And another year down...

Happy (late) New Year everyone! 2007 was a great year! Our family of two became three and with that came alot of changes, happiness and learning. I don't regret to say that as the new year rang in I was completely unconscious on the couch. Not the most eventful of New Years Eve's, but man, it was a much needed sleep. At midnight, I woke up to a "Happy New Year" kiss from Chris, only to fall right back to sleep. That is, until our neighbors ran around banging pots and pans (honestly...I didn't know that anyone actually did that. Really...I didnt.) One thing I love about the New Year is the feeling of "a fresh start." In the past I have never made many New Years Resolutions, so I decided that this year I would start. I always have little goals or things that I want to work on and the new year gave me a platform to start from. We are only a few weeks in to 2008, but I am feeling optimistic and so far, so good!

Landon is huge. He is so much fun, but he just isn't a baby anymore! He looks like he is two! We got him ready for church on Sunday and he looked so grown up I just had to take some pictures!

It blows me away how much he is constantly growing and learning. His most recent endevor was trying to climb out of his crib (we thought he was napping) only to face plant into his book case. It left him with quite the goose egg, but just in case it didn't scar him the first time, he tried it again the next day. (once again, when he was supposed to be napping) We don't know how he does it because we have his crib matress moved down as far down as it will go. We are going to move the book case however, so that if he attempts it a third time, he will have a bit of a softer landing. He is so fun and always so happy, we just LOVE having him in our lives.
As for Chris, he heard back from a Pharmacy school finally. University of Southern Nevada called him and set up an interview for next Saturday in Las Vegas. If he is accepted, he will be attending the South Jordan campus in the fall, so in that case we wouldn't be moving. We figured that since his interview is on a Saturday, we would all go and make a weekend of it. Some good friends of us are coming along and next Friday we are off! We really hope that he gets accepted, so wish Chris luck on his interview!

So..It isn't just the local yokles here that bang on pots and pans....nice to know, I think? Remind me to tell you about the time BJ tried to pet his fish. I think you'll enjoy all of the adventures you're in store for. As for Chris's interview, good luck, you will be, and always are, in our prayers.

You'll have to start "guilt tripping" Chris on that one. I have told her NUMEROUS times we should make a long weekend trip and come visit. I started telling him we should make a trip and visit back when you lived is St. Louis. Getting that kid to agree to vacations is like pulling teeth, I don't understand it.
