The firemen showed us the fire truck, the hoses, and where they live went they aren't running around saving lives.</div>

This month we've been learning about shapes, patterns, and colors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We found them in nature, in construction, and in a feast. We finished up this topic by finding them in art!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We figured free day at the SAM was a great place to find those things in art. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can imagine it was stressful. And fun. But mostly stressful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait, no ... don't touch the floor! ... Just kidding. They could touch the floor. </div>

It was just a normal car sitting on the ground that someone claimed was "art". The cars hanging from the ceiling with "spikes" as Dragon calls them, were much more artistic than the car on the ground but what do I know. I just drive a car every day of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In other news, when you tell Dragon to hold still and smile he jumps around like crazy and gets his friends to join in.</div>

While the moms spent the majority of the time freaking out and trying to keep our three-year-olds from being three-year-olds, the kids really did have a blast.<br />
<br />
Dragon walked into a room at one point and said, "This is AMAZING!" I was in another room and didn't see what had caught his attention but I did hear him. It made me smile.<br />

And what do kids do when you don't let them touch anything but the floor and benches they sit on for an hour?<br />
<br />

And, a tip from someone who hates paying for parking, DO NOT park in the SAM parking garage with their "reasonable" parking rates. Ha! I was fooled. I went down the ramp and then I saw what their "reasonable" rates were.</div>

Too bad it would have cost me $7 just to go in and out. Otherwise I would have done just that and spent another 40 minutes looking for parking somewhere else. Oh well, I'm just saying I paid $22 for admission and the parking was free.</div>

I actually tried to get Ben to get our tree from Costco but I'm glad we didn't. We went to a different tree farm this year--a little further out in the woods and away from civilization. It <i>almost</i> felt like we were out in the mountains.<br />

It was past bedtime and our boys were so grumpy. I told Ben I couldn't wait for them to be in bed and then suddenly this happened and I could barely stand putting them in bed. </div>

My boys get their dance moves from me. ... Sorry boys.</div>

We spend at least a half an hour each day doing the above. Exactly. It has taken me several months to finally catch Colt's signature dance move in such great length on camera. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
In other news, we are so far behind on our blogs so I'm going to try and catch up a little over the next few days but that's mostly wishful thinking so just enjoy this post and hopefully it will tide you over until the others come!<br />

It was a day like any other except that I decided I wanted to eat in peace and let my kids get down from the table before Ben and I had finished our meal.<br />
<br />
As Ben and I sat relaxing and chatting about the events of our day, Colt decides to stand up and randomly FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER walk from the middle of our room to the couch -- a good 5 or 6 steps away!<br />
<br />
There was no motivation for him to do that. No one was there to catch him. No one was encouraging him. All those hours I spent trying to get him to do it with me or Ben were in vain because apparently he could care less if his parents are there to catch him. The pesky.<br />
<br />
Guys! This. Kid! This was a few minutes later. Luckily he decided to cooperate for the camera otherwise I would have been so mad!<br />

A group of ladies from the ward with kids all around the same age (2-3) decided to put together a co-op preschool this year and I am so excited (and a little nervous!). Dragon was all against it until I told him his favorite friends were going to be doing it as well and then he couldn't wait to go.<br />

He put on his backpack and we took a few pictures and then it was time to go! (Actually it was still 15 minutes early but he wanted to go so badly that we just got in the car and I drove really slow and then took a really long time unloading them.)<br />
<br />
Once there he got straight to work learning life skills like how to fix a shopping cart wheel.<br />

Geocaching is so fun!<br />
<br />
Last night, instead of sitting around at home on the computer and watching TV, we went hiking through brambles and bushes on a trail under the power lines through the city.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK4UD87D-qagNJpOlLKtFAotIRKrsl5Rtvj8th4j2R71kY1TZ-JVFBmjayNZCfqNKzlJaJuI0wLyUVYSnkSVYsy8dwHOoeQlSiPkhNPlMk0DnAlZn8UUUm1bJ63hL0nz8mN-K8Ok6QdGM/s1600/IMG_8826.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK4UD87D-qagNJpOlLKtFAotIRKrsl5Rtvj8th4j2R71kY1TZ-JVFBmjayNZCfqNKzlJaJuI0wLyUVYSnkSVYsy8dwHOoeQlSiPkhNPlMk0DnAlZn8UUUm1bJ63hL0nz8mN-K8Ok6QdGM/s400/IMG_8826.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
We never did find our cache but we did have a lot of fun and we came home with a lot of scrapes! Note to self, blackberry bushes show no mercy.<br />
<br />
For a long time I thought you needed to have an expensive GPS device to participate in the fun but when Ben and I combine our phone GPS powers it usually does the trick!<br />
<br />
Dragon loves finding his "treasure chests." He's already claimed a mini-car and an over-sized army guy.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the chests are big and sometimes they are smaller than his thumb like this one:<br />
<br />

