Landon Sings the ABCs!

Well, Landon was very jealous that Logan had a video of him singing the ABCs on here, so he wanted to make one, too! We can only hope that Landon's lisp eventually goes away like Logan's did, too...but it sure is cute when they are young! :) Sorry that the video is so fuzzy...I was only using my digital camera and it doesn't take very good videos.

Happy Birthday Angel Brooke!

Happy 8th Birthday to Angel Brooke today!

An Old Video of Logan Singing ABC's

I think Logan was around 2 years old when we took this video! Oh my, how he has changed! LOL!

Great-Grandma Umscheid, Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Mick all made it to Landon's special program (and of course Mommy and Daddy, too)!

All dressed up and SO excited for his program!

Today was a BIG day for Landon, as it was his first Christmas program (or any "program" for that matter)! Landon is the kind of kid that never used to sing, and if he ever did, he would do it when he thought no one was watching/listening and then get mad when he would find out that we could hear him singing! However, since he started practicing for this Christmas program earlier this month, he's been singing up a storm at home, and even letting us hear him! We love it! Anyhow, he was so excited for this day, although once it actually came time to sing and dance in front of an audience, he had a small case of stage fright! He sang, and he did some of the actions to the songs, but not like he had been showing us at home and how he had been practicing in his classroom with his teachers and classmates. At the end of the program, SANTA came to visit the boys and girls! What a surprise! I even captured a picture of Landon with a look of "Is that who I think it is?" on his face!

We are so proud of Landon for doing such a good job! We can't believe how fast he is growing up and all that he is learning now that he is in preschool!

Grandma Bessie's 80th Birthday Party!

Tonight we celebrated my Grandma Bessie's 80th birthday! We celebrated a few weeks early so all of her kids could get home over the longer weekend of Thanksgiving. She and my grandpa are special people, for sure, and very admired and respected by all of their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many friends! We just celebrated my grandpa's 80th birthday last winter, so we are thankful to have been able to share in this milestone for both of them this year!
