Landon had his first dentist appointment today. Bryce had his teeth cleaned first and Landon had a front row seat to watch! Bryce did a great job showing Landon exactly what to do when it was his turn.
We were really surprised at how well Landon did at the dentist office. He opened his mouth nice and wide.
Uncle Jeff took the boys for a tractor ride today. Bryce was the first one to go for a ride and he loved it!
Of course Landon wanted a ride too!
Bryce went to Vacation Bible School this past week. It was an awesome camp and Bryce had a great time!
This evening, the kids sang all of the songs they learned during the week. 
Aunt Lynne and I took Bryce, Landon, Hunter and Wyatt to the library today for a reptile show.
Wow! Hunter wrapped up in a snake!
Wyatt had no reservations about having the snake crawl over him. He loved it!
All of the kids (minus Bryce) were able to hold the longest snake.
Bryce finally felt brave enough to touch a snake with his finger!
We went to my cousin Becky's house today to visit and for the kids to play together. They had a great time being together and they are looking forward to the next playdate!
A new playground opened last month at our local park. It was designed to be used by children of all abilities. We are so excited to have a playground that all kids can use! In this picture, Bryce and Landon are playing with the misting area. We have yet to leave the park dry because they like to stand in the water until they are soaked!
Love the musical area.
There are so may cool areas within the playground to explore!
We met John at his office this afternoon and went out to lunch together. It was great to see him during the day!
We had a yummy lunch at the John Wright restaurant, which overlooks the Susquehanna River.
After lunch we went back to John's office to meet all of his co-workers.
We went to Bryce's elementary school today for a special activity at the library. The kids participated in a few art projects then reserved library books. Bryce was a great big brother to Landon and he showed Landon where all of the good books were located on the shelves. We are so glad that Bryce will still be at this school when Landon begins kindergarten.
My friend Mell and I took our children to the Hands On House, which is a children's museum. The kids had a blast playing together. After we wore the kiddos out, we went to Qudoba for lunch.
Here they are collecting their harvest of corn. Hands on House provides an outlet for great imaginary play.
Bryce, Landon and Meghan checked out the factory conveyor belt.
Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum. Frick and Frack. So many words to describe these two spitfires who can light up a room with their energy and unravel every one of their mommies' nerves at the same time! Meghan and Landon will certainly grow up to be strong, assertive adults! Until that time arrives, the mommies need a lot of prayers for patience!
We stayed in a hotel in Ocean City that had birds and fish in the lobby. Every morning, Bryce and Landon went to the lobby to help the caregiver feed the animals. In this picture, Bryce is feeding the birds dried fruit and peanuts.
Landon also liked to feed the birds peanuts.
Landon much preferred to feed the fish over the birds. He would sit at the side of the pond and throw in the food, waiting anxiously for the fish to come to him.
John took the boys to Assateague Island to see all of the animals that live there. Bryce and Landon really liked seeing the horses walk by so closely to them!
We went to Ocean City, Maryland for vacation this year. They boys loved being on the beach and spending time in the sand.
Landon is the theatrical member of our family. He makes many funny faces and he has even more funny noises to accompany the expression. Here are a few!
We have been dog sitting Midge, who belongs to my sister's friend Diane. Our entire family has completely and totally fallen in love with Midge! If we could adopt her, we would!
John is a huge animal lover so he really enjoyed playing with Midge and taking care of her!
Emily wanted to celebrate her birthday during the summer with her friends so she had a Luah theme party today. Since I will never be able to plan a party for a girl, I asked if I could help her. We went shopping for supplies together and planned the activities.
The boys played together while the girls enjoyed the party!
Bryce, Landon and their cousins went to AC Moore today to participate in a craft activity. They made Silly Band holders.
Hunter, Wyatt and Uncle Jeff came over after we left AC Moore. The boys played for a few hours and ate dinner together.
I recently bought a face painting kit so I can begin face painting during the boys' birthday parties. They were excited for me to get started so we tested out a few designs today. The design on Bryce's face is a tribal design. I need a lot of practice before I can begin painting designs on kids who aren't my children!
