It has been awhile!

Day 92: I know, I know! I have not written a post in a long time. It all started a couple weeks back when I was feeling just blah. Then the boys were blah. There was just a whole lot of blah going around. I did however post my pictures to Facebook. So, I am not a complete failure for this whole 365 project. Today was a great day. It was my first official day of SPRING BREAK. NINE  whole days without having to deal with 6th graders and their craziness. Anyways.
   My stepdad has a horse that he keeps at my grandma's house, who lives literally two blocks from us. He went riding today and on the way back he stopped by our house on the horse to show Hunter. Frank made Tony get on the horse. It was hilarious. Tony has never been on a horse other than a carousel at Disneyland. In my mind I was hoping that the horse would just take off like lightning. That didn't happen. But, it was still pretty funny. What was even funnier was Tony trying on Frank's cowboy that was about 5 sizes too small. Hunter was in the background saying "Woohoo Cowboy!" Priceless. Hunter liked the horse but didn't want to get on it.

      Yesterday, I got my new floor drops and backdrops in. However, BIG problem. They were ripped. But since I really wanted to test them out I had to use them wisely and in a small area. They are 5x8 feet and I had to essentially cut that space in half. I do LOVE them though. I decided to test them out with Landon. My mom found one of my grandpa's old hard suitcases. It is AWESOME. The second suitcase I got at a thrift store for 4 bucks and the third one I got at Ross.

   Last, but certainly not least...Hunter. Tony found this cool park literally three minutes from our house. We took the boys there. Tony said it wasn't busy. WRONG!!! It was today. Baseball/Softball games were going on. No big deal though. Hunter had a blast going on the slides and playing with the pirate ship. He is a typical boy. He didn't want to leave. While he was playing Landon and I ran a lap with the stroller around the park. It has a nice jogging trail.

Stuffed Animals Frenzy!

Day 74...Today, I captured a moment of Hunter during bedtime. It is a routine that cracks me up. When Hunter goes to bed he has to have every stuffed animal that he owns with him: Buzz, Woody, Baby Woody, Rex, the doggy, the birdie. Did I miss anything? Tony has to wait for Hunter to completely fall asleep before he carefully pulls them off of him. The funny thing is, in the morning when he walks out to the front half asleep, he is holding one of the stuffed animals. Landon also had an obsession with stuffed animals. Well, actually just one. It used to be Hunter's. He was trying to eat it.

Diapers and Towels

Day 73....I am making this short and sweet because the Bachelor Finale is on. Lame...I know. But I am HOOKED. Landon found a diaper, a clean one, on the floor. He finds just about anything and everything. Hunter is fresh out of the bath in his monster towel. That's it...back to my show.

Disneyland!

Day 72...We took a short trip to Disneyland. One of the benefits of having a pass is that you do not feel obligated to stay from open to close. We figured that it was a nice day and we needed a little break. It was a beautiful day. Hunter had so much fun riding the rides and meeting a few friends. I thought that he might be a little freaked out by the characters. I was wrong. He walked right up to Goofy, Pluto, and Mr. Incredible and gave them all hugs, no hesitation. It was great. Landon had a blast too, I think. Although, he didn't meet any characters.

Sneaky and Sleepy

Day 71...As I was editing pictures from a photo shoot, Mr. Sneaky, AKA Hunter, was licking frosting from a cupcake on the table. It was pretty funny. He didn't want the cake part, just the frosting. He walks into the office with a glob of white frosting on his index finger and says "look mama!" He was very proud of his accomplishment of stading on his tiptoes and reaching to get the frosting. Landon was...you guessed it....SLEEPING. Although, it wasn't for very long. He started whimpering when he realized that noone was near him.

Rockin' Out

Day 70...Craziness I tell...craziness. Hunter was running around like a mad man, rockin out on his plastic guitar. He was crouching down. It was hilarious. Then he would run around the couch and then immediately stop and get in the guitar stance. He gets this serious face with his lips puckered. The sounds he makes are pretty comical too. Landon was looking at him like "what the heck is his problem?" I don't blame him though. I had to take two quick shots because my mom picked them up so Tony and I could have a much needed date night. That is also why this post is so early too. I don't want to have to worry about this later. Wink-Wink.

Bathtime and Huh???

