New Laptop and Summer Fun

YEAH!! I finally broke down and got a new laptop. We have had so many problems with our old one lately and it finally drove me crazy enough to go get a new one!! So maybe I'll be posting more consistently...hopefully! So what have we been up to the past week?? We have been thoroughly enjoying summer...going to the pool, playing, reading, shopping (just looking), and just enjoying each other. Landon is enjoying it too! He is just the silliest little guy, he cracks David and I up everyday with the new things he does. He loves phones, and yesterday he was cupping his hand over his ear and pretending that he was on the phone, it was too cute! We also taught him how to play "ring around the rosy" and I think he likes to play just to watch David and I fall to the floor because HE doesn't fall, he just looks at us like we are crazy and then wants to play again. Next time we see you, we can let you play "ring around the rosy" with Landon, because I know in your mind that you are thinking Landon is right for looking at us like we are crazy!! Trust me, you will have a hard time saying no to his sweet little face. Ha!

Landon can get on the couch by himself now, and this morning while I was making his breakfast he crawled up there and watched t.v. until his breakfast was ready. I know that is not a huge deal, but it seems like such a "big kid" thing. Where has my baby gone!?! Sniff, sniff...

My happy little guy.
These are cars from when David was a little boy, he got them out of the attic the other day and just couldn't wait to play with them with Landon.
Landon makes the cutest little car noises and you can see in the picture above that he is making some noises.
Landon recently started puckering up when he gives kisses and he loves to give kisses to his daddy. It takes a great deal of work on my part to get a kiss from Landon, but daddy can get one effortlessly. What's up with that? Anyway, isn't this just the cutest little picture, I just wish that it wasn't blurry...it is still one of my favs.

Pool Time!!

I had a meeting to go to this morning, and as soon as I got home we ate a quick lunch and headed to the pool. What else is there to do in these HOT temperatures?!?!
I got to take pictures and relax at the pool. It was so nice to hang out and let David be "in charge". Usually Landon and I go to the pool by ourselves and I always feel like I am chasing Landon from the splash area to the big pool....so it was nice to sit and soak up the sun!! Thanks David!!

Something about playing in the water makes a person hungry...at least it makes me hungry!! So Landon is enjoying a graham cracker before heading home.When we got home I took Landon's swim shirt off and noticed how tan his arms looked. So, I had to get a picture of the boys with their farmer tans!!

This boy was so silly all day long...he was full of giggles from the time he woke up until the time he went to bed!!

Play Date

Yesterday Amanada and Ava came for a visit. We had lunch, a nice visit, and got to watch the kids play. They were so cute together, they would run around and giggle at each other. Ava has such a fun personality and we truly enjoyed their visit. We need to do it more often. To see more pics of the duo you can check out Amanda's blog by clicking HERE.

Unfortunately, we didn't break out the cameras until the end of the visit. By this time the kiddos were tired and wanted to snuggle with their blankets on the floor. They were just the cutest things all day!!

Here is a picture of Ava and Landon on our last visit. Amanda is expecting a little boy in August, so our next visit will include the new mister!! Can't wait to meet him, I know that he will be just as precious as Ava!!

Happy Father's Day

Daddy,

Happy Father's Day!! Thank you for being a such a cool dad. I love it when you take me to your school and let me run all around your gym. I love all that time that you spend with me!! You are the BEST!!

Love,

Landon

We're Fixed!!

I can finally upload pictures, so keep on scrolling down for pics of the little man, there are pictures below the "Bummer" post too!! While I was making Landon's breakfast yesterday morning Landon came into the kitchen with his blanket and George (his stuffed Monkey that gets more hugs from Landon than I do). I thought it was pretty cute!
Landon then had to give George some hugs.

Not only did Landon want George to eat breakfast with him, he wanted him there for lunch too! Landon would lean over and give George bites of his food and say "mmmm".

Here is the injury Landon got when the table toppled over on to him. :(

Bummer...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. For some reason I am not able to upload pictures to any sites. I can upload pictures to my computer, but nothing beyond that. I have deleted cookies, changed settings, and uninstalled programs to no avail. I didn't realize just how much I love blogging until now--it's just not the same without pictures. So be on the look out for picture overload once the problem gets fixed. We had a busy busy weekend and I have tons of cute pics from that....can't wait to share!! Today is Landon's last day of swim lessons, he has really learned some things that I would have never thought to teach him. We have been spending a lot of time at the pool and he loves it!! Last night Landon pulled a tall console table over on to himself...poor little guy. It is his first big (not too big, but considering he hasn't had anything beyond regular bumps and bruises) injury. He opened the drawer to the the table and tried to look inside and when he did the table toppled over on to him. The knob to the drawer landed on his little foot, so now he has a pretty good sore. We were really worried at first because it started to swell a bit and he wouldn't walk on it. After some hugs and kisses he calmed down and was able to walk and do his normal thing. We are fortunate that the knob didn't hit him anywhere else. Now there are gates keeping him out of the formal living area...yuck!! Gates are not my favorite things, but if it is for the safety of Landon I am okay with it...for now. :) Stay tuned for pictures of the little man!!

Get Together, Baptism, Birthday Party, & Cookout...

We had a very busy weekend and the McDonough's had an even busier weekend since they were the hosts of all of these events. Friday night several of us neighbors gathered at the McDonough's for pizza--yum yum!! That was the big kick-off for the rest of the busy weekend!! Saturday night was their son Luke's baptism followed by dinner at a great Italian restaurant. Sunday during the day was their son Nicholas' birthday party, and Sunday night they had all the neighbors over for a cookout--they must be completely worn out!! I know we were!!

"Did you say, 'we're going to eat cake and do some dancing?'"

Luke's God parents live in NY and were unable to make it down for his baptism, so David and I stood in for them. Thank you Danny and Beth for allowing us to be a part of your special day.

After the baptism Danny and Beth treated everyone to a great Italian dinner.

Yep, that is little man double fistin' the cake!

After dinner the pianist entertained the kids and the adults stayed entertained with some silly kid dancing moves!! It was a good time and this guy was great!

Landon even got to show off some of his dancing moves!!

It was a busy, yet fun weekend. Thanks Danny and Beth!!
