First RC and Happy Birthday Tonya!!!

So we went shopping and Rand (Daddy) really wanted this little RC car that spins and flips around-Rand loves this car and plays with it all the time. Here is a pic of him teasing the cat with his new toy!



Yesterday we went to David and Tonya's to celebrate Tonya's 34th Birthday!! We ate yummy mini pizzas and cookies, cake and ice cream and tons of soda! Dustin and I brought our Xbox 360 and Rock Band (As we do every get together! Rock Band Rules!!). We all had a blast hanging out and playing! Happy Birthday Tonya!!

Coming Soon!

Tonight Dustin, Rand and I went to Logan and had our first professional family pictures taken! The girl who took them was awesome, she took over a hundred pictures in less than an hour. (the final count was 147 I believe!) She took some really cute family pictures and then pictures of Rand and Dustin and then Rand and I. She also took a bunch of Rand by himself-there are shots of him being grumpy-mouth wide open-tongue sticking out and even some smiling! He was being such a stinker and would not smile very much-In fact the family pic that turned out the best was the last one she took of all three of us and I was holding Rand-the only way I got him to smile was lifting him into the air and saying weee, weee!! It was an awesome time-and we ordered a CD of all the prints so in the next few weeks I will have some awesome family pictures and pictures of Rand that I will post!! Yeah!!

Christmas in March!

Wednesday Rand got a package in the mail from his Great Grandma Lema! To our surprise it was Christmas presents! Rand got a cool race car sweater and a tractor! He loved the tractor and wore the sweater all night long! Thanks Great Grandma Lema- Christmas presents rock any time of the year!!

I have a another confession: I am a nail biter! Anyone that knows me can attest to this fact! For the first time in who knows how long I have bit my nails only once in the last two weeks!! This is so completely unheard of! I am actually growing nails for the first time in years! I am so proud of myself-yeah! Here is a pic of my three longest nails-ever!!

I promise that they are quite long-This pic isn't very good-sorry!!!

Easter!

Sorry I have been lazy and haven't posted for awhile! Here are the pics of Rand from Easter weekend! Saturday we all went and got haircuts and then on Sunday we went to Grandma's house and played and played. Rand went outside and played on the playground and he was climbing and sliding all day. Grandma gave him a firetruck Easter basket loaded with candy and some Dr. Suess books, Horton Hatches the egg and a Yertle the Turtle (which has a couple more stories as well!). She also gave him a stuffed Horton the elephant and a Yertle the Turtle. Here are some pics of him playing! Thanks Grandma!!

Rand was showing off his new haircut and his "cool pickey hair!"

Candy!!! The fire truck made noise, so he is pushing the button to make the siren roar!

Weeeee!!!!!!!!!! He loved going down the slides!

Climbing the ladder with daddy's help!

Climbing again! This was his favorite place to climb! By the end of the day he was climbing it with little or no help at all!! Such a big boy!

Cheese! Riding his bike! He just barely couldn't reach the pedals, but he wanted to ride a bike like the big kids so badly that he wouldn't give up.

Still trying!! He would put his feet on the ground and stand and run with bike yelling vrooom, vroom!! Our boy is growing up so fast, he had so much fun playing and riding his bike!

Even Cuter!

He still can't quit being cute! I posted the slide show this afternoon and my boy still continued to be cuter and cuter, so here is another slide show!!!

There are pics of him throwing a tantrum when the neighbor's new horse was running around and making noise, but he didn't want to go inside, he wanted to help Daddy fix the bike!
Then there is the bathtub where Daddy was having fun suctioning the cup to Rand's back! Poor kid!
Finally Rand ate ice cream! This is the first time he willingly bit into ice cream and then he ate the whole Fat Boy!!

Pink Socks, Daddy's shirt, oh my!

My boy has been the biggest ham today- I swear I have taken like fifty pictures today because every time I turn around he is being cute!
First of all he has been a potty fiend! Every five minutes he has to sit on the potty-he does not do anything-just sits there! But this morning he had to wear my fuzzy pink socks while sitting on the potty and then had to play with them for awhile, till he found Daddy's shirt!! What a silly kid! Anyway here is a slide show of some of the cute moments of the day!!

More pics of my Boy!!

Rand got this new "cool" shirt from his Great Aunt Michelle (Dustin's Aunt) and I just had to post these pics!



"Huh?"



"OH,you want me to lift my arms!"



"Are we done taking pictures yet, Mommy?"

Playing and "Helping Daddy"

Yesterday Rand really wanted to play outside, so we went out and drove the jeep and then he had to help Daddy work on his motorcycle! Rand would not quit helping Dad and stayed outside until he was almost frozen solid!!

Mom and Dad's Day Out!