Day 69...Take I snapped a shot of Hunter during bathtime. He is so stinkin' cute. Landon on the other hand was rolling around on his mat playing peek-a-boo with me. It was pretty funny. Short and sweet!

Girl scout cookies and a runny nose

Day 68...My mom calls me at 3:15 saying she "kidnapped" Hunter from daycare when she picked up my niece, who also goes to the same daycare. Okay. That means I had to scramble to get today's pictures in. Hunter enjoyed his first Girl Scout Cookies today, thank you Miss Nina. At least they were the healthiest one...I think. The name is besides me right now. Landon, oh Landon. He was so attached today. Every time I would leave the room he would freak out. This is the picture I got of his little face, red eyes and runny nose. He was crying hysterically. When I came back in the room all smiles.

SHHH and Roar

Day 67...Well, my boys couldn't be more oppposite today. Hunter was loud and Landon was a sleeping angel. Although, Hunter still isn't nearly as loud as my niece. LOL. Steph if you are reading this...sorry. But it is the truth. I don't know who she takes after. Hmmmm....not her mom. Maybe her auntie. Hunter was getting ready for his bedtime routine with daddy. Brushing teeth, bath, books, and nighty night. When he was brushing his teeth he started covering his face. He said "mama no pictures." All while he was laughing. Landon fell asleep on the floor. He tuckered himself out trying to grab everything that Hunter had taken out.

A Doggy and a Race Car!

Day 66...Well, we took a trip to Lowe's to get a new shower head. The one we have doesn't move and that was ANNOYING! Anyways. Hunter knows that at Lowe's he gets to ride in the race car. This was the smile he gave me as he drove us around the store.

Landon is just mesmerized by Hunter's talking toy dog. He kept on looking at the blinking collar. He would roll just to see it.

SLACKER!

I am a SLACKER. I totally forgot to post my pictures to the blog yesterday. I was so busy editing pictures from a senior photo session yesterday and trying to get the pictures of my boys up, that it totally slipped my mind.  So, I am posting both days.


Day 64:  During dinner, Hunter was once again telling us the animal sounds. The hilarious part is that the monkey, the ducky, the snake, the pig, the dog, and the cat all have distinct sounds, meaning you can understand. The tiger, the lion, and the bear....it gets a little shady. They all kind of sound the same. The roar gets angrier. The funny thing is that the bear actually sounds the scariest. Landon was going to town on his little hand. Those teeth are coming in. He hates pacifiers. But loves his thumb. Hunter was the same way though.

Day 65: Hunter has my genes. He is definitely a mini me. He SWEATS! He was running around all day and it looks like he just took a shower. Landon on the other hand, was rolling to check out his big brother. Hunter was making a lot of noise. Landon was intrigued by all the commotion.

A Golden Spoon and A Flashlight!

Day 63...TGIF!!! It was a crazy stressful week at work. What better way to treat myself...golden spoon frozen yogurt. DELICIOUS, is what Hunter said. It is nonfat too! Not that it would have mattered. I would've had a bowl of fattening rocky road ice cream too. Don't knock me. It is my treat since I don't really drink (nursing...duh!) I am not one to pump and dump. That stuff is liquid gold, not to be wasted. LOL!!! Anyways. I got this shot of Hunter eating his very own frozen yogurt. Although, I am slightly irritated. What flavors are the staple flavors that every ice cream/frozen yogurt place should have.....chocolate, vanilla, and......STRAWBERRY! The one by our house didn't have strawberrry. SERIOUSLY! How can you not have strawberry, but you can have graham cracker. GRRRRR!!! Back to Hunter. He only had a few bites and then was more interested in mine because it had strawberry topping. While we were enjoying our ice cream, Landon was enjoying playing with Hunter's flashlight. Hunter wasn't having that. So, Hunter went to Landon's toy basket and got him his doggy and then gently took the flashlight back.

