Daredevil Landon

Landon loves to ride his bike down the cul de sac, which has a nice hill to it.  The faster the better according to Landon. 

Another Thanksgiving party....

Landon had his Thanksgiving party.  They dressed up as Indians, and named themselves.  Landon was a Blue T-Rex Indian, haha!  They sang a few songs, although Landon wanted nothing to do with the songs.  Then ate some yummy lunch.  Up on the wall they all made tail feathers to a Turkey with what they are thankful for.  

"Landon is thankful for his boat (at the lake), and his little car"

Taking a minute to play with his little brother

They all drew their Indian names on the back of them, see Landons Blue T-Rex

Introducing the Indians

Singing songs ( or not )

and a YUMMY lunch

Thanksgiving Play

Jaedyn had her Thanksgiving Play this week.  Adam, Tanner & I went and she did a great job.  The sang a few songs, had a little play that they did.  Most of the kids were just so excited to be standing up on stage in front of their parents.  So was Jaedyn.  After wards, we went back to the classroom for a little potluck brunch.  After wards, you could check your child out, or they could stay and watch Toy Story 3 and do a few fun things.  Jaedyn of course wanted to stay, and had a great time.

Blue eyes

I love my sweet little Tanner.  To make things even better, he has the prettiest crystal blue eyes.  I guess they say, third time is the charm. 

Free Holiday Cards

Just for telling all of you about the wonderful products they have to offer, Shutterfly is giving me 50 FREE holiday cards!!!   I am very excited.  This time of year rolls around, and I start to stress about getting cards out.  I'm going to take my kids pictures in front of the fire place this year.  But, at least I know where I am getting my cards from this year.  I love getting things done early, and Shutterfly is definitely helping me get that done.  

I have been signed up with Shutterfly for a while, but for no reason in particular, don't have much ordering history with them.  I continue to get emails with all kinds of great offers, however, and I always love browsing through their products.  They have an amazing line of cards to offer this holiday season.  I can't believe how many designs there are to choose from!  Go HERE to check them out.  You can choose from stationary cards, photo cards, or folded greeting cards.  And it probably goes without saying, but all of them can be personalized.  I'm quite particular when it comes to just the right design that I'm looking for, but it looks like I won't be disappointed with Shutterfly's options!

Shutterfly also has many great holiday gift ideas available.  What Grandma wouldn't LOVE staring at pictures of her grandkids everytime she refers to her calendar?!  And photo calendars always serve as a great conversation piece when friends are over (again, what Grandma doesn't jump at the chance to brag talk about her kids and grandkids?!).  Click HERE to see the beautiful calendar templates.

Then, if you're REALLY on top of things, they already have their Valentine's Day card designs available to choose from!  They have some super cute designs.  Look at those HERE.

Thanks for AMAZING products and an AMAZING deal Shutterfly!

You're welcome!  :)

Another Hair Cut

No, not Tanner again.  This time Jaedyn.  I had to take a couple inches off her hair.  She loves gum, but just isn't quite responsible enough to chew it.  The other day she got it stuck in her hair, I got most of it out, but the hair just wasn't the same afterwards.  Even after washing it a few times, the hair was still sticky and brittle.  So, she decided we could cut a few inches off to make it look pretty again. 

BEFORE:

AFTER:

We now have a rule, no more gum.  She gets it at Church sometimes, she must spit it out before leaving Church.  :)

No more training wheels....

For Jaedyn at least.  The other day she was riding her bike, and her training wheels were barely touching the ground.  I asked her if she wanted me to take them off?  She was a little hesitant, but then got excited.  She barely needed any instruction from me, and off she went.  Much easier than I thought it would be to teach her.  Her poor (older) friends in the cul de sac really want to ride with out their training wheels also.  They are still learning how.  Landon wants to take his training wheels off too.  We've told him, he has to be five.

A Pink Birthday Cake

Last week our friends drove through Atlanta & had a chance to stay with us a little bit.  It was the day before this cuties 3rd Birthday, which would be spent in the car for 14 hours.  So mom wanted to have a birthday cake for her.  I am not a cake maker, but this little cutie has been my little buddy since she was a tiny baby.  She has spent a lot of Sacrament meetings in my lap & many evenings as well.  She was excited for her cake, saying.... Is that for me?

 

Hair Cut

Tanner got his first hair cut the other day.  He had some really long hairs, that when we took his hat off or he was in the car seat were crazy.  So I trimmed him up and he is even more handsome.  ;)

It's getting colder out...

So lately I have been making my cute little guy wear a hat.  He doesn't mind most of the time, and looks so cute in them.

The Home Depot Workshop

This month at Home Depot the work shop was a spice rack.  It doubles as a place to put match box cars for Landon though.  I realize, I somehow forgot to take a picture of the finished product.  Probably because this was just an "ok" build.  The kids had the same fun time building it, but the end result wasn't as exciting as some.

Tanners new trick

The other day Tanner started climbing off the bed, all by himself.  He thinks he is hot stuff now.
