family vacation and a few other things

Our vacation has FINALLY arrived! I am so excited to get the show on the road. A full week of fun with friends and family. What more could a girl ask for?

NOTHING!

I promise to update this blog with photos daily! I am going to do it this time.

Before we go I wanted to share a few Landon stories.

I am afraid that I don't visit this blog often enough. I know it is the same old song and dance but it does bother me that I am not keeping better track of his shenanigans in writing.

Story One:

This is more for records sake than telling all of you because most of you have witnessed this cuteness.

So Landon - you do this cute little move (have been for months) where you pull your arms into your chest, scrunch up your adorable little face, and tremble. It is CAAAUUTE! For the most part you will do it on command. My mission this weekend is to get it on VIDEO!

Story Two:

Landon is OBSESSED with Cailou! If the TV is on and Cailou is not - we have a problem. He will immediately grab the remote control and try to "fix" the television.

Story Three:

Landon now holds up his pointer finger anytime he needs to intergect into a conversation as to say "excuse me" or possibly "shut up" and when he says "no".

Story Four:

Landon is also obessed with planes and birds. Loves them!

Story Five:

Landon is the official dog walker for Savannah. We are not allowed to hold the leash anymore. So independent.

Story Six:

Words and phrases are flowing like a faucet! I am amazed everyday at what he is putting together. I will write a separate post with all of his sayings. Promise!

The last few were tidbits really and I probably have a lot more because let's be honest my kid is amazing! I however have a trillion things to do before we go on vacation.

I love you all and you will hear from soon, possibly even tomorrow!

landon's clubhouse: no dogs allowed!

landon has been hiding out in savannah's cage for awhile now. i am surprised i haven't posted it before (or have i)? lately however he has been taking it to another level.

before it was pretty casual. you know, just climbing in and out because it was new. now we are having a party! he has now been bringing his juice and snacks into the cage with him.

he grabs his snacks, tells us bye, and sits in there for a good ten minutes or so watching tv and talking to his friends???

it irritates savannah to no end but i think it is adorable.

mother's day

i really hope everyone had a great mother's day.

my day consisted of sleeping in, manning the dvr for three hours, folding a little bit of laundry, taking a nap, not touching a single dirty diaper, and getting the best of this little guy all day!

it was perfect!

thank you adam and landon for making me feel so special and loved everyday!

Landon's Growth Chart

As you know, I have been running another blog lately called "Literally Inspired". I am hoping to one day transform it into a business but for now I am having fun sharing my thoughts on books and a little crafting in between.

I will be doing a full post on this project later today or tomorrow on that blog but I wanted to give y'all a sneak peek on the finished project.

I have been working on this for a couple of weeks now. It took a lot longer than I had hoped but I really love the way it turned out. It is far from perfect but basically how I envisioned it. The growth chart is a great starting point for finally decorating Landon's room.

So what do you think?

Hi Strangers!

Hello, anyone out there?

This poor neglected blog.

I really feel awful about not keeping up with what we have been doing.

It has been hard to balance everything lately. We have been so busy coming and going and doing new things.

Landon - if you ever read this, mommy is very sorry. I will be sure to remind you what happened during the months of March and April of 2011.

I will tell y'all that we have started to gear up for summer in our house.

Last week we went and got our pool passes. I can't begin to explain how thrilled I am now that I have an official pass that allows me to be seen in public wearing a bathing suit. It has my photo on it and everything! Every over-weight mother's dream come true!

In three weeks we will be going to the beach with awesome friends!

And we just ordered our patio furniture (finally!) I am looking forward to eating dinner outside for a change.

There has been so much going on lately - I will try to fill all of y'all in this week. I can't wait to tell you all the funny things Mr. Landon has learned, talk a little about our Easter Sunday, and everything else in between.

Have a great rest of the day!
