Having Fun

All of my sister in laws have done this with their kids. They put either bird seed or rice in a large container and let their kids play in it. I decided to give it a try because we needed something else to do since we don't get to go outside to much.

I decided to do a mixture of bird seed and rice. Then we laid a bed sheet down on the kitchen floor and Ethan had such a fun time playing in it.

We got plastic cups, boats, measuring cups and spoons to play with. Ethan had a really good time.

Ethan was supposed to keep the stuff inside the container, but as you can see alot of it got onto the sheet. No problem though, I just put the sheet into the container and shook the rice/seed back in. Then we vacuumed any pieces that got away. It was a fun activity and we have been enjoying it ever since.

Ice cream

I scream you scream we all scream for Ice Cream!

Ethan and I made vanilla ice cream yesterday. He is always wanting to help me make things so I thought this would be fun and also delicious at the same time. He was such a good help. Ethan mixed the sugar and milk together with the blender, and also helped me measure the other ingredients out.

The ice cream only took 30 minutes and then we were able to taste it.

It was very delicious, but tasted a lot like cool whip, so I think next time we will do strawberry, or mint chocolate chip. But that hasn't stoped us from eating it though :)

2 Months

Landon had his 2 month appointment yesterday. He is such a big and healthy beautiful boy.
Weight: 12.6 lbs, 75%
Height: 24 1/4lbs, 93%
Head: 39cm, 25%
Since Landon looked a little like my Dad when he was born, maybe he will also be tall like him too.
He loves to lift his head and look around at everything going on, and he loves to smile and coo at anyone who talks to him.
We are very happy that he is progressing as he should and bringing so much joy to our lives.

Living with a 2 year old

Whoever knew that living with a 2 year old could be so hilarious. Ethan says some pretty funny things daily and I thought that I could share them with you.

On Sunday our Bishop was talking about Haiti and if anyone wanted to donate that they could give to the Humanitarian fund. When he said Humanitarian Ethan looked up at me with his wide eyes and said "He-man!" It was hard not to bust up laughing in the middle of sacrament meeting.


When Ethan is being noisy we ask him to please be quiet, and his response is usually "NO, You be quiet!
Sometimes when we ask him to pick up his toys he tells us "No thanks, you pick them up." Aaron really has a hard time not smiling at his little boy when he says these things.

Ethan was eating a Sponge Bob candy cane the other day and said "Ummmmm, this is good stuff!"

Ethan keeps telling me that I'm a "Silly Monkey" so the other day I told him he was a "Silly Monkey" and he looked right at me with a serious look and stated "No, I'm Ethan." Oh, of course, silly me.

As most of you know we have conquered going pee-pee in the potty, but number two has been more of a challenge. We were driving to church a couple of weeks ago and I was saying something to Aaron about Ethan going poop in the potty, and from the back seat we hear "I pooped, I pooped Christmas." We immediately started laughing.

So as you can see there is never a dole moment with this 2 year old.

Best Baby Ever!

Landon is such a funny sleeper. He prefers to have his face squished against something, either my chest or the floor. It is pretty hillarious.

He falls asleep pretty much anywhere and is such a joy to have around.

He is very content just sitting in a chair or the swing.

He also loves to watch movies with his Dad and Brother.

We love our little boy and count our blessings daily having him in our lives.

Fire Truck

Ethan loves Fire Trucks. He plays with a big bag of fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars every Sunday and whenever he needs to be entertained when we go out. So we decided to take him to see the real thing on Monday. Our friend, Chris, works at two fire stations here in Ogden so we asked him if we could stop by.






We sat in the drivers seat and turned on the lights. Ethan was a little scared up there by himself so I hopped up there with him and we had a fun time.







Chris even drove us around the block in the fire truck. Ethan really liked this part, and so did his Daddy.



Chris put his mask on and pretended he was Darth Vader. Ethan thought that was pretty funny so he and Aaron tried it on too.
