LOVE

I'm a bit late but Landon and I had a fun Valentine's Day together. This is probably one of my favorite holidays (besides Thanksgiving, that day is my ULTIMATE holiday). Landon and I made cards for people we love:

We used his hands for other cards and they turned out super cute

At school, not one student brought me a valentine (not that I was expecting anything!) until my last class of the day. My second grade class fished out the valentines they liked the least and handed them to me on the way out the door. I got a Barbie valentine from a boy that had received it from a girl in his class, conversation hearts, pencils, and heart-shaped suckers. My students are awesome :)

Then Landon and I went to the park together on my bike for a little date.

He's been loving the swings lately

And he got his first kiss from my friend Bethany...

And I would say he's not very happy about it

He wanted to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day:

Love from Landon

Hope you're Valentine's was L-O-V-E-ly!

I noticed today that my blog has hit 7,777 page views as of today. Lucky number 7.

This little boy has been learning some new moves at his Itty Bitty Sports class at the YMCA. His first day was last Saturday and he was so natural at it that lots of the dads there were asking how old he is. I think he's pretty coordinated for a three year old and he followed the coach's directions very well.

And Landon attempting to kick the ball around the cone. He preferred to kick it over the cone.

The next day, Landon picked up RSV from who knows where and it has gotten worse and worse. When Aaron was a baby he had it too and had to be hospitalized for it. Landon's doctor told me if his fever spikes and he is complaining about his ears, he will probably need to be hospitalized.

We've been relying on natural cough syrup with bee propolis and lemon and also essential oils and he's been comfortable but still has a bad cough.

Before he got sick, this is what we have been up to...

Grandpa gave him this for his birthday

Adorable in his slouchy hat but people kept thinking he was a girl...

Have a beautiful day!

Superhero Birthday Party

The other day Landon woke up, showed me his muscles, and said, "Mommy, imma supa heewo". A superhero party it is, Landon.

I made the invitations with an app because I couldn't figure out how to use PhotoShop.

My mom and I worked on capes to hand out to the guests. This is what we came up with:

Except, it was with Batman and Superman symbols :)


We were going to have the party at the park but it was raining cats and dogs so we moved it to the church. When we got there, we found the Polynesian group practicing a dance. We grooved to the music the whole time and then they did a dance for Landon.

We were so glad that Trevor brought a bounce house for the party! If he hadn't, the kids would have be SO bored. He also did some balloon animals and hats and swords.

Got some air!

We enjoyed having friends and family with us.

We sang happy birthday to Landon and had cupcakes and pizza.

I didn't get pictures of everyone (not even my mom!)....but we all had a great time together!

One of my favorite moments was catching Landon dancing with the Samoans:

Superheroes unite!
