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!! :)

Happy Birthday David

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!!

Throw back Thursday

Landon was around 3 months old in these pictures.

Here is sweet little Landon sitting in my lap at Cari and Joe's wedding rehearsal. Happy 1 year Anniversary Cari and Joe!! I hope you are just as happy today as you were on your wedding day.

We made tie dye shirts last year for our kindergarten students for Field Day, so I made David and Landon one too!!

Gosh, looking back on all these photos makes me realize how fast time goes by. I hardly remember when he had so little hair, and when did he grow those long eyelashes that he has now?!?! I am so thankful that I take so many pictures of the little guy!!

Wonderful Weather

This evening Landon and I spent a good portion of time out in the backyard. David had a meeting, so we enjoyed the beautiful weather--just the two of us. Landon mostly played with his bubble wand and I took pictures of the little guy!!

"Mommy, can we pleeease go outside?"

Landon is beginning to climb on things and he thought this footrest was a good thing to climb on. I was close to catch him in case he started to fall.

Ok, just so you know, I was VERY close to him at this point. Little man is absolutely fearless. He did stand up for a small second until I made him sit down.
He was so proud of himself, and mommy was too of course!!

There were birds flying in and out of the backyard. Each time Landon saw or heard a bird he would say, "oh!

After a much needed bath, Landon read one of his favorite books, Toes, Ears, & Nose! After some snuggles and bedtime prayers Landon willingly went to bed, he was a tuckered out boy. It was a great evening with my little guy.

Happy Weekend

We have had a good weekend. We mostly stayed around the house and got some things done and just enjoyed each other. Saturday night we went to dinner with some good friends and came home to paint the guest bedroom. We only have the hallways left so that is good news!! Today we spent alot of time outside since the weather was absolutely gorgeous!! Landon planted some seeds in a small pot, so we are going to watch them grow, hopefully Landon has a greener thumb than I do!!:) I plan to take pictures of it as it grows and put the pictures in a book for Landon. I got the idea from http://www.productiveparenting.com/. The website is free to sign up and they email you everyday with an age appropriate activity to do each day!! So neat!!

What he really wanted to do the whole time we were planting his seeds is eat the soil. Silly boy!!

David has been making games and getting ready for Field Day at school, so Landon decided that he wanted to help. I don't know what David and I did to occupy our time before Landon came. He provides so much laughter and entertainment to us. We are so thankful for all the joy that he brings to our lives.

Wordless Wednesday

Teeth and Rolly Polly's

So we are finally making some serious progress in the teeth department!! YAY!! Landon now has 6 teeth!! I am totally not kidding when I say that 5 of them broke through the skin in one day!! Here are a couple of pics of the new pearly whites...

Total baby bliss!! We were running around playing chase and just being silly, such fun!! I love times like this when we run around and are silly--the giggles keep going!!
Not the best picture, but you can see his teeth!! By this time he fell to the floor in need of a breather from all of our running around.

We were on the back patio hanging out and Landon saw a rolly polly crawling around. He was bent over watching it crawl around when he lost his balance and fell head first into the cement.

:( Poor little guy, I should really say tough little guy because he hopped up without a tear. When he fell he rolled and smashed the rolly polly, so he was off to other things.
