Backward Pants

After changing Landon's diaper the other day, I told him to put his pants back on (since he is Mr. Independent)...
and this is how he put them on!!

I thought it was so cute...he was so proud of himself! So, of course we left them that way for the rest of the evening!

Easter Sunday

What a busy Easter weekend with my 2 favorite boys!!
Landon woke up to his basket that the Easter Bunny left for him.
Checking out his new bubbles. After Landon looked at his goodies and ate breakfast, we got ready for church.Our little family before church.

While we were getting ready for church, I was telling Landon about the meaning of Easter. I told him to say, "I love you, Jesus." & "Thank you, Jesus." I didn't think he was paying much attention to me during our little talk, however, during the middle of church Landon said, "Thank you, Jesus." It was so sweet, my eyes filled up with tears.

After church we headed to the country to spend Easter with my Grandmother, aunts, and cousins. There were enough kids there to have an egg hunt for the older group of kids and the younger group.

Looks like he is trying to figure out what is in that egg. He is probably hoping that it is 'M's' (M&M's).

Landon enjoyed getting dirty and playing with dump trucks. Landon and his cousin, Cooper, filled the back of their dump trucks with dirt, and then they would push their trucks around the yard. They were so cute. Landon just did whatever Cooper did. Cooper is about 1 year older than Landon.

There goes Cooper with his load of dirt.

And Landon is not following too far behind with his load of dirt. They were so cute playing together.

Just a couple of handsome boys. Being outside with all the trees sure does make for some nice pictures.

Aunt Linda with Cooper.

It was nice sitting and relaxing outside most of the afternoon. After we left the country, we headed north to visit David's Grandmother for a little bit. She is always so sweet, so it was nice to drop in and visit her. We also stopped to visit Logan's grave. There were some grass clippings on the edge of Logan's headstone, so Landon helped me clean it off. It was a sweet way to end a great day.

Egg Hunt and Egg Decorating

A church in our neighbor hosts an egg hunt each year for our subdivision, and there are close to 9,000 eggs to be hunted! Landon is ready to go!Look at all those eggs. Landon was in the group 3 years and under.

Landon enjoyed hunting eggs, and he still hasn't figured out that the stuff inside the eggs is candy!! I'm so thankful for that! If there were Hershey miniatures in there he would definitely know what those are. I have a little dish of Hershey miniatures sitting on a table, and he sometime will go stand by the table and say, "please." He would also know M&M's if he saw those in there too!!
When we got home from the egg hunt we dyed eggs!!

Of course, the first color that Landon would want to choose to dye his egg would be none other than, YELLOW!!

We made a wet mess, but had a great time!!

Landon was writing his name on some of the eggs. He would write and say, "o, a, m, d".

I have lots of pictures from Easter day, and I will try to post those early in the week!

Flip Flops

Landon got a new pair of flip flops, and he does NOT like them at all!!!

It was a struggle to even get one flip flop on. He kept telling me, "sock on." He finally sat down and took it off, and tried putting the flip flops in the trash!!When David came home, I had him try to convince Landon to wear them. He was able to get both flip flops on him, and Landon cried and cried. He wouldn't even take a step with them on. He finally sat down and took them off. Then he brought them to me and said, "these stink" and he went to his room and put them in his closet! Ha! I guess we are going to have to make him wear them for a few minutes a day until he gets used to them. He does not like getting new shoes at all!!
I know it is terrible of me to put pictures of Landon crying on here, but really the whole situation is just too funny!! I love his little personality!!

Easter Hunt

My school had an Easter egg hunt for all the staff members children the other day. There were so many kids there!!

This is Landon standing next to Hudson! Hudson has the most chubby cheeks, and they are just so sweet. Hudson's mom teaches next door to me, so we get to share stories about our little men quite often.
Landon had fun searching for eggs. He was very slow and poky at moving around, so he only got a couple of eggs. Ha! I don't think that he realizes (yet) that there is usually candy in those eggs! And this is Briley...she is such a cutie! Her mom also teaches kindergarten with me.

Mr. Independent

Landon wants to do everything by himself. Although is takes a great deal of patience sometimes, I am very thankful that he is trying to be independent.He was trying to put his jammies on all by himself. They were twisted in all the wrong directions, yet he wanted me to stay far away from him.
Something that would take me seconds to do for him can takes many many minutes if little man is wanting to do it independently...this is where the patience comes in!! Ha!!
He finally gave into my help, and he was just acting so silly before he went to bed!!

He has recently been wanting me to take his picture (I shouldn't get my hopes up, I know it won't last long!) just so he can see it played back on the camera. Usually he says, "tongue" and sticks his tongue out for the picture...he thinks it's funny to see it on the camera!!

Fireside

We kept the fire going most of the day today. I sure hope that it's the last time we will have to use the fireplace until next winter...it is spring after all.

Tonight after bath time, I got Landon dressed in front of the fireplace where it was nice and toasty.
Tonight was our last night of spring break, so that means we go back to school tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that Landon has missed his friends during this week off. Before I put him in his bed tonight, I told him that in the morning we were going to see Shelby and Wyatt (his friends at his sitters). I guess he thought I meant we were going at that moment, and he went to the door and cried for his friends. I love that he loves going to Ms. Shelley's house!!
As I am sitting here doing my blog, Landon is in his bed entertaining himself. He is saying, "Cow...moooooooooo", and then I hear him giggle.
Oh how this little boy has every little piece of my heart.
