Landon Lines: Part 2
Landon looking at Mommy "Who ate my sandwich?"
Mommy: "I didn't eat your sandwich. Oh, Giggs must have eaten it."
Landon: "That little busted dog"


Landon and I were laying in his bed and I was telling him about how he was as a baby. I mentioned how he used to suck on his binki and then fall asleep. He looked at my sadly and said, "I miss my binki."
I started to laugh at the fact that I stupidly brought up the binki tragedy of 2010 again and that he still missed it. He looked at me seriously and said, "Go ahead. Laugh it up fuzzball." Clearly we have watched a lot of Star Wars.

Landon, the future Rock Star.

Here I am!
























































Happy 1st Birthday Baby!

Grayson Conner is officially one. We had to postpone his birthday party because the boys and I got sick. We celebrated with a candle and a bowl of mac and cheese. He had been practicing blowing out his candle all week. It was too cute. At one he crawls, pulls himself up, and scoots along the furniture. He is also becoming quite the talker. He says Mama, Dada, Giggs, dude, this, that, I that ( for I want that), Oooooo, bye bye, hi, juice, and ball. He also loves to play ball. He throws them, bounces them, catches them, and tries to kick them. He adds so much to our little family and is falling right in line as a Holmes boy. We are truly blessed. Happy birthday sweet baby Gray! We love you.

Gotta Love the Snow!



























































We headed up the hill to enjoy the snow and celebrate Cameron's birthday on Sunday. Curtis is on a short break from soccer, so we are taking full advantage of our free weekends. Landon loved the snow as he did last year, and has quite an arm on him. He can throw a mean snowball. He also likes to sled head first. Grayson loved the snow as well and even went sleding. (Not head first yet). The look on his face when we let him get in the snow is soooooo his Daddy. I could hardly take the mini sunglasses. It was a great day. The boys were great and slept like babies on the way home, just like their mommy.

Landon Lines...

Here are a few of my favorite Landon lines. He cracks us up with the things he says. Here are the recent top five...

5. "Mom, after preschool I'm gonna go to High School."

4. as he is shutting the bathroom door "Mom. Don't come in here. It's my property."

3. L - "Are we going in your car or Daddy's car?"
Mommy - "We are going in my car."
L - Does a mad huffy breath. "Mom, I don't want to go in your car. You have girl music. I want boy music."
Mommy - giggling "What is boy music?"
L - "Smashing Pumpkins"
Mommy - in my head thinking "Smashing what? I need to talk to Daddy."

4. "Mommy was I in your tummy when you were a little girl or a big girl?"
Mommy - "You were in my tummy when I was a big girl." ( If only you knew)
L - "Don't worry Mommy. I will always be your baby, but soon I am gonna go to College."
Mommy's look goes from thinking how sweet to how sad.
L - "It's ok mommy. Don't worry."

5. Let me set the scene for this last one. Grayson in teething and has been fussy most of the weekend. He is crying in the excersauser. I am desperatly trying to rip (you know what I want to say here) Christmas lights off the tree in an effort to finally get it out of my house before the end of January. I have sap stuck to both arms and some in my hair. I am not tall enough to get the last strand off, even when I am standing on a dump truck step stool and now am more pissed than 2 seconds ago. Landon is running around the house in a Darth Vader mask and playing with his new blow up light saber. I am thinking, "When is Curtis going to be home? I need someone tall and more arms." He has been gone all weekend and I am tired. We are all in our Pajamas still. I turn to see Darth Vader staring at me. He looks me in the eye, cocks his arm back, and throws the lightsaber at my head as he yells "MEET YOUR DESTINY!"
Mommy - "Really?"

Time flies when you've got more than one!

Wow, Halloween costumes still. Well I guess it is only appropriate that I just took the lights off our Christmas tree and came home from work today to find its limbs poking out of the green waste can. It was a fast end to 2010 and a quick start to 2011. Landon will be 4 in 2 days. How did that happen? And, Grayson started crawling the last day of last year. He wanted to bring in the new year with moves. Here are some pictures of the last 3 months. Sorry for the delay. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Carving
















We carved pumpkins (or drilled holes in them if you're Landon) again this year as a family. Landon also got to use glitter paint to decorate his pumpkin. Mommy got to use the glitter paint to decorate Daddy. In an effort to unplug the tip of the glitter pen, I squeezed too hard and shot purple glitter into Curt's eye and all over his face. I was laughing so hard I cried, and Curt's eye cried because it had so much purple glitter in it. Landon watched the whole event take place and calmly looked at me and said, "Mommy, Now say sorry to Daddy." I tried but I was laughting too hard. We found purple glitter dried on our walls days later. It was the best pumpkin carving/decorating ever. At least I thought so.
