Eeewww Girls

Landon has been picking up on what kids say and think at school. In Kindergarten he only played with girls, and until about October and November he did the same thing in 1st grade. But now he likes chasing girls but is definitely becoming the typical little boy and his best friends are boys. He thinks it is so gross when Marcus and I kiss. I love to kiss Marcus more just to gross him out. He still loves to snuggle me, but I asked him for a smooch the other day on the cheek and he gave me a peck. I told him I didn't want a peck I wanted a smooch. He wouldn't do it and said he was too embarrassed.

Last night the school had a school dance where in each grade the kids got to do two dances. He had been telling me about them earlier this week. One of the dances he has to hold hands with a girl. He said he had to get down on one knee. There were other parts that he said he has to step really close to her, and he doesn't like that part, but then they get to step away from each other and he thought that was so much better. But he told me that the dance was so embarrassing that he couldn't even show me. Last night before we went he was willing to show us some of the dancing, so he danced with Kylie. It was pretty cute.

We went to the dance and the kids had a great time. I had a hard time seeing Landon. But the second dance they do the Macarena and Landon really cracked me up. I could just barely see his face. But everytime they jump to change directions he throws his arms way up in the air. Here is a video that Marcus got of him. His face is to your right from they guy in the white hat. Landon is in a black shirt with gray sleeves.

Tannen's Scootcrawl

Tannen can walk across the room if he wants, and he is getting pretty good at it. But if he needs to get anywhere in a hurry - like to the camera he needs to crawl. I have had many people comment on how weird, cute, different he crawls. My Grandma even commented that she had seen a lot of babies crawl but never like him. So I thought I would get it on video before he stopped. I even had a gal tell me to put it on YouTube and that she would watch it multiple times. I think I will just stick to my Blog. I think he crawls like this because of all the laminate flooring that we have, so I think he just glides. Plus this way he gets to carry things with him. Curious - watch my short video.

First Birthday Bug

Presents horray!!


Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!


Tannen was delighted with the card he got from his Grandma and Grandpa Simons


This is what happens if you take away the card.


Getting a picture with all his presents. He didn't want to look up he wanted to play.


mmmm - cupcakes





But I am so cute





Give me ice cream now!!


At the restaurant - he loved dinner.



Tannen had a great first birthday. I can't believe a year went by so fast. We have truly enjoyed him and he has been a delight to the whole family. We hung out most of the day. I was able to make him cupcakes early in the day. I couldn't figure out what to do for dinner so Marcus suggested we go out to eat. I thought it was a great idea. After Marcus got home we went to Texas Roadhouse and had dinner. Then we came home opened presents and had cupcakes. He had a great time with his new toys. Landon and Kylie were more excited then he was, and they had a great time eating cupcakes and watching presents being open. My parents got Tannen a little people school house, and I think Kylie adopted it. I had to keep reminding her when he wanted to get in the game and take the little people that it was his and he was allowed. We love you little bug!!
