Landon's Birthday Party!

Landon had his birthday party this weekend. It went well besides the last minute changes we had to go through, but thanks to Jon and Jen (who saved us) with the location of the party it went great. Landon wanted a sports birthday party with a Ninja Turtle Cake. So I was on the mission to make his cake. There was not a single Ninja Turtle cake pan in the whole city so I had no choice but to free hand it. Well I think it turned out more like a Green rat then a turtle, but oh well Landon liked it so I was happy. After some Hotdogs and Hockey we went swimming with Kaden, Colby and MK. Besides Colby falling all the time and traumatizing Irene swimming was a blast.

Over all the party was fun and I am just happy it's all done and over with. Good thing birthdays only come once a year.

Word's of a Prophet

Mark sent this video to us and I just loved it so much I had to put it on our blog. What a loving Prophet we had. He will be missed.

A Night on Ice

So two weeks ago we went skating with a bunch of friends. It was Landon's first time skating and he loved it. You should have seen the smile on his face when I told him he skated just like Jarome Iginla. I don't think he is ready to skate on his own yet but he sure is fun to watch.

Christmas Fun Before Christmas

Well Now that Christmas is all over I thought that I would finally update our blog with all of the fun we had. Sorry this is long but there was just so much we did. I took Landon to our wards Primary party where they acted out the birth of Christ. When Landon found out he was going to be a Shepard he was not to happy but once I explained to him that Shepard's had big muscles there was nothing else he wanted to be. He was so cute.
Then it was time for fun at Tom and Irene's before they left to go out east for Christmas. We all went over and made Gingerbread houses and the kids made snow flake tree ornaments.
Samantha had more fun eating hers then decorating it.
But she sure did love getting her hands dirty.

More of our little Shepard

We had an early Christmas as well where Landon got his gift from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a hockey table he was so excited. You should have seen his face. I think it was a winner.

We went with Jon and Jen and MK to a breakfast at Cardel Place. The kids got to eat and make crafts and even sit on Santa's lap..... well all but Landon because he just wanted daddy to tell Santa for him what he wanted for Christmas.

Our little family oh how cute. The pre Christmas was a blast stay tuned for the actual Christmas pictures.

We put Samantha into the Jolly jumper for the first time and boy did she have a blast. I have never seen a 6 month old jump that much. We got some cute pictures as well. Landon was such a big help every so often he would get off his motor bike to come a help her or try to make her laugh he is such a good big brother.

The Long Weekend

It was a great long weekend. We had Landon so we jumped in the car Saturday and went to Sherwood Park. It was so great to see the family and let Landon play with his cousins. The boys had a blast playing Hockey and Basketball, well Samantha showed off her new talent of sucking on her toes.

On Monday morning we had a visit from three ninja turtles. They were so cute running around and doing all the ninja tricks. Landon was so excited when Kaden and Colby gave Landon two swords to keep. Thanks guys.

Well it was a fun weekend and I know Landon misses the boys he has already said we need to call them and ask them to come over to our house. Thanks for all the fun.

Trick or Treat

Wow I can not believe we beat Jon on the Halloween blog. Sorry there are so many pictures but it was a big night. It was a night of firsts. We had Landon for the first time on Halloween and boy was it fun. Landon had so much energy he just wanted to run from house to house. He was the best Ninja turtle I had ever seen. He scored and got a ton of candy but the only Candy he really wanted were the chips lol. It was also Samantha's first Halloween ever and her costume was the big guessing game people said she was a sheep or a poodle we even heard she was a cute pig the correct answer was a poodle. She was such a trooper going from door to door getting her daddy and Grandpa Tom candy. Which leads me to the final first of Halloween JON GOT TOM INTO THE SUMO COSTUME! I could not believe it. I was so much fun having Tom go around with the kids I think he even went to a few doors to get candy for himself.

The pumpkin pictures were from the Monday before Halloween the kids carved pumpkins and made spider cookies. Ryan and Landon made a spider dog as well. Kayla made a whole bunch of spider cookies with Grandma well Landon ate the oreos.

It's been a fun week, but now it's time to start planning for Christmas lol (I said that to scare Ryan) Happy Halloween!
