Easter 2011

Saturday afternoon, we decided to give the boys their Easter baskets. We want to make sure that the boys know the real reason why we celebrate Easter, so Easter baskets were fairly low-key.



Reed is definitely good at getting excited about surprises.



Nash is learning.





We had to explain to the boys that they couldn't eat all of the candy in one day.



They also got lots of silly bands. Many of which I've thrown away already, because any time I find them on the floor, etc. I throw them away.



Will enjoyed playing and getting into his basket.



I'm sure that you all are excited to finally see pictures of Reed.



Still completely adorable.



More mischievous.



Is that the cutest foot you have ever seen?



Our super playful and adorable Nash loved the sand toys they got for Easter. We're going to the beach in about 2 weeks! Woo to the hoo!





We are going to have some baseball players on our hands. Nash has an incredible swing and Reed is an excellent thrower.



At this point, Will is more of a fan, but he'll probably get into the ball scene soon.





Nash loves to be silly.



Lola got the boys some cool chairs for them to sit in when they need a break while they are playing outside.





So, here is the "Land Fam Easter" pic. What do you think?



Obviously the boys saw something that we didn't.



And then Reed got tired of getting photographed.



The Davidson's were looking especially dapper for Easter.



Will was not really impressed with the idea of getting a Davdison/Land photo.



We had Easter lunch with the church staff. I got these flowers out of our neighbors yard (with permission).





Will was looking ultra cute Easter morning. Abbey was glowing and beautiful as usual.



It was a wonderful Easter.

My Friend Caleb

Reed has a best friend, Britton, so it was only natural that Nash would also need a best friend. He chose Caleb.



Caleb came over recently so that his mom could go grocery shopping in peace. Nash and Caleb decided they would cook.



Nash made Mama a spot of tea.



Just as Reed nearly constantly wants to go to Britton's house, Nash is constantly reminding us that he would like to go to Caleb's.



Will thought there were not enough cooks in the kitchen, so he decided to head on over.



The boys must be ready for school lunches because they served pizza with vegetables.



Eat up Mama!



"Has anyone seen my fruit puffs?"



"They're where?"



"Oh, why didn't you just say so?"



"Mama I want to measure something."

Okay, so I know you all are wondering if Reed is still around. He is, just very anti-camera lately. You'll have to check our facebooks to see pictures of him.

What We've Been Up To

I'm not going to tell you some pitiful excuse as to why I am once again a laggard blogger, but I will tell you that we've been extremely busy.



So, here's a quick update on Will.



Will is growing like crazy! He is active ... very active!



He also likes to eat. He's the best eater in the house.



Will is very happy and right now he is very much into his Mommy. He likes to know where she is at all times. If she's not around, Daddy will do okay, but he really wants Mama.



Nash is still our happy little guy.



He is sweet and likes smiles. He likes to get his way all the time. He wants to be wherever Reed is.



He is very much into monster trucks and cooking.



I think he could be a model, because he is adorably cute.





Reed is growing tall and so completely smart.



We would have pictures of him on here, but he currently hates the camera.



At least two of our kids will smile for the camera. Which, if you can't tell, these pictures are just more of the ones from the last blog.



The whole family is traveling again this weekend.



Abbey and the boys are going to Mississippi to visit family and to go to Ava's baby shower.



I'm going to my seminary alma mater to teach some classes.



Oh look, the elusive Reed appears!



Just don't expect him to smile for the camera.

Catching Up

When I first started "not blogging" everyday, I thought that I would be at least a little bit better at making sure I blogged every once in a while.





I really thought that I would be able to blog more than once a week.





To be quite honest, we're still getting into the groove of a family of 5 and so its been a bit difficult to remember the camera as often as we should.





We do a lot with the boys that is camera worthy, but we need to make sure that we have the camera with us. Probably the best way to see pictures is by checking out our facebook or twitter pages.





Will is growing like a weed. He gets bigger and bigger everyday. He is the best eater of our three.





Nash is learning more and more English and has perfected the art of selective hearing from Reedy. He is probably the most compassionate of the three.





Reed is our most "camera-avoidant" child (as you can probably tell from these pictures.). He is also our funniest kid. He makes us laugh all the time.





Last Sunday on the way to church, Reed said "Daddy, look at me, I'm Chinese." Not thinking anything was abnormal, I just sort of said, "Cool." He said, "No, look at me." When I looked, I saw Reed with his eyes pulled back with his fingers. Immediately, I needed to tell him that being that he was already Asian, it was not necessary.







Okay, that's all I can do for the evening. I've got more pictures. Maybe I'll surprise you tomorrow.
