Happy Earth Day!

Easter Fun!

Happy (late) Easter! We hope you had a wonderful day!

Landon's first time coloring Easter eggs.

We were all prepared for a very messy craft, so we set up outdoors, covered the ground with plastic and had a roll of paper towels on hand. To our surprise, there was hardly a mess and the eggs turned out amazing...all done by a 2 year old!?!

Landon noticing that the eggs kept popping up to the surface, so he was pushing them back down.

This is so fun...I think I'll toss this egg in the pink cup.

All done!

Easter morning...

...all ready for an Easter egg hunt.

And he's off...

Landon had a great time looking for eggs and putting them in his basket.

The Easter Bunny filled Landon's eggs with plastic jungle animals, bouncy balls and Teddy Grahams. By the look on Landon's face, can you guess what was in this egg? Yes, Landon is smiling and saying, "Cookie!"

The Easter Bunny also hid a few eggs in the front yard.

Checking all of his eggs and making sure he didn't miss any cookies (heehee).

Lots of love and hugs from our family to yours!

2 Years Old

Someone special just turned 2!

Happy Birthday to our sweet little Landon! He has filled our lives with joy, laughter and fun. Our hearts are full of love for this adorable little guy. We can't get enough of him!

On Friday, I took some pictures of Landon in his birthday shirt. I LOVE this picture!

He has the cutest smile...ever!

I can't believe how tall he is. He has changed so much in the last year.

Yep, that is one cute smile!

We celebrated Landon's birthday on Saturday. Of course, we had to go with a Disney Cars theme. The past few weeks, I had fun buying decorations and getting fun ideas off the internet. For some yummy treats, we had Motor Oil (Pepsi), Antifreeze (lemonade), Spare Tires (chocolate donuts), Dipsticks (chocolate covered pretzels) and cake. (Yes Elisa...I discovered Pinterest.)

Here is Landon's awesome and delicious cake. Mmmmm...

Our dining table all decorated for lunch.

Landon's guests included: Mommy and Daddy (heehee), Grandpa, Grandma, Gammy, Great Auntie Nancy (Gammy's sister from Sea Ranch...north of San Francisco), "Auntie" Terri and a quick visit from my friend Teri, her husband Gary and her puppy Pixie.

The ladies chatting while Landon was snoozing. (He basically fell asleep at the beginning of lunch in his high chair).

Daddy got the guest of honor up from his snooze. Here he is with all of his favorite blankies that he likes to sleep with.

"Talking" to Grandpa about the movie Cars. (Really, what Cars party would be complete without playing the movie in the background!?!)

Time for presents! Landon got books, toys, arts and crafts, clothes and a Radio Flyer tricycle (like a Big Wheel). Here are a few pictures of Landon opening presents, but there will be more pictures in future posts.

Checking out his delivery truck from "Auntie" Terri.

Sorry, I couldn't resist putting a bow on top of Landon's head...

...he's our present. :) xoxo

We headed outside to play with his bubbles.

That's when my friend Teri, her hubby and her puppy stopped by to wish Landon a Happy Birthday. Landon is giving Pixie a puppy treat.

Two candles for our birthday boy. He did a great job blowing out both candles!

Landon's cupcake "goatee." :)

Daddy and Landon sharing a bite of Landon's yummy cupcake.

This year, we thought we would go with a "smash cupcake," rather than a "smash cake."

We are so proud of our little guy and can't wait to see what the future holds!
