We went to two pumpkin patches. Unfortunately the first pumpkin patch Erika wasn't able to come but her camera did....however it was set on manual for a cloudy day and it was a super sunny day and I thought it was on automatic...yah ALL of the pictures were totally overexposed! Since Halloween was on a Sunday the kids went to our ward trunk or treat on Saturday and trick or treating down main street at the shops. They had a blast handing out candy on Sunday though to the other trick or treaters. Ben was SO excited every time someone else came to the door. :)</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkTsWUFIaloCRPDoT4UZDAiMeVh1gO_iNYXL18vtxK_VPF9vepbme3YytpIjpwi6ZFQJVQu0l0pOrzFuzlb6cnaKdf1ivXoMjugnfC9whMOZTRHEyRJNcbwMljYQk87MEavOEG8BV-_BBN/s400/DSC_0592.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541025256778611970" />Ben wanted to be a SWAT guy and Landon was a devil. I might have 'helped' Landon decide on this particular costume... because it depicted this last year so well. It was a toss up between a skunk that said "Little Stinker" on it and a Devil... but the devil costume was cuter.<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCtR_v-oHYClz86VDS57f20kYC-dPTG6ye5l8YDpSVkTcXVnSoieA6RbZewOVyNtqc_wKIobjBWpzs2-MhODO9KdLXACvRn2q7HbBEwqdVd9SJpuOj04_Wp63pOhPqbqNf_XkHcW_q0sha/s400/DSC_0586.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541025003874901298" />Gabriella was a mermaid.<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxVVvivAmV-5CU1n7JcVdh1RGCEtlrz4ZJAYi4HTUinU858K3RyHrN62bl3hIOLvZaNIJlcsIpHnm0kyJ_03zEFVk7MUSopw29UYOadSaoEtL8gmAg2cCXwwScz5D0vsSMUfAsr7lyVrU/s400/DSC_0534.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541023836389138482" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 254px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKk2o1a9RxMrRNBvu72C7-n9PRWU5TOGRPXMRbR0fsMiots76x1KF6FXq28VTJOiEC-V4v9E482svCy-6gECphAHgLthyf3pjSvZEumUSHPMTYQy605vwon2vjUJV8N5xIGkkLaZJjOHbo/s400/DSC_0508.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541023834695423458" /><div style="text-align: left;">Don't let his mischievious grin fool you...</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTzV0YCFUinJMhBfNxqqPv-Ocu74v0UIUEtzzVUBVPmQYBB5oM52TuoSpGHAcaoEHpEWFoi1Rsj_FhMiN3kuwO_yX0Bq2co2ibnFE0pNIxJYgpB215Rg7EeTZW6819k4049HUVFqs_zp4/s400/DSC_0393.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541023830343424258" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhakjQDC2xOILlpWhIDonVoS4GKBaNrS7VwQHEJBMcxvzKzGywsFl1NZn7a4nW7aPJWZetl6rahX5pIMJUjVwbPMd_3fKgE5c02ohbuByL-Mn3J67jKZBBp3wjYb9W03bIDPDcYziMrdE7B/s400/2nd+half+Oct5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541032220138343954" />Our little pumpkin!

