Mother's Day and Misc.

You know it's time to update your blog when the last post is all about how Addison just turned 9 months...

Well, yesterday she turned 10 months...time for an update!

We had a great Mother's Day! The kids made me an adorable dish towel at Jenny's that has their cute little handprints and names on it. LOOOOVE this! (If you can't quite read it, it says "Best Mom Ever, Hands Down!") From Darren and the kids, I got my vegetable garden. We ended up opting for the raised garden bed from Home Depot. That will be the topic of my next post I'm sure as we are working to get it in the ground and planted this week. Can't wait! We spent Mother's Day at Jess and Chad's house with the whole fam. Can't get enough pictures of Blake and Addison together. These two are going to be trouble with a capital T! My Grandma Dolores was there that day and after watching Addison for quite some time she said to me, "That one there...she has mischief in her eyes." Oh brother..

Other news...this little gal is (well has been for about two months now) climbing up the stairs in our house. The baby gate is finally back into position from taking a short hiatus in the closet.

Addison's latest...carrying around anything in her mouth. She especially loves anything soft...socks, her lamby...you name it..

Landon's newest toy...his new water table. After cleaning the office last weekend I came across a gift card he had received at his birthday party from my grandma. We walked the aisles of Walmart for quite some time and he finally decided he wanted this fun little water table. The kids had quite a blast with it last Sunday! A change of clothes is required each time they go near the thing. It will be so much fun this summer!

I also can't forget to announce that Landon filled up his first "potty chart" over the weekend.! We have been working on this since right around his birthday in February. He didn't take too much interest in it right away. It wasn't until we started offering M & M's and Jenny starting to work on it at daycare that he showed some interest again. He will go if we put him on the potty, but so far hasn't figured out to let us know when he needs to go. We're not rushing anything and we'll wait until he's ready to let us know. Until then, more diapers,

M & M's and stickers for the potty chart!

And last but not least, this little chica turned 10 months old yesterday! Better get working on the big birthday party! She is standing on her own for quite some time now...up to 30 seconds. I have a feeling it won't be long and she will be walking up a storm!

That's all for now. Stay tuned for before and after pictures of the vegetable garden hopefully over the weekend. :)
