Who is your presidential candidate????

You may have thought that there were only two to choose from but we have news for you. There is a third candidate. Here are his stats and what he agrees to do for our Country.

*He is six years old and has officially been classified as "gifted"
*He sees everything in black and white (I always said he would make a great politician)
*He said that he wants all Americans to recycle. He is our recycling president here and thinks if you don't you are making a BIG mistake for our future.
*He also stated that he wants everyone to go to Disney World. He said if he is president that he will help people to get there because when you are there everyone is happy. (yes, I raised him with good values!! hello, he loves Disney)

His name is Hunter Laney and he is ready to campaign for your vote!!!



I know it is too funny! We were in Joann's and Hunter put on that mask and yelled, "Look Mom, I look like a president!" I grabbed my camera and took the pic. Then Hunter said Mom, put that on the blog. I said consider it done. We went over what a president does and how they have things that they stand up for. Hunter came up with his own. He does think it is ridiculous that you have to be 35 to run for president because that is OLD!! Hahaha!!

Our First Camping Trip with the Boy Scouts!

We had a great time at Camp Shands last weekend! The boys loved it and we enjoyed watching them experience new things. Enjoy the slide show!

Awwwww, I love that boy...

Hayden wants to do his room in a baseball theme. So we have started looking at some things for it. I found this really cool baseball chair. Hayden loves it!! He said it won't be a time out chair EVER..So last night I went in his room to check on him before I went to bed and sneak in one last kiss. His bed was empty! My heart started to panic until I looked down and this is what I found...

I seriously owe you all some updates...

I checked out the blog and realized it has been almost two months since I posted. I am so sorry..Please forgive me. You are about to get updated on the Land of Laney . I will type quickly and you read quickly because there A LOT going on here.....

On 8/18, Hunter started the first grade and Hayden started PreK. They both are enjoying their new classes.


























Let see, we had TS Fay come thru and disrupt our school schedule, then we had some really big news!! We got a tiger!! Yes you read that right, a TIGER, a cub of course!!





I told you we got a tiger.. A tiger cub scout. Hunter heard all about it and could not wait to sign up. He even wanted to forgo t-ball for rock climbing and bows and arrows. We have our first camping trip (yes in a tent!! All four of us!! Quit laughing...stop it) the first weekend in October. Don't forget to check out the blog..it is sure to be good after that one.

Love, love, love to all ....S

3 + 3; 5 + 1; 4 + 2

Anyway you look at it they all equal 6. That is a pretty imporant number for us today. It is Hunter's 6th birthday today!! I can remember all those special moments from the time I got the phone call to find out I was pregnant, to his delivery, the last five birthdays, his first day of preschool, and his first day of kindergarten. Gosh, where has all the time gone???? He keeps growing in wisdom and stature but some things never change....

• He still won't eat peanut butter



• Everything is still black and white in his world



• He consistently must have the last word



• He still whines (he is going to outgrow that, right?)

This last year has been amazing one of growth and knowledge for Hunter. He learned to read, write and addition. He tried karate and still can't decide if he likes it. He found that he loves mexican food. Moe's is his favorite restaurant. He learned to ride his bike without training wheels. We celebrate Hunter and all the amazing things that make him today!!

Here is the cake a made him last night!! Awwww yeah, I can't wait to cut it...

Here is the birthday boy right out of bed this morning...

Thanks to all of our family and friends for all of your love, support and encouragement for our boys. They wouldn't be where they are now without such amazing family. We love you all!

The Laneys have a lake in their backyard!

Yes, can you believe it. We have our own lake thanks to two little boys. It had been a crazy day and I had lost my patience in the day more then once. We came home and the boys slip and slide split down the side so there were tears and more drama then a mama could handle. I made the statement just turn on the hose for a bit. It is basically the same thing, right? No, its not - boys, water and dirt equal the above. They had a blast and that was that mattered.
