So Landon thinks the freezer is his new toy box!

We have a fridge with a bottom pull out drawer freezer. Lately Landon likes to help me open it to get ice out to put in his cup or help me get out the chicken nuggets, etc.

Today, however, he's figured out that he's strong enough to pull it open himself.

So all morning he's been bringing me various frozen food items while saying "here go mommy"

After like 1/2 dozen times of walking him back and helping him put the items back and telling him these are not toys! and not to open it again. I finally threatened to give him a time out if he opened the freezer again.

Needless to say he's had two time outs today for playing with his new freezer toy box.

(Jamie has the camera at work today, sorry no pics, but it was hilarious watching Landon walking around carrying frozen veggies, etc. and running away from me when I said we need to put them back! I'm sure there'll be more photo opts later of this)

For Uncle Jeff

Landon got his "bangs" trimmed. I was trying to let them get long enough that they would go to the sides and out of his face, but it was NOT WORKING and his hair was constantly in his eyes.

It drove Uncle Jeff crazy at Christmas time

(sorry Jeff, I know you'd rather we buzz it off since all of Grandma Lucy's friends think he's a girl, but this is better than nothing.)

There goes that New Years resolution...

One of my New Years resolutions is to keep my blog more updated... so FINALLY heres a little taste of our Christmas 2008... ta da!

We put up not one, but two trees this year. I decided to do my tree in all gold and white and we did a "kids" tree with our old ornaments and we strung fruit loops. Zac loved helping with the fruit loops (while eating them in the process)

I took the kids to see Santa and I must say it went much better this year than last year! Zac asked Santa for a tractor. Santa said "a tractor?" and Zac said "yeah, that I can ride on!"

Christmas 2008

Christmas 2007

Jamie's sisters were in town for Christmas and we all hung out at our house and played Rock Band (Jamie's early Christmas present from me) it was so much fun!



Then we all crashed at his parents house for Christmas Eve so we could wake up Christmas morning together. It's tradition for Jim to read "the Night Before Christmas"

Christmas morning Zac was the first one to wake up and we tried to keep him upstairs till Landon and Ella woke up but he didn't want to wait, he was so excited. It wasn't too much longer till Landon and Ella joined him.

These are the videos of the kids when they first saw their toys from Santa! (videos especially for my parents who didn't get to see my kids Christmas morning. Maybe this will make you guys feel like you were there!)

Landon thought he'd try it out backwards!
