March Pictures and activities

There seem to be many birthday parties going on this time of year. This one is Alfonso's - 3/28/10. Landon is going to have his friend birthday party at the same place - Frisco Pump it up. Luckily Landon agreed with my choice of location for the party.

Grammy and I took Landon to see Disney on Ice at AA Center - 3/28/10. The show was great. The first half had several songs from Disney movies and such, and the second half had a couple cultural acts from Japan, China and New Orleans, and then they had a Christmas number. We all thought the show was great. Landon doesn't know all of the characters but he still had fun. I knew all of them except one which I thought was pretty good.

3/27/10 - Landon and I had a date to go to a small circus that comes to town each year. It's the Carson and Barnes circus. The elephants are one of our favorites. The show was very good. Landon tried cotton candy for the first time. He wasn't to impressed. We also had some popcorn and ended up buying a balloon on the way back to the car.

Landon and I got to ride an elephant before the show.

We also go to ride a camel. Landon pointed out that the camel ride is much rougher than the elephant ride.

Landon made a bunny cookie house with Grammy - I think he did a good job decorating - 3/23/10

Grandpa has been staying in Dallas for a while as he recovered from his hip surgery. He's not gone back to Odessa and I think the kids will miss seeing him when they go to Grandma and Pops house.

We celebrated Granpa's birthday early before he went back to Odessa - 3/21/10

Playing Zingo - bingo like game we got Pops for his Birthday

3/21/10 - We had some crazy snow. One day it was 70 degree, and the next day it was raining and then snowed about 5-6 inches at our house overnight. The snow stuck probably because the rain had cooled everything down during the day. Anyway, we went to the Turners and the boys played outside for a while.

Landon all decked out to play in the snow

Kasey got out as well, but didn't last to long.

3/20/10 - This was at Evan Parks first birthday party at Planet Pizza. Grammy came with me to help with the kids. Everyone had a good time.

Some other blog updates - Feb/March

3/6 Greg drove to Odessa today with Pops. The kids and I had lunch with Grammy and Gramps and hung out with them for a little while. We had fun putting together some new toys and playing Wii.

After naps we decided that we were going to go get Pizza. Went to Durkins because they will make pizza without cheese for Kasey and I. As we were driving to get the pizza the song "You've got to Move it" from Madagascar. We also know the song and all three of us were dancing in the car and Landon and I were singing along. We had a great time.

After dinner we turned on Madagascar and the kids made some pictures while we watched.

2/27 Went outside with Landon and Kasey today. Landon and I played some soccer. Kasey kept putting the ball in the goal with her hands and she was very proud of herself. Kasey also kept trying to step up and down off the patio. Every once in a while she would just sit down on the patio to rest. It was cute.

Grammy and Gramps said that she said Grammy and she is calling Gramps something that they can't quite understand. Gramps also said that Kasey is trying to pick up multiple things at a time. She's also riding a big wheel at their house and loves it.

2/24 - after dinner Kasey did the sign for banana to ask for one.

Landon had soccer practice today and ran away from the group again. This is a new issue that we have which is really scary. He did it last week outside of a restaurant. He loses his blanket to sleep with, but doesn't seem to be having an impact.

Landon has pajama day at school. I think he had fun, but wanted to change as soon as he got home.

2/23 - She definitely did the sign for elephant tonight while we were reading a book. I had a conference call so Greg had taken milk upstairs assuming that he was putting Kasey to bed. My call got done early. She drank most of the bottle, and then also drank milk from me like she normally does. Maybe she's in a growth spurt. She also kept wanting me to do twinkle twinkle little star several times. She kept laughing every time I started singing. She's started doing the milk sign and crying when just about anyone puts her down. It's hard to walk away from that.

2/22 - Last night before Kasey went to bed, she decided to get down and play a little in her room. She got one of her bears out. I asked her to go get her elephant in her room and she did. Then I asked her to go get the dog out of her basket and she did. Then a little later she kept asking me to sing twinkle twinkle little star.

Mid Feb - Kasey hears Twinkle Twinkle little star in gymboree, and she does the sign for it. This weekend Landon was humming the tune to it in the car. Even without words Kasey figured it out and started doing the sign for star. Very sweet. Now we sign that song in the car more

2/19 - We went to dinner at Doodies tonight. Landon had to go potty. He said he wanted to go by himself. I didn't really want him to go off on his own completely, but I let him go into the mens room and I stood outside. He opened the door to show me there was a TV in there, and then he couldn't reach the sink so I took him in the womens bathroom to wash his hands. My baby is growing up.
