Graden thought he was winning in "Mario Cart"...
Landen and I decided to get a box down from the top shelf of the closet last weekend. It was labeled "N64" and had our old Nintendo 64 in it. The boys loved playing "Mario Cart" with me and I had a great time just watching them (and secretly trying to win!)...

Muscles!

Graden is showing his muscles here... something Landen taught him. The movie doesn't quite do Graden justice... I'm telling you, it's MUCH funnier in person! Grado literally shakes and shakes while his face is priceless! My little men are just too strong (and hysterical)! We hope it makes you laugh out loud...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Landen wasn't so sure why he had to wear GREEN today. I figured I'd spare myself the long Irish speech and just tell him it was for his "lucky green day party". Someday, I'll go into how things really came to be on St. Patty's Day.

Poor kiddo didn't even make it through his "green party" though... The sitter called me this morning and after taking him to the doctor this afternoon, we learned that he has a really bad ear infection. We just can't catch a break with the health of our two boys! I know it could be worse, so I'm just thankful we're home but it's still been a 'trying winter'... The month of February was plenty though and I hope that March doesn't turn into another unhealthy month. Keep your fingers crossed! (I say this too, because I just took Graden to the doctor YESTERDAY for a double ear infection!) Yuck.

Hopefully your house is germ-free and you're enjoying the SPRING weather that is peeking through today! I'll put more FLORIDA pictures up soon! Love to all our friends & family!

F L O R I D A ! ! !

We went to Florida last week to visit Pawpaw Kevin & Gramaw Pam! We had perfect weather and a wonderful time; depsite that Daddy was sick most of the time. Aunt Kris rode along with us for the 20 hour drive down, that really wasn't so bad. Both boys did a great job; especially Landen who told us each time he had to stop to use the potty! We left Friday after work and made it Saturday with enough time to get a good swim in... It was almost 80 degrees when we got there!

We went to Disney World twice! The first day, we visited Magic Kingdom. It was Phil's birthday so he got to wear a special "pin" and every worker at Disney World wished him a Happy Birthday! A few even sang to him! Magic Kingdom was great... The boys FINALLY got to see 'Mickey Mouse's House'! The second day we went to Hollywood Studios where Landen got to meet Buzz Lightyear and Woody (his two VERY favorite characters)! The weather was perfect for us both times we went to Disney... we were very lucky. We learned this past week that Landen is a huge fan of ROLLER COASTERS and wanted to go on every single one. He was just tall enough (literally) and they allowed him to go with us. He was so excited about this. Graden was laughing nonstop and couldn't help but to point at EVERYTHING! Mommy took almost 400 pictures and will be sure to add more soon!
