Beginning of trip to Europe

Here we are in the airport preparing to fly over to Germany. Ben has a 6-week rotation for school in Copenhagen with Novo Nordisk and then we will spend another five weeks with Nadja's family in Frankfurt for Christmas and New Years.
Laney is a natural traveler, carrying her own backpack, and helping pull Ty's. What a cutie!
Two cute girls in the airport!

Laney and Ty playing with their cousins Erin and Joshua in Denmark
A short walk from our apartment in Denmark leads us through the forest to a huge castle.
Laney took this picture of us on the castle grounds-pretty good for a 3-year old!
Laney was posing for a picture when Ty jumped out of the stroller, ran over next to her, held her hand, and said "EEEEEEEE" (meaning "CHEEEEEESE")

The Charlottenlund Castle just a short walk from our apartment.
The ocean on the other side of the castle.
It surely is pretty walking from our apartment to the beach-the forest is fantastic, and the colorful leaves are gorgeous!
The kids enjoying a Danish favorite-flodeboller!

Some Sunday morning dancing before Church.

What's Laney and Wesley doing in the bathroom?
Washing Shannon's mirror and talking to their own reflections.
Ty's watering the flowers, his pants, and his shoes.

Kitty sneaks in and sleeps in Laney's bed whenever she can. She loves that Laney girl.

Ty and Laney were in the tub and Ty wanted out. So I took him out and set him on the couch wrapped up in his towel and a blanket. Laney was still in the tub so I was keeping an eye on her. When I went in to check on Ty, he was asleep. Then Laney wanted out and I wrapped her in her towel and a blanket. Then I went to make a call and when I came back 5 minutes later, she was asleep too.

I had to work on my birthday but Ben and the kids came to Ikea and had lunch with me and then when I came home we had birthday cake and ice cream and Ben and Laney sang to me.
Ty's reading a book on the floor.

This is the face that Ty makes when we try to take a picture of him. I don't know if he thinks he is smiling or what but it looks really funny. In this one he's drinking a fruit smoothie.
Laney said to Ty, "Let's skaal (cheers) our mustaches." and then they kissed. It was cute.
Handsome boy.
Ty eating an egg. Notice the salt saker in his other hand. Nothing comes out because it gets so slimy.

Eating Oreos.
He saw Laney dipping her oreos in the milk so he wanted to too. Now he dips everything in his drink......The other day he was eating hot dogs and dipping them in his juice.....yummy!!!
The pro shows her brother how it's done.

Ty dipping his Oreo in the milk. Notice how he doesn't get part that he dipped in his mouth and how he sucks all the milk out of the oreo instead of just taking a bite.

The video with the airplane is from the airport. There's this place where you can walk right under the airplanes as they fly over your head. It's so loud and awesome. This video does not even show how close they really are. Laney felt like she had to crouch down so the plane wouldn't get her.

Morfar Is Here

This was so cute. Morfar was sitting in the rocking chair and suddenly Ty just climbed up and say next to him.


These next pictures are some pictures that Laney took after church one afternoon.

We thought that Ty could just eat some of our ice cream, but it turned out that I could eat a little bit of Ty's Ice Cream.
Laney enjoying her "Superman Ice Cream".
The next weekend we went up the Midaway to "Swiss Days". It was so hot that we were all sweaty and hot and cooking. But everybody were good sports and let me look at some of all the cute crafts that were there. Afterwards Morfar decided that we definately needed an ice cream to cool us down. So we found this little ice cream place in Heber that looked like it hadn't changed since the 50's. But it sure was good ice cream.

We finally got a fence all the way around our yard so that we can contain our wild boy.....but then Morfar came and decided to teach Ty how to climb the fence and get down on the other side......:-)

Right when we parked to the train was ready to go and we had to run to see it.
Morfar and Laney walking back to the car.
We kept driving up Provo Canyon so that we could go see the Heber Creeper. This is Laney and Ty waiting for the train to start going.

Eating our sandwiches.


After we had played in the water for a while, we decided to eat our lunch nearby. This is Morfar, Laney and Ty throwing rocks in the river.

Laney and Ty splashing in the cold water.

The kids loved playing in the water at the bottom of the falls.
When Morfar came to SLC for a couple of weeks we took him to Bridal Veil Falls up Provo Canyon.

Laney modeling one of Wendy and my old dresses. She says she looks like Cinderella when she wears it because Cinderella also has an apron just like hers.

This is Ty catching up on some of his reading before he goes to sleep.
Ty's little cute foot sticking out when he's asleep.
