There's room for one more!!

Well the news is out and it is no longer a surprise..........We are expecting another child in April 2010. This news was totally a surprise to us at first but now that it has soaked in we are all excited to have another one on the way. Landon is really excited that he is going to be a big brother. Of course he says that he wants a lil' brother but I think he would be satisfied with a sister as well. I know for sure that this child was God's plan for our family. In my heart I have always wanted two children but I knew that if I had to plan a pregnancy then it would never happen. I was always justifying why I couldn't.... it wasn't the right time, I don't have enough time with one much less two, I just don't feel like getting big again (the list goes on and on)!! Well God disregarded all of those false toughts and listened to my heart!! I wish it was as easy for us to follow our hearts as it is for Jesus!! I will keep you all posted on the progress over the next 9 months!!

Pumpkin Fun!

Landon and Bobby had a good time carving the pumpkin that Grandaddy Steve picked out for us. I drew the face, Daddy carved, and Landon and Daddy did the cleaning. Landon making a Jack O Lantern face

Eww..... Whats all that in there dad?

Still Beach Bumming....

Here are some more fun pictures of Landon! Here he is doing his excited dance. Probably trying to make Peyton laugh!! Peyton thinks Landon is the funniest thing

Landon is trying to pull Taylor on her boogie board. We had fun pulling the kids around on their boards. When we all got tired they turned to each other for pulling.

I was trying to get a group picture of Landon, Peyton, Savannah, and Taylor on their boards. As you can see it was a real task trying to get them all on the same page. Landon was getting tired of the camera at this point.

Beach Bumming!

Me, Casey, Landon, Peyton, and Grandma Shirley headed to Atlantic Beach for a few days. Landon and Peyton had a great time playing in the sand and splashing in the ocean. Of course me and Casey got our fun out of taking pictures all day. We really had captured some great moments. Here is Casey Landon and Peyton playing in the waves. Landon borrowed the goggles from Mrs. Trudy's granddaughter, Taylor. You can't tell here but they were pink. I can't believe that he even put them on his head!!

This was a good close up of Landon. Looks like a Beach Bum! He said that he wanted to stay at the beach forever

Peyton getting his hands all sandy while digging a hole on the beach

Savannah, Blake, and Nick were at the beach too! Landon and Peyton & Savannah had a chance to play together almost all afternoon

Take me to the River.. Drop me in the Water

Landon is in love with this fish mounted at the river. Friday afternoon he spent hours pressing the button and singing Take me to the River, Drop me in the water...... Press Play and watch him sing!

Me, Bobby, and Landon headed down to the family river cottage this weekend to relax and enjoy the sun! We invited some friends and family to join in on the fun and we had a blast. We all played in the sand & water, caught crabs with chicken tied to a string, went fishing, played ball, & most of all relaxed!! I played with my new toy (camera) all weekend and tried to capture Landon's every move. Here are just a few of my snapshots.

A Picture is Worth a Million Words!!!

So as you know from one of my earlier post I have been without a camera for a few months. Me and My Mom have been doing our research on digital SLR cameras and with the help of a wonderful sales rep from Best Buy I finally purchased a Nikon D-5000. Let me tell you .......I am IN LOVE with this camera!!!! I am a little overwhelmed with all that this camera has to offer but I am up to the challenge. I cannot wait to share with you the pictures that I have already taken and most of all the ones that have yet to be created!!! I feel like my passion and dream of becoming a photographer is slowly unfolding with every snapshot that I take!!!
