Spring Had Sprung!

...and we are loving it!!!!

P.S. I think I have the cutest little boys in the whole entire world.

Learning

I got a super good deal on three different learning books a few months ago. I finally got them out last night and I helped Landon do about about 10 pages. Each page had him practice writing a letter of the alphabet and then he filled in the blank on the bottom of the page to spell out simple works like dog, car, and apple. He had SO much fun doing this. It was just as fun for me to watch things click in his head as he figured things out. I always knew I had such a smart little boy but I think if we work with him, he will be reading in no time. Watch out Harvard, here we come!!!! ;)

Easter 2011

The night before Easter, after Carter had gone to bed, Landon and I colored Easter eggs. He could hardly contain himself, waiting for the eggs to boil. He loves watching the water turn from white to color after you drop in the little tablet. His favorite is using the little egg holder and stirring the cup after the egg has been placed.

Easter was a really special one this year. Landon now gets the concept of the true meaning of Easter. He sang in sacrament at church with the other primary children and it is so fun to see their sweet little spirits.

Unfortunately, I did not get pictures of the kids with their baskets from the Easter Bunny. They each received a few eggs with M&M's inside, bubbles, Legos for Landon and a Thomas Train in a big egg for Carter. The boys right before church in their new pink polos. They looked SO handsome!!

After church, we headed over to my parents where my mom cooked a yummy Easter dinner. Then we headed to Salt Lake to see my grandparents. We always have a good time visiting and the boys just adore their Pa-Pa Red Truck!

A perfect Sunday Easter!

Easter Egg Hunt

My mom's neighborhood has an annual Easter egg hunt egg. Since we have moved here, we have not missed one yet! Since Landon had a soccer game, we missed the first couple of houses but he jumped right in. Carter stayed with Grandma, Cody, and Brittany and they helped him get started. At each house that participates, the kids get to find 2 eggs. I thought it was so sweet that Landon got 2 eggs for Evie who was sitting in the wagon with her bucket. This is the first time Carter is old enough to participate and he had a blast!

22 Months!

Our baby boy turned 22 months old yesterday! Carter got a hair cut just for the occasion from his mama. I plopped him in front of the portable DVD player, turned on Toy Story and went to town. He looks SO handsome! After that, we went outside to play. Carter loves to be outside and tries to escape every chance he gets.

At 22 months old, Carter loves:

-His pacifier

-Blankies

-Anything Toy Story

-Cars and Trains

-Fruit snacks

-Animals or dogs (Pup pup!)

-Being outside

-Anything Landon is playing with

-Books

-making everyone around him laugh

We just love our Carter James! Can't believe you are almost two, little guy!

Baby Animals!

This week, my mom, Brittany +baby, Evie, Landon and Carter went to This Is The Place park where they were having baby animal days.

They saw baby piglets...

baby goats...

baby lambs...



baby bunnies...

and baby chicks!

After all the cute babies, Landon rode a pony...



and everyone took a train train.

Don't my kids have the best Grandma? I think it's awesome that she takes them out to do fun things so they are constantly learning and having fun. Plus, keeps her from going crazy at home with our two wild boys!

Sunday Stroll

Sundays are normally spent at my parents house. A few Sundays ago, the weather was way too nice to not be outside. We took the kids for a walk and they had so much fun! Carter and Evie had a great time in the wagon. They could of stayed out all night long. Landon was such a good helper, pushing the wagon and getting the toys for the babies as they dropped them :)

Soccer!

Last Saturday, Landon had his very first soccer game! Our little super star scored the first goal of the season along with two after that! He played like a champ, running around the field like he was born to do it! We didn't know how he would do since he had only had one mini practice with other kids but he did great! He was so eager to please his coach. After he kicked the ball, we heard him run up his coach and say "Was that a good kick coach?" So cute! We were so so proud of him! Everytime he or anyone else on his team would score a goal, he would run the the other end of the field with his hands in the air-it was hilarious! It was a very exciting day for us-we had been waiting to sign Landon up for soccer and we are so glad we did! Good job Landon!

Celebrating after Landons game at a pizza place!

After Landons first practice, he was out within a few minutes in the car. Practice ended around 7 and he slept ALL night coming out only once to go back to sleep on the floor. Yes, he slept in his soccer clothes.

Yay for soccer!!!!!
