My Tulips

I know I said that I would post some pictures of my tulips back in April and I have not. I took theirs pictures just after they bloomed back in April. We have had a lot going on and I am trying to catch up on my Blogging.

Landon's First Hair Cut

Today Landon got his first hair cut. Priscilla that goes to church with us cut it for us. He did such a good job. Better then we thought he would do. He does not look like baby anymore.

Little more off this side.





See Mom I am being so good.

Look Mom at my new hair cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Little Dirt Dobber

You can tell that Landon is all boy. He loves to get dirty. So the other day we went outside to do just that. PLAY IN THE DIRT. We took our trucks, bucket, and shovel to the garden to play. He had a blast. He got it in his hair and in anywhere else that he could get it. He has been trying to walk so one of the picture is him trying to walk in the dirt. He is not a baby anymore.

Spring is in the Air.

I just love this time of year. It is getting warmer out, the trees are starting to get green, birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming. I took some pictures of my flowers that have bloomed and the creek behind my house. All the flowers are from bulbs that we planted over the last two years. My Tulips are almost ready to bloom so when they do I will post some pictures of them.

This is the creek that is behind the house. I just love this view.

Landon's First Birthday

One year ago today was the birth of our son Landon John. He came into this world on Friday, March 16, 2007 at 7lb 6oz. I am a little sad that he is a year old, but you can not keep them little for ever. He is gotting so big. He does not like to be held like he did when we came home from the hospital. All that he wont's to do now is be getting in to something. So to celebrate his first birthday we had a party for him with some of our family and friends. So here are some of the pitchers from the his First Birthday Party.

I Love Sunflowers

Any one that knows me knows that I love Sunflowers. I had them in my wedding, I have them in my house, and I even have a Sunflower tag on my car. So of course when I found a cake in my Nana's Taste of Home "Best Ever Desserts" magazine that looks like a Sunflower I fell in love with it, and is so simple to make. All that you do to make it is make a two-layer cake and then frosted the top and the sides with chocolate icing. Then on the top placed chocolate chips in large circles, (to make the seeds of the Sunflower) you started using mini-chocolate chips in the middle and then move up to the bigger chocolate chips putting them very closely spaced together, covering the top of the cake. You need to live about 2 inches at the edge for where the Peeps will go that makes the Sunflower pedals. You will just use the Peeps just as the come out of the box and place them around the outside of the cake. So here is some pictures of my Sunflower Cake that I made.
