Landis+tooth

Landis got her first tooth this weekend. It seems like she has been working on that bugger for eons and it finally arrived. It is on the bottom left side if you are looking at her. I was quite excited about it when I found it. We were in the Del Taco in Payson on our way home from Greer and I think all the patrons in the restaurant got an earful of “Landis got a tooth, Landis got a tooth.” My sweet little pea got her first tooth just two days shy of her 8 month birthday:)

What? A vacation?

So we took a mini vacation this weekend and it was great/good:) The girls did really well compared to our last trip to Sedona when they were just 18 months or so. This time they are super mobile and pretty tolerant of the car so we headed up to the White Mountains. It is amazing that the weather is so different from here, PHX 90+ degrees, White Mountains 60+ degrees and only 4 hours away!

We had an awesome cabin that we stayed at and had great company (Grampy and Grammy), did a little bit of fishing, ate some great meals, drank some good wine, had some good family fun. The girls seemed to have a really good time just playing and being with family. Sleeping was a bit rough but that is to be expected, it is rough at home too:) Here is a conversation that we had in the car:

Piper: Dad…..Dad…..DAD (dad is driving and can’t quite hear her)
Mom: What do you need Piper?
Piper: I was talking to Dad!

LOL! You can see that the girls have some spunk of late which is generally quite cute but it does get a bit old around bedtime:) All in all I could not have asked for a better trip, between all the family I was able to read half of a book that I have been wanting to read and get in some good social and eating time.

And to top it all off Landis got her first tooth!
