My boys are cute

I have been so unmotivated to post on the blog lately because I feel like all my days are mostly the same. We get up, go the gym, have some type of activity during the day (the pool, the park, the sand), we have naps, make dinner and pick Roland up. That is our day in a nutshell. I must admit that even though the basic format of our day stays the same there is always something new and exciting that happens. So here are some of our most exciting recent achievements. We will start with Liam:

He is almost all the way potty trained! What a champ! I just have to have faith now that he will actually tell me when he has to go. I am so proud of my little buddy. And like always he is always so courageous. Yesterday at the park he was jumping from really high and although he was giving me heart attack I am so happy that he is not scared of anything. He loves making friends. At the park he always picks out someone (usually girls) that he wants to be friends with. He follows them around, holds their hand and basically becomes their best friend for a few hours. His favorite sayings right now are " We ride the airplane?" (We are going to UT in a few weeks) and "Mommy/Daddy how is your day?" and then when we ask him how is day is going he says, " It is pretty good." We love you buddy. Now onto Landon

Landon has started taking steps! What a big boy. Well actually he is still pretty small so it looks a little funny to see him walking around, but we love it. He is pretty courageous too. He climbs up on everything and loves to pull books down from bookcase. He loves cars, balls and blocks. He also has learned how to use a sippy cup, and he is so cute when he tips it up to drink. His favorite food are bananas, sweet potatoes and bread. He loves to throw things off his tray while he is eating and looking at the food as it falls. We are so in love with our little boy, Landon. 

As for the adults I have been thinking about training for another race possible and full marathon. I am not sure I am ready to commit to such an undertaking, but I am thinking about it. I have been really into reading lately and have been reading the Eragon series. I also got a new calling in church. I am a youth Sunday School teacher. I really excited! 

And Roland is finishing up his semester. It has been super busy and he is ready for a break! He is going to be a 4th year dental student soon. Crazy! Well that is what he have been up to. Here are some more pictures of my cuties!

                    It was raining outside so they decided to sit out on the patio with the umbrella

Pinterest inspiration

So here is my latest project inspired by Pinterest. Covering a lamp shade with fabric to make it look cooler. It was supposed to be easy (just hot gluing) but it got a little complicated with the shape of the lampshade but I really like how it turned out. It adds a little more color to our living room. Here is the site the inspired me and some tips on how to do this if you like it. http://www.younghouselove.com/2009/09/nursery-update-keep-it-light/

The Great Flour Fiasco of 2012

Yesterday I made bread. Liam loves to help by pouring in all the ingredients including the flour. While I was kneading my dough, Liam decided I need a lot more flour and it escalated from there. I really didn't notice until I saw Landon covered from head to toe in flour. It was really funny until I decided I wanted the chaos to stop and Liam disagreed. Being a mom is never boring!

Even covered in flour he is the cutest!

Easter 2012

We had a very fun time celebrating Easter this year. It all started with Family Home Evening and learning about all the Jesus and the Resurrection. Then we dyed some eggs for an activity. Liam really likes hard boiled eggs by the way. He ate most of them.

On the Friday before Easter we went to the Easter egg hunt that our apartment complex puts on. I find it kind of funny that all the egg hunts I have seen here in Texas it is just a bunch of eggs strewn all over a field. Not much of a hunt, but it was fun anyway.

Landon even found one!

Liam and his stash!

Landon loved throwing the egg on the ground. This picture I caught the egg mid-throw.

On acutal Easter Sunday we went to church and then had a Easter feast with some friends. I did not take any pictures at dinner because I forgot, but here is one with Liam all dressed up and cheesy as ever.

Happy Easter everyone. What a wonderful holiday were we can think more about our Savior and all that He has done for us!

I am so tired...

During Saturday's sessions of general conference Landon was obsessed with lying down on the couch pillows. It was really random and crazy cute!

What a cutie pie!

One of Liam's favorite pastimes

Liam loves to push his little brother in the stroller. He does a really good job and hardly ever crashes into anything. I love my little helper!

Camping!

For spring break this year we decided we wanted attempt camping with the boys. Roland's friends from dental school were going up so we decided to tag along with them. We made the three and an half hour drive up to Beaver's Bend State Park in Oklahoma. I had never been to Oklahoma before so it is always fun to go to a state you have never been to. We knew that there was a 30% chance of rain and thunderstorms the night we went and of course the weather man got it right! It poured the whole night! But we stayed dry, thankfully and we survived the night with the boys.

The next day it was a beautiful day so we enjoyed the river and tried to do some fishing. It was so nice to get out of the loud city and into the peace of nature. We only stayed for a couple of days, but it was such a nice getaway and it is always refreshing to get out of town for a while.

Setting up the tent!

The only family picture we got.

Liam's attempting to fish!

I love that Landon is smiling at the camera.

The morning after all the rain. It was so cold as you can tell by Liam's expressions

The river. Our campsite was just up a little hill from here.

I love this picture of Roland and Liam

This would have been a good picture if Liam stepped out of the shadow.

I think this tree is so pretty. It was a beautiful place!

Roland didn't catch any fish, but he did catch 2 snapping turtles. This one was getting a little two friendly.

A group shot. We had so much fun!
