(Happy Cinco de Mayo! My students had a party in class today. Tonight, we are going to celebrate with food from Fiesta Jalapeños. We hope that you all have a good day!)

Swim Lessons

Landon started his first swim lessons this week and is doing great! He goes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30-6 for four weeks. The age group is supposed to be 1 1/2 - 3 years old, so he is by far the youngest, but he doesn't seem to mind. Only one parent can be in the pool with him during the lesson, so Matt and I rotate days. Matt swims with him on Mondays, and I swim with him on Wednesdays. The other parent isn't allowed in the pool area and has to watch through glass from an observation room. That makes it a little difficult to get pictures, but here are a few from this week. One of my good friends from school, Rachel, sends her son to the same babysitter as Landon. Jack is 4 months older than Landon and they are best friends. Jack and Landon are taking these swim lessons together, so I put a picture of Rachel and Jack on here also. Have a great day!

Pictures

Here are some pictures of our sweet little Landon! His favorite things lately include:

Puppies (he "woofs" like crazy whenever we see one)

Walking backwards

Going down the stairs backwards

Cars, Trucks and Trains

Making baskets in the hoop

Swinging

Carrying shoes around by the shoelaces

Songs (especially from Sesame Street)

Reading Books

Landon starts swim lessons on Monday, so we will post more pictures after that. We hope you are all having a great weekend!

Have a great weekend!

New Swing set

Landon got a new swing set this weekend and he loves it! Our neighbors have two kids that are in 4th grade and 2nd grade and don't play on it anymore. So, we got a very good deal on it. Sunday, Matt and a few other guys from the neighborhood, moved it into our yard. Landon is too small to play on all of it right now, but he loves to swing! Here are a few pictures of him enjoying his new swing set (and mommy and daddy too)! Have a great week!

Easter Part I

We spent all day Friday in Lincoln with my immediate family. Landon and Adelin had a great time opening their Easter baskets and hunting for eggs. Friday night, we celebrated Easter with the rest of my family. Enjoy all the pictures!

On Saturday morning, we took Landon to the Rec to see the Easter bunny.

He then played in the tunnels

And played peek-a-boo

Later that afternoon, we were able to see one of my best friends, Meghan, and her family. Landon was so excited to see his girlfriend, Chloe! It was great to catch up with them for a little bit.

Easter Part II

On Sunday, we headed to Mattoon and then Decatur to spend Easter with Matt's family. The kids enjoyed playing outside in the nice weather, and hunting Easter eggs. We hope all of you had a wonderful Easter as well! Here are a few pictures from the day!
