Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone... and long time no blog! I am, in fact, the worst blogger ever, apparently, so I apologize. I don't really have much excuse except that Facebook sucks me into it horrible trance and I succumb because well... it's Facebook, and I am but a weak human. So, yeah. What's new with us???

Well, Brandon finally got his class date, and is now in school at Vandenburg, AFB, in Lompoc California. His classes should be done June 8th. Then he will come back here and out process, set up TMO, and we'll be leaving Tucson the end of June/first part of July. It's now bittersweet. I truly do not feel at home here in Tucson, but we have really made some great friends that we DO consider family. If anything does change with dates and whatnot, I will let everyone know :o)

Now, on to the big guy himself! Landis had his 18 month check up about a month ago. He is 31inches tall, and weighs 23 lbs! He's a little higher on the charts for his hieght and weight for his age, but he's still a little guy. He is talking like crazy, too! His newest phrases are:

"I ning ning!!" (I'm cleaning!)
"Eeshoo!" (Bless you)
"Is broken!" (Everything is broken these days, I guess!)
"Is for Puppy?"
"Wow... coooool!"

And he calls me Bonnie half the time. It's pretty funny. He is completely obsessed with ANYTHING you clean with. Vacuums, mops, swiffers, brooms, washcloths, wipes, sponges, scrub brushes... we are going to get him one of those electric sweepers for his birthday. Then all his cleaning efforts won't be in vain!! He could at least do some damage on the dog hair.

He had a fun Easter, I think! We really missed Brandon. It's the second Easter Brandon has missed with Landis, but next year will be REALLY fun, because then I'm sure Landis will totally get it!! He didn't understand he should keep the eggs and collect them in his basket. He just opened them up and dumped out what was inside! I have posted a lot of pictures, so just check out all the fun he had yesterday!



Landis's Easter Basket 2010





Rubber ducky and fun books!




And he HAD to have a puppy!






He climbed up into our big dining room chair all by himself! He's rebelling against his high chair.






Still one of his favorite foods. This banana only lasted about 10 seconds.






Emptying all of the eggs












This kid loves to read his books!






Crazy amount of Easter grass death.






Landis and Drake played before the Easter egg hunt!






See all the open eggs?? He quickly learned the bigger, patterned eggs had Hotwheels inside :o)






He also REALLY loves bubbles!






Drake's Daddy, James, helped with the bubbles.






Yay!












Checking out his Easter Egg Hunt Loot...







Definitely have to frame this one!






"Wow... coooool!"
