The diagnosis is....

Last night after we got ready for bed Landon got sick, really sick.  He was up for hours running to the bathroom.  It was so bad that he knew he would not be able to go to school in the morning.  I felt so bad as he told me what was wrong with him.  "I was taking my shower when Van snuck in (always happens) and plugged the bath then he put in bubbles.  Some of the bubbles got into my mouth and now they are stuck in my stomach.  The bubbles just keep coming up into my mouth and I have to run to the bathroom to spit them out into the sink."  Wow Landon, I can't believe you have bubble disease good thing it goes away when you sleep.  He got up this morning feeling great but he needed the day off.  I hyped him up told him he would have extra time on the play ground if we left fast and off we went.  He held it together until he got in the car and the tears began.  Poor Landon just can not stop talking, he better learn.  Can't wait to see what tonight and tomorrow brings.  

1st day of school

Today was Landon's first day of school.  He was so excited to start kindergarten he said bye and ran right on to the playground.  I was so surprised when I picked him up and the excitement was GONE.  He of course got in trouble for talking when his teacher was talking, no surprise; he was not upset by that at all actually I think he was proud.  He was upset that there was no toys, no snacks, and she told the class to drink there drinks slowly.  He was not impressed by the coloring sheet she gave him it was boring and she has a lot of rules.  When I asked him what his favorite thing was he said "well, pretty much nothing"!  I had to talk him into going back tomorrow.  This could be a long year.

He did have a blast going school shopping and he does have good taste in cloths!

When we got home I told Van that he was now the big boy of the house and let him pick what he wanted to do.  He stripped down and run up stairs as fast as he could to take a huge bubble bath.  I was not expecting that to be his answer and by the time I got Gunner out of his seat and up to check on him it was for sure a HUGE bubble bath.  He had so many bubbles in it that they started coming out of my down stairs toilet!

Take me out to the Ball Game

Landon loves his new baseball stuff.  I love that they are spending some boy time in the back yard together. 

So Much Summer Time  Fun :) 

Now I just need to get him on a team.

Bubble YUM!

When I am driving and Van is not talking/yelling demands for the radio or yelling at Landon and Gunner I know I am going to turn around and find some thing....

Yup, this time he had snuck into the bubble gum and help himself to the whole thing!

Here is a few Van facts from the month...

*Van believes that while we all wait in the very occupied public restroom for him to do his business he needs to keep everyone informed on how it is going in the stall.  When you tell him to hurry up because we are tired of waiting he very loudly says

"I am trying to get a big poop out so that it can make a HUGE splash"!

Embarrassing

*When he is making me crazy and in hopes of changing the moment I said I love you Van and he replies with

"I LOVE DADDY"

Thank you that really helped

*When you take him to the splash pad and says I will not share this spot with that boy he is serious and it gets a little ugly.

Thanks for pushing my buttons and making me crazy life would be a bore without you! 

12*JULY*2010

Happy Birthday Landon and Me!

We filled your room up with some balloons for a morning surprise and you got up came in my room and said

"why is there balloons in my room"

for your birthday, happy birthday

"oh okay let me take the pink ones out"!

We fixed that problem and then my goal for the day was to not go in the kitchen on my birthday so off we went to Dunkin Donuts. 

Landon you walked in and said

"I need FIVE chocolate sprinkle donuts"!

Grandma Merkley took you for some fun Landon shopping.

For lunch we went to the Farm grill for some free lunch--yum yum

Then we went for a little me shopping--fun fun

Then home to get Dad. 

You planned your birthday night and what else....

Peter Piper Pizza for a lot of games and some pizza!

You have been showing a lot of interest in baseball so we got you all the necessities and of course Van got a glove to. 

It was a great night the only thing missing was the ice cream but we promised to take you this weekend when I am feeling up to eating some cold stone birthday ice cream with you.  Thanks Landon for sharing your birthday with me it was fun!

Birthday Parties

I feel totally spoiled after last weekend, I have been so lazy and I have to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped me pick up the slack.  I never got around to planning Landon a birthday party so my mom had everyone over for a delicious dinner and Rachel made our cakes.  I LOVED them!  Yes, she made two she didn't want Landon and I to share our birthday cake.  Mine was oh so good and the perfect cake for me it was a guess purse.  It not only looked amazing but it tasted amazing to, chocolate my favorite!

Landon's was Gothem City.  He was so EXCITED when he saw it and so was Van.  I had to sit in front of the fridge to keep them out.  His was an Oreo cake and it to was AMAZING!  Thank you so much Rachel. 

Of course we followed up with present opening.  Thanks everyone for the great night we had so much fun. 

We were spoiled again with another delicious dinner and gifts Sunday night at the Merkley's house.  It was another night of fun but I forgot to get my camera out :(

When I Grow Up.....

Wow Landon I can't believe that on Monday you turned five!  I am so glad that you are mine.  You are an Awesome, Adventurist, Smart, Helpful, Outgoing Boy!  You are so good to share your toys, play, and teach Van everything you know.  You help with Gunner when I do or don't need it :)  We LOVE you and hope you have an amazing year! 

When you grow up you want to be a super hero not a fireman but I love the picture anyway.  You are one tough kid!!
