Landon's New Obsession-Football

Landon has recently discovered football and absolutely loves it! In the picture below Troy was looking at some stats on the computer with Landon next to him getting excited to see football players on the computer. When it was time to close the laptop and get ready for church, Landon threw a fit and ran upstairs to our room, turned on the TV, and flipped through the channels until he found football. He stopped crying and sat down to watch it while we got ready for church.

These next two pictures have become another habit of his. For breakfast and lunch he thinks he needs to eat his meal on a towel, on the floor, while watching football. He now also gets excited for baseball and hockey. I only wish I had been recording these for tomorrow's long flight!

Might I add how proud his Father is of him.

Grandma came for a visit-well over a month ago!

My mom helped me fly home from Utah this summer and stayed for a few weeks. We had a lot of fun. Here are some of the highlights:
Miniature golf

The Beach

How many Grandma's do you know that will strike a pose like that?

Is she really a Grandma, or is she one of the kids?

I love NYC! Especially shopping in Chinatown with a mom willing to spend some moola!

The view from the Top of the Rock! This was such a good find. It's the same price as the Empire State Building without the LONG wait!

We even made it out to Hershey Park......on an overcrowded weekday. We gave up on rides and went to the waterpark only to find that they had hours of lines just to get into the pools. Landon was able to ride lots of kiddie rides and had a great time.

We had a great time with Grandma and can't wait to see you again next week!

Utah Trip

Finally, here are the pictures from our trip to Utah. I know there are so many. No need to examine each picture, just keep scrolling so you get an idea of what we did while we were visiting.

Happy Pioneer Day!

Anyone who has spent time with us this summer knows how much this kid loves water. He doesn't bat an eye which worried me while staying at my parents house with a swimming pool in the backyard. He did really well though and never tried to go out on his own, thank goodness, but we did go for a swim every day!

My sister, Megan, blessed her baby while we were there. Baylee Rae Hoffman.

Oquirhh Mountain Temple open house.

Baylee's cute crib bedding.

Feeding the ducks in Megan's backyard.

Swimming at the Bountiful Rec Center.

This is Landon's favorite-floating. He has such good control in the water.

Playing in the water feature at Gateway Mall.

I got to see my college roomate, Katie, and 3 of her 4 children!

Playing in the slip and slide with cousins.

At day at the cabin and a boat ride which I have no pictures of. I left my camera somewhere else. The boat ride was a blast.

Isn't Baylee cute?

Four generations.

The view from my Grandparent's backyard is so pretty.

Landon found my Grandma's swimming suit hanging over the railing and put it on and kept saying "water, water, water".

Don't my Grandparents look great?

This picuture tuned out so cute. It was taken on my parents front porch after church.

More swimming.

We got to go to Park City and ride the alpine slide. This is such a blast. Here we are on our way up the mountain.

Here's the view from the top.

Grandpa!

Megan

Landon and I!

This is what we slide down!

Ta Da!
