Hard Hats and Haircuts

The boys have been so much fun lately, and I can't help but share some more recent pictures.  They got a tool bench and hard hats for their birthday, and they are obsessed with wearing them around the house.  Landon also got into the sunscreen one evening while we were having dinner.  We thought it was quiet for too long, then he ran into the kitchen looking like this...

Sunscreen beard!

Jordan was just spectating

Hardhats are required for dinner!

Silly boys!

Lovin some cheese puffs!

I have been meaning to get the boys haircuts for a while, and I finally got around to it!  I'm actually happy about it b/c the before/after pics are so much better when the hair is out of control :)  The boys look so much older after :)

ON THE CHARTS!

We had the boy's 2 year appointments today, and I'm so excited to share that they are now ON the charts in all areas.  Here are the stats:

Jordan
Height – 32 inches – 5%
Weight – 23 lbs – 5%
Head – 18 inches – 10%

Landon
Height – 32 ½ inches – 10%
Weight 23 lbs – 5%
Head 18 inches – 10%


Here are some facts about these crazy 2 year olds that I couldn't love any more!

Jordan
His new favorite saying is "oh man" and he says it a lot (but not on cue)
He talks about 'dandon' a lot and yells for him regularly
He still loves to cuddle when he wakes up from naps - and I love that!
Awesome eater, and still loves all fruits and veggies (he didn't get that from my side!)

Happy Birthday - 2 Years Old!

The boys are turning 2 today, and I can hardly believe it.  I feel so blessed and full of love right in this moment.  They have grown so much, and already gone through so many phases, and I have such joy being a part of it all and loving them through it.  Eric is an amazing father and the way the boys light up when he walks into the room warms my heart.  I didn't think I could love him anymore, but seeing the amazing father he as become makes me feel so lucky to call myself his wife. 

We celebrated Eric's birthday this past week as well.  He doesn't like to make a big deal of himself, but he let us get him some balloons, and make him a special dinner and dessert.  The boys were doing great saying 'happy birthday' as best they could, and I think it really warmed them up for what was coming!

We celebrated the boys yesterday with family, and overall it was a great day!  We went to Peace Valley for a picnic lunch, and fed the ducks.  They both enjoyed throwing the bread, and then the rocks!  Landon got a small boo boo that healed pretty fast once he saw all the fun he was going to have.

After naps we headed to Chuck E Cheese to keep the celebration going.  The boys had a great time on the little rides and 'playing' the games!  They always enjoy pizza and cupcakes, so dinner was a hit as well.  We headed back to the house and opened some presents which they sure did love! 


Landon loves Chuck E!

They woke up this morning (the actual birthday), enjoyed some breakfast and a present from mommy and daddy!  We went to church, then lunch with family.  They boys got to 'ride' the bull at Texas Roadhouse which at first was scary, but they warmed up quickly!
