The House and the New Roof... for those who care Namely ED CLEAVER!!!

Before-with the old roof. The lovely gray shingles that we grew to hate...
Now the new Roof... Not much different to look at in the photo but a world of improvement! Darker with some flecks of color that work well with the stone veneer...
A little closer....
Our heavenly back door... not that great honestly but this is what it used to look like....
YIKES!!!! Pretty terrible, huh?

I Hope that you enjoyed the photos Grandpa... And sorry it took so long to get them out to you!

Long Time No See...

We went to a former classmate's wedding a week ago and caught up with some old friends and at a little food whilst Landon spilled punch! Oops!!! What's new? He was actually on his best behavior though. He says that, "You can't be mad at this face!!!"

Ummmm... and look at the cake!!!!

I am not sure what the bubs thinks about being a big brother yet but, he seems to be enjoying living in the mud, no wait, I mean living in the moment!!!

Red River Rover Campout!!!

I went camping over father's day weekend with my old roommate Josh Harp. We had fun although we kept getting harrassed by some late night campers that showed up at our camp site twice within 15 minutes. We had a total of 3 visits to our site within the time we were there. Anyway, we found a great site by a tributary that we could drive the rover to. way off the main road and way cool for the night!!! No fish were to be caught on saturday though. that was a little bit of a let down... oh well!

Sleepy Time!

LANDON IS 9 MONTHS TODAY!!!

My is he getting old. It seems forever ago that christina kept making me feel her tummy worried that I would get to bond enough with Landon before he was born. Yeah, I didn't get into that like she did!!!

Landon has been a blast though ever since. He can crawl, climb, pull up to a stand, get in trouble and even learned how to clear a step this past weekend. Not to mention he is a bulldozer coming across the room!!! Stay out of his way or he will plow you down! the little bruiser!

Memorial Weekend Madness!!!

This is second time I have had to write this post...the first disappeared out of the blue. :( Anyway, this was an excitment packed weekend for many! Landon had an awesome weekend for him but a scarey one for us! On saturday he crawled officially for the first time!!! What a crazy kid! He was going straight for the car keys!!! what a surprise... wait 'til he is 16! Whew! He also spent the weekend pulling up on things and chowing down on some of his great grandmother's biscuits and on some frozen custard! Yummy! Here he is eating some of grandma perkins' custard on my parent's 30th wedding anniversary! That is amazing. 30 YEARS! That's a long time!!!


YUM!
I think landon was happy feeding himself... like he does with his bottles now (this was new too at the end of last week!

Landon was sick with a case of the teeth!!!

These photos from my phone are a little old but they are sure cute. Landon stayed home from daycare couple fridays back and Dad stayed with him. We woke up and then layed on a sheet on the living room floor for a good part of the morning. However, I took the opportunity to post some pictures of Landon on this blog. Enjoy!
