Landon Discovers Paint!

Last week, Landon discovered something that he had never seen before. Paint! I was watching our friends' daughters (12 and 9 years old) and they were painting while Landon was napping, so that I could get my workout in. Once Landon woke up, we all went outside to play in the baby pool. Elle and I had to go in for a few minutes for a diaper change and when I came back outside, this is what I found...




And then Daddy came home...



Fun day in the Magnuson household!!

Aunts & Uncles Part I

This trip had been planned for a long time and it finally came! Landon was very excited to see his Aunts and Uncles and we were so excited for all of them to meet Elle! It was a really amazing visit and it (as always) went by way to fast. But, we took a little over 500 pictures haha, so I have a lot to choose from and I put together this 3 part blog. I hope you enjoy it and the pictures tell it all! Enjoy!

Landon got to hang out with Payton for the week! He LOVED her and played with her every second he could!


Landon and Aunt Tricia making some eggs! And for the very first time, Landon ate scrambled eggs! I was so excited because he is a tough little eater and Aunt Trish was able to get him to eat them!! Woohoo!


Geoff took all of the pups for a walk to the beach the morning after they arrived. The kids and I followed behind and I had to get this on camera...walking 3 dogs (labs who like to pull!) is a tough job!


The dogs could have run for hours. They loved chasing the ball into the ocean. And Landon loved running around like a wild man!


There he goes!


Great dogs!


Landon and Elle hanging out with Aunt Tricia.


He LOVED Payton...they were best buds the whole trip.


Haha, this is a great moment caught on camera! Landon gave up in this moment trying to play with Payton. She needed to take breaks occasionally! :)




The picture tells it all!


More love for Payton...


Landon hanging out with Uncle Geoff before heading out to dinner.



Tricia loved to love on Elle.


So happy they finally got to meet!



SO BIG! AND SO HAPPY! :)


Uncle Hayes and Aunt Katie arrived the next day and they brought Landon some gifties...Landon loved that.



First time loving on Elle!



About to head to the beach!



The tide pools were perfect the entire time they were here! We all got to lay in the water and cool off while Landon played! It was great! And the dogs did awesome and never ran away!



Elle was peacefully sleeping in the stroller under the umbrella. :)


God Mommy and God Baby...pretty girls.

Aunts & Uncles Part II

Beautiful baby girl

Uncle Hayes's first time holding is niece Elle!

Just getting back from the beach. Elle is very happy in Aunt Trish's arms. :)


Payton found a nice resting spot haha.



We went downtown for dinner and the guys mets us there. While we waited for them, we walked around a bit and checked out the shops! Landon and Elle were taking a snooze. :)



Love my babes. (And Landon was just waking up from his nap...grumpy face haha.)




The guys finally showed up after golfing 9 holes!



Elle is like oh boy, another 'samwich' from Mommy and Daddy...



We have a great night time tradition with Landon (and now Elle) at night before bed. He gets a bath, Landon runs around the upstairs naked screaming at the top of his lungs "Daddy chase me!", then we quiet down and read some books (he has pjs on at this point haha), and then we pray and have a Landon 'samwich'. Landon literally pushes our heads towards his cheeks and he loves it. And now we are carrying on the tradition with Elle. She actually smiles after and it's so sweet. This is what it looks like...


Uncle Hayes was being funny and pretended to shove crayons up his nose. Landon thought it was HILARIOUS! He was laughing so hard!



Elle hanging out with Aunt Pat.



Feeding Uncle Hayes...Landon couldn't get enough of it! He loves his God Daddy!



He then proceded to put stickers all over Uncle Hayes's hand. Uncle Hayes was a trooper...he just let Landon go to town and kept on chatting with all of us!



And then he put them on himself. :)


Landon and I got to have a nice kissy session during dinner. These are my favorite. Step 1...



Step 2...


Step 3! I love him!


Another great picture! Look at Elle...she is looking at them like, 'hey! can I be included in on this fun'!


Happy little man!



Of course, we stopped at the fudge shop for an ice cream cone!


Quick family pic!!


Wow, does she look like her Daddy or what!!??


Everyone was enjoying their ice cream cones and so was Landon...tasting every single one! haha!


Aunt Trish got the most colorful ice cream and this is the result haha...


It even made Aunt Trish's teeth blue!! :)


I can't get enough of this!


Aunt Tricia loving on her little God Babe.


Landon trying to be like Uncle Geoff and playing with Payton!


Trish and Hayes posing for a pic with baby Elle.


Landon was very mad that Payton did not want to play with him at that very moment! Hah!


Ok now this is more like it! Landon loved hanging out with Payton! She was really great with him too!


Snuggle sesh right before bed time...


Taking a nap with Aunt Katie!


Such a happy little man with Payton!