Harmonica and Landon

Day 62: It has been a day. I am so stressed out from work. I teach sixth grade, need I say more. I love my job, don't get me wrong. What I don't love are sixth graders who feel like it is okay to be blatantly disrespectful and defiant, and yet feel entitled to everything under the sun. Anyways! But, when I get home, I get to see these two precious faces. They are my world. Hunter was cracking me up with his harmonica. He actually is getting much better at it. Although at one point he did put it in his mouth the wrong way. If he is not playing his guitar, he is playing with his drumsticks and finding anything to hit with them. And now he has the harmonica. Maybe we have a future Grammy winner??? LOL! Only time will tell. Landon...what can I say ADORABLE. I dressed him in his "my aunt rocks" shirt that my sister bought for him. He is happy just chillin' on the floor. I love these boys!

Movers Poster and a Shorty!

Day 61...Hunter absolutely loves all of his Movers souvenirs from the concert on Saturday. They gave out this mini poster as we were walking out the door. This poster goes with him everywhere...bed, the car, wherever. Along with the wobble goggles and drumsticks. He loves his movers. Landon is my little shorty. He is not tall enough to reach the ground in his jumper. I have to put a pillow under his feet. It doesn't help that he is not chunky either. He still has fun anyway. I also realized tonight that his second tooth is coming in on the bottom. I am hoping to get a picture soon.

Drumsticks and On the Move!

Day 60...Here we go, really quick. I am exhausted. A couple of my sixth graders just are mentally draining. Anyways! Back to my pride and joy...my boys. Hunter is just obsessed with anything having to do with the Imagination Movers. At the concert on Saturday, we bought him these light up "drumsticks." He will not put them down! I am pretty sure the batteries are going to die soon. However, they can be replaced. Landon on the other hand...is all over the place. He is a baby on the move. When I lay him down on the carpet he is rolling and scooting all over. He usually gets himself stuck because he ends up next to the couch or his swing. It is hilarious. I got this shot of him as he got himself in between his playmat and Hunter's little chair.

Shots and a Poser!

Day 59....Well, 2 months are now complete. Only 10 months to go. Today, we had to take Landon to Kaiser for his 6 month appointment. This means shots! Yuck. Landon is now a whopping 15 pounds and 3.4 ounces, 25 inches long, and not quite sure what the head measurement is. Our pediatrician said he was not the biggest guy but was tracking along perfectly. He does have a big head but not huge like Hunter's was at the same age. Landon only cried for about 10 seconds after his shots. This picture of him crying is a first in this project. There was bound to be one. Hunter saw my camera came out and he said "mama, you take my picture." So, he sat on the floor and gave me this face. ADORABLE!!!

Fish Face, Wobble Goggles, and A Sleeping Baby

Day 58...It was a busy day of trying to get things done (still working on it). I am posting these way early because I am leaving shortly for an Oscar Viewing Party at a friend's house. I was trying to get Hunter to do the fish face and this is what he came up with. As for the goggles on his head, they are not any ordinary goggles. They are Imagination Mover Scott wobble goggles. He has not taken them off very often. I took this quick shot of Landon sleeping. He is so peaceful.

Imagination Movers and a Cutie!

Day 57...We took Hunter to his first concert! Yes, his first concert. We took him to see the Imagination Movers at the Nokia Live. It was a really good show. We would totally go again. Of course, we didn't leave there without getting a few souvenirs...wobble goggles, a movers t-shirt (that will be worn as PJs for awhile), and light up glow sticks. Tony and I decided a few months ago that we were going to spend individual time with each of our boys. Today was all about Hunter. We dropped Landon off at my moms. We had a nice lunch at Miguel's and then drove to LA. However, I sadly have one REGRET, Tony (sorry babe I am going to blame this one on you...but I still LOVE you) told me to leave my nice camera at home and take our small one (which I HATE). I was hoping to take better pictures but it just wasn't happening. So, the picture I got isn't the greatest. It will have to do though. I think Hunter was a little confused on where we were at. I think he was trying to figure out why the guys he watches on TV were singing on a stage and why there was a bunch of people around him. He didn't get crazy excited like he does when they come on TV. The experience was priceless though. Just watching him take it all in was fantastic.

Landon...well, what can I say. CUTIE. My mom told me that he is just so good and that we were LUCKY!!! My aunt tried to tell me while I was pregnant that the second one wouldn't be the same. Well, I would totally have to DISAGREE with her. We have the two most calm, loving boys on the planet. They are such happy boys. No fussing. An occasional tantrum from Hunter, remember he is 2.

5. They are both such good natured little guys.
