Labor Day

We had a nice quiet Labor Day around the house. We grilled out and hung out in the backyard. Landon was excited to get to swim in his pool and Reese just relaxed in her seat. She is such a laid back baby. When we came in Landon wanted to play football with his daddy and wear his helmet which is really a pumpkin. He is always making us laugh.

Potty Training

I am happy to say Landon is officially potty trained. I decided to give potty training a try again. We had started before Reese was born and Landon was doing great. However, as soon as Reese was born he regressed and went back to his pull-ups. Earlier this week I just woke up and decided to give it another go and Landon has been in his big boy underwear ever since. It is like he just knew how to do it and hasn't had an accident since. I am so proud of him!

Rosemary Beach

We just got back from a vacation at Rosemary Beach in Florida, thanks to my aunt and uncle Robin and Brian. They have a great condo that they were nice enough to let us use. It is our favorite vacation spot. However, I realized it is not vacation anymore with 2 kids. There is so much packing and unloading but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. Landon loved to play in the sand but didn't like the ocean to much. Both kids loved to swim. It was Reese's first time in the swimming pool and she seemed to have a great time. We all loved having Josh with us for the whole week and really enjoyed having some family time. We also got to spend some time in Georgia with family which is always fun. Overall we had a great time but it always goes by to fast.

Well, the last week has been quite stressful. The kids and I travelled back to Georgia for a long weekend. Josh had to work so I thought it would be a good time to go visit family. We had a great weekend. We celebrated Gran-Gran and my aunt Carla's birthday. We went swimming and had dinner with Josh's parents, grandmother, and aunt. The weekend was wonderful until I was headed back to South Carolina. I got in an accident on Barrett Pkwy. Thank goodness my mom and sister were home and got there in a matter of minutes. My aunt and dad also came to check on us. I was so worried about the kids but thank goodness everyone was fine. I have never been so scared for them. My Infiniti was totalled and of course I had just payed it off a week before the accident. So, now we have a new car. We ended up getting a Yukon which I love but would rather have my Infiniti with no car payment. The most important thing is that the kids were ok. Landon keeps telling me I crunched my car. He is so funny. I also deleted all my pictures from my weekend at home on accident, but here are some recent pics of the kids hanging around the house. I can't wait for vacation!

Here are a couple of recent pics of the kids. I finally caught a smile on camera of Reese. She is always smiling and cooing. It is precious. We bought Landon some new arm floaties and he insisted on wearing them around the house all day. Every day is something new and exciting with my babies. Sometimes I wish I could freeze time b/c they grow up so fast.

Reese is 2 months today. I can't believe how fast time flies. We went to the doctor today and she weighs 12lbs. 6oz. That puts her in the 90th percentile weight rage. She also had to get 4 shots, which is never fun, but she was a trooper. Landon decided he wanted to dress like daddy does when he goes to work. He was pretty cute in his Georgia scrubs. He is such a daddy's boy.

We also had a great time with painting. He loves to paint but I can only handle the mess every now and then. Before he was done he had blue hair and a green ear but at least he had fun!

July 4th

We had a fun and relaxing July 4th. Josh's parents came to visit. We grilled out and played in the backyard. Memaw bought Landon a new sandbox which he has loved. We watched some fireworks from our backyard that were done at Fort Jackson. On Sat. night Landon decided he wanted to lay in Reese's bed with her. I let for him a minute just to get a picture. They were pretty cute together. I look forward to watching them grow up together!