<br />
That one took two different trips to a nearby park to finally discover but we did it and I think we managed to do it without alerting any muggles (the uninformed passerbys) of its presence.<br />
<br />
No matter how big or small, there is always a sense of accomplishment when you make the find and sign your call name.<br />
<br />
I'm certain this will be the first post of many regarding our geocaching adventures.BrookeJeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14467414526690166373noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347160390805003816.post-25743870165330745632015-07-12T21:24:00.001-07:002015-07-12T21:25:19.495-07:00Flying a spaceshipFlying a spaceship is serious business.

And then, finally, Ben came up with a brilliant idea.<br />
<div>

<div>
Dragon didn't need to start at the TOP of the slide. He just needed to go a little ways. And then he needed to go a little bit higher. And a little bit higher. And before we knew it this happened: </div>

Unfortunately his appointment lasted 10.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for him, when he was not happy about it I had to be helping so I couldn't document his hysterics.<br />
<br />
Not to worry, he got a toy ninja when he was done so he's more than happy to go back again next time.<br />
<br />
On a side note: I love his dentist.

It helps that he's still a big kid at heart. No wonder he's Dragon's favorite. And Colt's second favorite--which will only be the case until Colt learns how to eat on his own and then Ben will be Colt's favorite as well.<br />

It would take a lot longer than this post to tell you all the reasons I love Ben as a dad so we'll just sum it up with this:<br />

He would have been the world's best dad just by loving my kids but everything else he does (which is so so so so much) is just the icing on the cake.<br />

I can't really blame the Asian women for their obssession with him. We think he's pretty cute. (He's now been photographed by random women at outings on four different occasions and in two countries. He's going to be a celebrity somewhere and we won't even know it!) </div>

Since this blog post sums up the entire week of birthday celebrations it's going to be a LONG one. I could have probably broken it down into 4 or 5 different blogs but, in the words of my awesome husband, "Too hard!" </div>

We got all dressed and headed down to Seattle to go to the zoo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I was so prepared that nothing could possibly ruin the morning. And then, just minutes away from the parking lot, I realized I'd left our stroller home. Oops! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a little annoyed with myself since that meant having to rent one but ... it was still fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Dragon's favorite animal to watch at the zoo is usually the penguins. They weren't swimming around as much as usual on the day we were there though. </div>

Luckily, we were meeting up with friends (who did remember their stroller) so Dragon and his friend rode in the wagon and had a blast.<br />

Every time he'd lick it he'd crack himself up. I think he thought he was licking solid water or something. He loves licking water when he's in the bath?<br />
<br />
I especially loved the time he was closer to the glass than he realized and, when he went to lick the glass again he smacked his whole face into it. ... He was not as amused as I was that time.<br />

Everyone fell asleep like 10 or 15 minutes from home which meant they didn't go back to sleep after I put them in bed which then translated to mean that everyone was super grumpy all afternoon long. Needless to say, a show was in order. Which meant Dragon watching from the front seat of Colt's firetruck.<br />

Colt finally got a cake for his birthday instead of measley cupcakes. Unfortunately he switched his nap time up a few days before the party so that he now goes down for naps at about the exact time his party was scheduled. Needless to say the kid was having fun but he was sleepy. You can tell from these pictures!<br />

He was a fan of the flame. He tried grabbing it not once, or twice, but three times during his birthday song. Not to worry, there were no children harmed by the birthday candle. Luckily.</div>

Yet another attempt at cupcake eating. This time he just grabbed and flicked. Unfortunately, the heating vent was directly behind him so he kept flicking it off his hands directly onto the vent. Oops!</div>

We arrived just before lunch and got lucky. They were just serving up hot dogs and chips and cookies to a group of boys who were just wrapping up their service for the camp.</div>
