A Day at the Park

My Parents watch Kaitlyn on Wednesday's while I work. Now that the weather has turned nice, they try to get her outside more. Here are a couple of pictures from a trip to the Oakdale Park! I'd say they speak for themselves! She had a grrreat time!!! And of course it didn't hurt that she was with Mimi and Rogie.

YEAH!!!

Easter Weekend

We were able to go to PA for the Easter weekend. It is Landis tradition to do an easter egg hunt for all the kiddos! They each had 24 eggs to find and some presents too! Of course Kaitlyn enjoyed it so much she wanted everyone's eggs, not just the ones with her name on them! :)
We had a great weekend catching up with family and spending time with one another! For most it had been since Christmas, and for some even since Thanksgiving! When you have a large family, sometimes it is hard to get everyone together.
The current 7 grandchildren- at least most of them are looking pretty happy, don't ya think?!

Surprise 40th Birthday Party

W-O-W!  My HUSBAND decided it would be a great idea to throw his wife a SURPRISE Birthday party for the big 4-0 birthday!  He recruited the help of my family and some dear friends of mine and they pulled it all off! 
See- don't I look surprised?!?
The perfect cake for me.  It has stripes, polka dots, gerber daisy flowers and it's Red Velvet... that about sums it up!  Great job Lourdes!
What a w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l afternoon with so many loved ones.  I felt cherished and blessed by family and friends!  A day that I will truly remember for a lifetime! 

Vacation Hilton Head March 2010

Matt and I decided we would try and take a vacation early this year with the baby coming in July!  So we found a place in Hilton Head, SC for a week and took along both of our parents!  The 7 of us had a very nice time!  Lots of relaxing, sight seeing, shopping, golfing, walking, and then some!
We took several hours one day and went to Harbor Town, you know the place where the Verizon Heritage Classic Golf Tournament is played!

 
Not sure if Kaitlyn was walking Pop Pop or if Pop Pop was pushing Kaitlyn!  I think it just depended on how tired she was at the moment!
The place we stayed was on a golf course, SURPRISE I KNOW!  Earlier in the days you could take walks on the course and find alligators along the water holes on the course!  This one was across the 'pond' from me, but it is still looking pretty big to me! That is as close as I needed to get.
A day in Savannah GA- Kaitlyn had the best ride all day long!  I was wishing I had one of these by the end of the day and all that walking.  But it was just as I pictured it- the weeping trees and Southern Homes.
One quick trip to the beach!  We had to see the ocean while we were there!  The weather was cooperative, but not so much as to spend lots of time laying around on the beach.  Kaitlyn had fun walking and playing in the sand as we found sand dollars and starfish though!
