Our lil' beast!

Beast class at The Little Gym started this week. This is Landon's 2nd semester as a Beasts. He has been at this studio with the same group of boys and teacher for 1 year now (we initially started him at 4 months old). The boys in the class Brody, Cash, and Landon are definitely the 3 musketeers. Over the course of 1 year they have learned to socialize with each other, follow each others lead, entertain each other, and just down right be boys!!! Sure other kids have come and gone with our classes, but Lan, Brody, and Cash have always stayed at each others side! Landon has grown so much and you can just see new milestones be reached, challenged, and tried during these classes. He loves being there....we we're only off for a few weeks, and he and all the boys were thrilled to be back on their stomping ground. Each of us moms took turns noticing how big our boys were getting, all the while getting misty eyed as they wanted to attempt new and old skills independently. So bittersweet to watch them grow! The teacher Miss Rachel has been with the boys a year now....so ohhhs and ahhs right along with us, remembering when they weren't walking or nearly so demanding as to how class will be run for the day. Yes, some classes the boys just demand bubbles or balls or just want open play time.....Miss Rachel, so eager to please the boys usually will adjust our class lessons or go over our time limit. Scot, Landon, and I absolutely love The Little Gym and adore the families we have become so great friends with!

Listening to Miss Rachel

Landon's favorite part to swinging on the bars.....falling on the big mat!

If one does the obstacle course, you're sure to find the other two!

Cracking each other up!!!

Imagination Movers

Landon just can't get any more adorable!! Lando rockin' out to the Imagination Movers.....a favorite in our house. He runs, dances, sings, and jams on his guitar to their catchy tunes. Musician, perhaps?!

Out with the old, in with the new.....

Look out 2010, here we come!!! On New Year's Eve I usually feel a little nostalgic and melancholy. Another year so quickly passed, a reminder that time is going by in the blink of an eye. A year of beautiful memories and challenging stepping stones leading us into the open and empty pages of a new year, waiting to be filled with a myriad of new memories, moments, and testaments.....

Toasting the night away!!


Good cocktails with great company, our friends, the Pelokes!!

We rang in the New Year at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. Keeping entertained with adult company, great drinks, amazing food, a gorgeous villa....even better, Scot and I just enjoying each other's company!! We had a brilliant night to lead into a brilliant new year!

A beautiful 1st morning in 2010!

Cheers to 2010!!
