Birthday Fun!!

Everyone had a good time celebrating Aunt Regan and Mommy's birthdays together. Landon LOVEs birthday parties and helped Grandma & Pop Pop decorate. All three of the kiddos were excited about all of the birthday treats!

Waiting patiently...

Sugar kicking in...

Slippery Rock Weekend

Over the President's Day weekend we made a trip back to Slippery Rock to visit Grandma & Pop Pop Russell. The boys were excited to see the new stuff on Pop Pop's train set, help Grandma in the kitchen and play with their cousin Maggie!

Busy Boys

Landon's finished wooden dinosaur! He was soooo excited ;) Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Russell

The boys enjoyed having their buddy Luke over for brunch this past weekend. Three boys together = non-stop running and chasing ;)

Brotherly Love - Gavin has really perfected his Cheese smile for pictures, so cute! Gavin calls Landon - Zaza. Always asking, "Where's Zaza?"

Doing a little handy work!

Teeing up the ball and getting ready for spring training!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

The past few days we have been busy doing all things Valentines at our house. Landon enjoyed baking heart cupcakes and sugar cookies.

Gavin liked adding the sprinkles to his cupcake!

Putting icing on his cupcake

Just finished getting his Valentine cards ready for his school friends. He picked Cars!

So excited that the calendar says tomorrow is Valentine's Day!

Opening gifts before school!!

Finger Painting!

The boys had a great time with the art stuff again yesterday. Landon started painting the pieces for his dinosaur puzzle and they both enjoyed the finger painting. Gavin was unsure at first but jumped right in...which made Landon decide to give finger painting another try. He hasn't wanted to do it since after the first time he did it at about Gavin's age. They both liked it!

The Russell Boys

Landon was excited for his school's Pajama Day. Here are some pics of him ready to go to school with his Lightening McQueen jammies and his kitty!

Our little rockstar! Nice touch with the rings around his feet ;)

The trains never rest on the Island of Sodor!! Gavin knows a lot of trains names now and can pick them out when asked. He talks about Gordan a lot and seems to like him best. The fact that it is Landon's favorite may have made it more desirable though!!

Building a tall tower on his Lego house

Time to feed Cookie Monster his cookies

Handsome boy :) saying cheese!

Superbowl Party

The four of us had our own little Superbowl party this past Sunday. Some people didn't get the memo that our Steelers were not in it ;) The boys protested this by having their own viewing party of Ice Age on the computer with some popcorn! There is always next year...

Out and About

The winter weather here this year has been so mild that we have actually gotten to play outside way more than I thought we would. Just bummed a bit that we haven't had snow to play in. Crossing our fingers for some before the winter is over!

Playing at the playground after Music class. Landon really takes good care of his brother and always catches him at the bottom of the slides and helps him down. So sweet!

Music class fun with bubbles at the end of class! As you will notice in these photos Gavin does not like to take his hat off even inside (unless he is at home for some reason) :)

Grocery shopping and Gavin gets his munchkin and Mommy gets her chai! Best part of the process!

Sam's 4th birthday party!! Reuniting with Germany friends - Landon - Sam - Cecilia - Liam
They all insisted on eating their cake together ;)
