November almost gone!

Hey everyone!! It's been too long. So Thanksgiving was great we went to Karissa and Jared Kam's house (Trent's sister) . It was great because everyone from the Kevin Landon Family was there. It is so great to see so many cousins playing together. Unfortunately we had to leave early to come back because I had to work, but it was still great to stuff our selves with great family. We are blessed! A few weeks ago I had some pictures taken of my cute kiddos--thanks Jen Hill! So I'm posting some of those. Reagan wasn't too happy, but I was pleased with how they turned out. The Holiday season is here and I'm so excited--We are going to get the tree this week--we are deciding between buying or chopping one down ourselves--I'll let you know. Anyway--I am so blessed! I realize more everyday how the Lord is in the details of our lives.

Halloween!

Halloween was fun! Jackson was Captain America, Rees was an elephant, and Reagan was a carebear. We went to Idaho Falls on Friday night and Saturday Night. Friday we went to Snake River Landing for a huge trick or treat put on by different businesses. They must have had 75 RV's there and different businesses handing out candy. After , we went to eat even more sugar--Ice Cream and then let the kids play on the inflatable toys at TSR. Saturday we went to Jen and Barrett's House for a fun party and more Trick or treating----my kids have been on a sugar high for two days now!!---- Jen had made some fun Halloween food!! It was great and the kids love playing together. We definitely had a happy Halloween!

Trent decided to take a few days off--so we planned a mini-vacation to a place we rarely go--Utah--HA HA HA. We had big plans to hit a few museums, do a day camping, and just enjoy being together. Well we hit Utah Thursday afternoon and made it for part of my sisters soccer game--they lost, but she's great!! On the ride down Jackson looked like the living dead and I ended up holding him while he slept for most of the ride down. He was fevered and sick. He threw-up at the soccer game and that was the beginning of the weekend. Rees and Reagan both ended up fevering, but Rees was the only other one to throw-up. So our vacation wasn't exactly as planned, but we've had fun, ate well, and did go to the Treehouse Museum, the kids had a ball and I of course forgot the camera!!! We are headed back tomorrow, but it's still been fun to stay with my family. I had mom take a few family pictures hoping to eventually catch everyone smiling, they turned out cute, my kids still never cooperate--but they were good sports about it. Back to real life tomorrow!

Three Kids in the tub--rub a dub dub! Grandma Rees has a jetted tub and when it's filled with kids and bubble bath their is lots of fun!

some family pictures

My Sister-in-law Misha took some family pictures for us---my family was not very cooperative--she did a fantastic for not having a very happy crowd. Why is it when you try to get family picts the kiddos get ornery!! Thanks again Misha!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

The ingredients for a cool party:

Water Slide
Food
Kids
FUN

We decided to have a water party for Jackson's Birthday!! Luckily, I have the coolest in-laws that chose to buy the huge blow-up water slide for their grandkids. So I get to benefit from their awesome purchase. We basically tried to keep it low-key and just invited the neighborhood kids and cousins. It was perfect. Jackson and friends had a great time. I can't believe I have a 5 year old. Jackson we love you. He has such a sweet personality and can always bring a smile to our faces. We are so glad he is part of our family.

Ross Park Fun!

We went to Ross Park in Pocatello this week for Play Group. The kids had a blast. My little Reagan would walk in the water up to her waste then tip over and not be able to stand up because her head was underwater. So I really didn't get to lounge around as much as I would like because I had to save my little 10 month old from drowning. She is such a busy body. Jackson and Rees are such water bugs and they had so much fun on the splash pad and lazy river. We are definitely going next year. It was also fun talking with the ladies from the ward. I have a great ward!

This is going to be an on-going blog entry!! my computer is acting up and with my husband being gone my computer time is always with at least one child on my lap!!


Boston pictures finally!! My computer is dumb, so it has taken too long to post these!! Boston was amazing! We had such a great time and it was so rejuvenating in so many ways! How this whole adventure started was when my dear friend Esther Hopkin decided it was about high time we stopped talking about going to see her and actually do something about it. So we found some tickets and Connie Barnes and I decided to go see our best friend in Boston!! It had been 7 years since we had really spent some quality time together. We have been best friends since the fourth grade--so it was definitely time for a re-awaking of our friendship! Esther was the most gracious of hostesses and we seriously had the funnest time. Sleep was definitely not a priority since we stayed up laughing and watching movies until way late each night-- no regrets, every laugh was worth it!! Boston was an amazing city and we really enjoyed the historical value as well as Boston culture. We ate so well-- I have officially tried Lebanese, Thai, and Mikes Pastries: let me just say one word Canoli!! Thank You Esther!! So here are a few pictures