We have now been here 3 weeks and have loved EVERY minute (aside from my perfect San Jose weather I couldn't be happier.) Everything changed so quickly yet it couldn't have felt more right.<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2VeTQphi56tacA7E3ToX9r6HgKsr_Ty4WmM93HxruUSJDRyer4o8OPntpQcEwfIcSfRgckR2Yn13r3i56ss4vRX7zn4xzxpOho0S6JPl9Ms7telozVRzlmZnkcR16ljtW-q8NP1vvbvMY/s400/DSC_1005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529236111273276274" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2VeTQphi56tacA7E3ToX9r6HgKsr_Ty4WmM93HxruUSJDRyer4o8OPntpQcEwfIcSfRgckR2Yn13r3i56ss4vRX7zn4xzxpOho0S6JPl9Ms7telozVRzlmZnkcR16ljtW-q8NP1vvbvMY/s1600/DSC_1005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIaPQBCTNc0N8-ZQh7hQL_RaKjShAGdGIYzT3KVg9dXnpVcZM075fjY35ulq-q-D1uLwxLBaC5-_dD_R_WZVzXnj7SXzNl1YGCjNfo_2xjb8KA0QtCNWJZRYpkBUIO6J8GAzc6XzpcJelz/s400/DSC_0641.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529237182900549682" /></a>Out of the blue Fernando got a call from a recruiter from Oregon. He had been working with her right after he got laid off at Price Water house coopers to try to find a job in Oregon. He interviewed a for several jobs out here before he got the CA state tax board job, but nothing ever panned out. I finally decided that it just not right for some reason. Fast forward several months to the out of the blue phone call. Andrea, the recruiter, told him she had found him a great tax position job out here that she wanted to see if he would be interested in. He had the phone interview and it went great. Then they wanted him for a second interview in person, right over Labor day weekend. They said that if he couldn't make it in person that it would be ok, but if he could that would be great. He talked to me about it and I told him that it would be in his best interested to do the interview in person and called up <a href="http://erlika.blogspot.com/">my bff Erika</a> to see how she would feel having an unexpected visit. Turns out they already had plans to go to her in-laws for labor day weekend but offered for us to stay out their house anyway. So...we took a quick road trip and luckily got to see them before we left. The interview went fabulous and it sounded like they wanted him. We knew that if he got the job that they would want him to start soon. I decided to take the proactive approach and had us look for houses to rent in case everything panned out. It just so happened that a house came on the market to rent 4 houses down from Erika. We loved the house, and of course the neighbors, but everything was still pending on the job offer and they already had a application that was being processed.... but they seemed to like us and thought the idea of living so close to your best friend was pretty sweet and kept the option open for us. They were on a time crunch themselves because they were moving to AZ in a couple weeks... I figured most likely since we couldn't put in an application that the place would be gone... Fernando ended up getting the job and they even included a relocation bonus! After that everything literally FELL into place PERFECTLY. We ended up getting the house next door(1700 + sq ft 3 bed 2 1/2 bath with a 2 car garage and a big bonus area upstairs for $50 more a month that what we were currently paying), Ben got into the dual immersion program that I was trying to get him into and the transition went so smoothy (though it pretty much all took place in a 2 week time period).<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEfbysRcYuoPsWjd_sEBVz_l0uVmkNLWph7fk222k22BWf0Lh7DEQ4R1B-saTua8ZT_kSbdUGv8R4UK_m3t4uBy6CJB-KSFoKyYoc67JOJA3hUZ1kcSK69rQn5dtj67NpxcTuRi13xrOO/s1600/DSC_0048.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEfbysRcYuoPsWjd_sEBVz_l0uVmkNLWph7fk222k22BWf0Lh7DEQ4R1B-saTua8ZT_kSbdUGv8R4UK_m3t4uBy6CJB-KSFoKyYoc67JOJA3hUZ1kcSK69rQn5dtj67NpxcTuRi13xrOO/s400/DSC_0048.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529239445067204754" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1nY1WSJjd8FKhkWJgYOn6HoZ_BFbVyi7jzz07vIE20cy0JEOqxnHoFwGQZM47IBtHsD9Z7SfPfk9i6C8igvoZCLzEj8yetCg4R8pK0LsJqHzBWgKpt8KWIAtkXcdFJ4OzPdDeFEPMtB0E/s1600/DSC_0012.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1nY1WSJjd8FKhkWJgYOn6HoZ_BFbVyi7jzz07vIE20cy0JEOqxnHoFwGQZM47IBtHsD9Z7SfPfk9i6C8igvoZCLzEj8yetCg4R8pK0LsJqHzBWgKpt8KWIAtkXcdFJ4OzPdDeFEPMtB0E/s400/DSC_0012.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529239426756354338" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></a><div><div style="text-align: left;">I love the space! I love my big kitchen with two sinks and a DISHWASHER (crazy to think that we lived in our other place with one sink and no dishwasher and 1 bathroom for almost 5 years....). Erika and I pretty much hang out everyday and our kids just get along so great! Our husbands hang out and have 'guys nights,' we have 'girls nights' we probably eat dinner together at least 2-3 times a week. We take turns cleaning our houses together, and giving each other a much needed 'break' to shower or what not... We swap watching kids for date nights etc. Yah it is pretty much perfect and everything we have talked about and dreamed about for years. :) We have taken tons of pictures and I will post a few tonight and there will be plenty more to come! <a href="http://erlika.blogspot.com/">Erika</a> is a faithful blogger so it looks like I will be MUCH more frequent and consistent with new postings.

