Little Artist :)

We're stranded today! No car, and the stroller is in the trunk of the car while Jake takes the first part of the boards exam. Usually Luke and I go somewhere every day... not always a super exciting place, but at the very least a walk around the neighborhood! The two of us get so restless sitting around here! So without a car and stoller, I decided to try something a little different today. Luke loved it! A couple of months ago I gave him some crayons and put paper in front of him to see what he would do... he just wanted to eat the crayons! haha. But, today was different. He actually put them on the paper and colored. Here is his first masterpiece!

Check out the dots from the banging action!

Chunky little hands have mad drawing skills...

Ok mom... it has been almost 20 minutes and I am definitely done! ... notice the crayons and his paper on the floor now. :)

FiNalLy! :)

So, we have been home since July 6 and I am finally getting around to putting some pictures on here! These are from the Smith trip to Zion Natl. Park, and our time back in AZ! My sis-in-laws posted others at http://4yourconsideration.blogspot.com/ or http://hootieshowl.blogspot.com/.
