Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year! 2007 was definitely bittersweet. We were blessed with the birth of our son, Landon but we were also saddened by the loss of Grandma. We are looking forward to great things in 2008. We celebrated New Years Eve with our neighbors Rodney and Kirsten. They have an 11 month old son, Grayson. We ate good food and played Catch Phrase all night. If anyone has never played that game, go get it! We had a blast! It was a perfect New Years Eve, in my opinion.

Below is a video of Landon. He is really starting to talk a lot more and is getting so much fun!

Yesterday, both boys and I went to Grapevine Mills mall. That mall is huge! We were there for 4 1/2 hours. Mama gave the boys some money for Christmas. Carter wanted to make a Build a Bear with some of his. We get there and he chose the Grinch...all dressed in Pirate pajamas! It is so funny shopping with two kids now. Here I am with this stroller with bags hanging off each side (so we take up as much room as a double stroller). Landon's stroller is smaller than Carters, therefore bags don't really fit underneath. Then I have Carter trying to keep up. He is holding the Grinch in one hand and the big BOX the Grinch came in in the other. We can't throw the box away Momma because it is cardboard! (For those of you that don't know his obsession with cardboard, don't ask...thanks Granddaddy!). I would speed shop through each store, run out, go to the next, oops....what did we forget....THE GRINCH! Do you know how many times we had to back track to find the Grinch?
Then can you believe that when we got home, Carter didn't even want to sleep with the Grinch because he was too scary?


Congratulations to Bern and Will. They gave birth to the cutest little boy. Jaxon Ashton Helton weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds 1 ounce! We went to visit them tonight. Here is Landon and Jaxon meeting each other for the first time. I am sure these two will have lots of fun this time next year! We can't wait!

How cute are they?!


I hope everyone has a fun weekend. This weekend is Lindsey's Bachelorette Party. We will be staying at The Adolphus in Dallas. Carter got fitted for his tux on Tuesday. He is going to be so handsome!