Fernando slept while Erika, her husband and I got in one last game and finished off our virgin strawberry daqueri pina coladas. :) At around 11 p.m. we loaded up our kids in the car and headed to UT. The kids were AMAZING for the drive! They woke up around 7 in the morning and we stopped for breakfast. We didn't stop again in Layton to get free Krispy Cream doughnuts and that was it. We had a wonderful time in UT (though I forgot to get pictures....)even though we were only there for pretty much the weekend....<br />We went out to go to my niece and nephews baby blessings. They looked SO adorable! I am really glad we were able to be there. It is so fun having a niece and nephew close to Gabby's age! It is hard being so far away from family!

The falls were beautiful! The weather even cooperated for us so we weren't rained out! We all had a great time. The kids were troopers hiking ALL the way up to the falls and back (2 miles). Poor Joseph hiked the whole thing with Cpt A in the back pack AND pushing the stroller(intended for Sweetie but she didn't end up riding in it... all the 'extra stuff' ended up there instead. Fernando has a pretty big fear of hights and Landon is naturally a clutz...so he was quite concerned about Landon falling off a cliff or something. There were quite a few part where there were steep edges. </a><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51); font-family: arial;">Sadly to admit, this is our first real big hike as a family... but most certainly not our last. We are looking forward to using our hiking back pack for Gabriella. She is still a little to small for it yet... For fun we put her in it, before our trip, and you could barely see her head poking out above... but give her a couple months and she will fit it.</span><br /><br /><br /></div>Jeanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14733613238759561598noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740710031216049863.post-54567657163392370352010-05-29T02:06:00.000-07:002010-05-29T02:31:11.542-07:00Oregon: Day Three and FourYesterday we went to the park. Ballerina had her little preschool graduation there. They gave the kids cupcakes and little diplomas. My boys LOVED the cupcakes. I think this picture depicts Landon perfectly. He is just as messy as ever, smiling and offering to 'share' his cupcake.<br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDJuLWvOKAId-fnCx8hyZWvycAk3-2iKOR0InOc62aOkFWf6-OI9iY0YjzLdFtSrRvjqVTx8QgEHCqWl_cSkFNpSCWHboApFqrWIU6abfF2FRazlzJ6xM4EYC8xndiWkXfqHLw30odCz25/s400/DSC_1339.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476616683860347522" />Ben and Ballerina posing for the camera. The other day they got upset with each other over some dumb little thing and she told him she wasn't going to marry him anymore and he wasn't her friend. Of course 5 min later they were best friends again playing and laughing. Five year olds are so funny.<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2-oKZWd9MUP4Urg6ByCOj4FmOxjfzDhvsrSPTFzvr07YTuyM0EHPDZamts3om8wBzI2taXE8MkvfM7rzemygBGetiUMFH-rT4SPGnCexSwn8GM8ANGFKZqmiSQ2rytbaKlDz6I6s274oL/s400/DSC_1341.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476616691105299410" /><div style="text-align: center;">When we arrived at Cold Stone all of the kids were asleep I mentioned this to Fernando to which Ben quickly awoke and piped in.

We went out to Red Robin after where we laughed a ton and had a great time. Her friends are hilarious! We finished off our night (if you could say that since it was past midnight...) by giving each other pedicures. She unfortunately got the short end of the stick and perhaps her 5 year old could have painted better.... but it was fun. Mine on the other hand looked almost professional. I have to say. If only I had an artist hand like her. It has been so great to hang out with her!!</div>Jeanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14733613238759561598noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740710031216049863.post-67503794183702745572010-05-27T16:06:00.000-07:002010-05-27T17:38:33.298-07:00Fun In OregonWe decided to take a spontaneous trip to Oregon to visit my best friend Erika and her family.

These are some of his latest favorites. He LOVES to swing the higher the better. Fernando will lift him as high as he can and let go (I am not strong enough) so I will give him under dogs by pushing him high enough to run underneath the swing. He just laughs and says 'again Mommy push me higher.'<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxW7kzDLWGd_HvT204YJ6YU8vtPxLpUAE_3ch0TLFhzIIKNTzoB3Caqrj0_PbIM8AzRE5WLuHX5mgdf5ilEtMFjhess6_Km3w6F_3rEGPVbMA86mqSILJIcQAFPtPQOrq1c9rsv4RBo41L/s1600/IMG_0297.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462072016724987778" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxW7kzDLWGd_HvT204YJ6YU8vtPxLpUAE_3ch0TLFhzIIKNTzoB3Caqrj0_PbIM8AzRE5WLuHX5mgdf5ilEtMFjhess6_Km3w6F_3rEGPVbMA86mqSILJIcQAFPtPQOrq1c9rsv4RBo41L/s400/IMG_0297.jpg" /></a> look at the pure joy on his face.

