Florida Trip (March 2011)

 Plane ride to Florida. All is well when there is snacks available!

Landon went to work with Papa everyday and this is how he returned him to me....everyday!

 First $20 towards his mission fund. He was very proud of his money.

 Papa's little gate opener...and he's happy to do it every time. "My do it!"

Addison's face cracks me up!

 Ice cream every night before bed. Usually I would not let Landon have it, but he slept with Nana and Papa every night so I wasn't the one who had to deal with the wild child. :)

 Landon loves to love Cooper. He calls him "Baby Cupper." 

 They were running around like wild animals and then this.... Didn't last very long, but it was funny.

 Gracie loves "Wannon." Landon wants to take Gracie everywhere with him. He even lets her take him to the potty. She's such a little mama!

 Addison is always so happy. She got a carpet burn on the tip of her nose right before we left and it made the ugliest, thickest scab. It looked horrible, but she's a trooper. 

 Every time I come to town Gracie wants me to do her hair and paint her finger nails and toe nails. 

 This is Peyton. She's my dad's pride and joy. And to the rest of the family she's just annoying....

 This is the closest to a "good one" that we were able to get in 2 hours!

 I'm so skilled in cosmetology!

 Cooper and his Daddy. Very special day for them both!

 Kendall's family.

 My mom's sister, Shea and her kids Jacob and Savannah, and my Nanny and Poppy.

 Don thinks it's funny that Cooper sucks on the tip of his nose like he's nursing.... I think it's kind of gross!

 Don and my cousin Jacob. He's been working Don and Dad trying to prepare for his mission.

 Don wears this thick gold necklace and my mom calls it his "Mr.T starter kit." So I found Cooper his own starter kit. I want him to be just like his Daddy! :)

 Mom and I were shopping in WalMart and this how Addison was riding in the cart. 

 Addison loves to "ham" it up for me. 

 I kept asking Gracie to smile. Then she did and I said, " No, a sweet smile." This is her sweet smile.

 Papa wanted to take Landon fishing. When he was trying to pull down the tackle box from storage he lost his balance and it fell on his face. He said it hurt...a lot.

 This is Addison's new "cheese" face. It cracks me up everytime I see her do it. She only really "hams" it up for her Papa. 

 I asked Gracie what she was doing to Bailey and she said, "She's my new baby. I'm going to wrap her up and put her to bed." Bailey looks so enthused to be her baby. :)

 This is Cooper! He's so cute and such a good baby!

We traveled to Florida to see my nephew Cooper's be blessed by his daddy. It was a very special blessing and I was very proud of Don. He has come a long way and is thriving in the gospel! All I can say is it is about time! :) While we were there we had the chance to just hang out with all of the family. Here is a review of the things that happened while we were there. Gracie asked to babysit Addison to give me some "mommy time." Gracie is becoming the perfect "little mama" and is very "helpful" baby sitter. My Nanny asked me if I would color her hair for her, she didn't know I was a natural at non-professionalism (if that is even a word..) Landon worked with Papa EVERYDAY (mostly helping Papa on the hunting preserve). He worked so hard that one of the hunters tipped him $20. So with his $20 Papa set him up his own missionary savings account. Landon has officially become the "gate opener" for Papa and he actually loves to open it every time! We would pull up the gate and Landon would be already trying to get off the Ranger screaming, "My do it!!" Every night Landon and Papa would do their usual and eat rainbow sherbet, literally every night! Gracie and Landon have become best friends. Landon asked for Grace everyday and Gracie would say, "Where my best fran Wandon?" Peyton has always been lazy and annoying, but recently she has become a slob! She literally takes up the whole couch! We call her the brown bear. Mom and I took the kids to the park and decided to try to get a family picture of the all the little cousins.....Let's just say we tried for an hour to get a picture and we still didn't get one with them all looking at the camera. My little Addison has become a little fat ham! My dad got her doing this super cheese face and now every time we pull out the camera say cheese we see this super adorable face. I could just eat her up!
