The Bahamas

Our family was fortunate to be able to go to the Bahamas over Thanksgiving Break. Here are a few pics...Landry had a blast playing in the water, almost as much as her daddy did. I don't know that I'll get back to blogging for good. But I do want a place to keep up with pictures of our girl and to be able to share with friends and family.

Catch Up!

I can NOT believe that it has been 3 MONTHS since I have blogged. Robert asked me about it yesterday and wondered what happened to the blog. Umm...Life happened.

Since the last time I blogged, Robert has had an entire summer off of work. Well, kinda. Football coaches tend to work all summer. He's already been in classes a week and football is now in full swing.

Also, Landry Kate turned 2! She acts like she is 22 most days and thinks she is in charge, but we oh so enjoyed celebrating her big day. She got a big girl bed and bedding from mommy and daddy and she loves it. Especially the freedom it gives her to get up whenever she wants. *yikes* We are enjoying this age so much. Her vocabulary is incredible and somewhat scary at times! Lately, she loves to say "delicious" and "amazing". She still has a playful attitude and loves to tease us. I'll tell her "I love you, Landry" and she likes to reply, "I love Daddy".

Here are some pics from the Big 2 Celebration!

Love to All, Amy

If It Weren't for Bad Luck...

I'd have no luck at all.


I have been saying that for a few weeks now. I don't really believe in luck, which makes it silly, but it is certainly how I have felt the past month or so. Thus the blogging absence. My sister said I need to document the ridciculousness of it all so here goes....as to not bore you all to tears, I will make a list. (i love lists, btw!) This list may be TMI for some of you.

-went to dentist for x-rays
-found nothing abnormal
-went home
-woke up with excruciating pain
-went to emergency room
-hydrocodine!! good times!
-later that day, more pain

I get to be this girl's momma!

A Few Easter Pics

Here are a couple pics of Landry from Easter. I just love this hand-me-down dress from cousin Morgan! Wanted you all to see how sweet our girl looked. The Easter Bunny spoiled us and it was a wonderful day. Love to you all, Amy

Grandparents: This is for You!

Grandparents: This is for You!

Landry is talking so much lately, it's scary. And repeating things...whew! I really need to get Robert to quit calling me "honey lovey sugar bottom"! Just kidding...you all know he calls me "hey"! :)

So Miss Landry Lu has quite the repertoire of words! A few of her new words/phrases include: dark, be quiet, Robert (haha), Where are you, I want to, truck, duck, cow, brush, up, are you ready, chocolate milk, woo hoo....and others. I am sure I am wearing y'all out.

The other night I was taking cookies out of the oven and Landry was in her highchair. She saw the pan and yelled, "cookies, woo hoo!"

She also is learning sounds that different things make. For cow, of course, moo! For the puppy, ruff, ruff. And for daddy's motorcycle, boodnnn, boodnnn...

Last night we practiced counting...

She is so much fun right now, but so independent. The special moments are super ooey, gooey, special and the fits are doozies...BUT wouldn't trade her for ANYTHING! Love ya'll!

Jeepin'!

I took the top off my jeep for the first time this weekend. The jury is still out on whether Landry enjoyed the experience or not.

Robert's 29th Birthday

Robert's birthday was yesterday and we had a fun time celebrating with friends and family.

We started the day with breakfast with our Bible Fellowship Group at church.

After church we went to his mom's for lunch. Landry had a big time playing in Mimi's backyard and in the playhouse. Apparently sand was on the menu, because that is what the girls cooked with. It was in every little tea pot and dish and even in the appliances. After we cleaned up the playhouse and played a little longer it was time to go in for lunch. Mimi fixed one of Robert's favorites. Gulosh. Goulosh....Goulash, that I am just now realizing I don't know how the spell. We also had mashed potatoes and corn and of course birthday cake. Cousin Sarah gave her Uncle Robert a card in which she had written "I Like Robert." Isn't that special...?! He then told her that even somedays Aunt Amy doesn't like him, so he really appreciated the sentiment. Here are Sarah's parents, those silly Clapps! They are funny, funny as you can see from Russell's expression!

Landry and I never practiced until yesterday but she was able to tell her daddy "happy birthday"! So sweet!With my man...who is now caught up to me in age. Whew! For 8 months or so...!Landry found Mimi's harmonica and had quite the time with it. R only had one candle on his cake. Mimi said it represents the year he has until he is 3-0! Yikes! Lucky for me, I am a girl, and we stop aging at 29. Thanks everyone from the Birthday Boy!
