Blessing Day

Chris just loves his "baby Landon!" He did a fantastic job on the baby blessing. I am always so moved by his humility and love.
Here is a proud Grandpa! Can't you see the resemblance?
Family picture time!
Here is everyone that came out! Our bishop was very excited for the whole family to be there because it helped his attendance numbers for the month! Thank you to everyone who came and for everyone who brought stuff for lunch. We really appreciate all of you love and support for the joyous day!
So as you can probably tell, yes our son is in a dress! Also known as a Blessing Gown. I am sure some of you are probably wondering why in the world would we do such a thing? Well I will tell you! This particular Blessing Gown was purchased by my Uncle Ellis approximately 32 years ago in France. I suppose it was originally bought for my sister Jennifer to be blessed in. However it turns out that my Mom decided to bless all 4 of us (including my brother, maybe that is what is wrong with him, just kidding!) children in this beautiful gown. It is now that 4 out of the 5 grandchildren have also been blessed in the gown. I am sure my Uncle Ellis had no idea that the gown would get so much use! It is a beautiful gown and I am so glad that we were able to use it. I am also so grateful to my Uncle Ellis for being the pioneer in our family and introducing the Gospel to my parents. And even more so I am grateful to my parents for joining the church, making this blessing day possible for my little family. I am also so thankful that families can be together forever. Chris and I love all of you and we look forward to spending eternity with each and everyone of you!!!!

Happy Baby

Landon is a very happy baby and these pics really show that. Although for some reason it is hard to get his smiles on camera. I hope that is not the start to a long road of sad pics!
He loves to jabber and talk and we love to listen.
His face is filling out and he looks more and more like his Daddy!
Here is his cute little puppy dog outfit. It is kind of hard to tell, but the coat has little ears on top!

Sleeping Baby

Landon loves to sleep like this! I am pretty sure he gets it from his Daddy. Chris loves to be sprawled out himself!
The open mouth pose definitely comes from my side of the family. Hopefully this was a fluke and he will sleep with his mouth closed!
This pose was definitely one of our absolute favorites. It reminds me of Heavenly things because it is so sweet and innocent!

The GAME

This is Landon's Pre-game face! Today Landon went to his first basketball game. The game was Georgia Tech vs. Vanderbilt. It was kind of a sad game cause we lost, but it was really exciting!
We started off with a tailgating brunch at Auntie Jenn's and Uncle Gomer's. Here is the crew that went. We went with lots of team spirit, including Landon!
Here's our family photo!
Here is the after game party!! Landon was glad to be home. He actually did really well at the game. He slept in Daddy's arms and only cried a couple of times when it was extremely loud. Overall Landon did great. I think this is the start of a beautiful thing. Chris decided that Landon would have liked it better if he(Landon) had been on the court playing!
This was earlier this week. Landon looks so cute in blue! This is the last time he will get to wear this outfit. I am really sad about that cause it is a newborn size and that means my little one is growing way to fast! If he could stay little forever I would be one happy camper!

My First Thanksgiving and I even have the outfit to match!!


We Just love our little guy!




Happy Thanksgiving!! We ate lots of Turkey and we found that Landon prefers it in the liquid form! After lunch the three of us snuggled together for a nice long nap!!

Our Sweet Baby Boy!

So we think that Landon has skills. He already knows what a touchdown is and we haven't even told him yet!
Landon and I are pretty sure that Daddy will always be there for us!








This is one of my personal favorite faces that Landon likes to make! Usually it is accompanied by a surprise in his diaper!
