Landon turns 2 and the first day of school!

10 Aug 2009 by Melanie

This has been an emotional day for me. My baby turned 2 and my baby girl started Kindergarten today! The house seemed so strange without her. I kept wondering where she was. We had Landon’s party on Saturday…

I was a little distracted because my dad was getting 2 stints put in at the same time. Until a couple days ago I thought my father was invincible. Hayden was supposed to get baptized on Saturday but we will have to put it off until October. My dad is feeling better and onery as ever.

Hensley and Hayden were cute before we took them to school. Hensley was very proud of her new Bling Sketchers! That’s my girl…

I keep thinking about the song by Kenny Chesney, ‘Don’t Blink’  Sometimes I am so ready for the next step or for them to get to an easier age that I don’t remember to cherish the now!

Don’t blink
Just like that you’re six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you’re twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don’t blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your “better half”
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you’re praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don’t blink

Toxic or Non-Toxic

27 May 2009 by Melanie

_mg_1659reHere is a list of items that have been tested by Landon without the consent of his mother. No need to thank us, knowing that you will have some peace of mind will be enough for me…

1- Crayons- Non-Toxic (and makes a very colorful dirty diaper the next day. Trix and Fruity pebbles also have this effect.)

2- Markers- Non-Toxic (can anyone tell me how to get it out of my carpet though?)

3- Deodorant- Non-Toxic (he did not like the taste of it however)

4- Glue Stick- Non-Toxic

5- Ant Bait traps – Luckily I got to it before  he actually tested this one, I’m pretty sure that would have been a trip to the emergency room.

6- Hair Color- Non-Toxic as long as you wipe it out of his mouth and face immediately, otherwise he will have a color stain for a couple days. Also rinse immediately when he decides to color his hair.

My little bruiser!!!

13 May 2009 by Melanie

My little Landon has once again required a trip to the E.R. He really cannot avoid disaster. Last Friday he was climbing up on our swing set, we played this fun game all week. He would climb up and I would get him down by catching him down the slide. This time he saw me coming for him and hurried up the stairs. He lost his footing and went head first into the rocks. I have to admit this time really freaked me out! He had a gaping hole in his head and there was blood everywhere!

I rushed right out to the E.R. and they actually saw me right away. We were still there 4 hours from beginning to the end but he got 4 stitches, 4 plastic animals and a home made Teddy Bear out of the whole ordeal.

Here he is on Mother’s Day…

We went to the doctor today and had the stitches taken out. I asked Dr. Chang about his modeling career but he couldn’t tell me if he would scar or not! LOL!

Tomorrow is the last day of Hensley’s preschool, we are having a field trip at Peter Piper Pizza. I can’t believe she will start Kindergarten in August. I hope she has a patient teacher.

sawyerTonight is the season finale of LOST, I’m excited but scared at the same time. Their season finale’s usually don’t end well. I think next year is their last year so anything is possible. Here is my question though. If they have gone back 30 years in time, and if they do all die in the end, will they not be born again? Or are they already babies? Miles saw himself as a baby and  we have seen Charlotte as a little girl.

This time travel stuff boggles my mind, it could just go over and over and over!  The same thing is happening in the Outlander series that I am reading.

Whatever happens I can guarantee that there will be no closure. I am preparing myself!!! LOL!

American Idol results are also in tonight. I really like Kris Allen, although I think all 3 of them are very talented. It should be a close competition. What did we ever do without DVR’s? My favorite thing is to pause the T.V. while I put the baby to bed and then we can usually fast forward through most of the commercials!

Speaking of, it’s time to put the baby to bed. I can hear him getting into something, I think I’ll put him to bed before he can cause any damage to himself or anyone else tonight.
