One year pics

My friend Melissa was in town for a day and asked to take pictures of the boys. I was so excited that she wanted to take them. I LOVE how they turned out and I am having trouble picking my favs. Here are just a couple. I will post more later, but here is a sneak peak. :-)

Ball pit and tunnel

Grandma got the boys a ball tent pit with a 5ft tunnel. Last night I went ahead and set it up in my living room floor. The boys LOVED it! Jalen loved going in and out of the tunnel, while Landon played and threw the balls. First thing they did this morning was playing in the balls. This tent is made to be for outdoors, but inside won't hurt for a while. We may stick it in their play area and just leave it there. :-) Here are some pictures of them playing.

First Haircut

It was time to get Jalen a haircut. His bangs were hanging down to his nose!

Jalen Before...




After :-)

He looks so handsome!


I think he likes it too!

I can't keep up!

Jalen is ALL OVER the place now! His favorite thing to do is climb! He will climb stairs, over furniture, boxes, crib, dogs, people...nothing will stand in his way! He does everything so gracefully now too. When he started climbing over the couches, he would fall. However, it did not bother him at all and now he does it with style and lands on the feet. Landon is his watch dog and just sits there quietely with some smiles. I have two boys with totally different personalities. Jalen likes to shake his head no and Landon likes to nod his with yes.

Jalen had a little fit today. He was upset because I told him to stay out of fish tank cabinet. So while standing near his toy chest, he started taking each toy one by one and throwing them on the floor. We had a nice little talk about how that was not nice. I am sure he understood all of it. :-) They are my little explorers and I can not get mad. They have a huge world around them and they are learning new things everyday.

Landon is now transitioning to one nap a day. Jalen still wants his two. He sleeps a lot better than Landon does during the day. When it comes to food, Landon will eat his meat and Jalen just spits it out. He will eat hotdogs though. They usually get their protein from beans. They LOVE beans!

I still can't believe how fast they are growing!

Mom goes back to work=exhausted!

Sorry for the lack of blog updates, but I have recently went back to work and I am so tired. When I get home, I just want to snuggle with my babies since I am gone more. I am currently working two jobs! I went from none to two! I am still doing work for the Census and I am working again at what I do best...hospitality. I was suppose to start off as PT, but they needed FT. So the last two weeks, I have been working 70 hrs/week. The Census job is about over for my area, however they are still needing help from others to get the job done. So I am going to help out, but not work as much. The pay is too good to let go.

Jalen and Landon are getting so big and I can't believe how much they are learning every day. We are so close to walking. They both will take a step, but then when they realize they are not holding on, they gracefully sit down. It cracks me up. They are also enjoying all the food they get now. I am still having to explain to Jeremy that crackers and yogurt is NOT a dinner or cake and ice cream. Yes he fed them that for dinner once. Their milk now, is like a snack. They can fully eat a full meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My grocery bill is starting to increase. Jordan eats like a teenager too! :-)

Smimming is their favorite thing to do! Here is proof! They both love going to grandma's and grandpa's to swim.





Landon is tired of smiling.
