjGAoV60PaAX1oMnJ3ca7-wnGyq9AZEi2n0xERXwdCMFy6vV9Pz88d7mEwVG3cgqk41PDBf2CDJ-xfnaW_YydSNFupyUaoMnbkWcvU_ikFkfBNQZ6M/s320/CIMG5369.JPG" /></a> Noah in front of his classroom<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAEghP4GIttoyoG7F3cNmwmlduHwjTS3It4JD2KZ78UqXqRv9AD711d6lWE8aDmZnrFhbBP7Z2zgyi9epyeWsRiTED_JsM1FkEG9UazLYKpuPxJ0flqhqzMabmgn9E2LGTQeouNBSNBZs/s1600-h/CIMG5370.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370315917837125442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAEghP4GIttoyoG7F3cNmwmlduHwjTS3It4JD2KZ78UqXqRv9AD711d6lWE8aDmZnrFhbBP7Z2zgyi9epyeWsRiTED_JsM1FkEG9UazLYKpuPxJ0flqhqzMabmgn9E2LGTQeouNBSNBZs/s320/CIMG5370.JPG" /></a> Noah at his first desk (in Kinder they worked at tables)<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtbdz0sp_CBw122YE3CcCVivV43jZtPEJszSYXZo3eQdVgP7PTD6Q503hwGLpTDz3FOS4RU4Y5itUY6ONRwuxGoP0hDg38dYkXqJ3Av_uZKO05XDsesDBsYNdO5SgL02kX1gSva-QgqLg/s1600-h/CIMG5372.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370315904117505890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtbdz0sp_CBw122YE3CcCVivV43jZtPEJszSYXZo3eQdVgP7PTD6Q503hwGLpTDz3FOS4RU4Y5itUY6ONRwuxGoP0hDg38dYkXqJ3Av_uZKO05XDsesDBsYNdO5SgL02kX1gSva-QgqLg/s320/CIMG5372.JPG" /></a> Elsie heading into afternoon preschool<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK6qToIYb8PAM-3WMItLo9yXRcN32qDak76lYWkHQABwmXU-UBbr1Vnx8WTVTjc3NansERFT2OVmRTKqS4A8F87c84yhdshfh5BqLc38Wns_4wyABiSg7GweJtnX2mAucw42Nc4M7VCJE/s1600-h/CIMG5373.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370315894452803810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK6qToIYb8PAM-3WMItLo9yXRcN32qDak76lYWkHQABwmXU-UBbr1Vnx8WTVTjc3NansERFT2OVmRTKqS4A8F87c84yhdshfh5BqLc38Wns_4wyABiSg7GweJtnX2mAucw42Nc4M7VCJE/s320/CIMG5373.JPG" /></a> Hanging up her backpack-not an exciting picture, but I thought the back of her hair looked great that day :)<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Ti9hIVEg71Ku_AEOBRGa1lckvemEg8x3hYyMksoZnOIPz2oJq7dQVTLLAwArKDVqZX6BESUCXPkfXusM5dvDjSlyG97tbI87TxvGHLzbdWOxG9Yx-PlB_vhHB6PSCcC9k3jJm7wrORE/s1600-h/CIMG5375.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370315884748642978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2Ti9hIVEg71Ku_AEOBRGa1lckvemEg8x3hYyMksoZnOIPz2oJq7dQVTLLAwArKDVqZX6BESUCXPkfXusM5dvDjSlyG97tbI87TxvGHLzbdWOxG9Yx-PlB_vhHB6PSCcC9k3jJm7wrORE/s320/CIMG5375.JPG" /></a>This has nothing to do with the first day of school, but we thought Adam needed some recognition (we were out of swim diapers, so we used a pull-up-they hold a LOT more!) </div></div></div><br /></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-30965873415640387752009-07-26T08:31:00.001-07:002009-07-26T08:48:17.995-07:00Noah and Elsie<div align="center">Here are the latest pictures of Noah and Elsie (Noah's 6 year and Elsie's 4 year). My sister in law Eloise (who's awesome, by the way) took these pictures the other day for us-no more JC Penny's-yeah!! She took the "real" ones, and my brother Cody took a bunch of candid shots (we don't have those yet). Her photography blog is on our list of family and friends to the right-check it out, she does some awesome stuff and she's just getting started! Thanks Cody and Eloise!</div><div align="center">P.S. Adam saw Noah posing at one point and wanted to be just like brother, so he posed all on his own!

