fun was had by all on the train ride. It was super comfortable for Eric. He could probably ride in it all day long.

Hammering nails and smashing corn kernals was a popular attraction. something about smashing things into oblivion makes children smile.

Liam was super excited for the barrel roll. I thought he would run and go crazy with it but instead he walked very methodically and thoughtfully. He always studies how things work.

The big hit was a sand box filled with corn. The kids spent most of their time there. Anna's little shoes poking out of their corn reminded m of The wizard of Oz. Ding dong the wicked witch is dead.

The boys went fishing while the girls chased bubbles. Liam got 4 bites but would yank the rod up in excitement and lose the fish. He was so frusterated.

Anna really wanted her face painted. She loves kitties and she held very still while recieving her feline face.

we finished off the day at the pumpkin patch. Liam chose our the squash wich would become our Jack-o-lanterns. We had fry bread with cinnimon butter to warm us up before going home.

All about Anna

Anna and her cousins were all born in succession one month apart from each other. She is the only girl and she is definately a girly girl.

Anna has been putting things on her head and feet since she was 9 months old. She is really into dress ups and you can pretty much find her like this 80% of the time.

Anna loves to play outside. She grunts and points at her coat then sticks her arm out for me to put it on. She motions for me to follow her and then grunts at the door while signing "more". Notice how many times Liam crosses infront of the camera by the way.

I call Anna my little goofball. She is so playful and just loves to be silly. She's a total tease and just wants to have fun all the time. here is is proof of said goofballery.

All about Liam

Liam is getting his 4 year old energy out at his new gymnastics classes. I couldn't help but put way too many video's of the class on for you so bare with me. THey start out doing a little cardio which Liam gets really into doing. Liam is the one with the blue shorts and white shirt with the red viking on it.

They play music during all of the activities and Liam likes to just let loose sometimes. Watch the end of the video for his awesome dance moves. Yes, that is how he dances.

Another video of Liam feeling the groove. He is absolutely in his element here.

After cardio is done they move to the obstacle course. Liam rocks the balance beam.

This is an example of how Liam likes to ignore his teachers and how this teacher rules for making him come back and listen. Also, he strikes an awesome break dancing pose.

At the end they come together to sing and stretch out. Liam loves to give me his goofy faces at this point and he is usually pretty worn out afterward which is fabulous for me.

All about Liam 2

Liam loves craft time at school and at home. He recently won his first Art contest and recieved two tickets to the Puyallup Fair. He is going to take his cousin Connor with the extra ticket. These are two of his latest works.

1st day of school

Liam did not want his picture taken so there are no smiles here. But I assure you he had a fabulous 1st day at his Pre-K peschool class. THis year he is in the jungle Room wich he goes to 3 day a week.

This is Liam's friend Grace. She's just one of the boys. Her Mom says she thinks she has a crush on Liam. He chases her and tries to Zap her.

This is Liam's best friend at school. They are inseperable in class and probably cause the most trouble as well.

Just bragging a little........

So, last weekend Eric and I went to Pax (Penny Arcade Expo). It's basically like E3 but it's more independant. Among staggering displays of all the new videogames coming out soon, people in costume, and more computer nerds, D an D kids, and tech goth than you could count was Bungie's booth. They chose the Map that Eric designed, built and textured to be the display for the booth. They had a few T.V.'s and let people play his map too. Eric and I got to stand around and listen like flies on the wall to the comments about the map. It was good fun. we saw the band Freezepop that night too. They were awesome. At one point they had everyone hold up anything tech that they had (camera's phones, etc.) and wave them in the dark. Dare I say it was actually kind of pretty. OUt with the lighters, in with Zune and ipods ( or whatever you have.) Anyway, I'm just so proud of my Husband. He's so positive, and thoughtful and hardworking and humble and so many other character traits that are hard to find in people.
