Scissor Trouble...

Bill and I went up with Addison to put her to bed and found quite a little mess. Addison had cut her dolls hair. It is the barbie head doll that you are supposed to do her hair....do it...not cut it! And we have been talking about hair cuts because I have one scheduled and we need to schedule one for Addison...but we weren't expecting that!

A Super FUN Weekend!

We had a great weekend. One of the last free weekends for awhile. On Saturday morning we went to the zoo....just so happens that it was conagra's company picnic...great! But it was still fun. A little crowded but not bad. It is so great being able to just go for a couple of hours and then go home! Landon loved the fish today. I think it was something that he could finally see all of being in the stroller.

On Sunday after church Addi and I had a girls afternoon. We went looking for a new outfit for the first day of school. And I was informed early on that it had to be a dress. So we go to the Gap and are looking around...they had a cute tank top...I showed Addi and asked her what color she liked...yellow, purple or blue. Well, she told me that she had to hold them up..then that wasn't good enough..she had to try them on. So she went into the dressing room and wouldn't let me come in "I will do it myself". So a few minutes pass and I check on her..."Mom I need another one of these (and she points to the strap)." It made sense because it was a halter style tank top. She stood in front of the mirror and posed with her hands on her hips...years flashed before my eyes! I am SO not ready for all that yet! We had a great afternoon out. Then when we came home we played outside with Daddy! I ADORE my family and feel truly blessed!

Addison saw that Bill was wearing a visor and had to go and get hers...it was pretty cute!

Addi has crazy long legs!

Our happy little man! Landon has had a bit of a fever...I think he might be getting teeth. He also had some sort of reaction to his shots. He has some antibiotic so hopefully all will be well!

Orientation at School

Addison, Landon and I headed back to the Millard Foundation Preschool this morning. It was just for orientation today! We got to meet our teacher which is going to be Mrs. Ziemba again. With all the date changes and such we decided that we would put Addison in preschool again and then next year she could do pre-K then kindergarten. It will get a little messed up too with the move in the middle too. But it will get sorted out. It was fun to be back but it was sad too because Sophie and Mitchell are in other classes. It was strange not seeing Case and Renee there. I saw them afterward but it was still strange. Addison seems to have a great class...of 7 girls and 3 boys. I am excited for the year! What happened to my little girl? She looks SO OLD!

Lovin' making silly faces!

One cute little girl!

My Birthday!

I didn't blog about my birthday! I had a great day! We had some friends over, did a little swimming, a little BBQing and it was lots of fun. We had SO much cake....which isn't a bad thing of course! It was great to hang out with friends and of course I was spoiled by my family! Bill bought my favorite cake and gave me really fun running shirts and headbands! After all that cake I'm gonna need a few runs!

We had some sparklers that Bill bought for 4th of July that we never used. I don't remember ever doing sparklers so it was fun to do them with Addison. She thought they were pretty cool! I was a little nervous but did okay!

Landon's Check-up

Today we had Landon's one year check up...everything was great! Addi had all kinds of words of wisdom for the Dr. "I got sick at my aunties house, I went to Cars with her...". She is such a chatter box but she was good little girl. She even got a goofy sticker before we left.

Tonight when Bill came home she told him, "Daddy should I tell you ALL about my day?" and Bill got the play by play (including the goofy sticker)!

Here are Landon's stats

Weight: 23 lbs 15 oz (63%)

Height: 31 inches (81%)

Head: 47.6 cm (81%)

He had to have four shots today but he did great!

Our Little Man's One Year Photo Shoot

SO, it has been on my to do list for weeks now and it is just now getting done. I am thankful that he is one and a couple weeks and not closer to two.

A big thanks to Grandma for the diaper cover and to Daddy for tying the tie!!

2 silly kiddos....pretty cute ones!

you can hear him in this picture!

This is Landon's signature at the moment...whenever Bill looks at him or says his name this is what he turns and does! Bill laughs every single time....both of them make me laugh!

Landon is one happy little boy....we are so lucky!

One Little Diva!

So, when I went to take pictures of Landon for his one-year photo shoot I had a jealous sister on my hands. So, we decided to take Landon's nap time and do a photo shoot of our little diva!

Our little model

This one screams "Daddy's Little Princess"

More Summer Fun!

Pontoon Time....it was Landon's first time on the pontoon too! He loved it just like I thought he would....he LOVES being outside! He is a natural when it comes to driving too:)

Landon's Birthday Party!!

We had a fun time on Saturday evening celebrating our happy One-year-old. It was fun to see lots of our family and friends! Here are a few shots from Landon's party!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON

Our little man turned one today!!!! It is REALLY hard to believe that it has been one year! Time has gone so fast! Landon is a very sweet, giggly, happy boy who loves to move! He is trying to walk and does so quite well with help. He will cruz on the furniture and pull himself up on anything (including the dog...poor Sidney). He loves to watch his sister and recently has really liked books. He opens them up and makes lots of sounds. He still doesn't say a whole lot. He will say Mama and Dada once and awhile but doesn't talk a lot. Probably cause he has a little girl who never stops talking!! He will tell us what a puppy says "woowoo" he says it in a whisper!


For Landon's first birthday we decided to go to Vikings Training camp. Although it isn't something he will appreciate now we hope that he will later! We had never been there before so we didn't know what was going on. We ended up getting in a line and it was for the autograph zone. We thought it opened 20 minutes before practice ended but we got there at 8:50 and were shuffled in line. We had to pick a player and then stay in that line. Bill picked the Vikings rookie quarterback Christian Ponder! We waited and waited and waited and at 11:30 they finished practice and came to the autograph area. We weren't too far back in line so we were able to get a ball signed for Landon, Bill got his shirt signed and Addi got a little card signed. Christian Ponder was super nice. When he heard something about a birthday he asked who's birthday it was...and we told him Landon's first birthday! And when I told Addi that this was the person we were going to watch throw the football on tv he just smiled and said, "I hope so." After a busy morning we left Mankato in route to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We celebrated a little giving Landon a cupcake! He surely liked his cake!

Daddy, Landon and Christian Ponder!

Addi getting her little card signed my Andre Holmes...yeah we didn't know who he was either! But who could resist that cute little cheerleader??

The Nesbitt Family dressed in their purple! Yeah Minnesota!!
