First trip to the Dentist

Landen had his first Dentist appointment on Monday. Both he and I had an appointment so it was just the two of us that went. He was scared to sit in the chair so I went first. I got him to sit on my lap. He was being shy the whole time. Finally one of the ladies got him to go explore the office with her. Then he started to relax. Another one of the ladies took him to pick out a toy then he acted like he owned the place. One of the ladies was playing with him with a bouncy ball and kept asking him if she could look at his teeth and he would keep saying "nope". So he never let them look at his teeth. Now I have to take him to a Pediatric Dentist. When we left he was telling everyone bye as if he had known them for a long time. He was really excited to get to take home a new toothbrush and tooth paste.

Landen got a hold of my camera and broke it so it will be a while before I am able to post more pictures.

Swing accident

I was just pushing Landen and Dade on the swings at the playground outside our apartments. Landen kept sliding forward on the swing and then as the swing was going forward he just let go. He fell backward off the swing and landed on his head. It scared me so bad. I ran up to Landen and he was just lying there looking around like he didn't know what had just happened. He started to move so I told him to just lie there and I asked him if he was okay. He said he was okay. I asked him again if he was hurt and he said that he was okay. So I had him get up. I was so surprised he didn't cry because it looked like it had hurt. I think he was just shocked at what happened and still not sure of what happened. He looked at me and said "fall off" then he said he wanted to swing again. I got him on the swing and told him to hold on and not to let go. He said "okay hold on, be careful". What a trooper. He fell off the swing and just got right back on like nothing happened.

Happy Halloween

We had a good Halloween. We first went to "This is the Place Monument" and just walked around. Then we went to the Foothill Village shopping center and did some trick or treating there. Landen got a lot of candy. Dade just enjoyed being out side and being held. We went home and got some dinner. I made a Halloween pizza. Then Drew took the kids around our apartment buildings and did some more trick or treating.

Here is Landen and his pumpkin

He had fun picking out the face pieces and putting them on. If I would have let him he probable would have put all the pieces on the pumpkin.

Here are their costumes. Landen as a handy man, and Dade as Tigger. I had a lot of fun making Landen's costume. I think Dade looks so cute as Tigger.

At the Foothill Village shopping center there was a guy dressed as a robot. Landen didn't like the robot so much, he was scared of him. I was lucky to even get this picture. Dade just stared at the robot.

This was the face Dade had the whole time. He had fun just looking around at everything.

I would put Dade's hood over his eyes and play peek-a-boo with him and he would start laughing so hard. He loves to play peek-a-boo.

This was my Halloween pizza I made.

Landen trick or treating in our court. Every time they would get done at one apartment Landen would ask Drew "More trick or treat?". He had a lot of fun getting candy.

Fall is here

Landen and Dade got to play in a pile of leaves today. Here are some pictures I got of them.

My Project

This was my project I did yesterday. It took me all day (with a few breaks), but I got it done in one day. Its a tool belt for Landen. He is going to be a Handy Man for Halloween. I am making his costume so I made a tool belt to go with it. I used a suede material so it will be nice and strong and last for awhile beacuse I know he will want to play with it after Halloween. I am so happy with how it came out. Now I still have to figure out what to do for Dade. I will put more pictures up for Halloween so you can see the whole costume.

Yeah Landen and Yeah Dade

Well potty training is finally going well. Landen is now in underwear. He still wants help with pulling his pants up and down (even though he can do it by himself). He also wants us right there to watch him go potty. We are still working on going poop in the toilet. He knows he isn't suppose to poop in his underwear but he doesn't want to go in the toilet so sometimes he won't poop for a few days. Then he just cant hold it any more and has an accident in his underwear. I am not sure what to do about that. I am really excited about not having to buy any more diapers for him.

Dade is finally starting to army crawl. He did it for the first time on Tuesday. He can't decide between army crawling or doing this inchworm thing so he kind of does both. His inchworm thing is really funny to watch. He gets up on his hands and knees and flings himself forward onto his stomach. He is so excited about being able to move around. He will finally let me put him down for more than 2 minutes.

I love my boys. They both have such great personalities. It is so fun to watch them grow and learn new things. Landen is learning to talk back and give me attitude. It is very frustrating but when I look back it is also very funny. I have been doing a lot better with learning to not lose my temper and have more patience with both of them. Dade makes us laugh all the time. He always does the weirdest and funnies things. It is so fun to see how well Landen and Dade get along. I hope they always stay close.

Here are a few pictures of our House. I will put some of our kitchen and our room after I clean them.This is Dade's room.

On the Left is the closet.

Here is Landen's room. On the right is the dryer and TV. We can't use our dryer so it is the TV stand.

He has all the rest of his toys in the closet. It is nice having a place to put it.

The living room. The opening on the right goes to the hall and on the Left is the kitchen.

Its a little crowded but every thing fits.

Here is one picture of the Kitchen. I still have to do the dishes before I can show the other side.

Here is the hallway from Dades room. The door on the left is our room. The last door on the left is Landen's room. On the Right next to the washer is the bathroom.

Videos of Dade

Dade is such a Daredevil. After Drew did this with him a few times he started throwing himself back.


This is Dade's new thing. I promise he is not pooping. He started doing it when he was mad but since me and Drew laughed at him he now does it all the time.
