UP CLOSE WITH LANDON






The same thing happened with Laurel and Savannah. I get a panic feeeling everytime my babies turn one. The feeling that I might forget their squishy, adorable, drooling, little bodies. I know great and new experiences come as they grow and get older, but there is nothing better than a soft, doughy, baby!

Back To May



My mom, two sisters and I met in Las Vegas for a long girl's weekend over Memorial weekend! I will have to admit I broke down a little at the airport. I was a little anxious and nervous over leaving my sweet Landon. I knew Laurel and Savannah would be okay but my little baby had never been without his mommy.

It was such a relaxing vacation. I felt like the night lasted forever. Since Las Vegas is two hours behind Alabama time, I would wake up at 4:30 and realize how much time I still had left to sleep. We spent time laying out by the pool. I got to actually turn over on my stomach and not have to fear a child was drowning. We ate good food, and I will never disclose the amount one meal costs me!
We saw Donny and Marie! They were excellent and I really want Marie's legs!! Donny is still just as cute as he was when I had a crush on him back in the day.

We watched Mama Mia and I guess I was living under a rock when this movie came out, because I had never seen it. I really need to get out with girlfriends more. But it was so much fun watching it with my sisters and my mom. I really just wanted to go to that island and sing and dance! I mean, I probably would not sound any worse or look any more painful than Pierce Bronson, right?

Oh, it was so much fun but I was ready to get home to my sweet family. Landon survived and didn't even come close to giving me the homecoming I was expecting. Laurel and Savannah, on the other hand, jumped up and down and tackled me! Then Laurel told me, "you are being a sweet mommy!" So I guess the vacation did me some good!

I think we should make it a yearly tradition! Thanks to my sweet mother-in-law for coming to help with the children. Thanks to my sweet sister-in-law for bringing over gatorade to Seth, who got violently ill the first night I left. And a BIG thanks to my sister Audra for providing the time share in Las Vegas!

An extra Special Father's Day





A year ago on Father's Day weekend, we welcomed our sweet Landon into the world. What a fun year it has been! He loves his mommy, but he loves his daddy even more. There is an undeniable bond between the two. There was not only one proud dad that day, but there was one proud papa! Landon was the first "Clayton grandson!" So now that Clayton name will be carried on.

Happy Birthday Landon and Happy Father's Day Seth!
