Birthday Party!

So sorry for it being almost a month since LBH's Birthday Bash! Lots has happened since then, and I am just now getting to where I can get things done.

Landon had an awesome birthday and got ton's of clothes and toys! Looks like we will be set on both toys and clothes for awhile. By the time it came for him to open his gifts he was so exhausted and didn't want to really have anything to do with it. But as soon as you put food in front of him he forgot all about that.

We went for our one year well visit and drum roll please.......We are a whopping 24lbs 29ins long! We are in 18-24 mon clothing and wearing a size 6 shoe!!!! Where did my baby go? We are not sitting unassisted and slowly starting to figure out the whole crawling thing. TEIS has also up'd out schedule from twice a month to once a week so hopefully soon we will start seeing alot more improvement in some areas. Landon also now thinks that he can feed himself at all times, which makes for a big mess!

My heart is breaking

So many people have been praying for the last year for Princess Payton to get to go home KY. She may have not gotten to go home with her mom, but she did go home to be with our Lord. I know it doesn't make it any easier but I know she is in a much better place, watching over all of us now. I had gotten to know Nikki while Landon was in Centennial and become instant friends. When I got the news this morning, it was the most devasting news. Payton was to come home today to celebrate her 1st birthday! This was not how it was supposed to happen! I still can't believe she's gone. Please hold tightly to your children. I know that sometimes being a parent can be difficult and especially when your little one doesn't feel good or is ill, but we at least still have them to hold and to love and we should never take that for granted.

Dear Lord, please take care of Nikki during this time. Hold her closely to you and give her peace during this time.

The Big Day is Close!

So its hard to believe that in just 4 days my little sweet baby boy will be 1! It just seems like yesterday I was doing everything I could to keep him in just alittle longer and praying for just one more day. I also think about everything that Landon has been through and just can't believe how it doesn't seem like it every happened. We are planning such a massive Birthday Party for this Saturday which is his actually birthday so we are looking forward to Sat.

Landon's having a horse themed party that is going to be the talk of the neighborhood im afraid. There were close to 150 ppl invited and while I know most of them won't show, just the thought of that number makes me laugh now. We are also going Friday for our 1year pictures with MacBrown. I am so excited about these because I know he is going to be so cute now that we are where we can do more poses. It used to be that they could only sit him propped up because he couldn't on his own. We are also going to do some new family pictures in one of the outdoor settings. I will be sure to post an updated blog after Saturday with pictures and the excitement that went on during the day.
