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!

I love my boys.

I'm in love!

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.

Happy Halloween!

May the Force be with you. We went trick or treating with our usual group plus the cousins. The kids did great and were all so cute. Landon was so excited to be Luke Skywalker jet wing fighter and Grayson was a huge hit as Yoda.

Sweet Baby Gray

I love this little face.

Giggs

Giggs was our first baby. We love that he is a part of our family and so good with the other babies that eventually came along. Landon and Grayson cannot get enough of Giggs. Landon has started going out back to play with the dog and Grayson is always trying to get to Giggs. When he can't get Giggs he will play with his stuffed dog. The dog he is playing with was part of my dog thearpy. Before we got married Curtis used to buy me stuffed animal dogs and get me cards with dogs on them in hopes that I would eventually like dogs and want to own one. I grew up terrified of dogs and never wanted one but Curt's plan worked. We got Giggs 5 years ago and I cannot imagine our home without him. I especially cannot imagine my boys growing up without a dog. I captured some fun snuggles of the boys and Giggs. No dog thearpy will be needed for them. They are hooked.
