Say "Cheese"!

Full face shots of Landon...nearly impossible to capture! Armed with my camera on my hip, while shopping and dinner at Kierland, I caught a perfect image on our boy! This photo speaks volumes of his adorable essence.

Carrying the new stuffed puppy and lollipop we purchased at Peek....
The sales girls at Peek were completely smitten with him! How can you not be? His laughter and playfulness is contagious!


A rare family photo op!!

Home Depot

The first Saturday of the month we have been heading over to Home Depot for the kids building expo. Our lil' man has such a great time, engulfing himself in tools, wood, nails, and glue. He loves his handmade projects and showing them off at home!


Dad's got this all figured out!


Trying to make sense of these directions! I didn't take wood shop in school!


Landon stays so focused on getting his project done!






His masterpiece!! The buckets and buckets of glue were Landon's finishing touch on his football holder!

Teppanyaki!

Friday night out....teppanyaki with our friends, Clint and Lindsey and Landon's BFF, Carson!

Carson's not too stoked about all the flames!

BFF's! These boys are so cute together. They have similar dispositions....both so sweet and kind!

Lando participating in a magic act!

Love You Forever!

Bedtime routine consists of reading 2-3 books before our boy hit his peaceful slumber. Landon picked out Love You Forever, handed it over to me to read, and I knew I was in trouble. I can't get through that book without crying.....it gets me every time. I dove into reading, determined to stay dry eyed, but just near the end, it hit me like a ton on bricks. I couldn't finish it, I handed the book over to Scot, with a "You do it", as I cradled my sweet baby. Landon listened to each page so intently and as the story ended, he asked me to rock him. Ohhhh, my sweet boy still needs his Mama! I was so thrilled with him wanting to be rocked, of course, the tears started again. Scot snuck out and snagged the photo op!

2 1/2!!!

Where has the time gone? Landon is quickly apporaching 3 years old, and not a day goes by that I am not impressed with his intelligence, kindness, and sense of humor. He has grown so quickly and into such an amzing boy! We're absolutely head over heels for our Lil' Man!!

Here's Landon's Top Ten this week:

10. Singing along to Taio Cruz (Dynamite and Break Your Heart)

9. Vaccuums

8. "I need this!"

7. "Nope"

6. Starbucks

5. Fireturcks, firemen, and ambulances

4. Shi Shi, his much loved dog

3. His BFF, Carson

2. Papa's tools

1. Rope, strings, hoses...anything that he can strung around the house for magical make-believe!!

Going, going, gone fishin'....

Our leisure Saturday, started with breakfast with Grandma and Papa, at Lando's fav.....the DV airport. Our boy loves to stare and watch the airplanes take off, land, and taxi on the runway. We have to drag him back to the car!!!

A quick trip to grab some fishing equipment and we are off to Lynx Lake in Prescott for an afternoon of fishing! Yep, I will be the first to admit, the Z's are the least outdoorsy family. However, the weather was beautiful, the scenery wonderful, and a family trip outside was just what we needed. No, we didn't catch anything, other than the bug to do it again soon!!!
