<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">i swear it was just yesterday i was kissing those <a href="http://bwmortensen.blogspot.com/2010/07/pound-puppy.html">massive pound puppy cheeks of hers</a>. these days she runs away before i can plant one on her. and if I am lucky enough to sneak one on her, she wipes it off and says "ewww. do you have to do that on my cheek." i tell her get used to it. because the answer will always be yes. always.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">she is at such a fun age. and such a hard age. </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">she can make me want to scream and then laugh so hard i wet my pants...all in the same breath. </span>as demanding and frustrating she can be though, she still has every.single.one.of.us wrapped around her little finger. she bats those pretty little eyes and we are all done for. i kind of love her all the more for it. sass and all.</span><br />

He is truly one of the most amazing children I know.<br />
He has the biggest heart. He loves everyone. And wants everyone to feel loved.<br />
He is Honest. Kind. Smart. Funny. Creative. Wise beyond his years.<br />
There has been times when he has tested my patience to the max...but the moments are so few and far between. Honestly there are more times when I think, man I hope I can be more like Isaac some day.<br />
He is just a good kid. I love him more than words can say. And am thankful every.single.day. that he is my boy.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">*My first time "making" Halloween costumes. I wanted to say it would be my last... but by the end I actually enjoyed it. Not necessarily during. But after everything was said and done. It was fun watching the kids getting excited about the process. The sense of accomplishment when everything is finished. I just might be brave enough to try it again... as long as no fur is involved. Never again with the fur. Can we say asthma anyone...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">**Also are we the only people out there that LOVED The Croods Movie? I could not find a toy "Belt" anywhere. Only the miniature one that came in the movie.

Couple days in San Diego. Couple in Anaheim. We left our house at bedtime, in hopes that the kids would sleep the entire time. Not too far into our trip our tire blew out. It was late. We weren't too far from home. So we turned around. Drove home nice and slow, on our cute little doughnut tire... it was awesome. Found out there was another tire that wouldn't be far behind the first. Even more awesome. And as luck would have it we couldn't find any shops near by that would have the tires we needed until later in the afternoon. Basically our quick trip to the beach was off to a great start. Sigh.<br />
By the time we were able to get new tires and head out again we had lost a day and still had a six hour drive a head of us. Not cool. Change of plans. We headed to Sedona. <br />
Our first stop was at the dog shelter (the one we fostered the puppies from). Since they were on our way. A halfway point from our house to the resort. Perfect.<br />

Explored the resort. The kids (and daddy) did some swimming. I did some watching. Ate some yummy food. And went to bed. <span style="font-size: x-small;">Had an incident with cleaning up after the previously mentioned yummy food that didn't sit so well with one of the kiddos, in the middle of the night. So it would seem that our Sedona trip was starting out just as fun as our "beach trip" did... yay!</span><br />
Good news though. In the morning everyone was good to go. Ordered some room service breakfast and headed <a href="http://outofafricapark.com/" target="_blank">to the zoo</a>. <br />
Watched, and really enjoyed the tiger splash show.<br />

The next day we woke up and it was cold, wet and gray. So our hiking plans got canceled. And we headed up toward flagstaff to do some more zoo-ing.<br />
As we started driving it was sprinkling a bit. Soon it was pouring. Then we saw a few snowflakes. By the time we reached Flagstaff it was snowing so hard we could barely see the road. Yes I mumbled and grumbled about "being at the beach". But only for a few minutes. The kids were so excited to see snow. And it really was pretty seeing all the pine trees covered in snow. Even if we were only two and a half weeks into "fall" :)<br />

Always a hit. The cute baby bears. Really nothing cuter than watching a cub climb a tree.<br />

I didn't get a picture of Mozart (the talking cockatoo), but as always he stole the show. He is the funniest bird ever. Absolutely loves people, and knows how to put on a show.<br />

After the Deer Farm we headed to my parents house. Hung out with them a couple hours and headed back to the resort for our last night.<br />
In the Morning we took some quick pictures. Explored for a few minutes. And then headed home.<br />
Stopped by the <a href="http://azsmalldog.org/" target="_blank">shelter</a> and played with the pups again.<br />

While it wasn't the trip I originally was planning. It was spent with the people I love most. Making our quick little trip the perfect mini vacation.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">A few months ago the only tumbling tricks she knew were somersaults. (<span style="font-size: x-small;">Although let's be honest. The girl was walking at 8 months. Climbing up and sitting on the top of the piano by 11 months. She somersaulted around the house instead of walking when she was 2 years old. She was the <a href="http://www.bwmortensen.blogspot.com/2009/11/basically-theyre-crazy.html" target="_blank">epitome of a monkey toddler</a>.)</span> Now look at her go. I think she's pretty amazing. And pretty dang cute too {wink}.</span></div>

I know. I know. I am her mom. But this is way too cute for words. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
She saw the original a few days ago on youtube, and was obsessed. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Literally watched it over and over for at least an hour. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
And now this is what she sings. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Every. Day. All. Day. </div>

Seriously the best.</div>

One of the perks of homeschooling. Ditching the books and spending as much time as we can outside. Because a full week of 75-80 degree weather was too good to pass up. Triple digits will be here way too soon. So in this house we will be soaking in the perfect temps while we can.<br />
