Landon had his 3rd birthday party (a little early) at Chuck E Cheese this weekend. He was so excited to have a day "all about him". I'll post more pics from the party this week.

Meet Skippy

Landon's best friend, snuggle bunny and quite frankly the LOVE of his life. Oh Skippy, what would we do without you...

Landon's First Day of Preschool

All grown up and ready to go! He had a successful day at school and didn't shed one tear when I dropped him off. He was so excited. When I picked him up he was upset because his teacher had taken Skippy away after nap time so that it didn't get "germs". He was NOT having any of that!! He was mad for about 20 minutes after we left. However his nap was also cut short by about 2 hours!!
I enjoyed my day by shopping, painting Bennett's letters and taking a nap. I can't wait until Thursday!

"I Stuck, Help Me"

These are the words we heard last night. After calling for Landon to come here, Rich and I here him say "I Stuck, Help Me". We rushed upstairs to find this. He is sooooooo not going to like giving up his things for Bennett. We are back trying to transition him to the big boy bed. He does fine at bed time, but for nap he says "I want baby bed". Ugh.

This is what Landon thinks of Chuck E Cheese...

I can still remember every detail of your BIRTH DAY 7 years ago. It seems like just yesterday! Although I can't wait to see what you become, you need to stop growing up so fast!! You are a wonderful son and a terrific big brother. You are into legos, star wars, gi joes, wii and your new toy Ipod touch. You love to wake up early and you hit the floor running. You make people laugh because you love to tell stories. You can't wait for hunting season so that you can spend time with your Daddy. Your best friend is Emma and your even better friend is your brother Landon. You can't wait for Bennett to be born and I can't wait to see you with him. We love you Carter Sterling Paddack!!

Carter's 1st day of 2nd grade!

Carter had a great 1st day of school. He is really excited because he has some friends in his class....VERY important at any age I guess.

Here is a picture from today. Carter 2nd grade...



Here is his first day last year. Carter 1st grade...



The difference is that last year he had no problem taking the picture for me. This year, I had to beg him to go stand in front of the school.
