We had a blast during October and Halloween. Crew decided early on that he wanted to dress as Luke Skywalker for Halloween and begged the family to be the rest of the movie characters. Dressing up isn't something I usually do along with the kids, but when those little hazel eyes ask, I'm putty in his hands.</div>

I had mixed feelings about this because in my heart, I always hoped that we could get it to produce good fruit that I could feed the kids or (learn) to make applesauce. Alas, six years have proved me wrong and he won the battle.<br />
<br />
We rented a chainsaw and he went to work. He lobbed off several large limbs on the sides and then together, with a crude pulley system we tackled the main branches. I am so grateful to report that the neighbor's power lines were successfully avoided.<br />
<br />
We have a stack of branches as tall as our house waiting for a green waste bin to arrive, but we had a great time playing arborist.<br />

Just suffering from too much to do and a dead desktop housing all of our photos. The hiatus has served as a reminder that as much as these personal blogs are "so five years ago," I still love them and feel such an attachment to this little piece of the Internet that is ours for the updating. <div><br><div>So....</div><div><br><div>Monday we were lucky enough to have Cole all to ourselves for the day. We slept in as much as Crew will let us these days, fueled up at our favorite drink stop, paid rock bottoms prices on a fabulous pumpkin family and then headed south to enjoy the Alpine Loop. </div></div><div><br></div><div>The government shutdown meant that we saved a few dollars at the entrance but it also meant the every pavilion-side restroom or portapotty was on lockdown. Tough news for this pregnant mama. But in happier news, the colors were spectacular and Crew had a blast tromping in the mud and snow.</div><div><br></div><div>After a late lunch, we squeezed in some putt putt and games.

Cole and I were determined to make it happen this year.<br />
<br />
The drive is long but the relaxing, fun and family time is always worth it. As an extra bonus, we were joined by several members of the extended family who hadn't seen Crew since he was about 6 months.<br />
<br />
Crew was in love with the lake water, catching minnows, "flashing" anything with his mini flashlight, camping in the "little cabin" and of course, "mountain biking." Cole and I got to completely unplug (aided by the limited-to-no-cell-phone-reception situation), play, read and just enjoy each other.<br />

We were lucky enough to have a lot of our family in town to help us celebrate, along with a few of our favorite neighbors and friends.<br />
<br />
To backtrack, I loved our ultrasound. Our tech spent so much time showing each part of our growing baby and it was really amazing to watch him/her move and breathe on the screen.<br />
<br />
We decided to be surprised with our friends and family so we had to wait three more days before we knew the gender ourselves.<br />
<br />
On Sunday, the gang joined us in a friendly silly string "fight" to reveal the gender of the baby. Verdict: BLUE!<br />
<br />
Crew will be a big brother and we are excited to add to our little baseball team.<br />

My sister in law gets awarded a fancy Gracie award for Best Sports Anchor of the year, her school decides to fly her to NYC to receive the award in person and the rest of us Lansford ladies get lucky enough to tag along for an extended girls weekend. Recipe for perfection I say!<br />
<br />
We took on the Big Apple for five days so instead of boring you with the details of our daily schedule, the highlights by category are below.<br />
<br />
That being said, nothing pictured below will top exploring the outskirts of Times Square four nights in a row to hunt down the Jamaican men selling questionable purses, watches and sunglasses! No pictures cause we clearly didn't want to get caught or impaled. <br />

The Lansford family has a little bit extra to celebrate this holiday season...Cole and I are so happy to share that our family is expecting baby number two on December 1, 2013.<br />
<br />
Every baby is a blessing but we feel extra grateful that our Heavenly Father will be sending another sweet spirit to be a part of our family and home.<br />
<br />
We have no idea what the transition from one to two will be like but are thrilled for the opportunity and adventure.<br />
<br />
Thank you to my sweet and talented sister, <a href="http://blushexpressions.com/" target="_blank">Blush Expressions</a>, for helping us share our exciting news!<br />

