8 years ago today our little Landon enterd our family. He has been the only one of my scheduled c-sections that actually happend on the day we scheduled it. He had a head of yellow blond hair and his cute cowlick was already super prominent. This little boy, only 40 lbs and yea high has a large sense of humor. He has the BEST laugh/giggle.

Happy Birthday To ME...

For my Birthday I was able to go to lunch with my mom and step sister. Here is a picture of Erica and I. I love her like a sister and am so blessed to have her in my family.

Here are Bryana and Carter hanging out at Rojas. They really are the best of cousins. They love their grandma!

Welcome Lily...

On March 7th, my new niece was born. We were so excited for her arrival since we only had one girl followed by 10 boys on my side. So welcome Lily Marie! I was able to go down to Arizona to help my sister take care of her. Since Sabrina's husband is the cooker and the cleaner all I had to do is hold the baby!! Ahhhh it was the life, watching reality t.v. all day while snuggling a new baby. Thank you Sabrina for having such a beautiful baby!!! I love you and your family!!


Lily and her Aunt Diana!

Wide awake!

I was so lucky to be able to go out dinner again with my old roommate Megan! She is an amazing women and I am so lucky to have her as a friend!

Christmas Eve a little late...

So I haven't been that good at blogging lately and mainly because I put most of my pictures on facebook to share and don't think about reposting them on the blog. I will be better, I made a book of my blog with blurb.com and it turned out AWESOME! So, I have to blog so at the end of the year I can make another book and not have to scrapbook. So Here is Chrstmas eve at my moms house.

Here is Carter making his "number 1" pose he tends to always do once the camera is out. Makes a mother proud!

Here is Preston with his cousin Jonathan.

Parker and Skyler, notice Landon in the background......

Here is Jonathan and Skyler with their Lego Starwars stuff

My mom got all the kids riendeer antlers and of course leave it to Landon to wear them like this the rest of the night!

Here is my mom with the grandchildren in their antlers. My mom also wore her's the rest of the night! I love all these kids and I am so glad my kids have them to grow up with!

Cheesy Landon...

Thanksgiving 2009

For Thanksgiving we went to my moms house like every year. I made a 2 types of pumpkin pie and the classic, green bean casserole. We had a blast with the family. I really love my family.
Here is our "princess" Bryana.

Here is Uncle Ryan wrestling around.

Ian with the "turkey" hat! Gobble, Gobble! He loved the waddle hanging in his face.

Here is my Uncle Bill with his new wife Karen. She is great! We really enjoyed getting to know her better.

Our happy boy, the life of the party!

Here is my mom the best cook in the world. Except for the butternut squash soup that she made all of us try. Not my favorite, but hey, I tried it.

My sister came in town for the holiday and so we could throw her a baby shower. I really love spending time with her and it always makes me sad when she leaves.
