Best Friends

Since we have been so busy this summer, Landon and Jack haven't been able to see each other very much. We took the boys to the pool in Rachel and Bob's development on Tuesday and the boys had a blast. We told them they had to hold hands before crossing the street. Meaning, Landon would hold my hand and Jack would hold Rachel's. Instead, the boys held each other's hands and it was so cute! We love that they are best friends and that they also go to the same babysitter during the school year!

This is Cooper, Jack's new baby brother. Landon loves giving Cooper hugs and kisses. He is so precious!

Update

Sorry that we haven't updated the blog in awhile. We have had a very fun, but busy summer. This was our schedule:

June 13-June 20 - Sesame Place and Ocean City

June 23-June 27 - Matt's family came to visit

June 27 - June 30 - Landon and I rode home with Matt's family and spent a few days in Lincoln

July 1-July 4 - We spent some time in Sherman with Matt's family

July 5-9 - Ozarks with my parents

July 10- We drove back to Ohio

July 13-17 - Aunt Missy and Kayla came to visit

We figured out that since we left for Sesame Place on June 13 until we came home from the lake on July 10, we had spent a total of 72 hours in our car. Isn't the crazy? We had a great time with everything and everyone though and made some amazing memories. It was definitely worth it.

I added 6 or 7 new posts from all our adventures with lots of pictures so be sure to scroll down and check it out. We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend at home with just the three of us. It will be the first time this summer that it is only our family and we don't have any plans! Have a great weekend everyone!

Aunt Missy and Kayla

Aunt Missy and Kayla came to stay with us for a few days. We had a blast. I introduced them to the P90X workouts, we ate a lot of food, went shopping, went to the Westside Market, went to the movies and did a lot of playing. It was a really good time and great to see them. Thanks for coming to visit us guys!

Bones

When we went to Sesame Place last October, the characters wore bones costumes during some of the performances. Landon loves the "Bones" song that they sang and also loves the Bones costume. So, Matt ordered one for Landon on ebay. It got shipped to Sherman while we were at the lake and Landon immediately put it on when we got back there. He loves his bones costume and still wears it almost daily to sing the song with his Sesame friends. This one fits right now, but we don't think it will fit by Halloween. So, we will order another one for Landon to wear to Sesame Place this October and again on Halloween if he wants to! So cute!

The Lake

One of our favorite places to go is my parents lake house in the Ozarks. We go every summer and have such a good time. We like to go boating, jet skiing, water skiing and swimming. Dad and I also go fishing every morning! This year Landon had a great time and was absolutely fearless. His favorite thing to do was jump off the dock into the water and swim in the lake. Here are some pictures from our trip.

This is all 3 of us swimming in the lake, but it was so hot outside that the lens on the camera fogged up so it isn't the best picture.

4th of July

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

We went to Taylorville on the 4th of July with Matt's family. Tim and Lori took all of us out to the lake on their pontoon boat. It was a lot of fun. We had a good time hanging out with almost all of Matt's family for the day. We came back to Sherman late afternoon and attempted to watched fireworks at Matt's parents house. However, they were too loud for Landon so he only saw a couple before heading in.

Sherman

We spent a few days in Sherman before we headed to the lake. Landon loves swimming and had so much fun in the pool. He swims on his own with his water wings and loves it. He loves to splash and jump in. He even went under on his own and loved it. He is getting so big. Enjoy the pics!
