The Last Month
It's been awhile since I posted on here, mainly because I left my camera at my parent's house when I was down there in January and just got it back a couple of days ago! I do have a few pictures to post though, so here they are! I also have a ton of video (no camera, so we used our video camera a little more!) so I'll try to post those too.

Below Zero Zoo
For Christmas, my parents got us a zoo membership. We were very excited, and when I saw the forecast for Saturday was dry and not super cold (about 50 degrees), I thought we should make our first visit as members. Shane came with us too, for his first zoo visit. Unfortunately, it was SUPER cold, but we still had fun seeing some animals, especially the baby elephant.
In this picture, Landon is stretching his arms out to see if they're as long as the eagle's wings.
Davis was fully bundled up and probably the warmest of all of us . . . but he sure couldn't move around much!

I is for Instruments
Once a week, my friend Lori and I get together with our kids and do a letter day, thanks to the great Memory Lane Preschool items my mom has assembled for me. This week, we had fun hearing the story about the letter I, coloring our letter I, and gluing "I" words on our page.
The best part for the kids though was when we got out the instruments. Landon got a bag full of instruments for Christmas from his grandma, so he passed them all out and they had a great time banging and pounding and shaking. It was pretty wild with five kids all doing it at once (even Davis participated), especially since one of the instruments was some cymbals that Austin and Landon took turns banging constantly. :)

Don't Freak Out!
The other day, I loaded up Landon and Davis in the car and headed out to run the long list of errands I had been writing down all week. One of our last stops along the way was Fred Meyer, where I had a couple of things to return, and a few sale items I wanted to buy. As we pulled into the parking lot, I reached into the backseat to grab the bag of items when I realized I had left them at home! "Ah man!" I said while giving a frustrated sigh.
Landon looked at me and said, "Don't freak out, Mom."
It's a good thing he's learned that expression. I'm sure he'll have to tell it to me again - maybe even when I actually am freaking out! :)

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Part II
For the last two weeks, we have been basically snowed-in here in Portland. We got over a foot of snow, and church was even cancelled for both weeks. My parents and David came up the Friday before Christmas, and they both just barely made it in between storms. I couldn't believe how much snow we got! I guess it was the most snow in 40 years, or something like that. Even when we left to drive to Ashland yesterday morning, we still had to leave our chains on to get out on our street and to the main roads. Here are a few more pictures of Landon playing in the snow.
This was last Sunday, before we got another five or six inches to top this off.
Just after this picture, Landon came to the window with a sad, sad face saying he had lost his little rocket in the snow. We were worried at first that it may have gone the way of the blue boot that he lost at Grandma and Grandpa Malan's last Christmas that wasn't found until April when the snow melted. Luckily, Uncle David came to the rescue, and we had this picture from just a few minutes before with the rocket in hand. After a little digging, David found the rocket and was the hero for the day. :)
