What a Smarty Pants

Landon is getting smarter by the day. He loves to learn!

Three

When Allie was Landon's age we took her to SLC to see the lights at Temple Square with the Toone family. That night for dinner she requested that we take her somewhere that she could have salad and an ice water with 3 ice cubes. From that moment on she would always request/demand 3 ice cubes in her water. That went on for years and now Landon seems to have developed a similar fascination with the number 3. Every time we tuck him into bed he closely scrutinizes his surroundings to make sure that we have not forgotten his "3 blankies" and his "3 doggies". Every. Single. Time. It's a good thing I can count to 3. It has been a critical skill for raising toddlers in my home.

What do you want?

Here is a little conversation I had the other day with an extremely cranky Landon....

Mom: Would you like a drink of milk?
Landon: No!
Mom: Should we go and read a book?
Landon: No.
Mom: Do you want to watch TV?
Landon: No!
Mom: How about a cracker?
Landon: Nooooooo
Mom: Well, what do you want?
Landon: Hmmm.....a haircut.

And, so, he got a haircut. He needed one anyways.

Family Night on the Farm

Last night we took advantage of the Spring-like weather and headed to Thanksgiving Point Farm Country. It was so nice to be outside in the beautiful weather. We hope that there is a lot more enjoyable weather to come!

Two Years Ago Today...

This little miracle was placed in my arms and my heart felt whole. As I held him close, I knew that he was absolutely worth the wait...the one that we had been hoping and praying for. Our son.

Landon's birthday is a time of great reflection for me. I still thank my Heavenly Father for him every single day. I still pray for his birth mother and birth father every single day. I still fall a little more in love him every single day.
