Here comes TROUBLE!

Laynie is a little busy body who drives us crazy trying to keep up. She has become a creative and skilled climber. When we first found her climbed up on the kitchen table, we thought it was sooooo cute. But then she progressed to sliding barstools around the kitchen to access the snack bar, cupboards, pantry shelves--everything AND the kitchen sink.





Her latest feat was to scale Mount Kenmore. I was folding laundry when I started to get that "its too quiet" feeling. I couldn't find Laynie anywhere in the house. Finally, I returned to the laundry room, where I had left the dryer door open. Laynie took that as a challenge to boldly go where no child had gone before. I found her sitting on top of the washer, just playing contently with the hangers.

Evening at the beach

When we were in California we went to Crystal Cove. It's an area in Newport Beach. We learned about it from a girl that works with Jon, she grew up in Newport. We had never heard of it before so we were excited to do something new with our girls. We waited to go until around five o'clock in the evening so the tide would be out. It was so much fun, our girls loved it. I would highly recommend it, if you are ever in southern California. There were all kinds of sea creatures. We stayed long enough to watch the sunset. It was beautiful. Of course there are a lot of pictures of Laynie because it was her first time seeing the ocean. None of my girls have ever been afraid of water. Which can be a good and bad thing. We couldn't let Laynie out of sight for a second, or she would run right out into the water.

Our trip to my happiest place on earth ( not necessarily Jon's)

This is out trip to California in November. We wanted to see how they celebrate Christmas in Disneyland.

Its a small world at night. Everyone should see this at least once in their life. It's almost like the 8th wonder of the world.
