Landon's first boat ride (Kai's too)

Friends of ours invited us out on their pontoon boat this past Sunday. It was the 1st time for both of the kids. Landon wasn't too sure about it before we left, but we talked about the life jackets and the sun screen and he was ok. He hasn't been wanting to put the sunscreen on lately, but it was 86 today soo.... We get on the boat, Landon runs to his seat and says"ok mom, where is the sunscreen and my life jacket? Let's go!" He is all smiles. Kai on the other hand, hates the life jacket, which is understandable since the jacket is as big as she is-very cute, but huge. We dock on a little beach and he wants nothing to do with the water, but after seeing all the kids having fun, he gets braver. We went with 2 of Chad's soccer girls and he was in hog heaven. They played with him on the edge of the water. He even put on his swim trunks. Chad offered to throw him in and have one of the girls catch him-that didn't go over too well, he did it,but I doubt he will do it again. He got to sit on the edge of the boat with the girls and eat his lunch-he thought he was hot stuff. The girls just love him and he got to eat with the big kids. Kai got to wiggle around all over the boat and be loved on by everyone. we tried to get her to sleep in the pack-in-play-didn't happen. She usually sleeps for 3 hours starting around 12 or so. At 3:30 she was still up and running. We started back home at that point. She was out 5 minutes after we left. All in all, it was a great day. Landon wants to go back and we know Kai can have a good time too.

Landon has been helping with my garden. He helps me dig the holes and water the plants. He likes to look for the baby fruits and veggies that are growing. Hopefully he will like to eat them just as much. Kai has helped too. She pulls out everything I just put it and brings it to me. She is so proud of it too.

In the last week Kai has outgrown her shoes and gotten 5 new teeth.She is growing fast!

Muffins with Mom

Landon's preschool class had "Muffins with Mom" this morning. The kids had made cute little crafts for us and we ate muffins and had juice together. I was just about out the door after having said goodbye to Landon. He was off playing with his friends when he saw me getting ready to leave. He yelled "Mommy, wait! I have to give a hug and a kiss!" It was so sweet and the best Mom's day present I could ask for.