We are back from our trip and have a few pics to share! Actually, we have about 500 pics, but thought we'd just share a few :) We started out the trip pretty eventful, after leaving ON TIME, we ended up in North Phoenix for 8 hours while awaiting a new radiator-yeah! Luckily, our friends the Maddox's and Tryk's rescued us and we were able to hang out at the Tryk's house for most of that time-a great impromptu visit, and we were very greatful for them! After getting our new radiator, we were on our way! <br /> Until we hit a HUGE traffic jam on our way to Flagstaff-what should've taken about an hour and a half ended up taking 3-argh! The kids were awesome (especially my neice Abby, who was a lot of fun for the kids to have around). We ended up staying in Kanab, at the Shiloh Inn-we were a little nervous, but it ended up being very nice, and we all got a great break (I mean, our room had a telephone in the bathroom, can you get any nicer than that?). On Sunday, we went to Gunnison, Ut, which is about 20 min. away from Manti, where my brother Jeremy and his family live-cute little town, and we had a nice visit-wished we could've stayed longer as we don't get to see them very often! <br /> On Monday, we left for Soda Springs, but wanted to stop in Salt Lake City to walk around Temple Square, as the kids have never been there. Just after passing Provo, we are chugging along on the freeway and our tire explodes! We thought something fell out from under the hood, like our engine, so we pulled over (to the right, because there was no where else to go)-so Brad can get out and take a look. At this point, we are barely off the shoulder, and the kids are freaking out. Brad gets back in the car and proceeds to call USAA (bless them) to get roadside assistance and possibly police there with cones, so I lean into the back of the car and tell the kids we need to say a special prayer to protect us-they are all for that. Not 5 minutes after the prayer, a man stops his truck behind us and sets up cones-turns out he works for a auto company, and told Brad that it was just the shell of the tire that had exploded and he can drive behind us to the tire place (which, again we were blessed, as when Brad asked if there was a Discount Tire anywhere, since we still had a warranty, the man said-yeah at the next exit)-so he led us to Discount Tire, where they told us it would only be a 45 minute wait, and lo and behold, there's an Arctic Circle across the street, with a playground! Let's just say that whenever something did go wrong, we were so incredibly blessed, that it was hard not to just laugh at the situation (though, after awhile, I started feeling not so great, and we were all tired). But, eventually we had a nice visit in SLC, then made our way to Soda Springs.<br /> We had a great visit with Great Grandma Larsen, and were welcomed by everyone the whole week. We got to see Uncle Gary and Aunt Jan (and their whole clan), and we got to go to Lava Hot Springs (awesome), have an amazing 4th of July with a fun parade, carnival, and even the day before the kids got to play in the foam sprayed by the Fire Dept.! We also got to see Uncle Craig and Aunt Savina (and cousin Brett on the way home, getting some awesome Kurus), went to church with Grandma to the nursing home to see Harry, and just played and played the whole week. Needless to say, we were exhausted by Monday and decided to head home, just in case something else happened on our return trip-turns out, Heavenly Father thought we'd had enough "fun" on the way up, and our trip home was about 5 hours shorter (drive time/time spent in the car) then on the way up (even with staying at my brother's house again Mon. night-thanks Jer and Janner!!). <br /> We are so grateful to Great Grandma for letting us stay with her for so long, and for everyone else who helped us out on this trip-we will forever be thankful, and are so glad we were able to have a fun vacation!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-31806213881826458192009-06-10T12:44:00.000-07:002009-06-10T12:46:28.639-07:00See newest widget -->Does that seem like an awfully long time to anyone else?Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-67906311958440546662009-06-03T15:31:00.001-07:002009-06-03T15:52:03.589-07:00Happy Birthday (Late!)