You can't see this picture very well but picture a park play place and the tunnels that the kids climb through up in the air... this is him climbing on TOP. Just the other day Fernando took the kids to play. He watched Landon come down the slide and looked over at Ben really quick. When he looked back at Landon he wasn't there... he looked all over and wasn't seeing him then he looked up to find him CLIMBING ON TOP OF THE OUTSIDE of the big slide! By the time he got to him he had already reached the top and had slidden back down the slide! Talk about heart attack. But this is common for him. He is always climbing and jumping off high things... I seriously can't keep up with him!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkMwG2XyKI2Lo_wE-DsjqQPFL3z_DewHGilso5-DizBQkYUwxOuWELo66vcxVPfgf2d85BnYqPs1748XTEme5U91bZVY3IHZzlyrFmhhyhT090zgb1_37Sg_zScqcGV3E6qieRHKKEYfnn/s1600/IMG_0285.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462072000867420466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkMwG2XyKI2Lo_wE-DsjqQPFL3z_DewHGilso5-DizBQkYUwxOuWELo66vcxVPfgf2d85BnYqPs1748XTEme5U91bZVY3IHZzlyrFmhhyhT090zgb1_37Sg_zScqcGV3E6qieRHKKEYfnn/s400/IMG_0285.jpg" /></a> He is so excited that he is finally BARELY tall enough to go on the rollercoaster. He LOVES IT! He laughs the entire time (that is exactly how I am on roller coaster - the bigger the better). I had to bribe Ben into riding and here Landon wanted to go again and again. At first Ben wouldn't go but once little brother went he couldn't be passed up by his little brother. Landon got off the ride and ran over to Ben and Daddy and said ' That was super awesome Ben and super fun!' We are in the 3rd row.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg4h90YrbnhA_9EC3VTntvjnGfiX47lf7sIouTm4bLyx4FmaEIgmy5QYc-dAsEzoptLykgC3pMXiJLnyPM-uXGpjp2llfZ_Cyx7Dt6B5QTn-Z2ecv9ZXdLt1y_so_B-KSX6xFwqIdiznHU/s1600/IMG_0145.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462071988932010690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg4h90YrbnhA_9EC3VTntvjnGfiX47lf7sIouTm4bLyx4FmaEIgmy5QYc-dAsEzoptLykgC3pMXiJLnyPM-uXGpjp2llfZ_Cyx7Dt6B5QTn-Z2ecv9ZXdLt1y_so_B-KSX6xFwqIdiznHU/s400/IMG_0145.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Here is another favorite. The Hippity Hop frog ride. It is a kids version of the zone drop. The ride takes the kids in the air and then drops them. This is the boys lifting their arms up so that so that the bar can go over them. He loves to stick his leggs straight out so that is more fun. Ben usually grips the bar tightly but he on the other tries to find the most thrilling way to ride the ride. I have myself to blame since I gave him the idea.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipV5GjOCOujLUviR1ooimdivln3a5rBldUGe80T9Lhp9891lHnTbygGKGy1Fy21Aqin5K9Vk_C7D8n6fEOlt_SW1BCgZtxwzVjyXHJOZ3epcu_wd5gbzm4uUwzM93E0hrz5AlqlmTMgzK5/s1600/IMG_0139.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462071979330449970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipV5GjOCOujLUviR1ooimdivln3a5rBldUGe80T9Lhp9891lHnTbygGKGy1Fy21Aqin5K9Vk_C7D8n6fEOlt_SW1BCgZtxwzVjyXHJOZ3epcu_wd5gbzm4uUwzM93E0hrz5AlqlmTMgzK5/s400/IMG_0139.jpg" /></a><br />And to think that he just BARELY turned 3!

I decided I could either get mad or get the camera since they had the biggest smiles on their faces... my little characters. I am sure Ben was the instigator but Landon had no quams about joining in.

