Would You Like A Drink?

Landon was fascinated by this statue of a little girl. He went up to her, said "Hi!" and then offered her a drink. He even gave her a big hug and kiss!

Library Day

I took the kids to one of their favorite places this morning, the library. They had a great time gathering a lot of books to read.

We sat down at the table to read books because it was the only way I could prevent Landon from running around while squealing in delight! He couldn't figure out how to get out of the chair - that was the only reason he stayed there!

This is one of the many books Landon selected from the shelves.

The boys always love to look at the fish when we visit the library.

Bryce has always loved this little house at the library. It is part of our library routine to sit in it and read a few books.

I Love My Army Pajamas!

Bryce has been really into wearing camoflauge lately. He absolutely loves his new camoflauge pajamas and he calls himself "army guy" when he wears them.

This is a picture of Bryce pretending to be an "army guy rock star."

A Visit With Grandparents

We visited John's grandparents yesterday. The boys had a wonderful time and soaked up all of the attention given to them by their great grandparents!

Landon and great grandpa.

Bryce enjoyed listening to a book read to him by great grandma.

The boys LOVED their grandfather's John Deere tractor wagon! Bryce remembered the wagon from previous visits and couldn't wait to sit on it again.

Landon didn't want to get out!

An Evening Of Play

The boys enjoyed staying at home this evening to play. Bryce built a "Hess Gas Station" with his cars and trucks.

Landon wanted to be in the middle of the action at the Gas Station!

Landon had fun emptying the dishes out of the dishwasher then playing with them. It takes a VERY long time to load the dishwasher when Landon is helping.....we load it and he unloads it!

Haircut Day

It was haircut day for the boys today! Today was Landon's first professional haircut. He did well and surprisingly sat still while his hair was being cut. By the way, Bryce took this picture! I wanted to document this moment for Landon, but I had to hold him. So, I asked Bryce to take a few pictures!

Look At My Teeth

Landon has gotten several new teeth lately and many more are ready to break through his gums. If you look closely at his front right tooth, you will see a chip in the corner. Landon fell while playing at the train table last week and chipped a tooth. It matches Bryce's chipped front tooth!

Outside Playtime

Bryce played outside this afternoon while John did yard work. He had a great time hanging out with Dad and riding one of his bikes around the yard.

All Dressed Up

It was a beautiful morning today so we tried to take a few photos outside with the boys before we went to church. It didn't work out very well...the sun was too bright!

Landon would not stop moving long enough for us to take a picture. He is too busy!

Playing With Hunter and Wyatt

Cousins Hunter and Wyatt came over to our house last night to play. The boys had a great time playing and running around the house together. A tender moment between Bryce and Wyatt.

Bubbles!

Landon's favorite new activity is blowing bubbles. He is content blowing the bubbles himself or sitting on someone's lap as they blow the bubbles. When he sees a bubble, he says, "babowl."

Well Check Appointment

Today Landon had his 15 month well check visit (a month and a half late...oops!). He weighs 22 pounds, 10.6 ounces and is 31 1/2 inches long.

Landon was very busy during his appointment. He looks calm and peaceful during this photo, however, a few seconds later, he tried to jump off the table! When we were asked if we had any concerns about his health and development, we said, "Our main concern is keeping him from killing himself."

Landon received two shots at the appointment and, needless to say, he left the office as an unhappy little boy!

Make Your Own Pizza

Bryce and Landon had fun making their own pizza for lunch today. Today was Landon's first time eating pizza with cheese because we just discovered soy mozzarella cheese.

Landon enjoyed sampling the ingredients as much as he enjoyed making the pizza! He is eating the sauce in this picture.

In this picture, Landon is trying his cheese before he puts it on his pizza.

Pajama Day

Bryce was really excited when he woke up today and found out that we had no plans! He wanted to stay at home all day and play in his pajamas.

Another Hockey Game

We went to another Hershey Bears Hockey game this evening. Bryce had a great time because his cousins were there as well as our friends the Smeltzers. Bryce loved sitting next to Grant during the game.

When we first arrived at the game, Bryce and Grant went to the top row and watched the players warm up on the ice.

Landon, of course, got a lot of attention from Aunt Lisa and Emily.

We met Wes, Trina, Grant and Kenzie at Red Robin for dinner before we went to see the Bears play.

Silly Boys

The boys were being really silly this afternoon. It all started with Landon trying to wear my shoes. Bryce needed to get into the action so he found John's shoes and walked around the house with them on.

Fun At The Blast

We went to The Blast indoor playground this morning to play. We met Bryce's friend Grant there. Bryce and Grant had a great time climbing together and sliding down the slide. We took a break from playtime to have a snack. Emily was a super helper with Landon at The Blast. She climbed everywhere with him and even took him down the slide a few times!

A Sleepover With Emily

Cousin Emily had off from school today so she slept at our house last night. Emily read books to Bryce and Landon before they went to bed last night. Landon had a great time being pushed around in his car.

Happy Birthday Wally

We helped Wally celebrate his 69th birthday by taking him (and Molly) out to brunch today. Bryce especially loved his chocolate dessert! Wally cleaned all of the chocolate off of Bryce's face. It was a mess!
