September, Part X

Here are some pictures from our photo shoot at Sears.

And yes, I have the copyright, for any of you who might be worried  :)

September, Part IX

Friends & Family...

Next time you see me, my hair will be much shorter!

I cut it and donated it to Locks of Love.

My hair girl, Joann, was measuring it. It has to be at least 10 inches, in a ponytail, to be able to donate.

 There it is... kinda gross when its not attached to your head

September, Part VIII

 Here are pictures from another trip to the Treehouse Museum.

They have this tile wall that they kids can just get paint brushes with water on them and they can draw on it. Kanyon is trying to make a "W". That is her favorite letter right now.

Kanyon & Lane LOVE the school room. I am sure the excitement will wear off as they get older. Then it won't be 'fun' to go to school anymore.  I don't know why Kanyon was doing things left-handed this day, she usually doesn't.  

 "Look, Mom!! A "W"!!"

 Granny came with us to the museum. Ridge was super excited that he didn't have to be stuck in a pack all morning. This is the staircase the winds up inside a huge "tree" in the museum. Hi Ridge!!

Kanyon likes the Art Station too. She always says she is making a picture for Daddy. Usually its just a bunch of scrap paper that she's cut into a billion pieces. This is the only place she ever uses scissors.

 The music room.

 I love it when she listens to the baby's heartbeat.

 Giving the baby her medicine.

Looking through the microscope. Its cool because you can put something under it and they kids can actually see it since the eye part is so big. They have little slides there of sugar, salt, & pepper for the kids to look at.

Dr. Kanyon had to check out Ridge's heartbeat too. 

Kanyon likes to play on the computers because she doesn't get yelled at like she does at home :)

This one was reading her "The Cat In The Hat"...one of my favorites!

Deputy Ridge was overlooking today's activities and approved of it all. 

September, Part VII

These are just some random pictures. Kanyon fell in love with this rocking horse as we shopped in Quilted Bear one afternoon.

 That same afternoon, we stopped at the park and played for a little while.

 Kanyon has lost her appetite lately. Well, I should rephrase that....she eats, but its mostly fruit snacks or food off someone elses plate. I tried to make her hamburger look appetizing, as I cut the crust off it for her AND put a cute little umbrella in it. Didn't work. She didn't even take a bite of it.

 There she is with the infamous "fruit snack" in one hand and a "juice box" in the other. What she doesn't know is that the "juice box" is actually a drink filled with vitamins!! For once Kanyon, you weren't smarter than me! You did drink something that was good for you, and you LIKED IT!

 This picture was taken one morning before we walked to "school". She wanted to wear her "nocks" (which is what she calls her sunglasses) and show off her new backpack.

She calls sunglasses her "nocks" because she was always in the back seat when Daddy pulled the car over to the side of the road and pulled out his binoculars (to look for wildlife), which he shortened to 'binocks', to which Kanyon shortened it even more to just 'nocks'...now thats what she calls sunglasses.