This is quite a familiar scene, however the more I listened the more I realized he was making up his own song AND he was rhyming it. I was a little taken back and had to start laughing. The more we listened we realized he was not only rhyming but he was also making sense! I had to call up my dad and have him sing it to him. He hasn't sung it in a while so he had forgotten it a little when we recorded it today, and of course he felt it would be more entertaining if he acted silly. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are the original words in case you couldn't understand (with Landon in the back ground expressing his obsession with cars crashing... it is a little hard to hear..)</div><div><br /></div><div>I love to go to grandpa's house cause grandpa always reads to me</div><div>before he reads he knows he needs his glasses on so he can see</div><div>where ever may my glasses be grandpa always reads to me</div><div>we look in drawers, behind closed doors, we look in closets shelves and floors cause grandpa always reads to me</div><div><br /></div><div>The part that totally cracks me up is that it is true grandpa Jake has to go get his reading glasses to read Ben stories :) Thanks dad for the inspiration behind Ben's first composition.

In October we went to Oceanside, San Diego, Disneyland, Sea World, and of course the beach! We had a great time with my cousin Lisa (who lives near San Diego) and her husband Darcy and little girl Parker. Ben and Parker got along like best buds! They saw the star wars show at Disneyland and Ben insisted on needing a light saver and ended up as a Jedi knight (obi won) for Halloween. Landon was Yoda. Landon has been talking a TON these day and he quickly picked up on how to say 'twik o tweet' :) November the boys and I headed to Utah for a couple week and then in December we all went out to Utah for Christmas for 3 weeks! The cold and snow wasn't so great but it was great seeing family and friends. We are happy to be back in Cali enjoying the nice weather!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Meagan and the boys get along so perfect!

So many people see Prop 8 as 'taking away peoples civil rights' yet what about our rights as parents. If prop 8 doesn't pass we loose our rights as parents to have a say in what is taught to our children beginning at KINDERGARTEN! please let me know if the link doesn't work... I can't figure out how to put he video on directly... sorry<br /><br /><a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1155394344/bctid1822459319">http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1155394344/bctid1822459319</a>Jeanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14733613238759561598noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740710031216049863.post-11604607654304127752008-09-15T16:45:00.001-07:002008-09-15T17:02:39.132-07:00decorating cookiesBen and I decided to decorate cookies while Landon was taking his nap. Here is how our conversation went.<br /><br />Ben: we need to count them first<br />Mom: ok when we are done counting we will put the frosting on<br /><br />We start decorating the cookies. He is so meticulous. He had to put the smartie on bottom and the M&M directly on top of it. I didn't help at all and went to take a picture at the end but my batteries needed to be recharged...<br /> One time he put the M&M backwords so the letter wasn't showing<br /><br />Ben: oh no mom its backwords we have to fix it. Here mom clean off his back he is so sad.<br />Mom:ok,( as I wipe off the frosting)<br />Ben: he is crying mom you forgot his side and belly oh he is sooooo sad<br /><br />every time we would use frosting to stick the candy on he would say<br />Ben: mom you need to put more butter on it<br />Mom: Ben its frosting not butter<br />Ben: I told ya its frosting mom<br />This was repeated quite often.<br /><br />As he would get a little bit on his finger<br />Ben: oh no i need to lick this little bit off<br /><br />He didn't get a drop of frosting on his clothes nor did he have anything over top covering him (remember he is 3!) and every candy was placed with utmost care as to not get any extra frosting on it that made it look 'messy'<br />It was a fun time. He makes me laugh how particular he is....so don't know where he gets it from... :)Jeanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14733613238759561598noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740710031216049863.post-35534870885583492652008-09-15T16:32:00.001-07:002008-09-15T17:09:12.995-07:00'BATTLE ZONE'Fernando has deemed a new nickname for Landon. He now calls him 'battle zone' I prefer klutso :) No j/k This kid is crazy I tell ya. He is trying to learn how to run and catch up with big brother... and has been bonking his head A LOT lately. This is the latest. He tripped and fell into the side of the half ajar door. There was a lot of blood all over his face and it scared me but luckily it wasn't deep enough for stitches and the swelling went down. I took the picture today so it looks a lot better than it did on Saturday... He screamed for about 10 min and then decided he was fine and wanted to go run and play again. A couple days before he fell and hit his left side of his forehead our chest and cut it and the SAME DAY ran smack dab into our screen tv. I am starting to think he needs glasses or something...
