Sigh, October is almost over and I have mixed feelings about it. First I am glad! That means Landon's birthday will be here and so will his baptism! Then New Moon comes out and Joe's birthday, Thanksgiving and on to Christmas time. But if October ends, then Landon grows up! I can't believe my oldest is going to be baptized. He is so intellegent and ready for it, but I am not so sure I am ready for this new step. With baptism come cubscouts. Then before we know it he will be all grown up. Am I old enough for all this? Yep!
I am so happy that Landon has made the decision to be baptized. He was so excited to have his Bishop's interview he could barely get his church clothes on! He told me he needed to wear a tie and then turned to Joe and said he needed Dad's best tie! So we put a tie on him and he wore his white shirt and a nice vest. He was pleased as punch when he was all ready. It was so cute and so fun. I stayed home to put Ian to bed and Dad and Matt went with Landon. I guess it went well since Landon was still in a good mood when he came home. I should have taken a picture of it, but I always forget to until the next day and it's too late.
We have had some good weather lately and the kids have been outside as much as they can. Matt's favorite past-time is to make mud puddles in the back yard. We still don't have grass back there, so it's not like he is is ruining anything. The only down side to this is the mess that comes along with it. Ian thinks the mess is great! He goes out and get's all muddy and then crawls back in the house and sprinkles mud and dirt behind him. It is AWESOME! I did think to get a picture of this ...
Doesn't he look just as happy as can be? It's so hard to get upset about the mess when you see them looking so happy and content. He would be out there doing this all day everyday if I let him. If everyday was warm I probably would let him.
Life is good and moving fast. I hope it's as well for everyone else. Happy day!