Today me and daddy, aka: Laura and Dustin, actually got to go out without a kid! Yeah! We went to the Desert Star Theatre and saw "My Valley Fair Lady". It was absolutely Hilarious!! We have seen many plays at the Desert Star, (we have season tickets!) and this one was one of my favorites! I didn't stop laughing the entire time. One of my favorite things about these plays are the moments of ad lib. For example there was a seen where the "Professor" was teaching the character Jenna a lesson on how to kiss properly on a first date using ice cream cones! The ice cream was dripping and, oh my gosh, it was one of those classic moments that you would have had to been there!! I am not even quite sure how to describe it! Tonya: call me and I will elaborate! Everyone else who reads this, well hopefully you were with me or your curiosity will go unsatisfied!!

While Mommy and Daddy were playing in SLC, Rand played with Aunt Tonya, Piper, Lyra, Seth, Hannah, and of course, the puppy Evona! He had so much fun! He was so wild when he got home that it took Daddy laying down in his bed with him before he would go to sleep. Currently they are both asleep in Rand's "Cool Bed". Tonya has posted the cutest slide show on her blog of the kids playing, so click the "Gordon Gang" link and check it out!

I was bored and decided to play with some of the pics that Tonya sent me and here are some of my favorites!





Here is Piper and Rand "hiding" in the curtains!!


Tonya thank you so much (again) for watching Rand! He had so much fun! Me and Dustin had a blast as well!! Thank you again! You are the Best!!!!

Busy Day!!

Yesterday was a crazy, fun day! I babysat my friend Rachel's two little boys, Ross 5, and Tyler 3. The three boys had a blast all morning playing. Here is a picture of the three zombies just after they woke up and were watching Diego!



Here they are playing!! Having a ball!



My handsome boy!



Ross hiding under the bed!!



Ross and Tyler hiding under the bed! Count and come find us they were shouting!! Of course I only had to follow the sound of giggles and big suprise they were all under the bed!!



Ross and Rand lounging in a chair! Soooo Cute!!!!!



The boys soon got tired and wild and Rand got hurt. He somehow got two cuts in the top of his mouth. Owie!! There was a lot of blood and drool, so mommy's heart got pounding and decided to take him to Logan, just in case he needed a doctor. By the time I got to Logan he wasn't bleeding anymore, so we went to see daddy at work, because daddy makes everything better now! He was fine, started talking, telling us ow, hurt, and Soda! We decided that he didn't need a doctor, so we went home and gave him tyenol and let him have a long nap. He was sore and crabby the rest of the night, mostly did not want to let daddy go! Yes, my baby boy was a mommy's boy from day one and is now completely daddy's boy! Once daddy finally got him to sleep at night, all was well. Here is an adorable pic of daddy reading Rand his favorite "fire truck" book to help him feel better!!

Yummy!!

Tonight for dinner I decided to make chicken pot pies-using pillsbury biscuits!! I made the chicken stew filling with chicken, potatoes and a bunch of frozen veggies. It turned out so yummy, so I had to post a picture! I was shocked when the biscuits actually held together to make the mini pot pies!





Here are some adorable pictures of Rand waiting anxiously for dinner to be done! He loves to watch me cook and stare at the oven exclaiming Yummy! Dinner!!







We had a typical Saturday, we walked up to the park and posed for our family pic on the side and Rand attempted to slide down a slide into a snowbank! WEEEE! He yelled!

Night Night with puppies!

I just had to post these pictures of Rand sleeping with all the puppies! There is not just Jack, if you look closely you can see two little stuffed puppies on top of him as well!!

Ballet Pictures

Tonya just sent me these adorable pictures that she took with her phone! I know that she will post them to her Blog, but I have to put them on mine as well! My favorite: Lyra and Prince Charming, of course!!



This one is Lyra and Hannah with the Winter Fairy!


Here is Lyra with the ugly stepsisters!

The Ballet

Today was the funnest day! Rand stayed home with Daddy and helped clean the house until becoming so tired that he crawled in his bed and went to sleep all by himself for a nap. (At night lately he has needed some help, as seen in the pic with Daddy who feel asleep tucking in Rand.) While Mommy (me) had a blast at the Ballet! I went to the performance of Cinderella in Logan with my mother in law (Mom), my sister in law Tonya and my two nieces Lyra,6, and Hannah,11. They had so much fun and the grins on their faces made the performance so much more enjoyable! The comments from Lyra and the other little girls were hilarous! My favorite: "Why is he only wearing tights?" said Lyra as Prince Charming made his entrance. "I can see his butt!" she exclaimed just moments later!After the performance Lyra went around to the actors to fill her program with their autographs and pose with them for pictures, even Prince Charming! After the ballet we went to Sweetly Divine to satisfy our sweet teeth and then went to Mom's house were we visited for awhile, till deciding to return home and give the Daddys a break. We all had an awesome time on our Girls Day Out and can not wait to go out again!!!

Cool Bed

Here is a picture of Rand and his new "cool" bed!!

Hello Everyone in Blog Land!

My sister in law has convinced me to do a Family Blog, so hopefully everyone who reads this will find it fun and interesting. This weekend we had a major shopping spree with our tax return and Christmas gifts (Thank you Mom and Gina!!) at Ikea and got new furniture for Rand's Room and our living room. Otherwise we had a typical week of playing, tickling, and homework. I can not wait for Spring Break!!!!
