Skating









Kendall got to go skating with Mommy and Canyon. (okay we didn't skate we walked) but Kendall loved it. Here are some pictures of Kendall skating and hanging with her new friend Samantha (we joined a mom's group and met lots of nice people).


They make tiny skates for toddlers and Kendall looked so cute in hers.

Canyon is Crawling

Here's me crawling
Canyon loves standing

Me and Great Grandma hangin out
yay me I can crawl


Canyon is crawling. He has been up on his hands and knees for quite some time now but finally put it all together on Friday, Jan. 25. We are very excited for him. He can now trail after Kendall in an attempt to keep up with his big sister.He is not satisfied with crawling, aparently he would be happier walking. He keeps trying to pull himself into a standing position. If we put him standing up (holding on) he stays there and loves it.

how we are doing.

okay so a couple of things.
Canyon is now sitting up by himself, last night he didn't sleep very well. I went to go get him and he was sitting up (prior to this he had only gotten to a sitting position once) we would always put him in a sitting position before.
The other thing is he now wants to crawl. He woke up several time in the crawling position just rocking back and forth. He will be taking off much sooner than mom is ready.

Lets see - Kendall is getting her two year molars, Daddy got "fixed" hehe and is feeling a little low today. (he had surgery yesterday), and mommy is not sleeping due to her little monster (I mean extremely cute little boy).
I believe I have all recent photo's up now and will continue to post as I take photographs.
Kendall playing with the finger paints she got from Gramms and Gramps

She is not naked - and she loves hiding in her new spot- she scared us every time
Kendall loves wearing daddies hat
Kendall is the best big sister ever, she is always sharing with Canyon and very gental all the time. She will laugh for him when he cries and this gets him to stop crying most of the time.
Daddy put his hat on Canyon and took his photo.

Children's Museum

Kendall and Canyon received a family membership to the Portland Children's Museum from their Aunt Nickie and Uncle Chuck. This is our first trip there and Kendall had a ball. We didn't take any pictures of Canyon because I was carrying him around everywhere and taking pictures. Gramms and Grampa Bob (Robbie's parents) got the kids and us a pass to the Zoo and we haven't had a chance to use it yet but we are very excited.

This is Kendall on the stage of the music theatre
Kendall had so much fun with the water, however as a word of advice to moms with children who are still potty training: Water+diaper=happier people
Kendall loves brushing her teeth at home and here we finally got her to brush the crocadile's teeth. She didn't want to at first but warmed up to the idea after daddy showed her the croc wouldn't eat her.

Okay here Kendall is showing way more flexibility than I have had in many many years, in fact it hurt just thinking about doing this.

Canyon and Mommy out playing in the Sun.
Kendall decided to ride her bike. she was just starting to get the hand of peddling although she still prefers to push off with her feet most of the time because it is faster.
Canyon was so tired after being outside he crashed.

here is our Christmas experience. Canyon wasn't really interested, and Kendall opened two gifts before wanting to play and not open any more. Canyon had more fun inside the big santa bag than playing with the toy that came in it. Kendall got a butterfly fort from "Santa" that we all fit inside (for very short periods of time) and she now plays in it in our living room.





fun pictures

Here are some fun picts of the kids. Also Canyon's first experience with solids -rice cereal.





Christmas Eve

Here are the kids opening the traditional one present on Christmas Eve. The presents always end up being new cozy pjs


Kendall has pigtails

Okay so it took me awhile to do Kendall's hair but we are off and running now. This is her first pigtail experience and we loved it. She looks so much older with her hair done.

Catch up

Okay so I am going to try and get caught up since the last post so there will be a lot very soon.
Okay so we are all having fun playing at taking a nap, only Canyon really is taking a nap, the lucky little guy.
