crawling

Lana has been getting all over the place. She mostly just scoots backwards hence getting stuck in weird positions, but is making good progress in going forward now.

She does this by sticking to a strong work out routine!
Can you believe that she does it like its nothing. So to all of you working out here is a little encouragement. If she can you can!

I love how much the girls like to be with each other. They are best friends. We even tryed to put Emma in a different Nursury class and that didn't go over very well. They just love to with each other.

Girl Party

We like to have gilrly parties while Randall is at school in the evening! So a couple of nights we put curlers in everyone's hair. Emma and Maddy thought it was great.



As you can see Lana did not think it was so great. She didn't want her hair done.
Emma actually slept a whole night with them in. I was pretty impressed. Maddy was pulling them out soon after having them in. I don't think I would have slept in them either.

Long time no see!

Thought it would be good to catch everyone up to date some. Maddy always cheesing now that she know what the camera if for! She is quickly approaching 2yr old. Can you believe that? He vocab continually grow everyday. Words like Wranal=Randall, and "eat belly" while she point to her tummy and comes at you.
Randall is busy with work where he gets to see what good and bad admissions letters look like, school and keeping on the Deans list, being a GREAT dad, and AMAZING husband! I don't know how he does it all but he is truly great at it. The picture above is Randall as the Pope for a class project. He did a role play with Bob Marley! You can imagine how that would be!
Emma all ready for church, and what dress is with out high heals? She is in love with being a girl and pretending to be a mommy. Every where we go now she carries her baby elephant in her coat as if it were a child carrier. Just like we do with Lana. Today Maddy started to, with a baby bear.
Lana being a happy baby as usual! She love laughing and smiling. Lately as well she has taken to mimicking. If we cough she coughs the same tone and the same amount of times. Her favorite I think is screaming really loud, just like Emma and Maddy!
And just in case you were wondering why there is no picture of me, well I'm usually the one taking all the pictures. Don't worry I really do exists.Thou it is more like this...

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We went to Carlton Farms and visited their pumpkin patch. It was basically awesome!!! There were a bunch of other people from our ward who visited as well. It is located in Lake Stevens, sort of, which is like 30 mile away from us. We actually went here last year as well.

Here are some of the animals on the farm. I feel bad for this brown goat. He has a horrible under bite. Gwen said it looked painful.

This is the one pumpkin we bought. It was 25 cents. We actually didn't buy anything last year when we came, so this is an upgrade.

Maddy and I are playing tag in the corn that was grown with the pumpkins. If you look really closely you can see thousands of baby pumpkins scattered all over the ground. They look kind of like peas, and when you step on them they pop!

There was a long downhill walk from where we parked to where the pumpkins were located, so I offered to Gwen a rid in the wheelbarrow.

Emma's looking for a good pumpkin to snag.

This is the inside of a giant pipe that is set up as a slide for the kids. Maddy had a difficult time going down, so she pushed herself down with her hands. It was really cute.


Emma really didn't want to walk, so this was the solution!
