Can you spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E?

Two peas in a pod...

They wore each other out and were ready for naps...

Landen and Baby Rian!

Ut-Oh! Party in the bathtub!

Rae wasn't sure of Landen at first, but that didn't last long! They played together a few minutes and remembered how much fun they have when they're together.

Graden is quite the character these days... His personality shines through more and more each day. He loves his big brother and learns everything from him. Graden enjoys showing his muscles and knows that it makes people laugh; so of course he continues to show them off! Note the scratch on his forehead: he decided to 'slide' into the corner of our computer desk. Darn matchbox car jumped into his way and made him fall. :) Mommy was more upset than he was...

Look at all of those toys in the background... yet, they chose to play with the empty box. Oh, wait... Landen informed me it was a truck, not just a box. Silly Mommy!

Landen and Andrew

This is Landen and his bud, Andrew on their 1st (of many) playdates. Landen absolutely loved playing with Andrew and called him his "bud"! Graden was too busy checking Andrew's toys out to play with him, but I'm sure they'll become good pals, too! Thanks Karen for letting us come visit you and Andrew during Spring Break! We can't wait to see you again soon.

America's Best Dance Crew!

Here is Landen with his friend Rae, performing in Rae's kitchen. Mommy especially loves their unique moves! We had a wonderful time during our visit to the David home. Mommy was happy holding Rian and the boys were thrilled to play with Rae. Mommy could've videotaped the entire visit, because these kids together made many laughs and memories. Thank you, Rae for being such a special friend to us! We love you! xoxo, Landen and Graden

Landen wants a motorcycle!?!

Landen has been telling me for the past few days that he wants a motorcycle. I keep telling him that maybe he'll get a "big boy bike" for the summer, but he insists that he is big enough for a motorcycle. He tells me that his "Aunt Derek" (yes, he calls him "aunt", ha ha!) will teach him how to ride it! I told him today that his Aunt Rachael and Uncle Derek will have to keep it at their house, too! I decided to get the camera out as proof that it wasn't my idea... Landen thought of it all on his own, and sure enough - he brought it up when I asked him about the "big boy bike"! My goodness... a motorcycle? This Mommy is NOT ready for a motorcycle! Ha ha! And, do they even make Diego Motorcycles? :) Oh Landen! We love you Aunt Rachael & Aunt Derek! :)

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!