Noah's birthday was on Mother's Day and it has been a crazy last few weeks-but better late than never! Noah is now a big, bad 6 year old, a Kindergarten graduate, loser of 2 teeth, and an awesome oldest brother! We love Noah so much, and are so glad he is part of our family. He just finished his first season of T-Ball (loved it, was awesome, though a few times almost took out the coach...) and is having an "adjustment" being home all day now that school is out. I would have posted a baby picture too, but all of those were pre-digital camera, so these were some of the funnest ones I could come up with-especially for all the people who think that Noah is shy! Happy Birthday to Noah!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-75971773536831760392009-04-27T20:59:00.000-07:002009-04-27T21:10:53.452-07:00Mom & Son Jock Hop<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDt0-AE4frK4lIld4H-zN-WMeUjtq0wBCYEqeobOPHEnCwz0bc_XA57LZApSacoIJ4W5oyR7_TXGl2swCW0zg9ercftcMBimBiK71GbdjHwO3ngvmf6QHQdEPC-7DIgBT3Ppm_UUWk474/s1600-h/100_2944.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329589659985469794" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDt0-AE4frK4lIld4H-zN-WMeUjtq0wBCYEqeobOPHEnCwz0bc_XA57LZApSacoIJ4W5oyR7_TXGl2swCW0zg9ercftcMBimBiK71GbdjHwO3ngvmf6QHQdEPC-7DIgBT3Ppm_UUWk474/s320/100_2944.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJonXVjcaLiKvWVXvVO-F_UjpSaDtj6y0bufcdMqpsPr6n1pMrpuLjh-S36fa0ofiE5gZEXHYbU9CZtRobgBcVCzbPPewIxYpBlIw82lT_imWy6H66HD6xu1IQ7NBXI4EkfHO2Kcjyxnw/s1600-h/100_2941.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329589421694839330" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJonXVjcaLiKvWVXvVO-F_UjpSaDtj6y0bufcdMqpsPr6n1pMrpuLjh-S36fa0ofiE5gZEXHYbU9CZtRobgBcVCzbPPewIxYpBlIw82lT_imWy6H66HD6xu1IQ7NBXI4EkfHO2Kcjyxnw/s320/100_2941.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglb8cekHj-bY9gvdKfkaLWMYk-lm6VnJKuolLyHwQ5kQTks5UlYXhjt5TKCPfuSOyQ1Q2fiml0S2AOUVpPbBJZ3oayvUCk9s-medlLVpfiYDJtM_8gC9GWIis1N7DENZlA3_MYpMEq310/s1600-h/100_2946.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329589105104500050" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglb8cekHj-bY9gvdKfkaLWMYk-lm6VnJKuolLyHwQ5kQTks5UlYXhjt5TKCPfuSOyQ1Q2fiml0S2AOUVpPbBJZ3oayvUCk9s-medlLVpfiYDJtM_8gC9GWIis1N7DENZlA3_MYpMEq310/s320/100_2946.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbTYE8zXBxwrA1ZP-wQC_6ffsbTehRtxQaLOme9F4a9mhmWfsgWvdIQyBltLlkYF6klOkdM0FGPJAdeLJxrJi7BVFYS5ba9tbESiE9_clcQv0HtqngzUGkJPn4bS_GtCn7vt5Zev_mf2s/s1600-h/100_2945.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329588975668090178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbTYE8zXBxwrA1ZP-wQC_6ffsbTehRtxQaLOme9F4a9mhmWfsgWvdIQyBltLlkYF6klOkdM0FGPJAdeLJxrJi7BVFYS5ba9tbESiE9_clcQv0HtqngzUGkJPn4bS_GtCn7vt5Zev_mf2s/s320/100_2945.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwaEXclOkUYDVNItLfga0ADZjSmZZYfQnmaZVrOoZcZJ2XXuYjOIqq_5jghGIeNPrgS8odl_1u9EbXfBu_BA34chZrPRfMrpU_swBRdNFSAL6Ctv5yey6oxeRvcwgUijfja9UqTS7_zQ/s1600-h/100_2939.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329588770896630738" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwaEXclOkUYDVNItLfga0ADZjSmZZYfQnmaZVrOoZcZJ2XXuYjOIqq_5jghGIeNPrgS8odl_1u9EbXfBu_BA34chZrPRfMrpU_swBRdNFSAL6Ctv5yey6oxeRvcwgUijfja9UqTS7_zQ/s320/100_2939.