teeth and landon talking

Landon recently has really started enjoying playdoh. He loves to take cookie cutters and make different animals, shapes, etc with the playdoh. I found a dentist playdoh kit at a garage sale and of course Llon jumped in on the fun right away. Here are some pics of Llon teaching Landon about teeth and where they go in the mouth.

For those who have been around Landon know that Landon loves to talk. Here are 2 videos of him repeating words that mom and dad are saying. My favorite is yellow bus...everytime we are in the car he asks to see a yellow bus and gets so excited when he sees one. The other night in bed he was talking himself to sleep and mentioned yellow bus and started laughing (we love hearing his conversations at night thru the monitor). The other thing on one of these videos is Landon and Llon playing a game that Llon made up..it's called 'Oh Know'. Sometimes I hear Landon, thru the monitor, playing this game with his stuffed animals, when he is suppose to be napping. Makes me laugh everytime. :)

Landon's Birthday Party

Landon had his 2nd bday party a couple of weekends ago. We had gone to the party store a couple of mths ago to figure out what his party theme was going to be. Guess what the boy picked out...sharks. Which I'm totally fine with, but it is really hard to find happy sharks. I mean I couldn't do the mean...live looking sharks for a 2 yr old party (especially when most of his guests are younger than him :) ). So I did the best I could...it was more of an under the sea party. But the cake was a shark...which he loved! Now everytime he has cake he says..shark cake.



Here he is showing off his shark tatoo.


swim party in our backyard...this is a view from our deck.

Loving the cupcake...Landon wanted the shark cake and a cupcake.

We all had a good time visiting and watching the kiddos play. I can't believe by baby is 2! He is growing up too fast. For those of you who don't know we are expecting baby number 2 March 8. We are all excited and can't believe we're doing this all over again. We had an ultra sound around 8wks and the heartrate was 133. Landon was 137 (if I'm remembering correctly)...so I'm predicting another boy. Which is great...we can get bunkbeds!! A girl would be great too...we just pray for a healthy baby.

Happenings in July

A few weeks ago the Niswangers asked a few of the guys to play in a Chiefs charity game. Rudy coached them and brought home the victory. The guys had such a great time and Landon had the best of time. There were a few other kids there that just played and played with Landon. Here is a picture of Rudy caring Landon during the game...Landon so badly wanted to go and play.



Here is daddy and Landon standing next to the championship trophies.

Here are our guys.

We had a few play dates in July...here are Ernie and Landon eating a snack before some of the kiddos get there.

Llon has been playing softball with the guys from school on Thursday nights. Here is Landon playing with one of his friends, Rory at the game. They had lots of fun going up and down this ramp.

Here is Landon cheering on daddy.

Here is Landon's big boy room. He still likes to drive his hot wheels on the wall every now and then.
