Landon's Blessing Day

Our sweet Landon was blessed in church on Sunday. It was a very nice blessing. I was relieved that he didn't fuss at all during the blessing. We really enjoyed spending the day with family. Thanks to all who came to be with us on this special day!

Brad and I had fun cooking together for the dinner. We made Cafe Rio style salads. I think it all turned out great. It's so nice to have a husband that can cook!

Here are a few pictures from the day. Landon has been smiling so cute for us, but for some reason he didn't smile much on Sunday so we couldn't capture his cute little smile on camera. Smile or no smile, he's still dang cute! My parents gave him this cute little blessing outfit. Unfortunately it didn't fit so well, but my amazing mother came to the rescue and altered it. It fit great and I love how it turned out. He did spit up pretty bad on the vest just before church, but that's just real life, right!? The cute little booties were made by our Aunt Becky.

He was going for the peaceful look. What a doll! I'll be taking him in for a photo shoot soon so expect more pics. We love our Landon!!!

5 weeks old!

Our sweet little Landon passed the 5 week mark yesterday. He's already survived his first cold. He sure seems to be a healthy and resilient little boy. He's just as sweet as can be and we've really been enjoying him. Don't get me wrong, he has his feisty moments and there are plenty of times when the only thing that will console him is being held. But that's to be expected, right? We are still feeling so blessed to have such a sweet little spirit in our home. Landon is weighing in at about 10.5 lbs. That means he's gained 2.5 lbs. since he was born. His next doctor visit is at 2 months, so then I'll have the official stats. Here are a bunch of recent pictures. There are so many because it is so hard to choose when they are all cute! As you can see he's filling out nicely.

Most of the time, he likes his swing:) If he's not in the mood, he lets me know it!

I'm keeping busy with housework, paying bills, appointments, running errands, taking care of the babe, and taking care of myself. I'm still feeling pretty sleep deprived. My mom came for a little while and then Brad's mom, Tammy, came for a few days. They were both so helpful and I can't imagine keeping up with everything without their help. Thanks to both of you!

Brad's still keeping busy managing Jamba Juice. So far the store seems to be doing quite well and Brad has learned a lot from the experience already.

We are liking it here in Twin Falls. The people in our ward have been friendly and helpful. We also have been enjoying our house, except for Landon's room. The whole house will be a comfortable temperature most of the time, while his room is either burning hot or freezing cold, depending on the time of day. Does anyone have any ideas in dealing with a poorly insulated room. We bought curtains that are meant to keep out some of the heat. Then for the early morning when it is cold I'm going to get a space heater with a thermostat. Any other ideas?

That's all for now! I'll try to post more regularly since I have such a cute subject for picture taking!

p.s. I chopped my hair off. It's an A-line bob. One of these days I'll take a picture when I'm looking halfway decent and post it:). Oh and I turned 26 this week. I had a nice and relaxed birthday.