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3mjFpZCUghdm3xn9rJHUmBBDlGF8u463eMrcHGiGqUoPIwbc9nqA6uC5aQJEsgC5q-AsNbEM3nn6ILjRBq1tHxOGfvowpAszDHlWWnr9STm47Bisb7VLZWY46h9lrCiZSBcbEsppjr5c/s1600-h/100_2937.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329588477565450642" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3mjFpZCUghdm3xn9rJHUmBBDlGF8u463eMrcHGiGqUoPIwbc9nqA6uC5aQJEsgC5q-AsNbEM3nn6ILjRBq1tHxOGfvowpAszDHlWWnr9STm47Bisb7VLZWY46h9lrCiZSBcbEsppjr5c/s320/100_2937.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p>This is Brad, and it's my turn to reciprocate with a post about parent/child outings. Lindsey and Noah went to Red Rock’s “Mom & Jock Sock Hop.” Noah had a great time shooting hoops, hula-hooping and even won the “hot potato” game that had $1 in quarters and bubble gum inside the ball. He came home exhausted but with a big smile on his face. I didn’t spend an hour on his hair, like Lindsey did with Elsie’s hair when we went to our dance, but Noah did not mind. Enjoy the pictures.</p></div></div></div></div></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-90657764893854928042009-04-20T12:57:00.000-07:002009-04-20T13:08:14.357-07:00Backyard-Before<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixf_YK8mZ-TSE2BDMWjEtfwdb8Rqr4_-bzaJeY4HXIL0YBm5ll9E_Q0N6N4UNIbztQq5H6b3QtycMFskqRp1Q-_SYmusZg26SHKcgTlzANgot5UIV3B9DyEZfpdTJbEDBJbO-wDCz-W1w/s1600-h/100_2879.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326865863703901538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixf_YK8mZ-TSE2BDMWjEtfwdb8Rqr4_-bzaJeY4HXIL0YBm5ll9E_Q0N6N4UNIbztQq5H6b3QtycMFskqRp1Q-_SYmusZg26SHKcgTlzANgot5UIV3B9DyEZfpdTJbEDBJbO-wDCz-W1w/s320/100_2879.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg0mN3xv4EmI0XfiOIDAVH_UPci72adyhnZZLPMx3vsauAsemhvO8djVc25gxPTzx13Q-EST6p4qZTHFCxmm_X66M_tmnNOmQDdFtOgCSeKJjSRL_1BFdWWQaIMdKuuymRyvpOdjAgJeQ/s1600-h/100_2870.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326865853090244210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg0mN3xv4EmI0XfiOIDAVH_UPci72adyhnZZLPMx3vsauAsemhvO8djVc25gxPTzx13Q-EST6p4qZTHFCxmm_X66M_tmnNOmQDdFtOgCSeKJjSRL_1BFdWWQaIMdKuuymRyvpOdjAgJeQ/s320/100_2870.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy_EE7xVpAhAzoKhhFD7N0yROhPIFpVzuU4dhKKxoX39u6FP5jxoFAyJvTkyN1_m5keYCJ-1Xywo8Wh6GxAi9V0kBJ60WM1x6XmK7EyTu4zwwkowBawPC33YJShYTdR2bO9A8obGJ-hFs/s1600-h/100_2868.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326865850097526546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy_EE7xVpAhAzoKhhFD7N0yROhPIFpVzuU4dhKKxoX39u6FP5jxoFAyJvTkyN1_m5keYCJ-1Xywo8Wh6GxAi9V0kBJ60WM1x6XmK7EyTu4zwwkowBawPC33YJShYTdR2bO9A8obGJ-hFs/s320/100_2868.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCU2GTY0HBWhCiszB2W2hAT65EKA-Wpld18jxgCDlAdSkUNFhDVVN2j-7KSzH-9H3og3VrS2eRMWgp2MjMpgQr4DNqpVkeSDM-GeoycktkJyW1Im5dhjBZGAexZtfytdvh5lHrDAectJc/s1600-h/100_2867.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326865846150454338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCU2GTY0HBWhCiszB2W2hAT65EKA-Wpld18jxgCDlAdSkUNFhDVVN2j-7KSzH-9H3og3VrS2eRMWgp2MjMpgQr4DNqpVkeSDM-GeoycktkJyW1Im5dhjBZGAexZtfytdvh5lHrDAectJc/s320/100_2867.