Swim Lessons

Landon and I had our first mommy & me swim lesson this morning! He totally wanted to sleep in this morning too. :( After he ate his breakfast we were out the door. There were 2 other little ones in the class with us. The water was SO cold at first, but it eventually warmed up...it was a cloudy morning with no sun. Today was mostly about making them comfortable in the water--Landon had a good time and as soon as we got home he was ready for a nap!!
Little man must be wondering what swim lesson are...while he was eating his breakfast I told him that when he finished we were going to swim lessons. He kept saying, "huh?" and "oh"."Come on mom, let's go!!"

Harley Visits the Brewer's


What a great way to start our first official day of summer...Tandy and Harley came!! Tandy and I always wait way too long to see each other, we really need to work on that. Anyway, it was so great to see them, Harley has changed so much since I saw her last and she is just as adorable as ever!! Landon was a little cranky and very clingy...he is teething and just wants his mama. However, we did have fun and we need to plan these visits more often.


Tandy and Harley...no that is not Tandy's bow, she is wearing Harley's bow since Harley always rips it out of her own hair!

Landon being a sweet boy by showing Harley how to put the balls in the dinosaur. Harley really liked the dinosaur.


Cute kiddos!!

Outside Fun...

School was officially out on Friday!! YEAH!! I am so ready to spend the whole live long days with Landon and David!! Friday was also Landon's last day with the babysitter. She will no longer be babysitting, so she sold (at a VERY cheap price!!) some of her outside toys to me. Landon finally has a little tikes red and yellow car that he has wanted for some time now, and he also has a little climbing/slide thing. He loves them and would spend hours and hours outside playing with them if we would let him.

Calculator Phone...

Landon's new favorite word is "hello". If he sees a phone, sees anything similar to a phone, or hears a phone he says "hewo". It is just the cutest thing! He fished a calculator out of a drawer and used that as his phone this evening--silly boy!! I just love him so much, sometimes I feel like I am going to burst!!

Ohio


Friday afternoon we flew to Ohio for Brandon's graduation. Landon did wonderful on his first trip in an airplane. We even got a few compliments on how great he did...I did all my worrying for nothing. I had never been to Ohio before this trip, all the green trees and grass was so pretty. Landon got to see his 5 cousins that he hasn't seen in almost a year. Stephen took care of him like a little mother hen, it was so sweet. I think all the cousins had fun seeing Landon, they were all so gentle and sweet to him. I know Landon had fun seeing them!!

The hotel that we stayed at had a cute little house behind it that served a wonderful breakfast. The scenery around the little house was so peaceful and calm, there were plants, flowers, a small walking pathway. The picture above was taken in front of the house that serves breakfast.
Landon loves it outside, so he enjoyed walking around the little paths.On Saturday, we went to Kings Island, it is an amusement park similar to Six Flags. Landon and Kyle spent some time in kiddie land riding some rides. It was so cute watching Landon be so independent and "big". I think I was more scared than he was. Ha!
I did get to ride a few of the kiddie rides with Landon. Here we (David too) are riding in a helicopter. Landon was just hanging out.


Landon had fun riding the horses on the carousel. We rode it several times during the course of the day!! Landon always seemed a little frightened until it started going, then after that he really enjoyed it!

Landon and Kyle were so cute riding in this jeep together. In the picture above it looks as if Kyle is giving Landon some tips on how to drive.
Such a big boy!!
We had a great day at King's Island, despite the fact that we got stuck in the park during a huge storm!! The storm came at the end of the day just before the park was closing. Security put us in a storage closet in a candy shop because there was a tornado warning!! We all made it out okay and will look back and laugh at the craziness that went on!!
Sunday we went to church and then Bryan drove David and I around to look at Mason while Landon took a nap at the house with Grandma and Grandpa.

Kyle and Landon.Brandon with his mom. She has four more high school graduations to go!!Stephen totally looking as if he would rather being doing other things besides getting his picture taken.

Unfortunately, we did not get to go the actual graduation due to our flight schedule, but it was nice being there for Brandon's graduation weekend. Our flight home was a little delayed, but we made it home safely late Sunday night.

This was Landon soon after we arrived home from the airport...he was one tired little boy!!

Weekend Review

Grandma & Grandpa came up for a quick visit this past weekend and this is the only picture that I took while they were here. Bad, bad me!! We did have a great time despite the lack of pictures. We invited our neighbors over for dinner (they are from NY) and mom and I cooked them up some fried chicken...yum yum!! We showed the city folk just how the country folk eat dinner!! We had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn. For dessert we had banana puddin' and later we had birthday cake for David's Birthday. It was a good night with family and good friends.
Landon was running around in the back yard tonight before the storm came in. David is at the Rangers vs. Yankee game with our neighbor (the one from NY) and he called earlier and said the game is not starting until 9:30 due to the storm. The game was supposed to start at 7:00. It will be a long night for them...yuck. :(

Not too sure what is growing in this flower pot...maybe Landon can work his magic on it and something beautiful will appear!! :)

Landon and I just wanted to say "Happy Birthday" to the best dad and husband. We love you and hope that your 34th birthday was great!!
