Bat Boy

Out like a Lion

Well, March is supposed to be in like a lion and out like a lamb. Here in Tulsa, things have gone opposite. Last week, it was in the 70s, today, it looks like Christmas...

Ball Boy

Landon absolutely loves balls. It doesn't matter if it is a basketball or an orange - he loves them all! The other day he kept reaching for the fruit bowl full of oranges and I finally gave in and let him play with them. He thoroughly enjoyed taking them and throwing them one by one all over the kitchen floor. Of course, he hasn't learned how to pick them up yet.

A couple days ago we went to an Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game. They were playing the Lakers, so it was fun to see Kobe play. Landon had a great time. He really enjoyed all the lights, music and of course the basketball game. This is the best picture we got of him :P



Here is Kobe shooting:



Not long after we started heading home from the game, Landon got quiet and I looked back and this is what I found...



Then, tonight, he decided to say, "Ball," here's a little clip:

Sour Face

I let Landon try the end of my ice pop (which was pretty much just ice) and this is the face he made. He really liked it though and kept wanting more. (The background noise is my mom playing cards with my niece and nephew - we were in Iowa this past weekend).

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." - Matt 12:30

This passage really stood out to me today. We are to love the Lord with all of these different parts that make up our total being. Not just a portion of our mind, not just a part of our heart, not just a piece of our soul, and not with a some of our strength. Our love for Him is to be all consuming of our lives and being. This next verse sums up why we can love God this way:

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." - 1 John 4:10

My Goof Ball

I don't know why he was doing this lip smacking thing so much yesterday, but I thought it was funny so I got a little clip of it. At one point when he was doing it, I thought it seemed like he had something in his mouth and sure enough he had found a chocolate chip on the ground and was savoring it. Let's just say he was not a happy camper when mommy took it away!

This picture reminded me of a motivational poster.
