Thanks uncle Brady!

Uncle Brady taught Landon this little trick this past weekend...

Fun with Aydan

Landon had a good time with his cousin Aydan that visited this weekend. Brady and Mandy had come down for Trevor's first tournament game (which they won!!!) and we had a very nice time. While they were here, Brady taught Landon how to climb the couch (video to come), now I really have to keep an eye on my little guy!

Here are a couple pictures we managed to take of the two monkeys:




I was sad that this picture turned out blurry - I just love the two expressions here. It looks like Landon's about the take a big bite out of Aydan's head and Aydan knows it!

Valentine's Party

We had a Valentine's Party over the weekend for my Sunday school class and neighborhood kids. We had a good time.

Here is a picture of all the kids that were able to come:



Here's the Valentine's crafts they made:

Catching up...

I haven't been around much as far as blogging goes. So, here's a little recap of what we've been up to.

Mom, Dad, & Rebekah (sister) came down from Iowa to visit this past week. They were a HUGE help in house projects and it was a lot of fun to spend good quality time with them. Landon learned how to say, "Nana" which made my mom happy. I wish I had some pictures to share!

Seth and I went to an Oklahoma City Thunder Game and out to eat last weekend to celebrate our birthdays. It was our first date alone since Landon was born. It was a good game and they won! We had a nice time.



We have gone to the zoo twice in the last week. The first time it was Seth, Landon and I. Landon was only interested in the water fountain and we managed to get this silly monkey picture.



The second time was today. We went with April, Layla, and Finn. It was fun to watch Layla enjoy the animals.



Landon has curls! I don't know if they will stick around, but for now I just love them :)

Pray

**Update: The baby was born at 2:30am this morning. Tony came out and told them "she is beautiful and perfect." They named her, Alethia (meaning Truth) Joy. They are planning on having a memorial service at their church on Sunday. Keep praying for them. This is going to be a hard road for them to travel.

*Update: The baby has indeed gone home to be with the Lord. They have induced Charity so please pray for them tonight. Pray that the time they have with their little girl would be precious and the God of all comfort would be near their hearts.

Please lift my dear friends from Emmaus up before the Throne of Grace. Tony and Charity have just found out that their baby girl who was due to be born any day now does not have a heart beat. I can't imagine the pain they are feeling right now, but they desperately need your prayers.
