Sweet words

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Another reason why I love my iphone…

It records (voice memo), here’s Etta saying some words on 5/29/2010.

Just click on the link below and it should open up a new window, then click play (FYI: it’s 1 min & 20 seconds long, but hilarious)

Etta says hello… and more

Our recent visit to Portland included a trip to the Portland Lan Su Chinese Garden.

It was a surprising little escape from the big city! The kids LOVED the fish!

Oh Baby!

We are eagerly expecting the arrival of a new little neighbor! Etta and I have crafted up some sweet welcoming items, we will share once he/she joins us!

To help with the wait, I thought we would all enjoy some hilarious photo’s of me as we waited for our (not so little) arrival!

Trauma

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

How to traumatize your children.

1) Walk into a bright pink donut shop (preferably VooDoo Donuts 2 in Portland Oregon)

2) Do not purchase donuts

3) Jump up and down because you spot the old fashioned photo booth

4) Cram 2 mama’s and 2 toddlers into photo booth

5) Tell children to smile at flashing green light while restraining

6) repeat step 5

7) repeat step 5

8) repeat step 5

9) Your child is now  traumatized (or at the very least bewildered)…. and you have proof!

10) If your feeling really motherly… you can go buy donuts! Preferably ones with cereal on top!

Fair time!

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Fair time=Fun time!

Especially now that Etta is old enough to go on one ride at least (the carousel).

We had a super time with some good friends and just got the film developed, scanned, and uploaded! Colton took these pictures with Pentax ME, K 55/1.8, Fuji 200, you can also view them (and more) at http://picasaweb.google.com/colton.allen/AtTheFair#

I think the Mama’s might have had more fun then the kids! Especially since we got to meet Mr. Turtle!
