The Boys :)

We got a new camera for Christmas and I LOVE it!! It takes such fast, clear pictures and I love to play with it.  So, here are some pictures of our sweet boys that I took this past week.  Enjoy!

Landon & Keegan got matching sweaters for Christmas so we had a little photo shoot after church last week.  Here are some of my favorites!

 Landon watching "Super Why" in his cape and mask.

Keegan watching them sing at the end of "Super Why".  He LOVES the songs, just like his big brother! 

Playing in the family room...

 Keegan walks all over the place now.  There isn't much crawling anymore.  This is him in mid-step...

... and clapping for himself when he finished!!  

Landon had "Show and Tell" on Thursday at school.  They were supposed to take one of their favorite Christmas presents, so he took his new Super Grover 2.0 and wore a Super Grover 2.0 shirt as well!!

 Cute pic of Keegan in his little hat before our walk yesterday.

 It was almost 60 outside yesterday and sunny, so it was a great day to go on a family walk.  Landon rode his bike the whole time and did a great job!  It was so nice to be able to get outside and play!

 Have a great week!

Winter Fun!

We got some snow over Christmas break while we were in Illinois and also a couple times when we got back.  So, we have been playing in the snow.  Landon and Daddy have had a lot of fun.  Keegan also enjoyed his first time in the snow and his first time sledding.  We have a little hill in our backyard and a nursery behind that so no other houses, which is really nice for us and lets us have some fun when it snows!!

Daddy pulling Keegan back up the hill and Landon getting ready to go down.

This picture is a little blurry, but the smile on Keegan's face lets us know he is having fun!

 Landon going down the hill on two different sleds and two different ways...sitting and on his belly!  He loves to play in the snow and is fearless!!

 Keegan going down the hill all by himself for the first time!

 Love this pic!

 All the boys going down the hill.

 Me and the boys....

Landon hugging "Boots"...that is what he named the snowman this year!

 Great work, guys!

 This past weekend we went to Westlake Rec Center, which is about 10-15 minutes away from our house. They have a huge hill for sledding and Landon and Daddy had a blast.  As I mentioned before, Landon is fearless and went down the hill by himself the first time.  He also went with Matt a few times, but he liked to go by himself.  I didn't know this until after the fact (or I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have let them go), but they also went on some ramps, which Landon LOVED as well.  He liked to fly up in the air on the sled.  I'm pretty sure that Landon will give me tons of gray hair over the years with all of his adventures! 

Walking up to the hill.

 Walking to do it all over again.

 A really pretty pic that Matt took showing the beautiful day and the hill.

Here is a video of Landon going down the big hill by himself!

Christmas in Sherman

Our last full day in Illinois was when we had Christmas in Sherman.  It was Saturday and we got to Sherman on Friday morning, so it was really hard for Landon to wait to open presents.  Since we were going to Taylorville on Friday though, we didn't have time to open before we left and it was too late to open when we got home.  Then, on Saturday morning, Matt and Cara got up and ran errands so we didn't start presents until mid morning.  Landon was very patient though, and had all the presents passed out to peoples seats so he was ready to go when they got home!

We let Landon open a few presents from Matt's great Aunt Laurel Friday morning and we also opened our stockings so he just didn't have to stare at the presents!  Here he is (being Santa) and passing out presents to people!

Before we opened presents Saturday morning.

 Silly faces with Aunt Cara & Landon!

 Saturday afternoon, Marcia K & Stan came to Sherman so we could see them and have Christmas with them as well.  Matt's family went to Decatur the weekend before Christmas so we missed it, but we were happy they came over to see us!  We weren't able to see them at Thanksgiving either, so it was fun to catch up!

Landon & Aunt Marcia playing with play doh!

 Landon put on a "Super Why" show for Stan & Marcia K.  Here are both boys dancing!!

 Landon doing the "Hip Hip Hooray" dance for the finale!

We got up Sunday morning and headed back to Ohio.  Our car was definitely jam packed when we left, but we managed to pretty much fit everything in.  There are a couple things that Matt's parents will bring us in February when they head out for Keegan's birthday. We are looking forward to having a new, bigger car next year :)

Thank you everyone for making all of our Christmases so wonderful!  We had a great time seeing everyone and are so blessed to have such great families!!
