Love~

She captured our love~

A moment after Landen's delivery that I was never even aware of, a picture taken by our doula. Happy 13th Anniversary to my love.

Things I don't want to forget~

December 2010

~Zachary 8.75, Mikayla 10.5, Landen 18 months~

"Mom! It's December and I am wearing flip flops!" ~Mikayla ~December 2010

"Will the ball break into pieces when it drops?"~Zachary~ New Year's Eve 2010(we never watched it in Indiana)

"Ahbo? Ipah?" ~Landen~ Everyday while we lived in the condo~(translation~Can I watch Elmo on the Ipad?)

"Somebody once told me the world is macaroni..."~Zachary ~Singing~March 2011

This week~

So Precious! The lips, the eyes, the hair, the cheeks, the lashes!

Always cookin' somethin'. Bear is your buddy when the kids are at school. You act like his mommy and throw him on your hip and walk around and buckle him into Zach's old blue doll stroller. Then you stand up and stretch like I do at the park.

I think your hair is trying to be curly. I am officially declaring it strawberry blonde.

Landen, this week you turned 21 months old. I handed you a chip and you took it and you got a big smile on your face and walked away and said over your shoulder,"Sanks Mom!" You started having super duper tantrums. You picked up your shoe and said, "Shoe!" You started singing Blues Clues and Dora. You especially like to say,"Aw man!" and swing your arm up like you are snapping. And you started saying,"Nigh nigh Mama" with a very sad face.=( You bring so much joy to this family and we all love you so much!!

9th Birthday Highlights~

The birthday boy picked a chocolate donut with chocolate chips and chocolate filling for his birthday breakfast. Isn't he so handsome!??! I guess you can take the boy out of Heritage Christian, but you can't take HCS out of the boy.=(

I can't believe he is nine already. I never wished for the days to go faster, not even when he nursed ever 2 hours for the first year of his life. But time still has flown by.

He chose Famous Dave's for his birthday dinner. Yum!

He had been planning it for weeks!

Landen kept feeding him ice cream.

This is what I got when I asked for a birthday photo.

I guess this is typical 9 year old stuff.

We had to reschedule his birthday party due to mommy getting the flu, then bronchitis, then pneumonia. Hopefully we will have a proper Star Wars party in a few weeks. And hopefully pictures of the new house too!
