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.

Camping on Whidbey Island

We went camping last weekend and here we are at the beach. Can I just say that Eric is So Fine. And Liam is pretty cute too.

The bridge in the back ground was gorgeous to drive over.
















Cousin Matt and I did the baby sitting on the beach.

We went on an Elton family hike and let Liam lead the way. I have never crawled through so much greenery before but it was a blast.

Of course Liam needed a Growling picture and a silly pose picture.

Anna loved the camping trip! She never complained and slept well. She practiced her newly found skill of walking and played in the dirt ( ate the dirt is more like it).

The kids had so much fun playing night games. They were lost in the world of gnomes and ogres and fairies and they pretty much didn't stop running the entire time. ( no joke)

We went on a beautiful hike and Liam was a little trooper.

Part of the hike went onto the beach. Liam and Cousin Tori went for a swim of course.

We found a cut little alcove and Liam and Tori took in the peaceful view.

On the way home we stopped at the Highland games on Whidbey Island and then took a ferry to get home. Of all the fabulous Living History costumes we saw, we thought that this guy wins.

Notice Liam. Bugging Anna is a constant pastime for him.

And... she walks!

Up up....and away!

so I got Liam a Superhero kit from Michaels the other day. It was a hit. You know those moments when you think to yourself, "this is why it's worth it to be a Mom". This was one of those moments. He was lost in another world. He was totally into character, which was "Super Black Shark". It was magical.
