(Sorry the title is deceiving. That would be quite a sight. No, sorry. This is 3-poster-in-one. That's all. My apologies to all disappointed.)
Multi-Cultural Parade
Last year, Andrea made a sweet, little pioneer girl. Somehow that didn't fit with Lacie's personality, so we opted for something else...
Seriously, the kid is amazing.
Each kid was holding a flag from their native country. I love that Lacie is holding a Texas state flag! Oh, Texan pride! I love it!
Andrea's Creativity
Okay, I know she's Mark's kid and all, but still, even with that explanation the child never ceases to amaze us with her creativity. And it's hilarious to boot. This girl is clever on so many levels, from academics to logic to contraptions to complaining (though I'm not exactly thrilled with that last one).
Shown below is Andrea's latest "Lacie-proof lock."
I told her she couldn't take the shoelaces out of Daddy's boots. She was not deterred.
Next up is what Andrea does with bibs and a little bit of time on her hands:
It was a lot more impressive when Mark informed me that our daughter had just made a "Daisy Chain" out in the living room. I would've just thought it was cool that she linked them together. Didn't know there was a name for it!
The Tree of Life
Speaking of creativity...
Here is Andrea's Potato Head rendition of the Tree of Life.
It's not so impressive until I explain each part.
First, we have the Iron Rod. (Each potato head piece represents a person.)
Naturally, the Rod leads up to the Tree of Life. (Note the green)
I'm not sure why they're up there, but the 2 pairs of shoes represent Sariah & Nephi standing at the Tree.
Across from the Iron Rod is the 'Great and Spacious Building.'
Can you see all the potato head pieces? Again, representing people.
Finally, we have the 'Mists of Darkness.'
Cleverly represented here by the water damage to a briefcase found out in the garage.
Now look at the whole thing again --
Seriously, the kid is amazing.

Cute, cute Lacie costume!
Andrea IS amazing - with the boot lock as well as the intricate Tree of Life display. You can tell that girl has been listening! W O W !
Lacie looks so cute. She always looks like she's having the best time. Andrea is amazing. What an amazing mind for such a young girl. Only thing I missed was not seeing Hyrum some where within the maze.
Just came back from State Basketball Tournament. 6 games in 3 days. 2 nights in a hotel and 1 night at Mike's. Had such a good time. So glad to be back tonite so I can sleep in my own bed.
Mike's kids are growing so much. Beautiful kids. You wouldn't believe Kellen. We call him Mike's Andrea. The explanation to that is he is one brilliant boy. At age 2 he is dribbling a basket ball and shooting it into a hoop Mike has at the top of the door and making the shots. He can dribble a ball all around the house. He is the happiest little guy and they are all so thrilled with him. He adds alot of joy to the family.
I so look forward to seeing the kids again. (and of course the new one yet to come.) I miss them alot.
Hoping things go well for you Jeanette and you and the baby will be just fine.
Love to all of you
Pat
You must have been so proud to see her rendition of the tree of life. You have creative, beautiful kids...inside and out.
Hey do you think we should copyright the tree of life play set and patent it? it would make a great visual aid for a primary lesson. Thanks for sharing. Lacie's outfit is cute!
It's kids like yours that gives us hope against the Chinese... hehehe. Bur for real, I'm impressed.
