We've come a long way BABY!

I was looking at old pictures the other day and could not believe how tiny Landon really was when he was born. He still has a ways to go until he catches up, but man has he grown! Take a look at then....



Now (3 1/2 months later)...

Edward and Landon

I don't have time to post, but I wanted to get some pictures up of Landon and Edward. Rich's cousin, Don, and his family are in from London. I will have more pics later, but here are some we took this week. I am also working on pics from Lindsey's wedding that will hopefully be posted tomorrow with a longer update. Of course, I have to also add one of Carter and "Old McDonald"...which is what Carter calls Uncle Donald (who, by the way, owns a farm...how fitting).

I love these kids!

I am really starting to get used to staying home and am enjoying being a Mom so much! Landon is really starting to develop a personality and Carter is just a bundle of energy who makes me laugh all day long. He has such a strong personality and is so creative that it really keeps me on my toes. I can't wait to see what he is going to be when he grows up. This past week, Rich was in Vegas on business, so we went to Bullard for a few days. We went to see my cousin Melissa and her family. Molly is living with them now, so Carter was so excited to see Molly. Here are some pictures from our visit.

Sorry Dad, but I had to put this picture. This is what happens when you put Papa in a lazy boy with a baby.

This is my boys all dressed and ready for the game yesterday. It hurt my heart when they lost but that is okay...they had a great season!

Here is my cousin Melissa with Landon.
Here are the cousins...Carter, Landon, Nicholas and Carson. They play so good together!
Reunited again...Carter and Molly.
This weekend Lindsey gets married. I will definitely have pictures next week of Carter in his tux! I am so happy for Lindsey and can't wait for this weekend!

Never Boring

This is what happens when you leave Carter alone with Landon.
This is what happens when Carter finds a pair of scissors, alone in the bathroom, while brushing his teeth.

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! You can see more of Jaxon at http://heltontexas.blogspot.com/
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!
