Before and After

These speak for themselves!!!

Fun PJ's

I know it's early for these, but they are just too fun that I have to let them wear these pj's!!! They glow in the dark!!!

Parks and Fun

We've been hitting up some parks around here and have been taking some great pictures. Landin loves the park and Ashlynn likes to be in the sun. There's a park attached to the elementary school a few blocks away that we walk to that's really fun and has a double slide for both the kids. Then there's another park that is a little further, but it's a nice wagon ride away. That park has ducks that we go and feed. Unfortunately I haven't taken pictures of the feedings, but it's quite entertaining watching Landin let the ducks eat from his fingers, and Ashlynn just watches and squeals in amazement.

Ringling Bros Circus

So one thing that I haven't posted pictures of that we've done is the circus. I've just been lame and haven't downloaded the pictures. Auntie and I took Landin to the circus, along with our friend Kaisa and her son Colten. We took the train to Dallas, down to the American Airline Center. Landin LOVED the train! It was so funny how excited he was for us to get on a train. When we got there, we had to wait for a little bit for it to open. But finally, when it did open we went down to the floor to walk around the circles and see the different clowns and such. Landin liked watching the clowns and the elephant painting. When it was time for us to go take our seats, we went and bought fun souvenirs for the kids and went to sit. The show was FABULOUS!!! It's the best circus show that I've ever seen and it really did grab the kids' attention. The songs were fun, the clowns were hilarious and the animals were amazing! It was a way awesome trip!!!

Headed In The Right Direction!!!

Ashlynn is growing into such a big girl! We're coming up on 11 months now, and she's been crawling, pulling up and cruising for nearly 2 months. Next...her first step. While, there is still one small accomplishment that needs to happen first...standing up without holding on. Since she started pulling up and standing while holding on, she tends to stand on her tippy-toes. So that's probably hindered her standing on her own a little bit, but today she finally did it. She's been showing signs of this next step for about a week, but today was the actual standing! She stood up holding onto her toy box, grabbed a toy and then decided it would be funner to shake the toy with both hands, so she let go! It's so cute! I can't believe she's so big!!!
