Four

Landon woke up on his birthday to his favorite breakfast -- pancakes! Daddy made them special just for him -- a Mickey Mouse and a 4. He was so happy!
The next day we celebrated at Chuck E. Cheese with Papa who turned 50!

Landon requested a Jack Skellington cake. :)

We had lots of fun celebrating. I love Landon so much and love watching him grow up. He is so much fun and just loves life!!!

Landon time

The other day Landon was kinda having a sad day. So after Cailyn went to her friend's house to play and the boys went down for a nap, we had some Mommy/Landon time. First he wanted to put together puzzles and color pictures. Then we made some brownies from scratch. He LOVED pouring in the "chocolate power" (aka: cocoa powder) and he loved getting to lick the entire bowl by himself. He is such a funny kid and I enjoyed spending some one-on-one time with my sweet little guy! :)

Gardening

The kids & I spent Saturday planting a vegetable garden. They helped me plan, pick out plants & seeds and plant everything. They also really wanted to plant some flowers in our yard. I let them each pick out one type of flower and pick a spot in the yard for them. Landon picked out some yellow & red flowers. (Don't ya just love his moon boots?!)Cailyn picked out some dragon flowers (aka: snap dragons).
Hopefully the bunnies will leave our garden alone long enough for our seeds to grow so we can enjoy some tasty home-grown veggies! :)

Nap Time

I snapped some pics the other day as the boys woke from their naps. Jacob was awake and was throwing his blanket overboard -- their favorite thing to do when they wake up!He was in such a good mood. :)

Owen was still sleeping but I had to pick up Landon from school so I had to wake him up. Never a fun task.
And he wasn't too happy about having a camera & flashed shoved in his face as he was trying to wake up. :P

Brothers

Landon got all cuddled up on the couch with Jacob as they watched some early morning cartoons. He told me to "take a picture Mommy!" so how could I refuse? I love that he loves his brothers. And that he can FINALLY tell them apart now, too. :)

St. Patrick's Day

Yesterday morning some sneaky little leprechauns snuck into our house and left the kids some chocolate coins and other green snacks. Then for breakfast we made some rainbow pancakes. Don't they look so pretty just heatin' up on the grill?
Cailyn was so giddy with excitement. "This is so much fun!" she giggled. :) She did, however, ask why I didn't do Indigo!
Landon was totally mesmerized by the process and loved seeing all the colors. BUT he wouldn't take ONE. SINGLE. BITE! He was too weirded out by the fact that his pancakes were colored. So he settled for some Lucky Charms instead, which works equally as well for St. Patrick's Day. :)

Owen.

Owen is in a category all his own. He is SO different from all my other kids. He is such a ham and always goes at things full force. He is such a goofball!

The other day I put him down for a nap. He wouldn't fall asleep and so I went to peek in to see what he was doing and found him like this, just chilling in his crib with his legs hanging out.Owen LOVES to climb. He has a sixth sense for knowing when someone gets out of their chair, even for a second, and he goes straight for the chair and up onto the table. The other day I found him chomping down on Landon's corn dog.

If there is something to climb in, on, or over, Owen will find it. Lately his favorite hang out is the kitchen table. He likes to climb up there and watch TV. Such a funny kid!
