Jamie's 30th Birthday in Utah

We went to Utah for my ten year highschool reunion. Since we'd only be there a few days and would be busy with reunion stuff we decided to save ourselves about $300 by leaving Zac at home with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Debbie. (Landon came cuz he flies for free and Aunt Mel had offered to babysit him)

We had so much fun hanging out at Jeff and Kristen's to celebrate Jamie's 30th Birthday! Even though he had his B-day present from me in New York, his real birthday fell when we were in Utah. Mel got him a cherry cheesecake but Jeff couldn't find a 3 to make a 30, so 2+1 = 3 get it?

Nice Ella, did your dad teach you that?

Landon was ready to play croquet!


Look at those beautiful blondes!

Jamie thought the waterfall would make a sexy pose


Landon enjoyed playing on Ella's new playhouse!

chillin' at the airport ready to go home!

ARE WE EVER GOING TO MAKE IT BACK?

Coming home from New York we encountered bad weather in Dallas. Right before our decent the pilot was told to go back to Memphis (where we had our layover) cuz they wouldn't let us land in Dallas and we couldn't cirlce around forever. So we went back to Memphis and sat on the plane for over an hour waiting for another crew to come and fly us, yet again, back to Dallas. Well, they couldn't get another crew so our flight was canceled and we got to hang out in the NOT SO COMFORTABLE airport overnight (no free hotels when the cancelation is weather related!) YEAH IT SUCKED!

Oh, they did give us each $10 in Arby's vouchers- cuz that makes it all better

NEW YORK!!!

We went to New York for our birthday's this year (June 23-me and 30-Jamie) I hadn't been since I was 8 (20 years ago!)and Jamie went once for business (with Y2 marketing) like 6 years ago. So it was so fun to go and do some fun stuff there. Too bad we only had 3 days, but it's hard to be gone long when you leave your kids home-plus New York is expensive!

Love this show!!!

Got to see the new season's cast in person!

awesome!

One of my favorite things was central park! soooo pretty and surreal to see the big buildings through the trees!

David Letterman had Will Smith on that day, if I had known that, I would have waited in line to be in the audience for sure!!!

Time Square. A lot like Vegas :)

Happy EARLY B-day Jamie

THIS is the real reason we went to New York!!!! PEARL JAM!

I told Jamie since he was turning 30 I wanted to do something big for his birthday.... so I said pick any band that you want to see this summer in any city and we'll go! So he chose Pearl Jam in New York, and I have to say, IT WAS SOOOOOO AWESOME! Good choice Jamie :)

Wasn't that in the trash Landon???

Landon has figured out how to lift the lid on our kitchen trash can, so if the trash is pretty full, he'll pull things off the top and try to eat whatever's left in the container.... well just see for yourself...

I guess Jamie wanted a new look too...

When I left for work yesterday Jamie looked like this... (well this picture is like 2 weeks old, but he still looked about like this in the morning)...

But when I came home from work... HE LOOKED LIKE THIS!!!!

Supposedly he was "growing it out for 2 years" whatever... he does this almost every summer. I don't know why I was so suprised this time. I REALLY SHOULD HIDE MY CLIPPERS! You'd think I'd learn by now.

I don't know if he was getting too hot with the long hair, if he had too much time on his hands (I don't see how he was "watching" the kids), or if he wanted to look like his man crush David Beckham, but it is what it is.

I still think your sexy! And you always put up with me changing my hair, so rock the buzz cut! Whatever...

The New Me

I got bangs (or fringe as we hairstylists call it) about a week ago. I haven't had straight bangs since I was in Jr. High, but I was getting bored, so there it is.

swimming right before nap time

We finally got a chance to use the blowup pool I got Landon for his birthday. It was kinda close to nap time though so they were slightly moody. (Zac is asking for his blanky in the video and Landon starts crying)

Memorial Day

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Memorial Day. The kids loved Grandpa's hotdogs but what they loved the most was swimming in the little pool with all the bubbles! (just an unheated hot tub to us)

I was the only adult who actually got in. Grandma and Grandpa helped from the outside, and Jamie took pictures and videos.

Today we saw David Beckham up close and personal!!! Well, sort of. We went to the FC Dallas game vs LA Galaxy (Beckham's new team, also featuring Landon Donavon-our little Landon's name sake) Our seats were pretty good because we went with the Texas state champions for soccer this year (otherwise known as the McKinney Boyd girls team) they get the hook up now that they're champs.

Becks is soooooo hot in real life and has mad skills, sorry FC Dallas :(

Friday we went to see Jamie's 2nd fav band Everclear (1st is Pearl Jam) and on the last song they were picking girls to go on stage and I got picked! Yeah, I still got it! :)

The other day Zac was playing at his friend Max's house and they came up with a new way to use Max's tunnels... 1 2 3 BLASTOFF!

Zac's 1st "real" haircut

We're back online!!! We got a new computer and ATT uverse so I will try to catch up my blog bit by bit. (like Landon's birthday and last Christmas, etc) 1st things 1st... ZAC GOT A "REAL" HAIR CUT FOR THE 1ST TIME TODAY!!!! soooo cute, and I think he looks older now!

Mothers Day

After church we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner, which Grandpa Jim made by the way. It was fabulous! Then the kids wanted to go outside, so we got some cute pictures.

Jamie gave me a digital picture frame and loaded it the night before with some cute pics on it. So when I woke up it was by my bed with the pics displaying. So sweet!

Our babysitter helped the kids make me some really cute homemade cards with their handprints and footprints, etc. So precious!

Landon got some sandbox toys for his birthday so we thought we'd try them out.

Landon thought he'd also try out the sand as a snack

(WATCH THE VIDEO, SO FUNNY)

Landon's 1st Birthday

Landon turned 1 on March 25, 2008! We had a small party with a few friends and family. I made a cake with fresh fruit, cuz fruit is Landon's favorite food. And boy did he go at it!!!

(After a much needed bath) Then it was time for presents! He got some cute gifts and had so much fun opening them. My baby is a little man now!

So I started this blog and soon after we were robbed and one of the many things stolen was our laptop, so now I can't really update it, sorrry. (I'm using my in-laws computer today) I only have occasional access to a computer now, so we won't get much updates on the blog.


For now... Zac is officially in a "big boy" bed for a week now and loves it. Some days he does great and others he gets out a few times before he finally stays in. Landon is eating a lot of table food and loves fruit the most! (so opposite of Zac) He seems like he could be walking very soon. He walks all over with his little walker toy. He turns one at the end of March. Hopefully we'll have a new computer by then and I can upload some new pics.
