Trip home

We had a lot of fun at home in Idaho and Utah during Ben's spring break. We decided since we don't have any idea where Ben's future job will take us we'd better make a visit out there when we had time and both kids were still free to fly. (By the way, I would never suggest flying with a toddler--ugh). We spent 5 days at both of our parents' homes and got to have fun visiting with family and friends.

For the most part the kids remained healthy so that was nice. Thank you to all that visited with us. And a special thanks to Mom and Dad Davis for taking us to and from the airport.

Below is a picture of the three newest kids to Ben's side of the family. Left to Right, Gracie, Carson, and Katelyn.

And the video posted below is of Uncle Ethan and Uncle Keven throwing Landon around. He really enjoyed it. My favorite part is when he almost falls over with dizziness but then just goes right back for more--silly kid.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Kjar

We had a wonderful treat in mid-february when Ben's grandma and grandpa Kjar came out with Uncle Bill and Aunt Eileen for a visit to Nashville, TN. We got to spend two evenings with them and it was wonderful. The kids loved all the attention that they got. Thanks so much for coming to see us, and thanks Aunt Eileen for the blankets you made.

Though Landon can be a handful he won them over with his baby-blues
Their visit to our apartment

The timeshare condo they were staying at. Landon loved investigating it.

Happy Valentines Day-These cute outfits were given to the kiddos by Grandma D.

I love that they look like they want to be as far apart as they can...flash forward to when they are teenagers!

Katelyn sure loves her daddy. And she's pretty much got him wrapped around her finger already.

This was the best shot we could get of Landon's shirt. It says "Moms Love Me," so watch out girls, he's a real catch.

The exersaucer

Landon thinks all Katelyn's new toys are his too. Yet, he's not too big on sharing his own toys...somethings gotta give eventually. He does love his "sissy" though.

I may be biased, but...

These kids are the cutest in the WORLD... (at least My world)

A brotherly kiss

Landon was fascinated with Katelyn's bow so I put it in his hair...he didn't like that.

"You can't see me, Mom." Ah, yes I can, Landon :-)
He hid because I was going to change his diaper.

I think the coat is a little big, but he has one month to grow into it before we visit Utah and Idaho.

Katelyn's getting better at supporting her head so we sit her in the bumbo seat more often now. Landon thinks it is an awesome seat.

I wanted to get a picture of Landon's cute sweater vest outfit and the only way we could get him to stop was for me to catch him. He sure is fast.

And in this video Landon gives Katelyn kisses with the lamb.

Two Months Old

So our Katelyn Jane had a mini photoshoot two weeks ago when she hit her 2 month mark. She is so cute, and smiles all the time now. She even jabbers. I love her double chin, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

And here is Landon at 2 months. You compare--do they look alike?

Chattanooga Trip

We took a mini trip down to Chattanoogo, TN over Christmas break since Ben has school and work off in between semesters. We had been to Chattanoogo once for a one night stay and decided it was a place we would like to go back and spend more time at. So we did, even though we were all a bit sick. We visited the Aquarium and let Landon play with the sharks.
This picture reminded me of Happy Feet, when Mumble ends up in an aquarium. Landon loves Happy Feet because off all the dancing music, so we thought he'd like the penguins, but he wasn't that into them. But if they would of started dancing he'd have joined right in.

Ben showing his little guy the fishes. Landon didn't get too close to the glass because he thought he was going to fall in the water!


This is a replica of the world's largest turtle shell. Landon thought it made a pretty good drum.


CHATTANOOGO CHOO CHOO
It was cold this day, but Landon loved saying choo, choo to a real train.

Our little train engineer


But he was a little afraid once the engine started up. I'd say it was 25 cents wasted, but it was hard not to laugh at the poor little guy's reaction. He's quick.

Mayfield Dairy

This is Maggie Moo. Landon loved the "moo,moo", but unfortunatley the tour was going to be a one and half hour wait so we just got some ice cream instead.

He always wants to feed himself now.


FUN in the Hotel

Our little ones on a king size bed--look at Lando's hair!

He slept so soundly in his portable crib because he was too big to flip from side to side and his bink's never fell out like they do in the crib at home. Notice he still has two, one for the mouth and one for his hand. He's not going to like what's coming at age two when there are no more binkis for night,night time.

Landon is such an observer. He just sat on the couch, grabbed a burp cloth and put it on shoulder and kept trying to get Ben to put Katelyn on his shoulder.

And since Katelyn didn't make it in very many pics, because she was covered up to keep the cold out most of the time, here's a short clip that shows how much she's growing. (As you can tell I had very little use of my voice on this trip, and at the very end of the video Landon says "Bye,Bye" in the background)
