Hospital Stay?

Well, as you can see, Landon spent last Friday night in the hospital. He had his 15 month visit with shots earlier in the evening. A little later he had a sever reaction to something. His face swelled up and went bright red. He had big welts and hives all over his body. The doctor gave him some epinepherine and benadryl at his office,and when the rashes died down they sent us the Provo hospital to spend the night for observation. The idea of sleeping in the hospital was a good one, but the actual act of sleeping there was much easie said than done. We were zombies the next day at Kaylyn's shower. Thanks to Nana and Papa for bringing us some pjs and a big thanks to jared and amy for bringing us dinner and Sully. Luckily he's fine now and we found out yesterday that he is not allergic to any foods! We just have to be careful with immunizations for kindergarten.

Birthday pics sneek peek!

We had Nicole Steiner take our pictures. We did a few family shots, but mostly of the babe. What a cutie! This was the favorite of the sneek peek!
We found this adorable swing. If she got one with him looking up then I will definitely print it. I love how happy he is!

I love the balloon shots, but I think he was getting pretty tired at this point! Sometimes I love he somberness he has.

I love this one too!

Random pics and Landon's 1st b-day

Here's our little monster on Halloween Eve. Hey, at least he stayed nice and toasty!

I just loved how he was snuggling the puppy. Jeff gave that to me before his mission. Now Landon loves it!

Here are the birthday boys! We went out to eat on their actual birthday. It doesn't look like it, but they were both happy, I promise!

Here are just a few of the guests who attended the birthday party(there are many more pictures,but I had to narrow them down)....

Joan and my Mom. Joan is a close family friend.

Tyler and Tish

Justin, Susan , and Cooper

Nick and Kaylyn. I can't believe Nick is actually smiling! That's very unusual, but very ncie.

Great Grandpa and Grandma Curtis came clear from Logan.

Here he is enjoying all the new toys.

The food was great. 3 soups, homemade rolls, and veggies. Yummy! Oh, and cupcakes for dessert.

This is the monster cake that I made for Landon to eat!

He started with the frosting...........

found the cake inside and loved it...................

and tried to share it with his mommy!

The end result. I love this boy more and more each day. He makes us very happy, and we're lucky to have him in our family. Happy Birthday Bud!

Nana's camera threw up!

Jeff's Mom and Dad have been taking lots and lots of pictures! Here's what Landon has to say about the pics.......
I had my first trip to St. George. I sat in my first cave.............

I held my first lizard, and Mommy wasn't very happy about it.

Auntie Nicky put the lizard on my head. Mommy wouldn't get very close!

My first family photo in St. George. It was hot, but it was fun!

I got my first taste of the hot tub, but it definitely wasn't my last!

I decided to like the grass (just not moving around in it).................

............... and then I changed my mind! It feels weird.

I had my first trip down the slide too. I really liked it; you just can't tell.

I love swinging in the swing. I love it when Nana pushes me so high!

I watched my first firework show at Nana and Papa's house. I liked the lights, but it was too loud so mommy went and got me and cooper some ear plugs.

I saw my first sparkler, but Mommy wouldn't let me touch it. Mean mommy!

I got all tangled in a blanket. I laughed.

I love my Daddy so much. He's a good daddy!

I'm becoming pretty good friends with my cousin, Cooper. I'm trying to show him some love here, but he's distracted by something else.

Nana was tickling me with the spider. I love Nana. She plays with me and gives me Popsicles, ice cream, and everything else that mommy and daddy would say no to.

I tried a sippy cup for the first time. I don't like it so much, but mommy keeps trying.

I tried my first taste of corn on the cob. I just like to suck the cob dry. I loved it!

Summer Fun part 3.5

For some reason part 3 of our summer fun posted way down the page, so scroll down and take a peek if you feel so inclined!

Summer fun (part 2)

We went camping for a couple of night during the week of the 24th of July! It was fun, but oh so hot! We found a really great campground up in Midway! The squirrells were in abundance, and we were close to a restroom and shower. What more could I ask for? We went to Cascade Springs one day and Jeff (the awesomest photgrapher ever) got some good shots of the water! I love this picture of the springs. It's SO good!

We saw lots of these dudes flying around! Landon loved it!

Our family picture on the bridge. Landon was distracted by the running water! The second night was a thunder storm. I'm not a fan of thunder and lightning when I'm outside....ESPECIALLY when there is lightning and thunder!

We enjoyed our time at the springs. Can you tell?

Just one more!

This is the view on the way down the mountain!

Landon was exhausted from all of the fun so Jared S. gave him some Oakleys to play with! What was he thinking? Luckily, it put Landon to sleep and no injuries occured to the Oakleys!(whew!)

Jared and Amy bought Landon some cookies for a treat. You can tell he loves himself a good cookie! He rubbed it on the dirt, and in some ash, but he didn't care. It was good. It also gave me a good excuse to take a shower while camping... Landon was filthy, and I had to fix it!

We had to beat the heat with what we could find. Dear slurpee, why didn't we find you sooner?!

We went to the Park City Outlets the next day, and as you can see, Landon loved the "new" stroller for the day. He loves a good walk!

I know he'll kill me later for this one (if Jeff hasn't already), but I couldn't resist. We need to have girls. Look how cute they'd look with bows and flowers in their hair! Jeff didn't like it, Mom loved it, and Landon wasn't too sure of anything!

We went to seven peaks a couple of days later. Can you tell his nap schedule got all out of wack during the week. Landon managed to take a good one at the water park. It's about the only picture we took at 7 Peaks! I wasn't about to take any of me! It was fun to hang out with the family! I got fried on my back, but tan everywhere else. I'll take it!

Summer Fun ( Part 1)

We went to Logan on July 15th for Curt's wedding on the 16th. We got there and we found a cozy coupe for Landon to try out! You can't really tell, but he is enjoying it! He was totally relaxed with his leg hanging out of the door!We finally managed to get a picture of us with the newlyweds! The Maddox lodge in Brigham City is gorgeous and their food is fabulous! Their rolls are better than the Lion House! Go try them!

Intrducing Landon's newest Grandma, Kristie! Welcome to the family!

After the wedding, we went to the zoo. Landon loved anything that moved. The monkeys were his first favorite!

This is an elephant in case you weren't sure!:) The baby one wasn't doing anything at all so I got the big one!

I personally liked the giraffes

Landon is such a happy baby.....even in the heat!

He is the size of an infant Orangutan.......

and the same size as an infant gorilla! Jeff can't resist feeding the swans! It even bit his finger! Landon liked the ducks too!

The mister fans were very popular. Landon thought it was so funny! I promise!

Yes, that is my hair..... it felt good, though!As you can tell, Landon slept all the way home! He loved, loved, loved the ostrich, but I don't know what file I put that picture in. If I can find it, I'll post it!

I love these two boys! I can't get over his cute smile!
