Just a bunch of randomness!

I don't really have a lot to say on this blog post, I just mainly have a few random pictures I want to share. 


I took this picture a few weekends ago. She didn't have a nap on this day due to how busy our day was, so as Adam and I were cooking supper, she sat down and fell fast asleep. 

My two babies playing at my grandparents house. This was a few weeks ago as well. It was somewhat chilly that day so we had a little bonfire going on. Landon loves to throw sticks in the fire. But he quickly says, " I cannot touch the fire. It will burn me!"

This is how he stays entertained while at his sisters gymnastics class.

Adam and I went out to eat back before my birthday. I hardly ever take pictures of us anymore so I thought I would take one that night. :) Seems like when you have two cute kids, my camera automatically goes to their faces instead of ours!
And before you start to wonder, it was a total accident that we are color coordinating. I only like to do that for family pictures and Easter. Ha!

Playing with our best friends on a Saturday night! Love Spring time!

Just wanted to show you our new pigs. They are loving all the wheat they have to eat!

The kids had an Easter egg hunt at Memaw and PaPaw's house.



The kids also got a kite as part of their Easter goodies from Jerry and Nancy. This is their first ever kite experience and it was a hit! We spent ALL last weekend flying their kites.


Landon just loved to run after her. He could not stop laughing.

Landon had a Spiderman kite. He kept telling me, "I have Spiderman! Don't touch him. He has fingernails. Roarrrrr!!!" ha ha. He really has no clue who Spiderman is. 

And just because :)

Landon is doing pretty well with using the potty. He goes a couple of times a day and gets some type of candy afterwards as a reward. We have been telling him he needs to be like Levi and be a big boy and pee in the potty. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. ha. He is really into insects as of lately. Spiders, snakes, ladybugs, etc. He always tell us not to touch snakes or spiders because they will bite you. (He is obviously just repeating what we tell him all the time) I caught him the other day trying so hard to catch a huge lizard that was on our deck. That thing was long and pretty thick. They gross me out. I snatched him up because I could just invision that thing biting his finger and hanging on with all of its might. Then I wouldn't be able to help Landon by pulling the lizard off of him because I just cannot for the life of me touch them. Poor guy. If he ever does get bit, he just better hope I'm not around because I won't be much help. 
I am positive my candy loving( notice his red mouth?), tractor playing, dirt digging, bug catching little boy will be the one to give me my first gray hair. He marches to the beat of his own drum. Loves the word "no". Is not too big on sharing his toys with his sister. He is the definition of a true 2 and a half year old. ;) But in the same breath, he is such a loving and sweet boy who wants to do everything his big sister is doing. They may bicker and argue throughout the day, but at bedtime every night, he always runs into her room (and most of the time crawls in bed with her) and kisses her and tells her he loves her. Watching that always puts a smile on my face. He has the softest skin, cutest little button nose, and the sweetest laugh you will ever hear. 

After dinner the other night, (we had breakfast! That is one meal Adam and I know both kids will eat everything off their plate and be relatively quiet while doing so.) Landon was finished so we got him down and he went straight to Adalyn and said, " I want to hold you sissy!" So, she picked him up and held him while she finished her biscuit. 
Moments like that don't happen a whole lot (ha!) so I had to find my phone and take their picture!

Last Saturday morning we took the kids to Lowe's. We are trying to find the perfect size and color flower pot so we can load it will all kinds of different flowers and greenery. I looked over and saw Adalyn with the flower pot over her head. Landon grabbed one and did the same thing as well. It was hilarious. Instead of telling them to put them down, I grabbed my phone and took their picture. Thankfully no one was really around us because I'm sure they would have thought we can't control our kids. lol We totally can, we just chose not to at the time! ;)

Easter 2014

What a beautiful day we had! So thankful for the awesome weather we had yesterday. All week leading up to Easter, Adam and I made sure to really explain to the kids what Easter is really all about. Well, Adalyn understood. Landon is still too young to really know what we are talking about. 
Anyway, Saturday night the kids went to bed excited because the Easter Bunny was coming. Sunday morning they were able to check out their loot!


