quick trip to the mountains

We decided while eating dinner last Saturday that we should drive 2 hours north west and go to the mountains hiking the next day. We woke up, ate in the car and hiked to waterfalls all day. Landon slept terrible the night before and then threw up 3 times in the car, an hour into the drive. We cleaned him up and tried to figure out if he was sick or just drank too much and got car sick. Kyle and I both didnt want to turn around, so we powered through and luckily everything turned out fine. We got some good family time in, hiked in the mountains for kyle and saw waterfalls for me. Landon loved everything and even hiked to one himself. A good time was had by all. here are some of my favorite pics from the day

Landon's Birthday

So, Landon is obviously totally spoiled. He had like the best birthday ever:

Landon's Two Year Photos

I continued my theme of not doing traditional posed photos this year. Instead, I followed Landon around for the day and captured our everyday life. Below are some of the photos from the day. I think they do a good job of showing what he likes to do and his personality.

 

(giving Bentley a treat- he's known as "pup", "puppyyy" or my favorite "furry dog")

(Landon is obsessed with playing in the car. turning all the lights on and off, blinkers, horn..you name it. i've had to jump my car twice this week)

(of course, he's a big fan of eating and now needs to sit on the counter and help)

(nap time books on the big pillow...and some times where he ends up sleeping)

(big boy bed with a railing on the side- too many accidents so far)

(good grief, it's like I asked him to look like an angel...)

(and Que the two year attitude)

(tomatoes from the garden will fix just about anything)

(cookies after dinner- 2 to be exact- and he wont let you get away with just one)

(Needs to sit in the big chairs now and those pillows need to be exactly as he see's fit)

(he climbed that "hill" and he's really proud about it. you might say he's "up high")

(jumping. every day.)

(and then we need to relax. jumping is hard work in this kind of heat)

("sumps" = jump)
