Our day

I had "big" plans for Landon and I today. I try really hard to make Tuesdays my day off from anything work related. Sometimes things don't go as planned and I learned today that can be ok. If you know me well you know I am a planner and can't stand it when things don't go as they should.
As I am getting Landon and I dressed to run out the door for Gymboree class and 10:50, I check one more time on the schedule to see if it starts at 11:00 or 11:10. I was suprised to see that not only did it not start at 11 or 11:10 that it was already over. Next time I check the schedule I need to remember to get the day right! So after Lan was ready to go "bye bye" and all excited I decided to distract him with a bottle of good old milk. Thankfully it worked! Then I get phone calls from two people interested in our Church that we need rented/sold at the moment, they both wanted to meet today. So there goes my idea of going to Toys R Us to get him a basketball goal. Thankfully my dad went with us and we ended up staying there for 2 hours. It was so hot that we were all soaking wet and Landon was worn out from running circles around the empty Church that has no power at the moment. On a fun note Landon got to meet the Police today there because for some reason people love to ditch stolen cars behind vacant churches. If Landon could talk I am sure that he would have some interesting stories about going to work with mommy and what we see. I did say I enjoy giving my child discover new things..LOL So after a long hot and sweaty afternoon Landon is in Sleepyville. Please keep the Church we own in your prayers we need this to work out in a huge way and I believe the only reason we have come this far with it is only because of God.

Mommy needs a night out too.

Well I finally got out of the house to go out with a girlfriend last night and let me tell you I know I am a better wife and mommy for it. It was so nice to go sit and relax for a few hours and make a new friend. I feel so refreshed and ready to take on everything again. Tye and Landon got to hang out all day together because I had to work and then I was home for an hour before I left again. Landon for the first time didn't even care that I was leaving! He ran to the door when I was telling him bye and yelled "bye momma, bye!" I guess my little baby is growing up. Now I will need to remind him of his new independence once we get to Church in a few hours. He cried the entire time in the nursery last week so we are hoping for a happier Sunday today.

I can play Wii too!

Uncle Seth came over tonight to play Wii with Tye and I tonight. Landon loves to hold the remote and pretend he is playing too. One of these days I will get it on video and post. Uncle Seth is Landon's new favorite person these days. Landon can't wait to meet baby Sean in October! We are all getting excited as it nears!

More summer fun

Tye and I have both been really busy with work these days so I have decided to "make" some one on one Landon time with no distractions. I decided to go back to my preschool teaching days and remembered pudding painting. Lan was a little unsure at first about putting his hands in a bowl full of yucky stuff but then discovered it could be a blast. We have been also having a lot of ice cream nights and I will include a few pics from that as well. We also had a visit from Uncle Wes and cousin Nyima. Nyima was very good with Lan other than she didn't want him to ruin her tent she made last night. I haven't uploaded the pics but when I do I will post.

Watermelon can be fun!

This weekend I decided that we would finally cut into the watermelon that was given to us from South Georgia. I started off cutting pieces for Landon & then realized he would have more fun "tearing" into it.
