Slam Dunk!

The boy's week continues to be packed full of fun with family, friends, and more adventures. Tomorrow we have a lot of preparing to do for the big birthday bash on Sunday!

Daddy & Poppy finished the play set this week! Tomorrow I will have to take an updated photo of the finished product.

Two years ago today Jon and I welcomed into the world our second son. We welcomed this beautiful, perfectly sweet, little red head with open arms and hearts. Our lives were forever changed and blessed by making our family a family of four. Watching Landon grow and change over the past 2 years has been one of the greatest joys. Happy Birthday, Landon! For Always... Love Mommy.
(A bigger... and probably sappier birthday post for both boys is to come this week...)


GiGi helping Shawn down the slide. Before Poppy made an "adjustment" it went REALLY fast and Shawn flew off at the bottom. Now it slides just right.

Daddy helping Landon... Weeeee!

Proud for doing it "all by himself."

Daddy's Boys :)

Look how cute...

On Memorial Day Aunt Lizzie and Uncle John invited us over for a play date/get-together. It was really great getting together and watching the kiddos play so nicely! Liz and I enjoyed a nice chat and catching up. Shawn said his favorite part was "playing with Uncle John"... See, Uncle John gave Shawn his 1st "piano lesson!"

Look how big these once "little loves" are getting! Delilah had kisses-a-plenty from both boys!

So sweet!!

When we returned home the Meisers were out and Mr. Meiser had a surprise for the kiddos... ice pops!!!! The red mess was everywhere. So, we stripped them down and they all went for a dip in the pool... me included!

Landon & Hailey hand in hand.

Today the four of us plus GiGi & Poppy piled in the van for a trip to.... Knoebles!!!! What a perfect way to celebrate Landon's 2nd Birthday!
Here is Shawn... after one of five rides on the flume!

The boys 1st ride together!

Fire Trucks.

Shawn's helicopter ride.

Weeeee!

1st Ferris Wheel Ride.

Little Roadster.

So happy on a horse... even if it's not real.

Kisses for DaDa!!

Riding the "bugs" all by himself!

Ice Cream Sharing Issues. Poppy ended up going for seconds so there was plenty to go around!

Poppy got a great shot of us on the flume!

Poppy's Lil Buddy. Landon is quickly becoming a Poppy's Boy... Hmmm I wonder if all that spoiling going on is why?? ;)

Silly boys!

Time for the funnel cake!

A fantastic day with GiGi & Poppy! Thank you both for such a great time! And GiGi, you're right, those cabins do look awfully fun... something to look forward to :)

The Rawlings Family!

Happy Birthday Little Guy!!!!

Shawn on the Whipper (one of his favs.)

What does Shawn pick on this attraction? The red sports car of course!

And Mr. Speedy picks the jet!

Sweetie ;)

When we returned home it was time to celebrate Landon's birthday!
Present time!

A Little People truck!

And the favorite from Mom and Dad... a Basketball Hoop!!!!

He couldn't get enough of it!

Slam Dunk Rawlings :)
