Busy! Busy!

I feel like we have been so busy lately, hence why this blog has not been updated in so long! Here are some pictures of everything we've had going on lately!

On July 3, Landon had his 15 month appointment! He was in the 10-25% for everything except for his head...his head was in the 25-50%. He did so good with his shot. He wined for a quick second. We started clapping for him after his shot, and he clapped too!

Our Fourth of July was fun! We did a lot, but at the same time, it was really relaxing. We started the morning off by going to our ward breakfast.

After the breakfast, we headed to a parade in Boulder City, but we got there just as it ended, so we had our own water fight in the street. We came home and watched a movie and played croquet. Afterwards, we had a BBQ, then headed to downtown Henderson to watch the fireworks. We were with my mom and brother, our friend Adam, and our friends Kim and Nate, their 2 little girls, and Kim's family. This is a picture of Landon and Eden...how precious!

My family! We missed my dad this fourth of July because he was in Iraq for work.

Our friends...the kids loved the fireworks!

After the fireworks, we went to Kim's parents house for more fireworks.

On July 6, Nate threw Kim a surprise birthday party, so we went to that! It was at the coolest house! If you lived there, you'd never be bored! This is a picture of Paul and Landon crawling their way to a secret hiding spot! I was down below taking the pics.

This was a cool swing/ chair that was in the middle of the living room! Landon loved swinging in it!

Here is Landon and Ireland jumping together on a mini trampoline.

This picture is really fuzzy because Paul took it on his phone, but it was a rock climbing wall, in the house!

Here's Landon after church one day! His hair is kind of crazy!

The weekend of July 17, we headed to Arizona for a few days to visit Paul's family. Our first day there, Paul's mom took us to the lake. We had bought Landon a life jacket and he hated it! It was a little bit too big, luckily Paul's mom had a smaller one! He still hated it though! The lake was fun! We got tan, Paul wakeboarded, I tried wakeboarding, but I couldn't get up! Haha!

While we were in AZ, we also decided to give Landon a little hair cut! It was his first hair cut, given by his Aunt Havy. Not much got cut off...I just love his little curls!

On July 20, (we were still in AZ) we had lots of fun! Our day started off by going to see Hannah Montana The Movie, at the dollar theatre...my poor hubby, I made him go, and I had already seen it before! After the movie, we went to the Mesa Temple and the visitor's center there. This is a picture of Landon listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. He liked the headphones!

Our little boy loves music!!!

Here's Daddy and Landon looking at the Christus statue...Landon kept saying Che-sus...which I''m guessing is Jesus. He says Che-sus to every white statue he sees! It's so adorable.

Then my hubby surprised me with American Idol tickets!!! It was a lot of fun! I felt bad for Kris Allen though, the way the concert was done, it seemed more like Adam won and not him...poor guy! Danny was my favorite though!

Here's Landon enjoying a day at the park! He is a fan of slides!

Here is Landon with the craziest bed head! I had to get a pic of it and share it with all of you=)

Paul is now back in school. He's in his second year at Touro University. We've got a long road ahead of us, but we are excited for it! As for me, I've been a crafting machine! I'm always working on something new! Landon is getting so big and so smart! He can point to his belly button and says "booy booy" and his nose and says "nose". Landon is also now saying; ball, doggie, book, balloon, yellow, blue, juice, shoes, "Chesus" which is Jesus, daddy, mommy, hi, bye, night night, no no, eye, bubble, and eat! He tells me when he want to eat, it's so cute! He calls his binky a mi mi! He's obsessed with shoes! He's pulled out lots of our shoes and put them on, including my heels. Silly boy! We love him so much and the joy that he brings to us! We really are blessed=)

Golf Caddy

Here is Landon playing golf caddy...he doesn't quite get how to golf yet! He's happy carrying it all around!

Waterpark

On Wednesday, June 17, we met up with some people from our ward and went to a little waterpark in Boulder City. This is one of the few pictures I got of Landon there, he was kind of scared of the water shooting up out of the ground, this is him looking at the water. He warmed up to the water by the time it was time to go!

Camping

On June 8, (wow am I behind!!!) Landon and I, met up with Paul at work for a quick overnight camping trip! We also rode up with Paul's co-workers wife and 2 kids. This was a very interesting camping trip! Well it had an interesting start at least! I was driving down the road and apparently made a wrong turn to our destination! This wrong turn added another 2.5 hours to the drive, scratches on my nice car, and my car got stuck in sand!!! Aah! There was no cell phone service...so I couldn't call for help, and I had no idea I was going the wrong way! I had an empty Wendy's cup in the car, so we used that to help digging out sand from around the tire! After a while of digging and trying to drive my way out...I realized I wasn't in four wheel drive! I put the car in 4 wheel drive and we made it out! Thank goodness! Eventually We saw a golf course, so we pulled over, tried to reach our husbands and couldn't. I eventually reached a friend who informed me I made a wrong turn...the worst part is I made this same wrong turn twice because I just thought I missed the turn off to the guys camp spot! I eventually got on the right path and we were united with our husbands! What a relief that was! When we got there we made hot dogs over the camp fire and smore's for dessert! We also played some card games, and I got more and more used to using the bathroom in the wilderness! Haha! Landon loved camping! He loved being outside! The next morning, we played card games, and ate cereal for breakfast. Afterwards, we packed up and left. It was that short of a trip! We had a lot of fun, and got to make some new friends=)

This is my car...buried in sand!

Landon eating dirt...It was hard keeping him out of things!

Our family...we all look kind of gross...but we're camping so it's ok!

Landon having a good time!

Michigan Trip

On May 14, 2009 my dear sweet grandmother passed away.  On May 28, our family flew up to Michigan for my grandmother's funeral, which was held on May 31. The room where the service was held was filled with all of my grandma's family and close friends whom she loved so much. Stories were told of my grandma, and we were all reminded of the good times we shared with her. She is greatly missed by us all. I find so much comfort in knowing that one day, we will meet again.

This is a picture of Me, Landon, Grandpa and my brother Ross before the funeral.

This is my mom's side of the family...minus my dad who is in Iraq.

We took a walk one day to the park in my grandparents neighborhood. Here is Landon and me on the merry go round! He had a lot of fun! I'm grateful he didn't barf! Haha!

On Monday, June 1, we celebrated my 24th birthday! There really isn't much to do where my grandparents live...and sadly it wasn't boating weather! We went to Big Boy's for lunch, and for dinner we ordered a pizza. I was sick on my birthday, and looked really gross, so I decided not to post that picture! The next day we went golfing! It was my first time ever golfing! I LOVED it! I did really bad though...110 points and we only did 9 holes! Haha! Here are a couple of pictures of Paul and me while golfing! 

Utah Trip

On May 22, Landon and I headed up to Utah with my friend Tiffany and her fiance Johnny. The next day, Tiffany and /i did some shopping at Tai Pan and Down East Outfitters! I love those stores! Then we went to my friend Evelyn's wedding reception.  Evelyn and I worked together at the call center when I lived in Provo. Here's me and Landon with cute little Evelun. She was such a beautiful bride. 

On our last day in Utah... I went into the basement,  where Tiffany and I were staying. I said to her "the plaid on your dress looks a lot like the plaid on my shorts." She looked at it closely and said, "It is the same plaid as my dress." Of course we had to take a picture! The funny thing is I got my shorts at JCrew and she got her dress at CVS pharmacy. We thought that was funny too! That just made me learn that JCrew is way too overpriced...our plaids were the exact same colors and quality! This also goes to show, best friends think alike!
