Birthday Boy

Landen had a couple of fun days to celebrate his birthday. The pictures are out of order, but on Wednesday (his actual birthday), we had a little "family" time and opened presents then went to see Toy Story 3 (such a funny movie and Landen loved it!). He was spoiled rotten by his family (thanks so much by the way fam!). We had his actual birthday party on Friday (today) and had about 7 kids running around the house and yard having a good time. Ate lots of good food and had some cake and ice cream. Enjoy the pics (I'm tired!)

One of Landen's favorite toys he opened on his birthday.

Kid Time

Landen had so much fun with his cousins while we were down in Utah! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of him playing with Autumn and Aiden, but here's some from him playing with his "Rosenlund" cousins.

Landen loved wrestling with his cousin Abe...he was such a good sport in letting Landen tackle him climb all over him (sitting on his conquest above)

Mountain Home

Another one of our adventures while down in Utah was going to my grandpa's house in Mountain Home. It was so nice just hanging out with family, riding 4-wheelers, making tin-foil dinners and roasted marshmallows. All the fun things of camping, but having the comforts of running water, beds and electricity...my kind of camping ;). Here's a few pictures of the good times:

Dress Shopping

We were down in Utah for a week to have one last hoorah before school starts up again and had a blast with lots of family (more posts to come). One adventure was going dress shopping with my mom and Katie. She looked awesome in all the dresses she tried on, but we finally found the one (didn't post it). So here's a sampling:

This one was her favorite at this store, but it wasn't as beautiful as the one she ordered.
Not a fan of the broach (sp?)

She decided she loves the bolero jackets

Tried it with a little color

Same dress, but without the purple sash (one of my favorites)

Loved the lace, but not so much the style!
