Cheezer

Davis lined up all of his cars this morning like this, and when I told him to smile for a picture, this is what I got:

 

He also sat down for this one, but it turned out a little blurry – still cute though:

Happy Birthday Landon!

I am almost a week late in posting this, but last week was Landon’s 5th birthday.  He has been very excited for weeks for his birthday.  On his actual birthday, we had pancakes for breakfast, macaroni and cheese for lunch, and we went to Spaghetti Factory for dinner (where he had macaroni and cheese again).  He was especially excited when they brought him rainbow ice cream with a candle in it and everyone around us in the restaurant sang happy birthday to him. 

Saturday, we had a birthday party with a couple of friends from church and preschool.  It was a Buzz Lightyear party, and I think the favorite was setting off the rockets (film canisters with alka-seltzer and water in them – thanks Mom!).  Overall, everything went well, although I was glad when it was all over!

 

Happy 5th Birthday Landon!

Mother’s Day

I went to post on our blog last night about our trip to Utah and our happenings this past week since I finally had a break from working, but I soon realized that my Mom and I had somehow switched cameras (they’re the same camera).  I do have a few pictures though of Mother’s Day and Saturday with my parents, so I thought I would post what I have and update more later. 

Friday night, my parents came up for the weekend to visit for Mother’s Day and for a little pre-birthday celebration for Landon.  We had fun miniature golfing and enjoying a picnic in the park (pictures coming).  The weather was beautiful!  Landon opened his presents from Grandma and Grandpa Morris – a bug habitat and a Lego Toy Story set.  Landon then had fun putting together his car with Grandpa and searching for bugs the rest of the weekend. 

                     

Since the weather was so nice, Shane even got outside and washed the car.  The boys wanted to go out and help him, so they took turns helping spray the car with the hose.

In fact, Shane pretty much spoiled me all weekend long.  He got up early Saturday and got our garden area all ready to plant next week, and then he washed the van.  Then on Sunday, he and my dad brought me and my mom breakfast in bed – yogurt parfait, cinnamon and orange rolls, fresh fruit, and orange juice.  What royal treatment!  There was even a vase of tulips on each tray!  He got the kids ready for church since he didn’t have his early morning meetings, and he got me this awesome body pillow to sleep with.  If you’ve never had one when pregnant, they are so great!  I slept so much better last night and was so much more comfortable (even if it so big that another person might as well be in bed with us).    I told Shane he shouldn’t have spoiled me like that because now I know what he’s capable of next Mother’s Day, and that puts the pressure on me for Father’s Day!  Landon made me a card that said he loves me because I buy him things and make him macaroni and cheese.  At least I know the way to a four-year-old’s heart!!!

Best of all, I got to spend most of my day with my own mom and dad, and my favorite boys, who make motherhood the joy that it is!
