Our trip to Target..

This last Monday night we had quite the event at Target. Ryan needed a few things for his trip this week, so we picked those items up. Landon had a poopy diaper, so I took him to the bathroom to change him while Ryan checked out! I couldn't believe it...he was a mess poop clear down his leg up his back... even ended up in his hair by the time we had him all changed. I was changing him in the bathroom when I realized I didn't have extra pants! It was a mess...the temperature outside was

-10!! SO I met Ryan outside...he decided to zip Landon up in his coat and we braved the weather! I was very embarrassed because I was sure everyone was thinking, "What are those people doing having their child out without any pants on in sub zero weather?" Another exciting adventure that comes with having a one year old!!

Landon is...

Landon is learning more sign language! He can now sign:

1. milk

2. Thank-you

Landon is learning his body parts! He now knows:

1. nose

2. feet

Landon is starting to prefer walking to crawling! He is becoming very busy and tried crawling out of his crib the other night!

The 26th with The Kirkpatricks!

Landon was very curious about Kirby (Nathan & Chrissie's dog) sleeping under all the wrapping paper!

Gift from Grandpa & Grandma Kirkpatrick!! SO CUTE!!

The Kirkpatricks were able to make it down and celebrate with us on the 26th! It was so nice of my grandparents to allow us all to stay in there house so that we could be together! We had a Mexcian fiesta! As you can tell from Kirby... we were all worn out by the end of the night!

Christms night 2009

We spend Christmas night with Mimi and Papa! They spoiled Landon with an Encore Elmo! He loves this toy. I'm pretty amazed by it as well!

Landon loved sitting in the recliner we bought for Hallie!

Uncle Jon, Aunt Katie & Hallie bought Landon a dump truck with blocks for Christmas!

Aunt Sara made Landon a fun mirror for Christmas!

Hallie hanging out in her chair!

Barn yard fun from Mimi and Papa!

Landon just couldn't wait to open presents!


We had a great time hanging out with the family! Great Grandpa Clate was able to join us which was such a blessing! We all were truly glad that he was able to be with us this Christmas season! We were so close to losing him this last year! It is apparent that God has more planned for his life! We are so thankful for the example he provides for us all! Christmas wouldn't have been the same without him!

Christmas Day 2009

Christmas Day we went over to Uncle Kelly and Aunt Teri's house for Landon's first experience of sledding. He wasn't sure what to think. His facial expression stayed just about like this the whole way down the hill! He didn't make a noise... maybe he will like it more next year!

Christmas Eve 2009

We were at Grandma and Grandpa White's house for Christmas Eve!! We all attended Christmas Eve service before dinner. It really started the Christmas season out with our minds on that little baby...Jesus...rather than all the gifts!

Hallie and Landon have grown to LOVE each other!

Opening presents from Great Grandma & Great Grandpa White!!

Landon is Walking!

Landon is taking more steps as of a week ago. He still prefers to crawl, but is starting to walk inbetween things. We love this stage, but I'm sure we will be wishing he wasn't walking once we are chasing him down! We had a great weekend. Ryan celebrated his 30th birthday on Sunday, so Nathan, Kristen and Luke came to visit. Landon loved getting to see his aunt and uncles! They were excited to see all of his new tricks. We can't wait until Christmas when all the Kirkpatricks will join us at Grandma and Grandpa White's house.
