4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July and this was a huge milestone in our lives! Landon took his first couple steps and was up to 15 just that day! It was an exciting morning, and both Mommy and Daddy were there to witness this! He was more than excited as he took his first steps and was quickly off and going from this point forward. We are so proud of Landon and I still get excited each time I see him walking!

With the new development, I went out immediately to buy them shoes! So far the favorite activity is taking the shoes off! We had another great time at the annual party at the Black's and hopefully next year they can participate in the big kid games! The fireworks were a little loud for Landon, but they did pretty good considering!!

The boys all ready for the 4th!

Sweet Jordan loved playing with Lucas

Landon was a bit fussy.. nothing new here!

Aww.. Landon in his chair looking so sad

Father's Day 2011

We had a great father's day celebrating our favorite daddy! The family was over and it was after we had thrown a suprise birthday party for Nana! I didn't get any pictures of that, but it was a great party celebrating a special woman!

The boys are often found together looking out the window

Such a fun day!

Meeting Karly

My niece was born on June 2nd, and I couldn't wait another day longer to meet the little princess! I decided I would make a quick road trip out to Cleveland to meet her and I took Mr. Landon with me. It was a tough decision, but since Jordan was getting over a cold, it did make it easier to take my little Momma's boy with me on the trip. He did an awesome job, and thanks to some friends who lent us a DVD player, we had 14 hours in the car with little to no screaming! He was a trooper and such a good boy through the entire trip :)We loved meeting little Karly and can't wait to watch her grow. We also got to spend some quality time with cousin Jack who did so great with Landon. The boys played together for hours and Jack would just wait for Landon to wake up from his naps so they could play more. It was the sweetest thing ever!

Karly was just as sweet as can be. She is doing great and growing fast. We love you Drew, Keri, Jack and Karly!

Sweet baby girl

I can't get enough of her!

She's so tiny still

Proud Grandma and Karly

Jack's new swingset was a hit

Landon loved the grass

Such sweet cousins

Landon loved hanging with Grandma

And stole her glasses whenever he had a chance!

Jack had a swim lesson and showed his instructor his 'can opener'

Landon had fun at the swim lesson too

Jack shared his 'rollercoaster' with Landon

Action shot with Grandma and Jack!

Please ignore my voice, but enjoy watching Landon go down the 'rollercoaster'.  He probably did it about 100 times with Jack pushing him up each time.  Amazingly, he held on tight each time, so no babies were injured during the making of this video.

Baby Pool

With all the hot weather, who can't resist spending some time in the classic baby pool! The boys love water so far, and I really enjoy watching them in new settings discover everything new. They are loving the pool so far, and we still have the whole summer in front of us!

Gotta have the matching outfits for pool days

Sharing is caring

Chillin' together

Why not have some bubbles?

Spaghetti Anyone?

We tried Spaghetti for the first time ever, and boy did it make a mess! The boys did great and loved it, but really needed a bath right after. My camera was on a weird setting for some of these, so some are blurry, sorry :)

Jordan and his food

Landon eats with his hands

Fuss Fuss Fussy!!

Rope Swing

We went to one of Eric's favorite spots of all time a couple weeks back.. the rope swing!  The boys weren't quite big enough to go off it yet (since they can't even walk yet), but they had a great time eating and watching the other kids play.  We grilled out after and enjoyed a nice evening with friends!

Memorial Day Parade

I am a little behind in my posts, so I apologize that this is so late, but I couldn't resist sharing these pics we got. We went to our first Doylestown Parade with a group of friends/family this past memorial day and it was great! The boys loved all the music and just being outside in the warm weather. We will be at the parade each year as we had a wonderful time!

Landon held tight to this flag the whole parade

Landon's favorite spot these days

The boy's love the shoulder rides!

Welcome Karly Anne Purcell!!

Drew, Keri and Jack welcomed their baby girl, Karly Anne Purcell into the world this morning!  I'm so excited to have my first niece ever, and I can't wait to spoil her with as much pink as possible!!  She was 7 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches.  Everyone is doing great, and Karly is as precious as can be!


Can't wait to meet you, baby girl!
