We love boys!!

Here are a few pictures with everyone. We are having so much fun with our boys. Landon is a great big brother. He loves to help feed Matthew, and doesn't like to see him cry. We are truly blessed.


Landon got to take a break from the hospital by visiting Grandpa Van's Semi truck. He loved it and had to tell me all about it when he got back.


Our family!


Landon learning how to help feed Matthew.




Landon and Matthew's first meeting. Matthew hasn't even had his bath yet.

Matthew's here!!


We are really excited, Matthew decided to join us this morning. It's kind of a crazy story. It was a whirlwind of events, but let's just say that we got to the hospital a little after 9 am and he was born at 10:05 am. We felt like we were on an episode of ER or something. At one point Casey asked for an epidural, but the doctor just said, "It's too late for that, we're doing this one Pioneer style." I guess we waited a little too long before going to the hospital. Either way, we decided that once Matthew figured it was time, then there was no stopping him. So, here are some pictures. We have more photos with the whole fam (including Landon), but our camera is being dumb, so we'll get them posted later (Thanks Martha!!)

Its been awhile

We've been having fun waiting for our new little baby to be born. We had a visit from Michelle, Heber, Eve, & Jack. Landon loves playing with his cousins.



















Eve, What a cute baby!





















Jack. I was impressed with his big smile for the picture!




















Heber, I can tell whose child he is. :)





















Landon loves the swings at the park.





















One of Landons favorite activities is to push his fire truck down the sidewalk . It works nice for me because I can just sit there. :) You can see my baby belly is getting quite large. We should have our baby soon.

Yesterday at church it was super crowded, and we were sitting on the back side row with another couple in our ward. Landon was so good, I think he was entertained by everyone around him. We have a deacon in our ward who is Native American. He is a cute kid, very friendly and smiley. Anyway, he was standing behind us and walked toward the front of the chapel. Landon saw him and pointed and said: "Oh, Nephi." He thinks this kid is Nephi. We have been reading the Book of Mormon readers and this is where he's heard of Nephi, but we thought it was pretty good that he connected the two. :) Funny kid.

Funny Landon



















Landon is getting so big. He looks like such a big boy in his "boy jammies" as he calls them.




















He had a recent encounter with the banister at the bottom of the stairs. He was running around like a crazy man playing and he tripped on the rug and flew into the banister. He hit really hard and I thought for sure there was going to be blood and a cut in need of stitches. His forehead was dented in, but the skin didn't break, so we didn't have to make trip to the doctor. This picture was taken a couple of days later. Hi cheek was still bruised and his forehead had a scratch.

Potty Breaks - Landon takes potty breaks. He runs in the bathroom. Sometimes he puts the toilet seat up, sometimes he just stands there. But, he really does go to the bathroom and usually comes out and tells me I need to change his diaper. If the bathroom door is closed Landon finds me fast looking like he is going to wet his pants. He says "Oh door, closed." We aren't sure how young to start potty training, but it seems like he is getting the idea.

You can tell we've been to the doctor a lot lately when Landon is playing with his cars and says "Bye, See ya, I'm going to the doctor." I guess he does like it because I usually bribe him with treats to be quiet, and he gets to ride in an elevator.

If offered a bandaid Landon puts it straight on his neck, because that is where bandaids go. I guess my 'bandaid' on my neck was the first time he has seen bandaids a lot. :)

Happy Easter





























Landon and I (Casey) happened to be at Walmart when the Easter bunny was there, so I thought I would see if he wanted to go see him. I told Landon he would get to sit on the Easter bunnies lap, and maybe he would give him a treat. Landon ran to the Easter bunny and got on his lap and he was very excited about the Easter egg he got and the chocolate it had in it. It was fun, I was surprised he wasn't scared of him. I still haven't figured out what a bunny has to do with Easter, I guess it is just a tradition.
