Happy 2nd Birthday Landry! ~ April 22, 2012

Landry has birthday parties that most kids dream about...

"If we didn't have birthdays,
you wouldn't be you.

If you'd never been born,
well then what would you do?

If you'd never been born,
well then what would you be?

You might be a fish!
Or a toad in a tree!

You might be a doorknob!

Or three baked potatoes!



You might be a bag full of
hard green tomatoes.

Or worse than all that...
Why you might be a WASN'T!

A Wasn't has no fun at all.
No, he doesn't.

A wasn't just isn't.
He just isn't present.

But you...You ARE YOU!
And, now isn't that pleasant!

Today you are you!
That is truer than true!

There is not one alive
who is you-er than you!

Shout loud,
"I am lucky to be what I am!"

Thank goodness I'm not just
a clam or a ham.

Or a dusty old jar of
sour gooseberry jam!

I am what I am!

That's a great thing to be!

If I say so myself,

Happy Birthday To ME!"

(Happy Birthday to You! ~ By Dr. Seuss)

We love you Landry! 

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Party Prep

The week before Landry's party we helped Loren and Chad

get ready for the event!  (It was an EVENT by the way) 

I really think my sister should quit and start her own party planning

business (you'll see why when I get caught up).  We met them at

Papa and Grammie's house for dinner and to work.

While we were waiting on everyone to get there, Lola, Landry, and Papa

played in the new boat.  Landry wanted to drive and for Lola to come.

Landry was kissing Lola's head; so sweet. 

 Papa's girls!

Landry looks so big with her hair up like this!

Landry was excited when her mommy arrived!

We went inside to eat.  This was before...

and after...

Can you guess what we ate?

Landry's FAVORITE...

SPAGHETTI!

Then the boys got busy building a "fence" for the party.



They look just a like!



Good job boys!  It was perfect for the party.  (Party pictures to follow soon!)

4 Months Old ~ April 18, 2012

You are 4 months old today!

You weigh about 13 pounds.

You are in size 2 diapers and wearing 3-6 month clothes.

You are sleeping through the night still,

and eating five times every day.

You LOVE to be outside, and when you get a little fussy

we just take you outside and you calm down!

You are becoming so observant of everything around you.

You try very hard to get those fingers in your mouth,

but I take them out usually and give you the pacifier.

You laugh and smile all the time unless you are hungry or HOT.

You grab my hair and face while I'm feeding you.

You love your little blanket.  When we give it to you,

you grab it with both hands and pull it up to your face.

You love to hear music and for us to sing to you.

You like to play in the floor and roll from your back to your

belly and just recently from your belly to your back!

We love you so much!  You are the light in our lives!

Lake Trip - Part 2

On Saturday, the boys went fishing and the girls dyed Easter eggs. 

Lola wasn't real sure what we were doing, so Landry tried to explain.

 They waited patiently as we figured out how to mix it!

On Saturday afternoon we found out about an Easter egg hunt at

one of the landings at the lake, so we took the girls down to check it out.  

We took pictures with the Easter bunny and Landry found eggs. 

It was a little interesting, but I'll just let the pictures do the talking.
