The Swing set

Last year Rodney sold our swing set.  It was old and leaning a little, and we didn't really feel safe having our kids on it let alone any neighbors that would come over.

This was when we first moved in.

When they were taking it away Landon was surprisingly not sad, he just told his dad that he wanted a yellow slide anyway.  I have to say I was a little heart broken.  So I set out on a mission to find the perfectly priced swing set on KSL.  It took some time but I found it.  I re-stained it, and of course Rodney turned it into a project.  We moved it into the garden, so branches needed to be cut, a short wall was made to go around it, we added gravel, and Rodney made a new roof.  But here it is in all it's glory.

He didn't get a yellow slide, but I think he likes it.

Lincoln's Birthday

My baby is one!! I can't believe it went by so quickly.  I'm not sure I'm ready for him to be so big so fast. 

For his birthday we decided to decorate his cake like Henry Hugglemoster from Disney Jr.  He loves this show, when it comes on he stops everything he is doing to watch it.  I ended up making him a cake to destroy and the rest of us would eat cupcakes. 

 These would not be ordinary cupcakes, oh no.  I had to make them from scratch.  The cake and the cupcakes turned out great, thanks to Landon for helping me bake and decorate the cupcakes, and my mom for helping decorate the cake.

What would a Birthday be without some presents.

And of course the all important cake eating/destroying.

Happy Birthday, my little monster!
