Landen's 5th Birthday Party

This past Sabbath we had a birthday celebration for Landen after church.  We have had a new family that has moved out into our area so the boys enjoy EVERY opportunity that they can get to be together with their new friends!!  Birthdays are a great reason to do just that!!

Riley, Melissa, Landen, Hayley and Jaren

Wanted a rocket cake so he could blast off into the next year!

Our birthday boy!

Loving the cake!

Thanks to those that came and made it special for him!

Our Baby Turns 5 today!

Jaren meeting his new brother for the first time - not too sure about this thing that will take over our lives!

And now....a vibrant, lively, entertaining little boy that we have on our hands...who thinks he can conquer the world and he just may do that!!!  Love him to bits!

Happy 5th birthday Landen!!

We love you!!!

Ponies, Ponies, Ponies

We have been Pony-Sitting some miniature horses for the past couple of weeks.  These are Jonathan and Kaitlyn's horses so when they left over Christmas we thought that it was a good thing to have the boys go and look after.  We have been really quite enjoying them and their little personalities!  I don't know if Landen is going to let them go back home.  They are his new buddies!!

Going for a ride on Spice - only if she'd move!!

Whinny

Spice is more interested in trying to eat Landen's boot!

"Mom, we need to change the batteries!"

"Finally!"

"Take a picture of me!!!"

Giving Whinny some lovin'

Our Lil' Farmer

Harvest season is upon us in full swing and Landen loves to go combining with his Dad.  Especially now that he has more time in the day since his beg brother is off at school now.  So I have had the pleasure of having a couple of hours to myself when both boys are gone and it is nice to be able to get a fair bit accomplished in such a short time!

I think I see the combine!

Waiting for a ride.

Lunch packed and all - just like Daddy!

All by myself!

Oh Oh, Watch Out!

Watch out world, Landen is now behind the wheel!

Landen's 4th Birthday

A little birthday party we had on March 10th as cousins Jonathan and Kaitlyn came out for a short visit to the farm.

He is soooo hard to get to smile normally!!! :)

Wonderment of a 4 yr old!

Our onlooker as the boys opened up Landen's presents at home

For his 4th birthday Landen recieved his very own and very first bike!

He was quite happy and can't wait until the mud dries to ride it outside - for now the shop will have to do!