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLQoi13rNIALnFCm_GY5CSPudiwORai5MidlXNpKkU1gn8KCQY3XWalyppO2WGqhI_JU4SGluLxLHgeNrHFkXQXWaJb1cRTj_dcfJ2L14DVZ4-JKzLJoLvsaABKnR4KY9DrVN0qGliOw/s1600-h/100_2865.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326865839546388242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLQoi13rNIALnFCm_GY5CSPudiwORai5MidlXNpKkU1gn8KCQY3XWalyppO2WGqhI_JU4SGluLxLHgeNrHFkXQXWaJb1cRTj_dcfJ2L14DVZ4-JKzLJoLvsaABKnR4KY9DrVN0qGliOw/s320/100_2865.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />It's funny how you look at a space and think-"hey, this isn't that big, it won't take that much work/time/money/etc. to landscape..."

Elsie, Adam, and I enjoyed a morning in our kiddie pool and running in the grass-a very nice, layed back morning-it was great!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-9091799583830322742009-03-15T09:27:00.000-07:002009-03-15T09:31:33.456-07:00Daddy Daughter Dance<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUzSSZNXScaXBLQmaWr5T3SBMyv7LW_0qqAvvSWAF4w_Li9QWpXON8tuQ5vxLhsTNpnIze80-eazER1oeWPArAN88eWOwCBefRyzwfgh5sCsYJHrjYlo9pUm6SuZlj6Hq-9IslMjx4Tg/s1600-h/100_2850.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313452536803507506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUzSSZNXScaXBLQmaWr5T3SBMyv7LW_0qqAvvSWAF4w_Li9QWpXON8tuQ5vxLhsTNpnIze80-eazER1oeWPArAN88eWOwCBefRyzwfgh5sCsYJHrjYlo9pUm6SuZlj6Hq-9IslMjx4Tg/s320/100_2850.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOpB4tHCw5B5hG0uFs8z49Ulr4R5tAGvt6HUs0iWO7bMq6RKxoxDaU-9ur9qM4RgRCadxOy7a775E1dku-ezNIi7jK5ImlmdWBSKHlELWcaFLdhE4SuHbVjdPZoIxiF_U1tv4SMJa-EWs/s1600-h/100_2851.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313452522288457522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOpB4tHCw5B5hG0uFs8z49Ulr4R5tAGvt6HUs0iWO7bMq6RKxoxDaU-9ur9qM4RgRCadxOy7a775E1dku-ezNIi7jK5ImlmdWBSKHlELWcaFLdhE4SuHbVjdPZoIxiF_U1tv4SMJa-EWs/s320/100_2851.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil6zBF-rGXVIZoXcVTsdcYAJdBrQ9801_SbYNciVYUa8di21RmnOwYiF5iJtBZsaUDrP9fKcv5zKcbAXsthOl-azZE7Hu3C2vLiJNV3ocZV8HPE8x5Nh-heY1WhJcPJHm4ufb7aE6Dsso/s1600-h/100_2853.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313452516748780802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil6zBF-rGXVIZoXcVTsdcYAJdBrQ9801_SbYNciVYUa8di21RmnOwYiF5iJtBZsaUDrP9fKcv5zKcbAXsthOl-azZE7Hu3C2vLiJNV3ocZV8HPE8x5Nh-heY1WhJcPJHm4ufb7aE6Dsso/s320/100_2853.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkRoiNfimMnsm0f8BFflQBkyslpb06ZooV1w-fITvAallqHH-etFPj_TOvb5P5LuxIMtnHZeH9VDppLWP_fs1D2fkkCmC_WwKE98VALQSZSDXm7VSFQ0m57__qGUMB6mZ3lxdl6KLUVkY/s1600-h/100_2856.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313452512546072002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkRoiNfimMnsm0f8BFflQBkyslpb06ZooV1w-fITvAallqHH-etFPj_TOvb5P5LuxIMtnHZeH9VDppLWP_fs1D2fkkCmC_WwKE98VALQSZSDXm7VSFQ0m57__qGUMB6mZ3lxdl6KLUVkY/s320/100_2856.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ8ZnKiRyjh5AiahFlBeNw8rLL33lBos16JN_jfm0sOxnU5vrZ4y1ivVqLyPhwT30WOYDCPd8Xbgix_sRVHNvcaI_OvgF1oeB6vO5EUMOwgvJTvz5g72fVeASVKnqRBzFD3CnjljNHBl8/s1600-h/100_2854.