Happy 2nd Birthday Landen!!!!

Here comes a LONG post!! Be ready.
This is a day early, but I don't work tomorrow and my computer isn't hooked up at my house so I have to wish Landen a happy birthday today.
Landen is turning 2 tomorrow! He had a birthday party last Saturday which turned out great. His friends and family were there to help him celebrate and he got blessed with LOTS of presents that we are still finding places for! Thank you to everyone!
Landen is a great boy.
We got him a trampoline for his birthday and he is getting really comfortable on it! Here is a video of him falling on his bottom and learning how to do a somersault. Turn your mute on because I am pretty obnoxious! lol

Here are pics of his birthday party.











This is by the end of the party...




I have been teaching Landen letters. He now knows 4!!!! Here is another video. He tried to trick you the first 30 seconds by acting like he did know:) I am loud in this video too so watch out!

I love you

Just a little video now that I got a new camera

Misc. (Weekend activity and Lucas Michael)

Here are just some misc pictures of Landen washing my car with his dad and as a few people have posted, Janelle and Mikey had their second baby boy yesterday!!Lucas Michael. He is SO cute!!!! I just got two pictures of him sleeping, but you can still see how dang adorable he is! Congrats Janelle and Mikey!
We also put in a fireplace in our house for christmas presents to each other. Nick's friend Darl put it in and he did a great job. I haven't decorated it yet and it's not quite done(the electrical) but here are before, during and after pics.

Baking Cookies

I know I posted this stuff backwards, but here are pictures from we when baked goodies the weekend before christmas. The cookies Landen was making are candy cane cookies, so he was trying to roll them out and place them on the cookie sheet like candy canes...you can see how they turned out:) But it's the effort that counts!




This is landens new thing he does on all coffee tables. We call it Superman. This is xmas eve at my Nonnie and Papa's.

Christmas

I hope everyone had a great christmas! We sure did. I think Christmas gets better when you have kids:) I enjoyed watching Landen open all his presents and get so excited about each one (even clothes and shoes). We were all blessed this christmas and we all got Great presents!
Here are some pictures:

Landen showing Paige how to ride her new pony:)






This is the quilt Lyndsey made Landen. Her first quilt and it's beautiful!


I know this is blurry, but I thought it was cute because Landen woke up from a nap and I had taken the tree out and he just couldn't get why there was no more tree! He went on and on about it:) This is where the tree was and he just stood there saying "all gone"

Generations

I came across this picture a couple of nights ago and thought it looked like Landen. They don't have the same face features, but this is definitely where Landen gets his build from, they have the same hands, same shape of face...This is my DAD!! He was probably about 18 months old, we think. I just thought that they sure resembled each other at this age:)

Big Dogs and Little Kids:)

I thought this was so funny. My sister and brother in law have a dog that they got from the pound. They brought her home thinking she was going to be about the size of a lab. As you can see she is a little bit bigger than that:) We love her though and she is so good with Landen. He feeds her treats and this is her trying to get the treat:) She actually does it very gentle, this picture just looks so scary:)lol

This is Sandy and Landen...being gentle:)

This is Landen in my mom's dog house panting like a dog!
