Only one week late, the HALLOWEEN post!

Well, first of all, sorry we're so bad at posting on this site (this is Lanny btw). I've been in rehearsals a whole bunch, especially at nights, and then at school most of the day, and Katie has been busy being a mommy and working on her at home business--which is coming along very well, she's a smart girl, my wife.

Anyway, Adah was Tinker Bell for Halloween. We bought the new "Tinker Bell" movie that just came out for her so she could pick up some of Tink's qualities for her big night.  Her research was pretty good, she especially got the mischievous aspect of Tinker Bell's personality down really good :) So, anyway, here's some pictures!!

Adah Trick or Treating. She got the hang of it really quick. We went at our church, and they just had parents behind the doors in all of the classroom, and she learned real fast that she could go to a door and say treat and get candy. She didn't get the "Trick" part though, she'd just walk up and say "Treat! Treat!" And sometimes take more than the one candy she was supposed to :)

Adah with Peter Pan (also known as Soren who's in the Nursery too). She was really scared of him though and didn't want to take her picture with him. 

Adah and Mommy. Katie went as the ideal wife (barefoot, pregnant, and without shoes :)

Just another cute picture of the little girl!

More Is on the Way...

Just a quick post to let you know we'll be posting again soon--including some STUNNINGLY gorgeous photos of Adah as Tinker Bell.

Quintessential Childhood Moments

The last week or so, Adah has done some pretty darn cute things that it just seems like every kid does at some point or the other, so we thought we'd show you some pictures :)

Specimen 1:  Pants on the head

Specimen two: Partially naked princess towel picture

Specimen 3: Curled up watching "The Little Mermaid" with 'horsey' and 'turtle'

Specimen 4:  Splashing in puddles out in the rain!

Anyway, that's about it for now!  Moscow is a lot of fun, although their football team is even worse than Utah State, which is sad, but we still cheer for them.  In some ways it is even a little less stressful to cheer for a team that never wins because when they lose you aren't disappointed but when they win you are on Cloud 9!  Love ya'll, ciao!

P.S.  IMPORTANT!! We made it so anyone can comment on our blog now!  You don't even have to sign in or anything to do it, so its simple!  So leave us lots of cute messages :)

Adah's 22 months old!

Hey ya'll. Not much to report, but I thought I'd just post a few more pictures of little Adah. She gets cuter and cuter every day. She is starting to like watching TV a little bit now that we have TV for the first time since we've been married. First time in like 8 years for me personally (this is lanny btw). She really likes to watch The Backyardigans, but more than anything she loves The Little Mermaid and tries to watch it multiple times per day, but we usually only allow one time per day, for our own sanity as well as to not feel like bad parents :)

She just recently found out that she's the baby in the mirror as well, so she's been spending a lot of time in front of the mirror dancing and smiling and talking to herself, it's pretty funny! She also likes to dress herself by pointing at certain clothes and saying "pretty". Sometimes she has silly outfits, but she's just a kid so whatever!

Anyway, here are a few cute pictures in some cute outfits as well as outside our house, and out on the track at the local High School football field which is just a block away or so.

Saturday in Moscow

Hey everyone! It's Saturday morning, and we've just returned from the local Farmer's Market with some delicious fruits and vegetables. We're going to have a BBQ later while we watch the BYU game :) Anyway, below are a few cute little tidbits of Adah and also us. The video is of our living room and kitchen area of our apartment, as well as some cute Adah stuff. And then there are also a few pictures of Adah on my scooter, as well as us at the Farmer's market today. Things are going really well for us here. I said this in my last post, but I'll say it again cause it is cool, but I was cast as the lead in our production of "Rabbit Hole" which is way radical. It goes up the first week in December.

As far as family stuff, we're starting to make friends in our ward which is a lot of fun. We had dinner with a couple last week, and we have dates to hang out with some other people as well. We're going to have people over next week for "Bad Mormon Movie Sunday". Where we watch a bad Mormon movie (heaven knows there are plenty!!). We'll probably watch "Passage to Zarahemla" because it is supposed to be awful!

If you need any tips on bad movies to watch, just ask us and we'll point you in the right direction. We also sometimes have "Bad Evangelical Movie Sunday", so you can also get pointers on some of those.

But, things are really good. Adah is just the sweetest little girl there ever was, although she is definitely getting to be a little mischevious. My Dad (Grandpa Langston) said he could tell she had that streak when she was like 12 months old, and its starting to be pretty apparent he was right. I've got a pretty wise Dad! Adah is also getting pretty old. She turns two in November, so that is CRAZY!!! Anyhow, enjoy the pictures below. We love you all and make sure and stay in touch and make lots of nice comments on our blog cause we love to hear from everybody!



P.S. You may notice Adah has slightly short bangs in some of these pictures. I tried to cut her bangs cause they were always in her eyes, but I did a bad job. I thought maybe I'd inherited Grandma Patti's DNA for cutting hair, but I was wrong :)

We're in Moscow!/ Our first post in MONTHS!

Sorry it's taken so long to make a post since we've been here in Moscow, and in a super duper long time in general! BUT, better late then never, so enjoy.

As far and Katie and Lanny news, we're both settling in nicely. Katie's business is going really well, and it is nice that she is able to be at home with Adah. I started school this week, and am teaching two sections of Public Speaking which is cool, AND it is paying for my school. But, best of all, I found out this week that I have already been cast as the lead in a show up here!!! Woot! I'll be playing Howie in the play "Rabbit Hole", which some of you may remember cause my wife was in it earlier this year.

Anyway, here is some pictures so you can kind of see where we are. First and foremost, this is our house. We live in the bottom of it, but it is a LOT bigger than our last apartment which is really nice! Our old apartment was 2 bed 1 bath and had about 800 sq. ft. of space. This one is 3 bd. 1 1/2 bath and about 1400 sq. ft with a really really big living room and kitchen area. We were even able to have just a workout room which is cool.



This is Adah out back of our house. Our backyard connects directly to this enormous field that is pretty fun for Adah to go run around in and get some exercise and stuff like that.



Adah has really started to enjoy flowers. This is her trying to pick some. When we were out in the yard today she was walking around and really excitedly yelling "flar, flar, flar, flar, flar....!!!" (that's how she says it). Besides that, she's talking a lot now in general. She is getting really good at identifying things by pictures and what not. Some of our favorites are "salami", "pickle", "caterpillar", "sooo pretty" (which she says if she wants to wear a certain outfit), "brush teeth", "yogurt" (she eats 2 or 3 a day right now and would eat more if we didn't curb it a little) and many other fun things. She probably says 100 to 150 or so words maybe.



Just another really cute little picture of Adah in a fall outfit. It's been raining and cold about 50% of the time since we've been here so we're not wearing many summer clothes for now.


Anyway, that's about all for now. We'll try and do a lot better about posting things since we're far away from everyone now. Love you all!
