Nine Years Old

Today is Landon's Birthday! Nine years old. He is a good kid and I am blessed to be his mom. He loves to laugh and has one of those great contagious laughs. He loves technology stuff. He was drawing pictures with the computer mouse and working the tv remote when he was only a year old. He is a good big brother and we love him lots. In this first picture, he is sporting his new t-shirt and his new green ipod.

He wanted donuts instead of cake. Mmmmmm donuts.

And we finally got some new curtains.

And we made some throw pillows to match.

And Vince made an arbor with some of the branches that he trimmed from our trees. The birds love it. Every morning, we have a few robins perched up on top.


And crazy story of the week. We had a great 4th of July. Many of the fireworks that are illegal in Utah are fine here. The kids had a great time lighting them off with some friends. While we were on the street in front of their house, just a few blocks from our house, Vince re-connected with an old classmate. One of Vince's classmates lives just a few blocks from us. This is crazy because Vince had a graduating class of 2 and this girl, a year older than him had a class of 3. They haven't seen each other in 24 years. What are the odds of two people from a highschool of less than ten people ending up in the same little town a few states away 24 years later? She just moved here last year. It's a small small world.
