A post NOT for weak stomachs

"Everybody out, quick!"  I yell.  "Landon hold onto your towel.  Emmy and I are going out to get Daddy off of the lawn mower."  So Landon is standing by the front window trying to "dry" himself off and Emerson is in her towel while I try to dry her off and run to get Matt.  You may ask what's the hurry?  Is someone hurt?  Is something really wrong with the house?  No.  But I consider 6 turds floating in the bathtub an emergency (left by my lovely daughter :))!  I considered taking a picture, but I then thought that you could probably all imagine it in your head...and I didn't really want a picture of poo!  Good times! :)

A quick update on the kids:
Landon is learning new words/phrases everyday and usually surprises us with things he knows or points out.  It still amazes me how kids go from saying 1 word to hundreds.  Their little brains are so amazing!  He is 23 months and knows all of his colors, letters, numbers, and his name.  We're working on letter sounds and counting.  He loves cars/trains/tractors/and probably every other mode of transportation!
Emerson is a little "tornado".  She finds everything imaginable to get into and dump out.  She's starting to play with toys a little more and LOVES her dolly and blankets.  Her goal is to try to carry as many dolls and blankets as she can.  She also LOVES Landon and gets upset if she cannot see where he is.  She is 15 1/2 months old and eating like crazy, but not growing like crazy.  Our doctor says not to worry but she's only gained 1 pound and 2 inches since her 1 yr. check up.
And I had to include a picture (even though it's a month old!)