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313452505281077938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ8ZnKiRyjh5AiahFlBeNw8rLL33lBos16JN_jfm0sOxnU5vrZ4y1ivVqLyPhwT30WOYDCPd8Xbgix_sRVHNvcaI_OvgF1oeB6vO5EUMOwgvJTvz5g72fVeASVKnqRBzFD3CnjljNHBl8/s320/100_2854.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Daddy Daughter Dance at our school was the other night, and since Brad is a teacher there, he was able to take Elsie! He's taken her to the dance every year since he started teaching, so Elsie has gone every year since she was 1-and she loves it! They had a great time this year, and Elsie came home so happy. She was very excited to tell me that she now knows how to "hula hoo" (hula hoop) and that one of Brad's students gave her some lip gloss. We had a good time getting ready (though, pressed as I was for time, I forgot to get the camera out-dang!) by listening to High School Musical 3 (thanks Aunt JanaKaye!) and giving Elsie a big hand-held mirror...she was very patient! After the dance, and getting on her jammies, and talking a mile-a-minute, she looked up at me with a huge smile and said "and momma, I'm so tired!!"-that's why we love our Elsie.<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-30903882662285310652009-02-28T09:03:00.000-08:002009-02-28T09:15:44.608-08:00Zoo Fun<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaPYIoDeNvlhOXdXmD2QFP3KAaZ3QvmcZ7hJIXfK6TTtSw1eMcXxUcxIY8olbmoPR8E6M87YhqnTGNdvdcWAZBsuQO39eGzH_9QcA_ChQ3-SfvHYWpJwM7K7kiLBkLKOVAMhjE8nDWNuk/s1600-h/100_2787.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307897888759428210" style="DISPLAY: block;

I love the Tucson Zoo, because it's not very big and you can get through the whole thing in a couple of hours. We got to feed the Giraffe, pet snakes, and see all of the new things that have been added to the zoo in the last 2 years. After the zoo, we went to a nearby park to eat lunch and play, then we went to visit Grandma Rasmussen at the Institute for an hour or so-the kids were in heaven! They all fell asleep on the way home, then were completely wound up when we got home (thanks Grandma and the missionary couple at the Institute for the ice cream, suckers, and licorice-oy). We then planted our little box garden (wish us luck-we'll post pics later if it's successful!), and crashed! It was a very full and fun day.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-52555266964951963352009-02-28T08:52:00.000-08:002009-02-28T09:02:02.209-08:00One Down...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS8X5Y_SKF2J4dEe1U7PRhISsPcRGWzFwGOiyFyxV8HSmR75kT1n6G0r7omkeQX138LY_axRoKQZ5a_RJUv-HKStR-qtjYFD3QeimsGGe-RfbNKo087BDLJIjrPA1YUiw92VuxzKGu5x4/s1600-h/100_2784.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307894226940460482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS8X5Y_SKF2J4dEe1U7PRhISsPcRGWzFwGOiyFyxV8HSmR75kT1n6G0r7omkeQX138LY_axRoKQZ5a_RJUv-HKStR-qtjYFD3QeimsGGe-RfbNKo087BDLJIjrPA1YUiw92VuxzKGu5x4/s320/100_2784.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn4ozvR6B69JD3O7UCuxJ6eJwXHmKuy0SNcPPLHymn1LELZ2QDHvBQlIxwBar0No1MCp5Gt0-1Y_yRQLGJiDtcilR0HbElwdj_XghAlJtCuiXCnJyqeSO6PF3PPIUloh46RpdGqyZRuwQ/s1600-h/100_2785.