1 year pics

On Sunday we went out to take our family pictures...bad idea! It was so windy, only a few pictures turned out=( I'm going to have to redo them I think. These are the ones that turned out, that I liked. 

See...not very many! 

Landon's 1st Birthday Party!

On Saturday, March 28, we had Landon's 1st Birthday Party! It was from 11am to 1pm at Mission Hills Park. We barbecued turkey dogs and brats for lunch, and served chips, dip and fruit as a side. We thought it would be fun to get juice boxes since there were going to be quite a few little kids, so we had those as well. For dessert, we did cupcakes...decorate your own. Since it was at the park, all of the kids were able to play and have a good time, while the adults were able to hang out and talk. Here are some pictures from the party. 

This is Landon in the car on the way to party city to pick up the balloons.

He was mad because we wouldn't give them to him.

Cupcake decorating!

Frosting.

So happy! =)

He liked the candles more than the cake. I'll admit I didn't go out on the cake..he was just going to destroy it anyways!

Hmm, he wasn't quite sure what to make of it!

Mmm...frosting!!!

Look at his hands!

This is how messy he was by the end...not as bad as I thought!

The fire truck was the 1st gift he opened...he was too distracted with the fire truck to pay attention to his other toys. He did however play with the others when he got home. 

By the end of the party, he was exhausted!

Thank you so much to everybody that came! We had a great time! We hope you did too!

Our Little Boy is One!

Today is Landon's 1st Birthday! Wow time went by fast! On April 1st, 2008 Landon was welcomed into our family weighing in at 6lbs 11oz and was 18.5 long. Today, April 1, 2009, Landon is weighing in at 20lbs 8oz and is 30 inches long. In this past year, he has grown in so many ways, besides his weight and height. He went from being a little newborn to a toddler. He went from only drinking milk to eating hot dogs, from laying down to crawling, to standing up, to almost walking.  He is a very active little guy! He loves to climb stairs, and practically run around the house while holding on to his little bike. He is so much fun. I just love seeing how excited he gets over the smallest things. I love his smile. His smile can put a smile on anyone's face no matter what their mood is. Being able to be his mother is the greatest blessing to me aside from my eternal companion and the gospel. Although Landon is only 1, he has taught me so much...especially patience. He is also very sociable. He goes up to anybody and makes friends with them. I wish I was more like that. He is so good with other kids. I am so excited to see him grow through out the years, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Happy Birthday Landon! We are so glad that you are our little boy. We couldn't imagine our lives without you.
