My other blog...

I just wanted to share again about the other blog I started. This blog will be for all things Luoto...mainly the kids:) I started another blog that is more connected to my spiritual journey and the things God shows me along life's path:) If you'd like to follow it go to:

That one is public so anyone can follow it!

Sophie is here!!!

Ive been so bad at blogging ove the last few months that I decided to blog little blurbs to help get back into the groove.

Today was a GREAT day! Miss Sophie Lane Kauer joined our lives! Many of you who have followed my blog over the last couple years are familiar with their story. I wont go into details now, but what you need to know is that this little girl was such an answer to so many prayers and anticipation.

Here she is!

Oh, and here is our little guy...wanting mama to hold HIM (note my belly)! He was so sweet in there. He was excited to meet baby Sophie and was so smitten with her:) "Look at her little tongue! And her little knows."  "Oh her feet are so cute."

I cant WAIT for miss Lydia to come and to see how much he dotes over her:)

Lydia's Sneakers:)

This really should be a longer post explaining the challenge Ive faced with shopping for my daughter. But, alas, the stupid blogger photo uploader took so long on the Hawaii posts that Landon is now up from his nap and I dont have time to share the whole story.

But I will share the shoes. I probably blogged last summer about the fateful 'shoes' Landon loved so much. Picked them out himself, cried when I told him we couldn't get them because they werent on sale like the sign said. Went back a few weeks later and they were on sale...splurged on $30 shoes for my boy. Luckliy he wore them forever...and loved them. Seriously.

So what do I come across at Ross, of all places, the other day? The SAME shoes in girlie colors. Result..Lydia's first sneakers:) Hope she likes them as much as her brother did:)

Hawaii 2010~ Snapshots

Ok...so Im blogging today! The thought of catching up since the last time I blogged seriosuly gives me anxiety (which is easy to do...thank you pregnancy hormones). So I decided I would just keep it brief and try to get back in the groove of quick and easy blog posts of our life:)

That said....can I express how much I hate the new image uploader for blogger? What the heck?!! Takes for ever and you have to individually insert the pictues. Lame-O! Anyhoo, that is why there are only a few snapshots from our 2 week trip to Hawaii. Im too irritated to keep uploading more!

Highlights:

-Puka Dogs...best hot dogs EVER. Mango relish, secret sauce, hawaiin sweetbread bun. Literally worht the $6.50 (even compared to the $1.50 Costco dog and drink. And those of you who know me know I love me a Costco dog!)

-Landon spinning blissfully in the pool with all his floaties and goggles...daily:)

-Taking maternity shots out on a little beach a rock bluff with Kirk.

-Our date night at Dukes.

-I literally cant think of anything but Puka Dogs right now..... ha!

We're still here...

Hello 'followers.' :)

So I feel like a dork. Here I went and made our blog private and than have YET to actually blog about anything. And yet, I still dont have time. As I sit down to finally do some catch up, Lando is deciding to wake up an hour early from his nap. Shower...not yet. I better get going.

Just wanted to post SOMETHING because Ive gotten a lot of emails from people wondering why they werent included in the switch over. Dont worry, your were:) I just suck at this right now!!!