Not that I wasn't thrilled with my infant beautiful bundle of joy at the time, but man these kids get so cute and oh, so fun! <br />
<br />
Work is ramping up so a day off or an afternoon activity is just what I need - all the time. Last week we spent the morning at the zoo and hit up Dad for a quick lunch now that his office has been moved to the University area. Crew loves the elephants, giraffes and the carousal. He was also strangely interested in the snakes this time...man, that is a smelly little building. <br />

We hit up the Farmers Market this weekend, forgetting that at this point in the season, there is pretty much no produce. That being said we found plenty to munch on, Crew met a million "puppies, and completely wore himself out with the playground. I wore myself out dragging a giant wagon in and out of the back seat of a Mazda 6. Still, totally worth it. </div>

Utah experienced some serious heat this weekend and we chose to escape it in Grandma Janice's A/C'd home and kiddy pool. Excellent choice.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It had been way too long since seeing their little family and we had a blast catching up, chasing the kids, and soaking up nothing but 85-degree weather. Crew feel in absolute love with their three little dogs (two being puppy-sat) and was such a good playmate to their one-year-old daughter, Addison. And no accidents on two nine-hour car rides? Lets just say I was one proud mama. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We kicked off the weekend with golf for the boys and then a Colorado Springs Skysox game that evening. They underwhelmed us with their scoring through all nine innings and then pulled out an amazing win in extra innings. Which we enjoyed from the parking lot, having lost all faith in them at that point. Isn't that how it always goes? :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sunday consisted of a giant waffle breakfast, afternoon church and a delicious outdoor dinner. Ashley and I pampered ourselves Monday morning with pedicures. After naps for all we were off to the Heritage Days street fair, dinner at Rudy's BBQ, finishing up the evening with old school arcade games in <span class="userContent">Manitou Springs.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crew and I visited my sister Alyssa and family for a week this month. <a href="http://briggsandalyssa.blogspot.com/2013/03/rigdon-rand-depew.html">She had a beautiful little boy in April</a> and I have been inchin' to hop on a plane and hold Baby Rigdon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We divided our time between a half dozen stellar parks and green spaces, her community pool and a few shopping hot spots. We also had the opportunity to spend a few evenings with Uncle Ben and Aunt Madison who are also in Phoenix for medical school right now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The week was so relaxed and chill; just what the Dr. ordered. Even better is that both families will be back in Utah in about a month to see us again. </span><br />
<br />

An episode at the library last week put me over the edge and convinced me that we need to bite the bullet and get our little one trained. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We are only three days in, and have the "hiccup" of Crew being at the sitters for half of the day now, but I remain resolute that we can get this done. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the up side, Crew is a good sport about "Potty Practice," loves his big boy underwear and putting stickers on his Lightning McQueen potty chart and does really well when he needs to go and he is already on the potty for a regularly scheduled practice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our accidents keep falling in between regularly scheduled times on the potty. Any suggestions, fellow Moms?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This time of year can get gloomy and totally drive you batty if you let it. If you disagree, don't tell me, let me live in denial that everyone struggles a little while waiting for Spring to commit to arriving. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Luckily for us, we were blessed with completely gorgeous weather for Easter Weekend. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Saturday morning we kicked off the weekend eating chocolate chip muffins and dying eggs with Crew for the first time. He didn't like waiting for the colors to get deep, so to be honest, he spent most of the time playing with playdough. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My family celebrates Easter morning with a picnic breakfast on the family room floor. Mom would spread out the blanket and fill it with our dyed Easter eggs, mini cinna buns and lots of yummy fruit. We recreate that but opt to use the coffee table as a buffer for the living room rug. And since both my boys HATE hard boiled eggs, we borrow a breakfast casserole from Cole's mom to round out the menu and make everyone happy. </span><br />

However, our trip definitely resulted in a full on Peter Pan "stage" for our little man.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's so cute and has continued, going on, three weeks now, so I wanted to be sure and document the details. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Right after our trip, Crew started referring to himself as Peter Pan. He even insisted that we use a British accent as to sound more like the movie (i.e. Peeta Pan). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A week later, my in-laws were in town and somehow within the week, my mother-in-law was Wendy, Uncle Chase was Captain Hook and I was Tinkerbell. Towards the end of the trip, Crew rounded out the rest of the assignments making Baylee "Darling" (Mrs. Darling), Cole the Crocodile and Taylor a mermaid or Tiger Lily (he seems to flip back and forth on any given day). Rylee got stuck being Nana the dog. And while she is fighting it like crazy - like Chase clarifies below, what the little prince says - goes. </span><br />

