Rebel attack - chapter 1 (by Landry)

First Landry was off to the playroom making a lego star wars for the blog.
And i thought that i could make the lego people talk right by the picture.
"uh oh" (rebel). "Go!" (Darth Vader) "Yes, sir!" (storm trooper)



"Yikes!" (Princess Leah)
"What should we do your highness?" (rebel friend)



"Yes!" (storm troopers)


"Oh, no! We're dead!" (rebel troopers)

To be continued...

Today we celebrated a birthday to...hmmm...ourselves? We had fun making cakes and decorating with sprinkles and icing! We even sang "Happy Birthday" to ourselves and blew out candles! It was fun to make up a reason to eat cake. : )

Surgery Success!

Well, Logan had "more permanent" ear tubes put in yesterday. Everyone at the hospital was so efficient and friendly...we couldn't have asked for a better situation! Logan did so great and Landry was such a good helper, allowing Logan to play the Nintendo DS all day and helping Dad go get movies at the Library and Blockbuster to keep Logan sitting down after we got back home! I am so thankful to everyone who prayed for Logan. The surgery went well and he is already back to "normal". : ) Hopefully we'll see some improvements really soon in his hearing and comprehension!

A day at the symphony...

Being "cool" at the symphony!


Playing at the Arboretum...



Hmmm...I wonder if this how it was really done? Hannah is working hard!


Relaxing by the waterfall...



This week we had a really fun field trip. We were able to go with some friends to listen to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. We had great seats just above the orchestra where we all got to see exactly what happens with each instrument. It was a show for kids and I must say, it was very well done! Landry & Logan had so much fun with their friends at the show and afterwards we went on a picnic at the Dallas Arboretum. What a fun place that is, too! We played hard all morning and afternoon and it was certainly difficult for me to go to work that night...all I really wanted to do was curl up in a hammock at the Arboretum! : ) What a beautiful reminder today was of the blessing of friendships and all of the amazing things He has made! Thank you, Lord, for these moments with our children!

Giant Valentine Kite

Happy Valentine's Day! Landry and Logan loved flying their new kite at the park today!
We really had such a fun day! And to top it all off...we found out today that Mandy & Adam will be having their third baby in October. (the due date is actually Mandy's birthday!) Congratulations you guys! In the last two pictures Landry, better known as Indiana Jones, is using his whip like an expert...

Adventures with Logan


What a fun weekend we had! Logan lost his first tooth! He came to me and said his tooth was gone...and during the happy-joy dance I noticed he wasn't holding it. So, I started helping him look for it on the floor. Finally, I asked Logan where his tooth was and he pointed in the back of his throat and said, "It went down there!" So, needless to say, we made a picture of the missing tooth for the toothfairy and she was kind enough to overlook it. Logan was so excited to find the money under his pillow the next morning!
Our next adventure with Logan this week at least ended well...I heard him calling for me from the playroom. When I got there he was crying and saying, "It's stuck! It's stuck!" I couldn't see anything on him and finally he pointed to his nose...I looked up his nose and there was a lego crammed up there! Thankfully this lego piece had just enough on the end that I could pull it out with some tweezers. Logan's reply after it was all over: "Whew! Thanks, Mom!" Always an adventure with boys!
