SANTA & Victorian Country Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa

Londyn has gotten so big and independent. One morning we woke up and the bathroom light was on upstairs. Cody figured we had just left it on by accident, but then Londyn came down with her pants inside out- I guess she got up to go potty and we didn't even know it- I still can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing?!!?

My parents came to visit! We are spending the holidays alone this year for the first time ever, but we are glad we had at least had some visitors. The new year brings lots of excitement for our family so we are content staying home and starting our own family traditions.

Our usual stop at Chang's for lunch- look at those cheesy smiles! They all look alike to me in this pic. Thanks Mom and Dad for passing on your smile to my little princess!

YUM! Even better when you are 8 mo prego and have an appetite!

We took Grandma and Grandpa down to the carousel. Londyn was lucky enough to ride 2x with grandma!!

We went to the tree lighting at the Salem Capitol. They had a concert and a Santa.

Londyn peering through the crowds to see St. Nick. She couldn't wait to tell him what to bring her this Christmas. We were all in awe as she ran up and gave him a giant hug. Then a perfect smile before the cheesy grin set in.

So fun to see the magic of Christmas in her little eyes.
She told Santa she wants a kitchen and a minnie mouse. I planted the idea for the kitchen but not sure where Minnie Mouse come from?

Cell phone pic of the pic they gave us- I will get the ones off my camera soon- Baby had to get a pic with Santa too.

So thankful for these 2, driving over 24 hours total to spend a few days with us. We feel loved and lucky to have them. They brought Londyn a new "skirt" which is her favorite thing right now. I had a cute red sweater all picked out but she wanted to wear the skirt- and I didn't have the heart to say no.

Harley shirt and all. Can't for for this summer- she loves Harleys!!

Grandma teaching Londyn how it's done.

My parents took Londyn up to Seattle Friday while I worked. They went to a favorite restaurant and saw a belly dancer- Londyn asked Grandma for her skirt :) Fun to see Grandma, Uncle Vern and Randy and Heather's family.

Victorian Country Christmas. This time Grandpa got to ride. So glad they save me-

Love her smile but she is just a cutie in this pic. Can't believe she will be 3 soon!

We stayed with Kris McFalls- Londyn loved her dog Toby.

Word of Mouth

LPK 1.1.13 I changed into my comfy clothes and sat down to eat. Londyn looks at me, 9 months pregnant, wearing one of Cody's shirts and says "Mommy you no wear Daddy's clothes!!"

LPK 12.27.12 Londyn got a bike for Christmas. It is a little hard for her to pedal. She walked into the room where Cody was and says "Daddy my bike needs batteries."

LPK 12.26.12 In an effort to reduce the amount of time spend using the ipad, computer or TV we have cut Londyn off some days to remind her of all the fun things there are to do other than watching TV. Cody was upstairs working and Londyn came in and took him by the hand. She showed him the computer chair and said "You like this chair Daddy?" "Do you want to sit in it and watch a video on the puter?" I was at work but I am sure he gave in!

LPK 11.21.201 Londyn was pushing her stroller out of my room today and said "Bye Mommy- going to work!" I stopped her and said "You going to work at Costco?" "No- Target!" "Bye"

LPK 11.05.12 We were watching Garfield's Thanksgiving and I was telling Londyn that she could be a vet when she grows up. Then I added to the list and said she could be a teacher, a doctor or a Pharmacist like Mommy. And you can be a Mommy. She looked at me and said "I wanna be a Daddy!"

LPK 9.2.12 Driving by Hawaiian Time tonight, one of our fav take out places Londyn points and says "There's Dinner" Right There. There's Dinner Mommy!"

LPK 8.31.12 During the ultrasound for baby #2 we show Londyn the baby's pic, pointing out the head/face. Baby g was opening and closing her mouth, Londyn looks over and says "Baby Screaming!"

LPK 7.24.12 Londyn is obsessed with the iPad. She loves her shows and games. She is usually pretty impatient when it loads but it finally sunk in and as she was waiting for PBS kids she turned and smiled and said all serious, "It's woading."

LPK 6.15.12 Leaving Londyn at daycare, I was sad to leave her, I had to go though. I said bye and turned to leave. I was called back with a sudden"Mommy!" Londyn says, "give me kiss!" I bent down and she laid one on me. Then she says "give me hug!" I got the best hug ever.Then she waved and said "bye Mama"

LPK 5.5.12 Saying prayers L is funny. Last night I said "We are thankful we could go to work and school" and Londyn said "Work" "Target" (I work at Costco now, she is still in disbelief).

LPK 4/15/12- Londyn brought us the Wii remotes and said "Dance with Me" Turns out she loves Just Dance and the "Monster Mash"

LPK 4/15/12- Cody and Londyn just finished a puzzle together. Londyn said "Five" Cody was confused at first but then figured out she wanted a high five. He gave her one, to which she replied "Knuckles!" Cody was so proud!

LPK 3/16/12- Londyn was wearing big girl undies today and had an accident on the carpet. Nothing major but her first one. I had her help me clean it up and explained that we need to go potty in the potty and not the carpet. Tonight when we put her to bed she was playing with her baby alive that pees in the potty and siad "baby" "poop" "carpet" "Oooo" over and over. Cody says she's scarred.

LPK 3/14/12- I sneezed and Londyn said "wess wu."

LPK 3/7/12- Londyn jumped from the couch onto Cody tonight, knocked him over and growled "Tackle."

LPK 3/3/12- Today at the park an unfriendly dog approached Londyn!" and Cody. Londyn went back to playing but turned to repeatedly tell the dog to "SIT!" He obediently sat and she turned to Cody happily and said "I made him sit!"

LPK 3/2/12- today I put Londyn in a shirt with an Effiel Tower on the front of it. She excitedly pointed at the top of the tower and said "temple!"

LPK 3/1/12- while watching Sesame Street she said "Elmo Singing."

LPK 1/12- Londyn learned the word "toot" and loves to blame everyone in the room for tooting. She thinks it is so funny to blame Mom and Dad, but when we deny tooting she points to herself and says "Londyn toot."
