Hippity Hoppity...

Easter is on it's way! Landon LOVES coloring eggs. He and his cousin, Robert, had a blast coloring a decorating eggs this year! He had colored hands for a couple of days! And the Easter Bunny brought some nice treasures!

The Zoo... Again

Can you tell we love the zoo??

The Zoo is Back!

Finally, after 6 months our zoo is back open! We had yearly passes to our zoo last year when it abruptly closed. Now, it is back open under new ownership and we got to go back last weekend and there were a lot of new faces as well as some old friends. Landon just loves animals. As you can tell from the photos, his favorite part is the petting zoo! We are looking forward to many more visits in the future.

Happy 5th Birthday, Landon!

I can't believe my little man is 5 years old! Where has the time gone??

I haven't been doing a very good job of blogging in 2010... I have a lot going on and blogging has fallen by the wayside. But I'm going to try to do better.

So, Landon wanted to have his birthday party at the bowling alley this year and it was a good choice! Everyone had a great time! Landon's best friend, Logan, came and the two were almost inseperable. Special thanks to Aunt Barbara for getting the perfect Spiderman cake! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us!

Hope you enjoy the pictures! Happy Birthday, Landon!

Visit her site at Eva Joiner Photography. She is awesome!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed having them taken.

We're Back...

...and completely exhausted! We had so much fun and really didn't want to leave. So, here is a sneak peek. Much more to come!

Gulfarium & Pumpkins

I have been in & out of town for a couple of weeks but here are some photos from the brief moments I was home. Landon and I went to the Gulfarium one day and the pumpkin patch the next. Two of Landon's favorite places!

Countdown to Disney

Less than a week until Landon and I head to Disney to meet Miche for 4 days of fun! This year, Cathy and Ken will be joining us also so we are super excited. I have been waiting all year for this trip and I know Landon can't wait either. There will be tons of pictures and I will tell you all about our adventure so stay tuned....

A few photos from our trip last October.

My Poor Little Guy

Poor Landon! He went to the doctor this morning and has the flu. The H1N1 flu apparently. They did not actually test him for the H1N1 but at the moment they are diagnosing anyone with the flu as H1N1. My heart is absolutely breaking for him... and I am 450 miles away in Tampa. It is killing me not to be there to take care of him and cuddle him right now! It is the most helpless feeling in the world when your child is sick and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. The doctor said it would have to run it's course and Landon would probably run a fever for the next three to four days. He can't go back to school until next week. His Daddy is taking good care of him while he isn't feeling well. But I can't wait to get home at the end of the week and take care of my precious little boy! Get well soon, Landon! Mommy really doesn't like it when you are sick.

Birmingham Trip to Miche's

What a fabulous weekend! Great friends, the zoo and college football (WAY TO GO NOLES!!!)Landon and I went to visit Miche (Riley and Smoke, too) in Birmingham. Landon has been looking forward to this trip for weeks. He adores Miche and it is so easy to see why. We had the best time! We went to the zoo on Saturday and then to Miche's sister Chrissy's house to watch the Florida game. Landon found a new best friend/toy - Chrissy Dodd! Chrissy has got to be the world's best babysitter. She and Landon played cops & robbers, indians and they even had a magic wand. The fact that it was pink and sparkly was my only cause for concern. BTW - it came home with us! So, we watched the gators win and then headed to another of Miche's friend's house for the evening games. Landon made so many new friends, a couple of whom are four-legged. And to top it all off, chocolate chip pancakes on Sunday morning. He really didn't want it to end and neither did I. Thanks for a great weekend, Miche! We can't wait to see you in a few weeks at Disney. Love you!

Remembering 9-11

Remembering all those who lost their lives during a cowardly attack on our great nation 8 years ago today. Thank you to all of the men and women who proudly serve our country and fight for our freedom everyday! Never forget! God Bless America!

Our Trip to the USS Alabama

Landon, his Dad and I went to Mobile on Saturday to tour the USS Alabama Battleship. It was really neat! I haven't been in almost 20 years and I had forgotten how much fun it was! Landon enjoyed it, especially the sailors' sleeping quarters. More specifically, their beds!!
