Finally! Landon's Room!

Well thanks to Auntie Amy and Uncle Nate's generous birthday present for Mama Landon, his room is now complete! With the addition of the new quilt and an extra window valiance the room is completely done, Wooo-Hooo!
Landon was so excited to open his present~


It took me a while, but it is allll done, phew~


My favorite thing in Landon's room is this sign that reads "Boy, n: a noise with dirt on it." Boy is that ever true~

Close up of the painting that I did, alllll by myself! I added the stickers to match his bedding~


I also painted his old toy box and decorated it to match~


This picture of Landon and Daddy hangs near the door. My dear friend (and VERY talented photographer) Phil took this picture last year and I LOVE it so much! You can see more of his work here, here, and here!

Closet and dresser~

On this wall hangs the hat rack that Landon made a few months back.

Here he is SO excited about all the cars and trucks in his room. We sure do love our biggest boy!

I am SO happy with the way Landon's room turned out. I am not even going to attempt Brynne's room until we transition her into a big girl bed. I have a feeling she will be in her crib until she outgrows it. She has absolutely no interest in trying to climb out and is perfectly happy to be put in her crib. She will be 18 months in a few days and by 18 months Landon was out of his crib like a pro. Thankfully she is mild mannered and we don't have to worry about her trying to escape!
Next up...painting the outside of the house, laying sod in the backyard, and our bedroom! Geesh!

Wordless Wednesday!

Uh Oh...

A direct quote from Landon, while visiting my sisters house.
"Auntie, watch this, oh shit oh dammit, haha."
A direct quote from Mama (and Auntie) immediately after he said those words.
"LOL, LOL, LOL."
That's right, my almost 3 year old used 2 curse words in one sentence and all I could do was laugh. I'm a horrible mother!
The 2nd or 3rd time he repeated it I got down on my knees, looked him in the eye and gave him a serious warning about "Daddy's words, NOT Landon's words!"
I think it's time we give Sunday school another try...

Monday Rambling

Travis and I took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese's yesterday morning and met my parents for some play time. I didn't take any pictures on my camera, and Grandma and Grandpa have yet to email me theirs (Geesh, how rude huh?). We had a fun time at Chuck E. Cheese and afterwards we went to Toys R Us. As you all know Landon is turning 3 next week. He got a 'birthday card' in the mail from Geoffrey (the Toys R Us giraffe mascot) with a $3 gift card to spend on anything in the store. This was SO exciting for Landon and he couldn't wait to spend his money. He picked out a green tractor truck and Travis and I got him a scooter made for small children. Landon somehow figured out how to ride the scooter immediately with little instruction from dad. Besides a small, and painful, incident in which Landon ran into the back of Grandmas ankle he got the hang of it rather quickly! Since we got home last night, with the scooter, Landon has not been away from that toy. It amazes me how athletic he is, and how easily physical activity comes to him. Travis is the same way and is good at everything the first time he tries it. Our boy is definitely an athlete. I couldn't believe that Toys R Us sent Landon a gift card for his birthday. Travis says it worked!! We went in specifically to spend a free $3 gift card and ended up spending $50! Nice move Toys R Us!

Brynne got a new bottle for her baby and a stroller to push her dolls in~


...and speaking of Brynne, here she is looking sweet and innocent, with one little problem!


take a closer look!
Think the front looks bad...you should see the back!
It's safe to say that the scissors are locked safely away, way up high, never to be touched by Landon again!
