My baby is 2!

Can 2 years really have gone by?
Landen--you are such a joy to have around. I can't imagine our little family without your funny personality! we love you so much!
My top ten FAVORITE Landen quirks:

1. He wakes up in the morning, and the first thing out of his mouth is, "Candy, mommy?"

2. when he walks his arms swing back and forth like he's running really hard. then when he does run, his legs go the same speed, but his arms go faster. haha
3. Whenever I'm doing the dishes, Logan and Landen play tag (or some form of wrestling tag) and Landen always thinks that if he hides behind my legs, Logan can't get me.

4. he LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVES his big brother--to death.
5. He's a little obsessed with movies, his favorite being Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. Which he proceeded to snap in half a week after we got it. He has unique names for each movie--and most people can't figure out what he's saying. Except for one movie. Jumanji. Like the hardest one to say--clear as a bell.
6. His famous face--the constantly surprised look. kate, Marlyce--you know what I'm talking about!
7. Instead of goodnight, he always says goodbye.

8. He's crazy--CRAZY strong.

9. He can make a basket on our hoop 90% of the time.
10. to me--my favorite thing he says is one simple word. "yea!" I can ask him any question and this is the answer.

one more...

11. his favorite game is get the bad guys. He makes some sweet gun noises!
Oh, my Landen boy, you are so utterly cute--I can't wait to see what this new year brings for you!

((HUGS))
MOMMY!

Loads of fun!

WOW--we have a crazy weekend ahead of us! Landen's 2nd birthday is tomorrow so on Sat. we're having a party and then Sunday is valentines day and my family is going to be in town for the weekend. PARTY! I decided at the last minute to not do my "Wild Things" party for Landen--everywhere I went to get supplies for the decorations, they didn't have ANYTHING. so frustrating. Oh, well--it will still be fun. He keeps saying his going to rip the presents open. That's the only thing he cares about!

I'm making valentines all day today--and doing another experiment with the boys. Should be a fun, relaxing day! I got a couple more layouts and cards done this week, here's some of them:
have a wonderful day!

Kung Fu Panda Tiger kicks

I got out Kung Fu Panda for Logan to watch the other day--it's been a while since we watched it last. Now he's going around the house with is tiger mask on doing the "good" tiger kicks. He even put on a kung fu display for me yesterday. I just oooohed and aaaaahed and his spectacular ability to kick the air. Oh, and don't forget the incredible slicing he did with his blade-hands. No bad guys better come over to our house! LOL He cracks me up!

Did everyone have a good superbowl? We got together with some friends--us girls sat upstairs and chatted the whole time! Love it! Couldn't beat the food either--I think I gained at least 5 lbs! But it wouldn't be the superbowl without some weight gain. haha

I've got a couple things to share today--here's a fun baby card using Making Memories paper and Hero Arts stamps--love those little elephants!

And a fun layout I made of Logan's dream last week. Crazy. Used June Bug papers on here.
Get creative today--I'm heading down to my scrap room! :)

Bwahahahaha (mad scientist laugh)

Logan got this fantastic Science experiment book from his Grandma at Christmas! We're going to try to do a couple each week--they really are so fun! And easy, so that's a plus for me! This week we made bubbling brew--you know, vinegar and baking soda. We added food coloring and lots of glitter to ours. The boys kept putting their hands in it and smelled forever like vinegar, but it's worth it! It's so fun to see them get totally excited.

Bwhahahahaha--just had to do it again!

When your kids tell it like it is

We were watching TV the other night and a Proactiv commercial came on. Logan looks at me and says, "Mommy you need that!" Thanks Logan. I have two pimples on my face. Not even that bad, but Logan apparently thinks it is. So now I'll just hide out in my house until my adult acne clears up. LOL
Here's my Core'dinations February projects--really love these new embossed papers! This is a fun picture of Logan last summer dipping in the pool with his Poppie.

And a fun little card for Valentines day:
Have a great day!

Kandis

what a day!

I was so nervous all morning long, seeing as how it was my first week in Primary. I did screw up a couple things--but I made it out alive and learned a couple lessons! ;) It's going to take me a little while to get to know all the kids names--hopefully not too long!

Then I got some bad news--my wonderful grandmother is in the hospital. She's been going through Chemo for Colon cancer. She had to be taken off of it because she kept fainting. Now she had Bronchitis and a blood clot in her leg. I really hope she is able to recover and come home. It breaks my heart to be so far away from them at this time. I pray she knows how much I love her and miss her. She will be in good hands at the hospital. it's just scary.

Here's my garden seeds for January... a little late posting them... check out everyone's work over at 2peas!
I hope you have a wonderful night!

The M says uhhhhhh

Logan's been trying to learn his letters. At least, I've been trying to teach him. He's not too interested. We borrowed a movie called The Letter Factory from some of our friends and he's been watching it over and over. Each time a new letter comes on he runs up the stairs and says, "mommy, I learned a new letter-- M! And it makes the sound uhhhhhh!" I don't have the heart to tell him he's TOTALLY wrong! haha! I know he'll eventually get it--I'm not too worried about him! Plus he's got the good looks and some sweet dance moves so he'll be JUST fine!

I've been crazy busy around here lately--nothing new, I guess! But this time, I've been called to be the new Primary President in our ward. Talk about scary for me. I've been in Relief Society for years and years, so it's hard to transition! But, I'm very excited to get to know all the kids--I just hope I don't screw it up too bad!

I have a couple cards for you today-- on this one, I was digging through my scrap bin and came across this cute jenni bowlin journaling tag--looks just like a house! Hero Arts stamps for the tree, grass,hearts, and HA heart gems too! Those rubons are American Crafts and the little bird is cut out of Basic Grey paper.

Modge podge--this one, I threw a bunch of random stuff on! HA butterfly stamps, Maya Road transparency, SEI diecuts.

Have a wonderful night!

a new look.

I think my blog is in desperate need of a new look. I'm soooo blog unsavvy that it's unbelievable, but I should be able to come up with something... one of these days! LOL

We had a great day--Logan's friends came over and us mom's chatted it up a bit. We made it through with only a couple smacks on the head and two tantrums--- the kids, not the moms! hehe Logan even did a little dance session for my friend Kate, he is really good at breakdancing. I really need to video tape it! hilarious. Kate asked where he learned his moves... from me of course! ;)

A couple cards to share with you today before I run off to work on my new curtains.

Have a wonderful night!

Midnight munchies...

So I'm learning that I should never watch Diners, Drive-in's and Dives before bed--major cravings! Need me a giant cheeseburger right now! But off to bed I go... :(

Here's a layout for you--love this pic of Logan and Brandon. They love each other so much! I used all kinds of boyish stuff on here, stars, blues, oranges, metal, chains, etc.

I didn't get much scrapping done today, more organizing than anything. fun. I hope I'll get some time tomorrow to scrap!

hugs,

Kandis

First post of 2010...

Only 7 days late! LOL

We've been pretty busy around here lately trying to get back into a routine of some sort. Brandon and I started P90X again--and my whole body hurts! But it's a good kind of pain. We're decorating the house, slowly, and trying to stay out of the 10" of snow we have outside! Plus, it's -12 degrees out today, so looks like my plans for sledding are out of the question! Maybe tomorrow! So for today, I'm cleaning, organizing, hanging pictures, painting, scraping, and playing dominoes with Logan! Maybe I won't even change out of my pjs! hehe

I got to dive into my yummy Core'dinations cardstock this month and I came up with these layouts-- really love the one of logan!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful Thursday! :)

hugs,

Kandis
