What have we been doing?

I don't know what we have been up to...things have been really busy but I am not sure what we are accomplishing!

Today Addison and I planted flowers outside while Landon took a nap!  Sunday we had Vollen's 3rd Birthday (how can it be that he is three??)  You have to check out the Schlueter's blog....Casie threw the cutest train birthday!!  Way to go Case!

We went to the zoo on Saturday with some friends...there are the cutest little baby giraffes there.  Two of them! I think everyone should come and see them!!  They also just opened the NEW aquarium.  It is complete with touch pools!  (geez I should get a commission!!)  It is a great place and we have a season pass....all are welcome!

The weeks have been busy with Addi's school, swimming lessons, dance all the normal stuff. I will add some photos to get everyone up to speed with our happenings!

Bill is now in an apartment...he still doesn't have his household goods but they are coming. Thank God for technology.  We get to see him quite a bit when we do "facetime" and get to talk to him almost everyday. There isn't a day that goes by that Addison doesn't say sometime that she misses him.  Bill gave Addi a globe with the Disney castle in it and she likes to play that so she can "Remember of Daddy".  We LOVE YOU BILL and think of you every day!


These are two photos that I took at a photography class....it was a neat class and I learned a lot...the pictures aren't great cause I was more concerned about learning but they are Addi and Landon so of course they are cute!!

Pizza and movie night...

HOW COULD I FORGET??

It was a rainy, stormy day in Omaha and Landon took a power nap in the morning so his and Addison's naps didn't match up.  So he was awake and I was still working on a few things so I thought....what a great idea I will put some beans in a cake pan and he can drive his trucks through them.  He had a great time!  The pan didn't even end up on the floor to my amazement.  Well, when Addi woke up she wanted to play too.  By this time I was cooking dinner so I had one eye on them but was making dinner.  I look over to see Landon with a finger up his nose.  OH BOY.....it was at that minute that it hit me...I was the dumbest mom in the entire world and I SO knew better!  I freaked out thinking that Landon put a bean up his nose.  I called the nurses line where they kinda laughed at me and she said that they were just talking about "up the nose stories".  Great now I was one of them!  The nurse called me back and the worst case scenario was a sinus infection.  Way better than I was expecting.  I still followed him around trying to peer up his nose with a flashlight all night but I wasn't quite as worried.  When I asked him if he put a bean up his nose he told me every time very concisely "NO!"  He had to go in for a recheck for an ear infection so we had the Dr check his nose too....she didn't think there was a bean up there....and wasn't sure he could get a bean up there I guess he has little nostrils.
moral of the story....USE RICE even if it goes up the nose it won't get stuck!
