LANDON IS FINALLY SLEEPING IN HIS BIG BOY BED!!

After about three weeks of Landon being put in his bed and then ending up in ours in the middle of the night. He FINALLY did it. Landon has been sleeping in his fire truck bed all night! It is SO wonderful. I used to complain that sleeping in bed next to Brett was the most time I get to spend with him. Then all the sudden we had a sweet, snoring boy in between us. Granted one of us has to lay on the floor next to his bed till he falls asleep and if you get caught sneaking out he'll let you know how he feels about it. But I'll take it. It's been getting a little better each night. We are so proud of him!

Our day at Discovery Gateway

So we decided that since Brett and I both had a day off together that we would call up Grandma Laurie and cousin Hyrum and go to the zoo. Of course wouldn't you know it by the time we made it up there it was raining cats and dogs. So we decided to go to Discovery Gateway instead. It ended up being SO fun. They had all sorts of activities for the boys to do there. Land and Hyrum absolutly had a blast and it entertained them the whole afternoon. On the way home since the boys were so good we even stopped at build a bear. By the time we got home we had two very tired little boys!

Landon's 2 year old pictures

My little boy is 2 now! I totally don't feel old enough to even have a two year old. Not to mention how old he looks in these pictures. We had fun getting them done though. We of course had to get them done with some of his trains, which is his latest obsession. I am always surprised with how many good shots they actually get. It seemed like we couldn't get Land to hold still the whole time.

The Next Star of the Jazz

Landon loves playing basketball. He could play ball for hours. He never gets sick of it. Look out D-Will, here comes the next star of the Jazz. (we might need one after the game on Wednesday.) GO LAND! He gets so excited if you cheer for him. He's gotta have fans there to play. He thinks it's even cooler when his dad will play with him.

Balls, Balls and more Balls

Lately Landon is really into balls. Soccer balls, Footballs, Baseballs, you name it he loves it. He won't even take a nap without having all of his balls right there with him. He's crazy! We take the balls (all of them) everywhere we go!

Landon LOVES trucks! I caught him in his room the other day trying to ride on one of his dump trucks. It made me laugh. I couldn't resist grabbing the camera and snapping a shot of it.

Being Greatful for the Crazy Busy Life.

Lately I feel like I barily have time to breath. Between school, work, being mommy and wife, I'm a little overwhelmed. I am just barily figuring out how to use "the blog". Thanks to working a night shift. I really kind of feel bad that I have to look at everyone's blogs in order to know what is going on in my family. I see Grandma Glenda more at work than I do anywhere else. Pretty Pathetic. My poor husband and I only get to sleep next to each other and that's all the time we spend with each other. I sometimes feel like Landon forgets that I'm his mommy and not his Grandmas. All I really want to do is be a mommy and be able to take Land to the park whenever I feel like it,and to be able to play outside all day with him, and to be able to go on as many wagon rides as he wants.
I get so caught up in all that I think I have going on, that I forget to stop and be greatful for the wonderful things that I do have going on in my life.
One of my good friends that I go to school with has 3 children, all of which have health problems, just got a new home because his old one was demolished because of black mold.
I am so greatful for the home that I live in and a family who are all in good health. I cannot imagine adding a sick family onto the platter. My family is wonderfully supportive of all that I am doing. I really am greatful for that. I have to remember, "This is only temporary."
