A walk in the park

DISCLAIMER: LANDON AND CARTER WERE IN NO WAY GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ACT. WE WERE JUST OBSERVING THEM IN THEIR NATURAL BEHAVIOR.

Father's Day 2009

Carter didn't want to be in this video greeting, so maybe he can say hi later. As you will see, Landon had a little trouble getting the "Paw-Paw Dave" part out! We Love you!

Just Dance :)

Our boys LOVE to dance so we took a short video of them gettin' down. This is especially for you Grandma Becky and Paw Paw Dave...we love you and miss you bunches!!!! xoxo

Phil and I have been wanting to get away for a couple of days for some relaxation so we decided to stay at a cabin in the Hocking Hills. It seems to be the trend that whenever we try to get away or do something special together something bad or frustrating happens. So why should this time be any different? This video is a short tale of the rocky start to our 'relaxing getaway'.

A Date with Daddy

At the end of Oct. Landon and I had our first Father/Son breakfast outing. Landon was so well behaved and acted like such a little man. He even ate most of his french toast! I was so overwhelmed with the whole idea of having a son to raise and teach and bond with, and very humbled by God's goodness in my life to bless me so undeserving with two sons. I think I was in a daze all through breakfast. I couldn't stop thinking about how I would remember this moment for the rest of my life. I know how fast my boys will grow up and I don't want to miss a second of it. I just want to hold on to these times so tightly. I think Landon is getting pretty used to me having these "moments". I must get a look in my eyes, because he has told me (after telling me he loves me) to "not cry Daddy". Using a tone and look that says he already understands my emotional state more than a two year old should. The real highlight of breakfast was all the trucks and "BIG trucks" we got to see pass outside the window.
