Captain Smith

My little artist

He is so serious when he creates!

Carlsbad Children's library garden

Wyland is always on the move. The garden doesn't have garden creatures, xylaphones, and sea saws but still not bad!

The Music Man

Best pals

2 little monkeys jumping on the couch....with a Special appearance by Diego Flores.

Mystery tshirts

No pictures but I figured this would be a good place to ask....

Jason just received a package with two green tshirts one of which looks to be my size. Other than it originating from Traverse City the sender is a mystery...we do not have a clue.

Wyland also received a tigers tshirt a month or so ago that was the first mystery as well. No idea on this one either.

Now that we have all received mystery tshirts at our house...it's spittle weird.

Please let us know if anyone of you that follow us sent a tshirt so that we can properly thank you.

Pics to come this wknd.

Have a great weekend all!

The Lagoon

Wyland is really walking up a storm these days...walked and did a little running all over the Lagoon Trail.

Lucky for me there are these nice park benches to take a rest.

But not for long...off to the next adventure.

Another great rest spot!

Sweet...this spot even has a nice little snack waiting for me..."Wyland don't eat the acorns"

       

What about the wood chips?

Bella!  What are you doing?

Bella, are you ready to go?

We had fun...everyone loves the Lagoon...We're all tired and Wyland conked out after dinner and a bath.  I think we might all sleep better if we soaked in a nice warm bath before bed....ahhh!

Cute video - will it work?

Mr. smarty pants!!

If you look closely in this picture, Wyland got 6 out of 8 shapes in the puzzle all by himself this morning. In toddler fashion he did try to jam the diamond in the square spot but pretty close. I'm so proud!!

The second pic shows what we did with puzzles yesterday...much more fun to use your mouth than your hands!

Halloween 2012

Batman or Batboy as he came to be called absolutely loved Halloween.

Having fun at the neighborhood potluck.

Ready to fight crime...

Oh...there he goes...around and around the potluck...just loving it!!

Flirting with the girl next door...and she's older (Sarah's got one month on Wyland).

Serious bat boy.  Has he spotted that villain?

This one is blurry and Bella looks like a demon...we tried to capture how much fun Wyland was having sorting, and shaking, and passing out the candy, but couldn't make any shots work in the dark.

Best holiday yet for the little guy - he played hard, stayed up late, and crashed...smiles all day long.

All curled up

Look at the little guy...so comfy!!

Art Soup

One of our neighbor's asked us to tag along to this neat little DIY art studio a few weeks ago (ArtSoup)...and we had so much fun, a few tears were shed when it was time to leave.

Really?  You want me to paint the car?

Alright!

This paintbrush, oh yes, if you're wondering, it is dangerous.

And running really fast, yes! got my hands in the green bucket before momma could catch me!

Ooohh...lego table...I want one! (I hear Grandpa Larry is visiting soon...hmmm)

Ok, this is when it started...

Oh no, she's got that look...noooo!  It can't be time to go....nooooo!

First Haircut

We decided it was time to tame crazy man...well at least his hair.

He wasn't having the shears, so we had his hairdo together...

Afterwards it was all fun...

Oh wow...oh wow...this is a fun seat.

The train caught the attention of little haircut.

Will the curls return?  Or is my hair stick straight like mommas??

Summer Trip No. 3

For this last trip mom did fit everything in one suitcase again, but man was I happy as a lark that we didn't have to jump on a plane...just a short 45 minute drive up the 101 gazing at the ocean...

View from the ocean view room...happy bday to daddy!

Watching (and pointing) at the sunset with Momma.

Checking out the balcony by myself...

At the Ritz play area/swing set & slide...here I picked this for you!

Ah ha...more sand...let's get dirty!

Now off to my favorite place...the beach!!!

Stomp, stomp, stomp...

Crawling in the sand is the best...

I love splashing in the waves...

Another sunset...appreciating the good things in life at such a young age :)

Good trip...did I mention I love the ocean view room...I do...let's come back here real soon :)

Big day for the little man

He is now facing forward and his world keeps expanding!! Ugh...looks like he's living it huh? :)

Summer Trip No. 2

So we headed to Dubuque for a long weekend to see Uncle Jake and Aunt Michelle get hitched...

Instead of going by way of Chicago, we were rerouted through Denver to Moline...man I've been to a lot of cities...Moline, I hear John Deere is headquartered there.

I point at airplanes up in the sky all day at home and finally got to see one up close...see?

We were in Denver for a LONG time...

Luckily I found a way to amuse myself :O

We had some time to kill on the morning of the wedding so after a leisurely swim in the Hotel Julian pool, we walked over to the Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium.

See the fish?

And this one?

Woah!  It's so big....

This was my favorite!

I also got to dance a little bit in the kids area...and splash around in the kiddie river ;)

Trooper is getting tired...

Whew...all the fish, and water, and dancing wore me out.  Ahhh...napping all alone in a king size!

Time to get ready, huh?

Okay...I'm in.

The wedding was beautiful

They did it! See my bubble?

Familiar chair...did they find grammie and grandpa Potter's high chair just for this wedding?

Pictures are hard to take while dancing, huh momma??
