School Pictures

Emma & Landon's daycare got a local photographer to take their school pictures this year. They turned out so cute!!! Emma at 3 years and 9 months.

Landon at 3 months.

My one wish to the photographer was to try her best to get some of both of them together. She outdid herself! She not only got both of them looking at the camera at the same time- she got them looking and smiling!!!

My Favorite Season

Fall has always been my favorite season. I love to display pumpkins and gourds around the house. 

Last year we had this plate made with Emma's handprints. 

This year we went way out and had Landon's hiney put onto a plate. We had already had something made with his feet and his hands still won't stay open long enough to do it correctly, so this was our next option! :)

I made this shirt for Emma on my embroidery machine.

And Landon wearing a shirt for his first Halloween!

We decided to carve pumpkins for the first time. I can now say they are not all what they are cracked up to be! It takes forever and then they don't last that long- but memories were made and that is all that matters. 

I wish it would stay Fall longer than it does!!

Emma's Cupcake

We went out to eat with some friends tonight and then went to Small Cakes so Emma could create her own Fall cupcake. She used all three icings on it and then wanted several of the toppings they had to choose from to add on top. I think she took a few bites and then did not really want anymore of it. Oh well! It was fun watching her be creative!!

Operation Christmas Child

Our church collects all year for OCC. Each month they focus on collecting certain items to add to the shoe boxes. Every October, we have a huge OCC shoe box party where we go and pack shoe boxes with the items that were collected. Emma & I went today to help out! She filled around four boxes for kids in need! She would help fill them with items and then would help write them a note. Then we would go and pray over each box! We took breaks for snacks while we were there. :) She had so much fun and I was able to tell her how important it is to give to those in need!!

Pretty Girl

I love getting morning pictures of my babies. I see Landon in the mornings, but Emma is still asleep when I leave for work, so it is nice to see her! I also like to see what she or Scott chose for her to wear for that day. This particular day she was wearing her new coat and tights. She had officially outgrown all of her tights, so we restocked in a variety of colors for the cold season! :)

NaeNae & Us

My mom (NaeNae) came over for a visit today once we got home! Sweet baby boy looking at his NawNae!!

 Then Emma wanted to take some selfies with me! Haha she was trying her hardest to make fish face!

 More pictures of Landon looking at his NaeNae!

3 Months Old

Time is flying by so fast!! Landon is already 3 months old. He is such a happy and content baby!! He loves to smile at us. He is still sleeping and nursing great! We took him to our local pumpkin patch for his pictures. 

Tiny Girl

Scott sent me this picture this morning as he does a lot of mornings since I leave before she wakes up. I asked him if she was wearing biker type shorts and he said no that they were black cotton ones with pockets. Well I knew she does not have a pair like that, so when I picked her up I checked and she had worn Landon's shorts to school all day!! They are a size 0-3 months and she fit into them. I knew she was little, but did not think that tiny! She was not amused that she had worn boy shorts to school.  Scott and I got a good laugh out of it. :)

Dressed & Ready for Church!!

Birthday Party at Fun Park

Emma went to her classmates, Reagan's 4th birthday party today. It was at Fun Park. They got to ride bumper boats, play golf, ride bumper cars, and eat cake!! She had so much fun! Watching her golf was pretty funny, but she was determined to get the ball into the hole on each turn!!

Laughed Out Loud

Landon laughed out loud for the first time right before taking a bath tonight!! It was such a sweet sweet sound. I can't wait to hear more sweet laughs from him!

More fun in the tub!

And again on a different night.

Awesome Sleeper

Landon is such a great sleeper and honestly has been from day one. He never confused days with nights. He started sleeping seven hours around two weeks old. He is now sleeping twelve hours at night and takes good naps throughout the day. He loves his sound machine and to be swaddled!!! His nickname to Scott and I is Rooster. Look at his hair just sticking straight up!!!

This Boy & His Bath

One of Landon's favorite things to do is take a bath. He loves to lay in the warm water and just kick & splash. He smiles and talks the whole time he is in the tub! We have never skipped bath time with him!! It is definitely part of his bedtime nightly routine!