This is not a movie I was very familiar with, but what a great area for the younger, shorter guests! I thought every ride was so age appropriate for Crew and since lines were so short, we were able to hit several rides in a short time period.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crew turns three this week and we seized the opportunity to take a trip to
Disneyland in celebration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had my reservations about him being old enough - there were a lot of rides
that he wouldn't be tall enough for, many movies we have yet to see (thus
characters he wouldn't know) and so on. That being said, I was wrong. You heard
me Cole, I was wrong, and you were right. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We had a blast and it was a vacation I will always remember.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So here we go... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After a long car ride from Utah, our first stop was a trip to Huntington Beach. We were first-timers who took the first parking spot we could find, which made for a very long walk to the pier. But after all the time in the car, it was just what the doctor ordered.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crew had no fear with the water and spent the better part of two hours feeding and chasing the birds, sprinting towards the waves and then running back the minute he got his feet wet. Gorgeous, amazing, words can't do it justice. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Picking up shells became searching for treasure and gold doubloons. Ten points to the parents out there who can identify the Disney Jr. show reference there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm still finding sand in some of our shoes, but what a beautiful day at the beach!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We made Annual Birthday Calendars and Date Organizers. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Prior to the activity we purchased a printable from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mycomputerismycanvas?ref=seller_info">mycomputerismycavas.com</a> and permission to use the printable in a group setting. The printable set included a title page and a monthly page for recording important dates and occasions. The idea is to put the sheets in a page protector and use the back side or separate pocket dividers to store cards for each upcoming month's occasions. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We asked each sister to bring her own binder, and then provided the printed page for each month, page protectors, pens to fill in important dates and treats to fuel the chatter. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We also encouraged sisters to store stamps and a spreadsheet of addresses in the binder so it could be a 'one stop shop' for sending a card, so to speak. I<span style="font-size: small;">'</span>ve already stashed some '90 percent off' Christmas cards from Target in my binder this week. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I rece<span style="font-size: small;">i<span style="font-size: small;">ved a similar binder several years ago w<span style="font-size: small;">hen I got <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">married</span> and am excited that so<span style="font-size: small;"> many sisters att<span style="font-size: small;">ended the even<span style="font-size: small;">ing. Even in today's <span style="font-size: small;">digi<span style="font-size: small;">tal age, I love getting a card in<span style="font-size: small;"> the mail and hope my new (organized<span style="font-size: small;">) binder will help me <span style="font-size: small;">do a better job <span style="font-size: small;">of keeping in touch<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Christmas break gave Crew and I a few days home just the two of us. And I must say the time has been just as magical, busy and tiring as I had ever imagined "stay at home" mommyhood to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On one such day, we ventured out to one of our favorite near-by parks for some sledding. Crew got a sled for Christmas; and had had an evening adventure with it at Grandma's house. So basically, we were pros. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crew stayed warm and an excellent sport. He was also bound and determined to climb, slide and generally, fend for himself. I watched him with mostly pride as he made his way up and down, loving every minute of what I thought would be an exhausting trek for him.</span><br />

He totally caught on to the concept of Halloween. Every pumpkin, ghost or skeleton he saw was met with squeals of excitement and comments to the effect of "Spooky Halloween, right, Mommy?" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The new found understanding created a minor catastrophe when the week before Halloween he got it in his mind that he did not, in fact, want to be a train conductor. Nope, he was heck bent on being a pumpkin. As in the costume you put on your infant because they are unpredictably chubby, can't walk and frankly, can't refuse in favor of something cooler. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Luckily, a visit to the party store for a train whistle = crisis averted. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had fun taking photos of him during a church Halloween party, on his way to a daycare party and then of course, the big night. </span><br />

My mission was to nab half priced Broadway tickets at the seaside TKTS booth. 100 percent success! No line and tickets for my most desired show!</span>
