Landon crawls!

Today Landon learned to crawl. It started as more of a scoot crawl, but he can get to where he wants to go. It's cute really! He'll be keeping up with Landry (who has been crawling about a month) in no time. Soon enough, they'll be going in two different directions, and I'll have a real problem on my hands. Addison is already the "What is in your mouth?" police! What a good big sis!

Family Pics!

Ok, so I do family pics all the time. The babies are growing and I don't want to miss anything!!! Here are shots from our recent session:

Sorry for the mass pics! There were too many cute ones to choose from and the kids are so darn eat em' up cute! Squishy babies, gotta love them!

Prayers for a Little Man

Houston Livestock and Rodeo! Yee Haw!

It's that time of year! Every year we head to the Houston Rodeo. In years past, I have seen the rodeo and then the concert that follows, now we head to the carnival!

The big slide. Addie loved it. She really loved the Mega slide with David. She got winded walking up though.

Addison's first ride by herself and friend she met in line.

Hey!

Hidin' out in the clown's barrel.

A true cowboy (from the swamp).

Everyone loves to roll down the hill.

Feeding the goat. Addie would only feed the baby goats.

Shortly before she wanted to bail. The deer kept chewing her dress.

Real girls drive tractors!

So proud to be on a John Deer!

Playdate!

The kids and I headed over to my friend Leslie's house for some playtime. Addison had fun dressing up with Taylor, Landry enjoyed crawling around with Ryan and Landon just enjoyed hanging out. Landon was happy to play with trucks and requested that he get some of his own. So, we sent David to the store and now Landon owns some of his own trucks!!!

Landry playing dress up with Leslie's tutu and bow. Leslie has mad bow and tutu making skills!

It was difficult to get them in the same frame, but here are Landry and Ryan!

Leslie and lil' man Landon! He almost looks like he can stand, NOT!

Taylor in all things pink!

Addison in all things green!

Before the wedding with sister Debbie and mom

It took us five years to get a song, but we have one now. Well, actually we've been together for eight years. Good things come to those who wait! It is the song that concludes our wedding video, so it's been there the whole time, it just took us five years to realize it.



Here's to the next five!!!

Eight Months!

We have come a long way in such a short time. Landry and Landon both weigh at least 17 pounds. Landry crawled the other day for the first time. She didn't go far, but she figured it out! Landon is moving a lot more now. He rolls and turns all over the place. He has gotten up on all fours a few times. Both babies love fruit. Landon REALLY likes pears. Neither like green beans and peas. Major gag-fest on the green veggies. Well, they do like avocado! YUM! Landon's top teeth are coming in and Landry is getting her first bottoms! Landry is sitting up and Landon still topples over. He's rubber band man! Landon has had an ear infection for about six weeks now and is on his third antibiotic. Hopefully his hearing is intact. He doesn't seem to respond well to loud noises or his name. Maybe he's just ignoring me. Something to get checked out further at the nine month well-baby for sure. I'm fine if he's ignoring me, I would ignore me too sometimes!!! Landry's trying to pick up some puffs, but she doesn't quite have the pointer thumb grasp yet. It's fun to try though! Landon holds his bottle. This is such a nice thing!

Look What I Can Do!

Addison started gymnastics about two months ago. She loves it. She is the youngest in her class. They do back bends and she couldn't do them. I can't show her how to do one because I can't do one to save my life. My friend Shelly can whip out a back bend. She was a gymnast though, and I was a swimmer. We didn't stretch! Anyway, Addison has this fierce determination (not sure where she gets that) and has been working and working on learning to do this. Well, last week she figured it out and has been showing them off ever since! Good for you Addison Kate! Mommy's so proud!
