Rubber Duckie

Rubber Duckie you're the one. Rubber duckie you making biting so much fun. Landon got his duckie in his mouth, scrunched up his face, bit it's little butt and made piggy sounds. LOL

Tribute to my Dad

Ok so here is a scrapbook page I did for my sis for her birthday. Well.......I have decided to keep this one and make her another one. It is not quite finished yet . The blue border is just my work surfce. I still need to sew the picture on and rip up all around the paper and then do a final matting on my card stock. It has been 5 yrs since my Dad passed and I still miss him terribly. Didn't he look kinda like Elvis when he was young?

Thoughts for the day

Here are a few ramblings from me
1) Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil. It has no point.
2) If it has prettier hair than you do and it is in the back of the fridge..THROW IT AWAY!
3) Grand kids are the best.
4) Chocolate is a food group. It comes from a bean....
5) Tofu no matter how you fix it is still gross.
6) Your kids may break your heart at times but more often than not they make it beat.
7) College is expensive!!!!!
8) No matter how you raise your kids, how much you talk yourself blue in the face, they make their own choices in the end.
9) When you have kids....The days may seem long but the years are short.
10) The new Blackbery Curve Smart Phone is not so smart.

Lacee & Landon.

Here we go.......

I was inspired to make a blog page after seeing all my niece's wonderful pages. I have to say it is so nice to be able to see how the kids are growing. Doug and I do not get around to see the family as much as we should. So seeing the pics of all the great nieces and nephews is a nice treat for us. And of course all of them are gorgeous kids-----after all they are Hales!
With that being said. I am officially welcoming you into our life with Landon.
Landon is my first grandchild and if Lacee stays true to her word as I did, he will be my only one. So I pray for her to have a desire for more kids as I want more grand babies to love and spoil.
Now to Landon.........He is a big boy! He was born big. He weighed 8 lbs 13 oz. and was 21 inches long. He was born on Dec. 9, 2007. He came on his due date and it is said that less than 2% of babies make it on the actual due date. So we of course thought that was pretty cool. Today he weighs in at 19 lbs. 4 oz. and is 28 in. long.
A few Landon facts. He must sleep swaddled every night and for every nap or he is not going to sleep. He does not like most fruit ( niether did his mommy). Lately Grampa seems to be his favourite person to watch. Landon smiles all the time except when he sees the camera or camcorder. We have to sneak up on him to take movies and pictures. His middle name is Pierce. I love his name. Landon is terrified of his exersaucer. I don't know why but he is. It started out that we could sit him in it and then he would look at the toys and scream. Now all we have to do is get his feet near the seat and he screams like he has been beat. Poor baby. So this now poses a problem as he is too big for his bouncer, his swing, and to leave him alone on the floor for any amount of time is not good. He is quick! We do have a play pen for him but he looks like a little prisoner in it. I call it the baby jail. Good thing he likes his high chair.
More later............

Mommy took this while playing around with her new phone and it is one of our favourite pics of Landon. 6-08
