Landon's drawings



Landon has been practicing drawing a lot lately and asked me to teach him how to draw a person the other day, so I modeled a stick person and he picked it up very quickly and is now drawing people all the time! He has gotten into a learning mode and it is so much fun to teach him! He has learned how to verbally spell his name- if you ask him how to spell Landon he will respond- "LANDON"!

Landon's big boy bike

Landon learned how to ride his big boy bike today! We got it for him for Christmas and this has been the first real sunny day that I have had a chance to go out and work with him on riding it. He was scared at first, but got the hang of it real quick and now is riding like a pro. He did go around one turn a little too fast and tipped over, but he got right back up and tried again! I am so proud of him- he is growing up so quickly!

Snow Day!








We took a day trip up to Arnold this week and played in the snow at Kyle's friends house. It was a perfect snow trip- it was a beautiful sunny day and we were able to sled down a neighbors driveway that hadn't been plowed. So the girls hung out in the stroller in the court and watched us sled! Then when they needed to be fed we were able to go up to Lincoln's house and have a place to sit. It worked out great and Landon loved being able to play in the snow. I didn't think we were going to be able to go up to the snow this year with the girls being so little, but we had a great day!


Valerie can rollover!

We got a flip video camera for Christmas and I am so excited that I can now post videos to our blog! Valerie just learned to roll from her stomach to back this past week and kept doing it over and over! She was so proud of herself. Olivia has done it a couple of times, but I haven't caught it on video yet!

Santa Rosa

Grandpa Thomas and the girls
My grandma Woosley passed away recently and so I took the kids and went to Santa Rosa for a couple days for the funeral. Kyle was sick so he had to stay home. It was a big trip to do with 3 kids by myself, but well worth it. It was great to see all the Woosley family- some I hadn't seen since I was 9! Landon loved all the attention from all my aunts, uncles and cousins! It was a very special day- sorry it had to happen under such circumstances.


Landon's tent




Aunt Becky gave Landon these really cool tents that are connected with a tunnel. It has been a great rainy day indoor activity today. He tried to bring his puppy Zoe in with him, but she was a little scared of it. I can't wait until the girls are old enough to crawl through with him!


Shower fun



After playing in the rain Landon wanted to take a shower to warm up. A friend of mine had let her children paint the walls of the shower with shaving cream so I thought I would let Landon give it a try. He loved it!!! He was making pictures and having a ball. He was fully entertained for a good half hour!