Boston Temple

Finnish Sauna: It was the best, first we go and sit in this room that is like 21o degrees and "cleanse our bodies" or basically sweat our guts out--then we would go jump in a lake. It was a blast!
These are the steps of Harvard UniversityRed Sox Game!! Awesome. They won! We didn't even get beer spilled on us!This is Esthers room, we squished into this bed at night time. It was so fun to stay up laughing and watching movies like we were 16 again.Altantic OceanWe got pedicures--My first professional one, it was great!This the USS Constitution, "Old Iron Sides" Still commission by the US Navy

Busy Fun Summer Day!

Summer days are fun. I worked Monday night and since Trent was at Scout camp, my wonderful mother-in-law watched the kiddos. So I went there after work and slept for an hour or so then we went to the free movie at Edwards theatre. Then we went to Mcdonalds for lunch. After, we went to Inis's for a quick nap, then decided to go to Gem lake and play. After that we went to Ariells for hotdogs and watermellon. We didn't get home until 8:30p.m. So we packed our day with some great fun!! I'll post some pictures, I just need to download them. I'm so glad we have such a fun family to do things with!!

Fun weekend!

Back from Morgan again--We have been there a lot lately, it has been fun. We are definitely using Grandma's swimming pool a lot. I was also able to play in a softball tournament with my extended Rees family. It was fun. We even went up on the range Saturday night to cook a hotdog and marshmallow--it was fun. We didn't get back until like 2:00am last night--but it was well worth it. The best surprise of the weekend came on Friday night. Trent had been in Boise from Mon-Thurs, then went fishing with his Dad on Friday. Anyway, I decided to stay in Utah on Friday night because our plummer had made it sound like he would actually be WORKING on my house Friday night--so I stayed down. Well Trent drove down late that night and surprised me at 1:00am!!! It was the best surprise!! We hadn't seen each other for almost a week!! Anyway, we had a great weekend and enjoyed spending time with my family. P.S--my plummer is on my hit list for the day--plumming still not done--it has been a month--I'm a pretty nice person, but he will be getting called tomorrow!

fixing up our house!

So we are in the midst of redoing our plumbing--but wait there's more---when you doing the plumbing you need to get a new vanity, a new toilet, and while your at it you might as well tile the floor!! Anyway we have got ourselves in a whole lot of mess--I'll have to take pictures!! Anyway--it will be great when it is done!!

wedding

Jamison and Larissa we married in the Logan Temple on June 12th. It had been a very rainy week, but the wedding was great. We were really blessed to have a day with good weather. My parents yard looked amazing and the wedding ceremony and reception went well. It was a crazy week filled with a bridal shower for Larissa, the wedding, and a baby shower for Misha. We definitely were partied out! Everything went well for all of the above. It was so great to be with family!! Larissa we are very excited ofr you to be part of our family!!

bloggin at midnight!

Busy day!! So my tub wasn't draining too well last week and I plunged it. Fixed the problem--I thought, until I went downstairs and found my bathroom flooded and going into the next room!! So the plumber came and too make a long story short, he fixed it, but we are replacing all our plumbing this weekend---So therefore I've been trying to paint my bathroom vanity for the upstairs--(my Aunt's new hubby--Ross gave us his old one he tore out--I was pumped) So I think it looks pretty good--I'll post a picture when it gets in. So after I finished that this morning, the rest of the day was spent cleaning and trying to get organized. I'm supposed to be leaving to Utah tomorrow until Sunday!! Unfortunalely, I'm working tonight!! But it's slow, so I've caught up on all my paperwork and taking a few minutes to blog. My cute family even came in to visit--my husband is so great!

This past weekend was busy as well. We had our Landon Family reunion at Lava Hot Springs. Trent wasn't there because he was at a Leadership training in Seattle for work. But the reunion was fun. The weather was pretty rainy, but we still were able to go to the hot pools. So we camped out Thursday, played all day Friday, then I picked Trent up that night. Saturday we spent most of the day on the road to Twin to watch my niece get baptised. It was nice to see them again. I wish I had taken pictures of their pig--It is ginormous!! It seriously could be a horse!! Anyway, it has been a been a crazy few weeks, but it won't be slowing down. Jamison gets married on FRIDAY-we are so excited for them. Anyway, I better get going--I'm supposed to be working. See ya later.

Rees

The many Faces of Rees Landon. She is most definitely made of sugar and spice!! We love you Rees!
