Here is Landon's singing at his easter program

Landon had his Easter program at school today. It was so cute and the kids had so much fun.

Landon's First T-ball game

Landon had his first t-ball game today. It was so hilarious!! I try not to take this sports thing too seriously. Especially at this age. Like a friend of mine said, "In t-ball if you can get them to run the bases the right way, and not field as a herd, then you've done your job."

It was great. So much fun. Landon was running around playing before they started. And then he got up to bat. He hit the ball off the tee and started running. The first time he got up to bat he got all the way around to third base. Damon got talked into being the third base coach for this game. Another kid came up to bat, they knocked the ball off the tee!! And Landon takes off....back toward second base. He makes it all the way back to first. I'm laughing...in fact I think everyone's laughing at my son as he passes his teammate as he's running. After we've batted, they all take off back to the outfield. Landon decides it's great fun to run for the ball and do a stop..drop..and roll maneuver. Landon also decides to do this every time anyone hit's the ball. My son is rolling across the baseball diamond the whole second half of the game.

Damon joked with one of the coaches, Mark, "Can't you control your players better than that?" And then one of the other dad's asked Damon, "Whose that number 2?" Knowing full well whose child it was, Ours!! Damon said, "I'm not sure who's child that is, where are his parents???"

It's all fun and a great story to tell over and over again, especially when he's older.

Just another day in paradise....

We spent this weekend going from 90 mph to about 5 mph on Sunday, and I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Went over to Gatesville Friday after work to get groceries and didn't get home till about 7pm. Damon had John Deere Day on Saturday so we went out there for a couple of hours. Emma and Landon had fun riding on the Kiddie train and Emma enjoyed just staying outside and climbing on the lawn mowers. We came home and rested and then went to the tractor pull in Priddy. We took Landon and hung out with some friends. I figured out my son can sleep through ANYTHING! About 11pm we looked over at Landon who hadn't moved in his lawn chair in awhile and he was fast asleep. He had ear muffs on to protect his ears, but some of those trucks and tractors were pretty loud and he was out. We didn't make it home till about 1 am Sunday morning. Then on Sunday, Damon and I let the kids play in the house and we caught up on some of our tivo'd shows. So there wasn't really a whole lot going on in the Thompson household on Sunday.

Now it's back to 90 mph again. I have to go work out after work, Landon's got a t-ball game and pictures at 5:30, then go make cookies for Landon's easter party tomorrow, stuff easter eggs, and get both kids in bed by 8:30.

Plus my husband told me yesterday when we were discussing our upcoming anniversary in June, that it was my turn to plan an anniversary surprise since he did it last time. Two years ago when I was a couple of months along with Emma, Damon told me we were going to be gone for the weekend. He just told me to pack light and he arranged for a babysitter for Landon. He borrowed a friends Harley Davidson and we rode up to Granbury, rented a motel, and then we took a sunset cruise on the boat that cruises Granbury lake. Then on Sunday we drove home. It was absolutely the best because I didn't have to think of anything. Last year we had no money because....well we never have any money with two children...so we went to the Horny Toad for our anniversary dinner and got a surprise when Darryl Dodd was there playing. So it turned out great. So now it's my turn to plan something for our anniversary, and see my birthday is the day before. Yes, I did that on purpose, which means if Damon forgets one, he forgets both, and he's screwed. So now I'm trying to think of something relatively cheap to do, since we are going to the River with some friends a few weekends after my birthday/anniversary weekend.

The problem with Damon is he likes to fish & hunt & golf. Now I like to fish and golf, but not really on my anniversary. I've enlisted the help of two of his friends to try and help me think of something to do for him.

Playing Hooky...sort of..

I feel like I'm playing hooky today. Belinda had me pick up the kids early yesterday so I missed getting my butt kicked at circuit class. She said her stomach was upset and wanted to rest. Well I'm in the middle of getting ready this morning and my phone rings. Yup, it's my babysitter calling in sick today. I have some vacation days still for work, so it's not that big of a deal, but none of us are sick so I feel like I'm playing hooky.

So far the day has been pretty good. Landon and I played the wii this morning. He whooped me in bowling, I beat him in golf, and we both won one match in tennis. We all walked down to mom's work this morning before it started getting cold to give her Landon's t-ball schedule. It was nice and we walked the couple of blocks, then played over at the basketball court on the way back. Emma and Landon were fascinated with one of the holes in the court where the tennis net poles used to into. They were filled with water, so of course sticks and rocks and fingers had to go in these holes. We went and washed and vacuumed out my truck. Then came home and fixed lunch and then Miss Princess went down for her nap.

She is now awake and running around with my phone calling the first number in the phone book. Even if I lock the thing, she figures out how to unlock it by just pressing buttons and I wind-up getting a call from someone asking if I called them. Oh well.

I'm fixing to break down and light the heaters. With this crazy weather we're having it's 80 degrees one week and then a cold front comes through and it's knocked down to 50 degrees during the day and freezing a night.

Anyone reading this that would like to have their booties whipped into shape, come join us at the gym here in town at 4pm Monday - Thursday. I'm taking a step class Mondays and Wednesdays, and then we've started circuit training on Tuesdays & Thursdays. I was soooooo sore from last Tuesday. But I at least feel like I'm actually doing something.

Well it's time to get back to my kiddos...Emma walked by me and I think somebody's rotten...why is it kids wait till you get a new diaper on them before they decide to fill it up???