I was very practical with what we decided to put in their baskets. Adalyn definitely does not need another doll and Landon does not need another tractor or digger. So, for Adalyn, she got an outfit that I purchased back in December and put away for Easter, panties, socks, sidewalk chalk, a Hello Kitty toothbrush, candy and a new bathing suit. Landon got two I Spy books (He LOVES those books!), a new Digger book, The Jungle Book DVD (that's for both of them really) a Bert and Ernie toothbrush, candy, a bathing suit and "gardening tools".

"Look! I got shovels!"

Love Adalyn's bed head?!

We watched The Jungle Book and ate breakfast. Then we got dressed for Church and packed the car full for our long day ahead of us!

Church of course was wonderful. I pray that I never get over what Jesus did for me. (and you!) Nancy also joined our Church- what a great day to do so!

After church, we headed straight to my Grandparents house. Unfortunately, this is the last Holiday we will be spending at their house. For the past few weeks, we have slowly been taking things out of the house. The walls are looking bare and furniture keeps coming out. I am thankful for the beautiful weather we had to enjoy the house/property together for one more Easter. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Last year on Easter, it stormed, my Granddaddy was a few weeks from passing away, and we had the stomach bug. We ended up celebrating the next Sunday when we were not puking everywhere. :S









I have to say this. This is the very first time (ever) Landon has actually willingly smiled AND looked at the camera at the same time. He always smiles for pictures, but he is also staring out into space and trying to escape from wherever I have put him to snap his picture. So I have to take a million of the same pose in hopes I get ONE good shot of him. He did so good this time! Only took 2.5 years ;) I hope this is a sign of him getting older and actually not minding having his picture taken! He is such a sweet, sweet little boy. 

After pictures, we ate lunch. We were all so so so stuffed! Everything was delicious. We didn't even clean up afterwards. We all went outside to hide the eggs for Adalyn and Landon. They had a great time hunting for them!





The rest of the afternoon was spent outside. Landon helped my uncle mow and he ended up falling asleep so my mom held him while they sat underneath the shade in the swing. 


Adalyn actually fell asleep outside as well sitting on Adam's lap. So they each had a nice cat-nap while we were outside. While they napped, Autumn and I sat out in the sun to bake.

Once they were up, we continued to play! And of course take lots of pictures.




This is SO Landon. A boy and their sticks. I love watching him. He said to me, "I'm building a castle out of sticks momma!"

This was a surprise for the kids. Erin bought a dozen of these "confetti" eggs from Kroger. I had never seen them before and they were so cool! They looked like a real egg and broke like a real egg as well. When you shattered the egg, tons of confetti came falling out. It was so fun! They had a blast with it.

(Yes, her shorts are undone. Her brand new, size 6 shorts from Carter's my mom bought for her last week are too small! This girl will be bigger than me in no time)

They got Granddaddy pretty good!









I forgot to post this from when we first got there after Church. 

Adalyn flying her Kite.

and how fitting is this image? I looked up and saw what looked to be a cross from an airplane. So neat!

We walked to the creek, took a walk down the road, played ball with the kids and then Adam, Casey, Autumn and I played "Pepper" for the longest time. It has been so long since Adam and I played and it was so much fun. I haven't moved around that fast or that much since my ball playing days in high school. We left around 7:15 and headed home. We, as in Adam and I, were exhausted! Adam bathed the kids when we got home and I unpacked and fixed them something to eat. We watched a few minutes of TV before putting the kids down for the night. Adam and I followed soon after! So so tired! 

It was a wonderful day and I'm so thankful to have spent it with my family.

I didn't blog about our Easter in 2010 because I wasn't on the blogging band wagon then. Adalyn was around 5 months and I can assure you she looked precious in her coral dress and sandals. :) And if you noticed from my other Easter blog entries, I always try to color coordinate! ;) I hate I don't have a picture of Adalyn's 1st Easter on my blog. I may try to upload it later once I can locate it on my computer!

2011- Pregnant with Landon! 

2012- Look at my babies! Adalyn was 2 and Landon was 6 1/2 months

2013-kids were growing and getting some hair!
Adalyn was 3 and Landon was 18 months


HAPPY EASTER!
