Happy 5th Birthday!

Landon celebrated his 5th birthday yesteday, Dec. 30th! I cannot believe that my baby is already 5 years old and that he will be going to school in a few months. Man, time flies!

Landon has brought so much to our lives over the past 5 years! He has really transformed into a little boy in the last year and is ALL BOY for sure! This past year he finally got his wish and he became a big brother. He is a terrific brother and always wants to help with Parker. Parker is a lucky little guy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!!!!

We love you,

Mommy and Daddy

More Christmas pictures....

This is out of order but here are a few more pics....

Christmas 2009

We had another fabulous Christmas! We had a lot to be thankful for this year. It was Parker's first Christmas and our last Christmas in Eden. We have always gone back to Eden and Santa has visited there. We went to Eden along with Kris and his family for the last Christmas Eve gathering. Next year we will be at our own home to start our own traditions! It has been a tradition to be in Eden but like all things, it was time to end it. We have lots of good memories!!!

Santa was good to both boys and so were the grandparents! Landon's favorite thing is his Indian outfit(go figure) and Indian figurines! Santa could have saved a lot of money....HA!! Parker does not really have a favorite thing and slept through a lot of his gifts!

We spent Christmas day with my dad and did Christmas with Josh's family the day after! Now, we are trying to find places to put everything!

We hope that you all had a great Christmas and that the New Year is as great!

More Leopold....

Leopold continued to be wild the last few days he was here with us. He drove Landon's jeep, got into the candy, made a zip line in the house and even made his final appearance in Eden! We had a great time with him this year...how will he top it next year????

My sweet boys!

Happy 2 month Birthday!

Parker officially turned two months old on the 13th! Wow, time has flown by so far. He is really starting to smile and coo at us now. Landon still wants to eat him up and is loving being a big brother!

More Leopold.....

Well, Leopold has continued to be wild this holiday season! Check out pics below to see more of his craziness!!!

He made a snow angel out of flour and he was found in the freezer eating a Popsicle!

Smiles!

I love when babies start smiling and that is what Parker is doing more and more these days. Here are a few of him just because I think he is cute!

Leapold has gone crazy!

So our Elf on the Shelf, Leopold, made his appearance on Thanksgiving Day this year! Landon was beyond excited that he was back and could not wait to tell everyone. He started by just hanging out on the bookcase, then the Xmas tree and then Landon's stocking. Apparently that was not fun enough, so Leopold has gone nuts!

He toilet papered our family tree (look in the corner of the bookcase and you can see him holding the toilet paper roll), he went fishing for goldfish(not pictured), he was hanging from the bookcase with angel wings, holding the angel from my nativity scene and today he is playing tug of war with Santa and Landon's sling(not pictured yet). Landon is having so much fun trying to guess what he will be doing next.

I will continue to post pictures of what Leopold is up to next!

So it begins....

We started decorating on Thanksgiving day this year b/c I knew it would take be so much longer to get it done with a baby around and boy was I right! I am still not done.

We took the kids on Saturday to pick out our tree. As usual, we ended up with a HUGE tree that took me mnay hours to decorate. I enjoy pulling out the ornaments and remembering each year, seeing the handmade ones from Landon and now adding a new addition this year. We truly are blessed this holiday season!!!!

Thanksgiving!

We enjoyed Thanksgivimg with Josh's family here and the ones that came down from Ohio. As usual, the kids enjoyed playing with each other. I did not take a lot of pictures, but here are a few of my favorites!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
