You've got a friend in me!

Today we took the boys on a special date...to see Toy Story on Ice! It was a super cute show and the boys really seemed to enjoy it! It was about 2 hours long, so Reid started getting a little wiggly towards the ends, but overall they both did very well!
 Of course we couldn't pass up on a couple of souvenirs!
 



Landon's favorite Buzz quote (which he is saying below) is "To infinity and beyond!"



 Landon is actually pretending to sleep here...his new favorite thing to do in the car!
 While Reid appreciated his new Woody doll, his first love will always be his "Bear." Bear goes EVERYWHERE with Reid and I absolutely love the joy and security that this little lovey brings my sweet boy. If you know Reid well, you know that he usually has a car in one hand, and Bear in the other!

Hipstamatic

I've only been an iPhone owner for a few months, and I know my dad will cringe when he reads this, but I love it! Sure, there are probably better phones out there, but considering my phone needs are pretty simple and mainly for fun, the iPhone has been great for me! This past week I discovered my newest favorite app after reading about it on a friend's blog. It's called Hipstamatic. It's basically a camera that is installed on your phone and applies different lenses, films, etc. to make the pictures look as though they were taken with an antique analog camera. You can choose what style you want, or shake the phone to make it randomly pick one for you. And, there's no editing necessary! I've only had it for like a day but I've already had so much fun with it! Please excuse the massive amount of pictures below, but here are a few of the ones I have taken!

March Madness

I guess we haven't done anything interesting enough to post about lately...either that, or I've just been lazy with the blog. I was also given a "gentle" reminder that an update was needed! :) We've enjoyed the warmer weather and are excited to be able to spend more time outside. Here are some random pictures that have been taken since the beginning of the month!
A couple of weeks ago the boys were getting really stir-crazy so I decided to do something we've never done before! Knowing that they would absolutely love it, I got out some shaving cream. Well, it was actually shaving gel and it had a lovely floral smell to it, but the boys didn't seem to mind. A half a can of shaving gel and 2 minutes later all I had was a table full of shaving cream, 1 frustrated momma and 2 discouraged little boys. They didn't at all enjoy this activity! Landon barely got any on his finger before he was done with the project (he's my OCD child). I thought for sure Reid would appreciate it more, but alas, he did not! Oh well!

 I know it looks like he's having fun...but this literally lasted maybe 60 seconds before he was fussy!

 I made Jambalya for Fat Tuesday.
3-4 Chicken Breasts
1 Pckg. turkey sausage (sliced)
2 cans diced tomato
2-3 tablespoons Franks hot sauce
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1/3 cup chopped jarred roasted red pepper
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped red or green pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
1-2 cups rice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Salt to taste

Place chicken breasts and sliced turkey sausage in crock pot. Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl and pour in crock pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. 30 minutes before meal time, shred chicken and return to pot. Pour jambalaya mixture over cooked rice.

I love being a "boy" mom!
 Ms. Alissa told the boys to give a "thumbs up." Luke knew what that was but apparently Landon wasn't certain...
