Graduation Party

My mom and sisters came in this weekend for my cousin Kallie's graduation party. There was lots of food, family, and fun!My cousin Kallie and Aunt Linda.

Aunt Mary Ann and Mom.

Kim showed Landon how to play washers. We may have to invest in this game! Landon played it for close to an hour!!
My handsome little boy taking a break from all the excitement.

Little man would only get in the bounce house if no one else was in there. As soon as someone else came in, he would get out!

My sister Brittney and Grandmother.

This is Carter....those eyes are amazing!!

By the time we got home, Landon was one tired little boy. He had fun eating BBQ, playing in dirt, playing washers, and giving out hugs! When we were telling everyone goodbye, Landon said, "Bye everyone, love you"! It was so sweet!

Bedtime Stories

Landon LOVES his bedtime stories. I let him pick two books each night before bedtime, however, we always end up reading at least 3 or 4. Landon would want us to read books all night if we'd let him!
Looks like he can't make up his mind, which isn't the case at all. He chooses the same books every night!! It's so funny...he has a ton of books and he likes to hear the same ones over and over.

I hope his love for books doesn't go away.

Rocking Chair

I have been wanting to get Landon a rocking chair for quite some time now, I just didn't want to pay the hefty price that really cute ones come with. I found this old dusty one last weekend at a garage sale for $5!!

I tried to take Landon's picture with it, and he wouldn't take his hands out of his mouth. I think he must be getting some big teeth in the back. I finally had to tell him to show me his hands. Ha! Not the type of picture I was going for, but it works since he so stinkin' cute! I cleaned the chair up, painted it, and sealed it. Here is the finished product...

I think it turned out pretty cute! The total cost of this rocking chair was around $8. Painted rocking chairs online are $75 and up!

Sleepyhead

Last night before I went to bed I went to check on Landon and this is what I saw...

David and I could not stop laughing. Landon threw this hat in his bed while we were playing in his room, and I forgot to take it out before he went to bed. Funny thing is is that he does NOT like to wear hats at all, and the fact that he fell asleep with one on just cracks us up!!

Tonight before I came to bed I checked on Landon, and there he was sleeping with his little lamb tucked under his arm...pure sweetness.

ABC...

Painting

When we got home this afternoon Landon wanted to paint. He loves this sort of thing and he stays focused on it for a very long time!

He told me that he was making airplanes and snakes! Before he finished, he made sure that every little piece of his paper was red!!
He was so into his painting that I couldn't get him to look at the camera. So at one point I said, "Landon, let me see your eyes"! And this is the look that I got! So funny!

A few sweet things I want to remember:

Lately, if David or I get hurt Landon gives our "owies" a kiss. The other day I told Landon that my stomach hurt, so he said, "oh, kiss" and kissed my stomach. The way that he says 'kiss' is just so sweet. He gives his stuffed animals kisses too if he thinks that they are hurt!
He has also been good about sharing--which is pretty easy to do around here since there are no other little kids. He will be playing with a toy or helping me do something and then say, "Mommy's turn"...it is just so sweet!! He has the cutest little voice.

Mowing With Dad

Landon wanted to help dad mow the yard this evening!

I love how he wants to do everything that we do. We have to really think about what we say and do, since we have a pair of ears and eyes watching our every move! Ha!

Speaking of wanting to do everything we do...Landon was putting blush on his cheeks one morning while I was getting ready!! Shhh...don't tell David!

Landon seems to change everyday. He is a fun little guy and such a character! Lately, when I tell him to be careful or not to do something because he might get hurt, he will pretend that he got hurt. The other day I told him to watch his fingers as he was closing a door, and when I turned around he put his finger in the crevice of the door and started whimpering...then he started laughing as if to say, "ha ha, gotcha ya"! He has also started pretending...it is so fun! He likes to bring me pretend cookies, milk, M&M's, and napkins! So FUN!!
