Happy 3rd Birthday!!

Dear Landen,

Three years ago today at 5:58pm you changed our lives! (Weighing in at 9 pounds 12 ounces and 22.5 inches long.)

Today we celebrated your third birthday. As usual we had a Halloween party. I was a pirate and you were my parrot. (Your picking!)

Your family and friends came to celebrate with you. We had games and a huge angry bird piñata! You hit it like a pro!! You really enjoyed the cupcakes, you ate two of them!

But best of all, you love your new bike from Papa and Nana! It is a big boy bike!! It just about breaks my heart hen you ride it. You didn't even need practice or lessons. You just knew how to do it. It is a awesome T-Rex bike with a cool storage compartment on it! You also love the t-ball set Aunt T got you. Over all, your party was so fun!! You and your friends had a blast!

Landen, momma and daddy love you more than anything in this world (except Jesus and each other).

Every day I will strive harder than the one before to be the best mommy I can be for you and the best wife I can be for daddy.

Thank you for your unconditional love.

I love you to the moon and back

-Mom

You helped dad make breakfast this morning!

Big Boy Underwear

Dear Landen,

Today was the first day that you went on an outing in your big boy underwear! Dad took you first to Lowe's. I was at Nana's house and was honestly shocked he did that but he had faith in you! You did great!!

After that you and I went to Walmart! I dared to take you in your big boy underwear too! You were excited about it, it is a big step. The Walmart trip went great!

Then we all went and had lunch! And you used the potty there. You enjoy being a big boy but you won't tell us when you have to go potty. So I am constantly taking you!

After lunch we went to the park, where out good streak ended. But that's ok! One step at a time.

I think I have just gotten up the nerve to take you out in big boys more often. It is part of you learning. So we will do it! What am I waiting for?!

Love you sweet boy!
-Mom