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307894223273952754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn4ozvR6B69JD3O7UCuxJ6eJwXHmKuy0SNcPPLHymn1LELZ2QDHvBQlIxwBar0No1MCp5Gt0-1Y_yRQLGJiDtcilR0HbElwdj_XghAlJtCuiXCnJyqeSO6PF3PPIUloh46RpdGqyZRuwQ/s320/100_2785.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbatHkFoMVt1-wEQlPBRX8Tyrw0JNdJTmssUfR5FnjQEetgpeH6EIUA5peJ0yn_TabNBLsnFarmGKVJ_iw6Mtf24iia2JENEty-t2kjDchCV57kBDetO7GmEil5fwNF2yocTSv3FTWSk/s1600-h/100_2786.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307894221289456610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbatHkFoMVt1-wEQlPBRX8Tyrw0JNdJTmssUfR5FnjQEetgpeH6EIUA5peJ0yn_TabNBLsnFarmGKVJ_iw6Mtf24iia2JENEty-t2kjDchCV57kBDetO7GmEil5fwNF2yocTSv3FTWSk/s320/100_2786.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Noah has finally lost his first tooth! It'd been loose for a couple of weeks, but he just wouldn't wiggle it. I got one good wiggle in the other night though, and after the initial shock, Noah was able to pull it out on his own-you'd think as a boy, he would have been more gung-ho about getting that thing out, but apparantly he thought we were asking him to cut off his arm, not pull out a tooth! The Tooth Fairy came, though Noah wasn't sure she would if we didn't all go to bed as soon as possible-he kept asking me if I was very, very tired :) Way to go Noah!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868202216237355051.post-72864719832691268132009-02-18T19:02:00.000-08:002009-02-19T11:35:35.603-08:00Thomas the Tank Engine's Newest Model<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUYAOBrfY6YpnMP_khGMeUVnhJ4W5jxRfMw0ecI3gTDUSbG1Uz-ydUnIo1wfiKBwwGc0U0jx08sLH3EcM5opYxQonUEDvheeBVbeStJT_JJoCCmZ0ww_BP5SQMwTeAcseP8yODpzBZB9U/s1600-h/100_2747.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304339165932688242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUYAOBrfY6YpnMP_khGMeUVnhJ4W5jxRfMw0ecI3gTDUSbG1Uz-ydUnIo1wfiKBwwGc0U0jx08sLH3EcM5opYxQonUEDvheeBVbeStJT_JJoCCmZ0ww_BP5SQMwTeAcseP8yODpzBZB9U/s320/100_2747.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpJpWQsuGXEJKo30QmQANt0zgDxVNnL0Vt2KloeXpjIbbv7JxLdhpp4rhKD0yra75tKojPo_oLpiIsOD7yfpP1DLv2CzKr9GVyXcysVgsxdiQjjiIcs0tERpDTnV9jc430qgefSL9Ky7g/s1600-h/100_2743.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304339157129475026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpJpWQsuGXEJKo30QmQANt0zgDxVNnL0Vt2KloeXpjIbbv7JxLdhpp4rhKD0yra75tKojPo_oLpiIsOD7yfpP1DLv2CzKr9GVyXcysVgsxdiQjjiIcs0tERpDTnV9jc430qgefSL9Ky7g/s320/100_2743.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Adam has discovered Thomas the Tank Engine, and is now just a little bit obsessed... </div><div>He loves watching the show and got very excited when he found this Thomas belt (I added the hat).

Today is Elsie's 4th birthday! We celebrated by having a birthday breakfast for her (Brad has class tonight) where she enjoyed a candle in a cinnamon roll, and opening her presents from the family. High School Musical 2 Barbies and movie were among the faves. We love Elsie so much, and though sometimes she acts like she's turning 16 instead of 4, we don't know where we would be without her! Here are a few pics of Elsie's year-enjoy!</span></div></div></div></div></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08005864698334646243noreply@blogger.com3
