Landon Pants!

Look whose walking...

...almost

He walks about 50% of the time, and the rest of the time he crawls. He is practicing a lot and will be a pro in no time!

It's my baby's first day of 1st grade! WOW! That is all I can say...WOW! It's going to to be quiet here for 7 hours with out Syd around. Her teachers names are (yes, she has 2) Ms. Miller and Ms. Brink and they seem really nice! I have had ONE excited girl for the past few weeks. I am glad school FINALLY started! Poor Wes is gonna be pretty bored. I am trying to find him a nice preschool to go to. We will see!

ALSO

Yesterday Carrie (Aaron's sister) and I turned 56 lbs of tomatoes into DELICIOUS salsa! I think we got around 44 jars (?) I have to say TONS of work but SOOO worth it! It turned out soo good! We have no pics of this but thought it was blog worthy! Lets not do it again for a long time OKAY Carrie!? How bout 2 years when we are all out!?

The New Crib...

Well some of it. I have had many requests to see pics, so here are 2! There was only one room that was put together enough to take pics of. The green couches, we just got last night and we LOVE them. We are really liking the space, the neighborhood, etc. You will all have to come to Lynnwood to see us if you want to see more of the inside, or just wait until my house is clean enough so I can take pics of the rest (don't hold your breath, this might NEVER happen!!)

Celebrating Independence!

We celebrated the 4th with Aaron's sister and family in the 'Burg! Her husband happened to be in charge of the town celebration including, mechanical bull riding, pie eating contest, face painting, hay stack lasso, stick horse ride, 3 enormous bounce houses, carnival games and of course fireworks. I don't know if the kids have ever had so much fun, I don't know if I have either!! Once again, thanks Carrie and Tyler for ALWAYS showing us a good time. Syd is stayin with them for the rest of the week! Thanks auntie C!!!

Kid Talk

Landon said, "Mom, when I am dad, I am really going to miss living with you! And when I am a grandpa, I will be wrinkly and dry."
I asked Colton why he was rubbing his eyes and he said, "tear water keeps coming out of them."
Aaron won a game on his phone and Colton says, "Dad, I'm so proud of you!"
While listening to song lyrics, "And so we'll catch the world on fire" Landon says: "Mom, why would someone want to do this?"
I was sing along with the radio when I hear, Wes say: Oh man, mom knows the words to this song, that means its a REALLY old song!"
Talking about Pirates of the Carribean wii game, Wes says: "Will Turner is really cool" Landon, in his BEST British accent: "You mean Will Turna?"
After boiling eggs, Wes asked if we were going to eat the scramboiled eggs.
Landon: Mom, your eyelashes are all dirty. Me: That is my make up. It's called mascara. Landon: Oh.
Landon: "Wes, my brain is telling me I want a lick of your popcicle."
Colton: Someping, puter=Play something on the computer
Landon: "Mom, I have a booger stuck in my teeth!"
Landon: "My nose has a headache."
Colton: Funnit=Funny
Colton: Ketchup=shup
Colton: Wuv you.
Landon: Gutair-it=Target
While at the library, Landon saw a bunch of Elders (missionaries)in their suits, on the computers (P day) and says "Wow, look at all those wedding guys!"
During FHE we were thinking of compliments to say to each other. Wes says to Sydnie "You are the best sister I could ever ask for."
While watching MoTab sing Christmas songs on Youtube, Wes says: "They are all wearing the same thing, they must shop at the same place."
Me: "Landon, don't play with that, it's expensive." Landon: What is "Spankive?"
At Costco Wes asks: "Mom, how do they get all the stuff up so high on the shelves?" Before I could say forklift, Landon says: "Spiderman probably does it."
Landon: Stuck together= Stucky gether.
Landon: Good job on putting my shoes on my feet mom!
I was peeling potatoes and Landon asked if I was making potato heads.
Landon singing: Rock-a-bye baby in the tree honk.
Me: "Landon, you are SO demanding!" Landon (in the saddest voice possible): "I am not demanding, I am just Lando."
Our neighbors have a little Chihuahua. They told the kids to stay away from it because it bites. Wes is very scared of it and calls it the "female biting chihuahua."
Wes leans over to me in Sacrament Meeting and says "I'm filled with the spirit!"
Sydnie to me: Ms. Vigil (her teacher) was out sick today with a stomach ache. Wes: "Maybe she needs to go poo." (can you tell that is what he hears a lot, from me?)
After Colton sneezed Landon said to him, "bless you, Tiny."
