All I Want for Christmas...


We went and saw Santa...Landin was great, although the picture doesn't show it and Ashlynn slept through the whole thing. Oh well, it was great anyway.

On The Road Again...

It was a little scary at first, but we escaped Seattle just before the worst of the weather hit. I recently learned that there is nearly 2ft of snow...luckily when we left there was only about 6 inches. It was a long trip...46 hours to be exact, but it's over and we all made it to Texas safely. We're getting settled in and Landin is loving being able to play outside in the middle of winter. The high for today was 81. Yep....81 degrees!!! Go Texas! Anyhow, here is what we left behind in Seattle...it will be missed while we're away, but if things pan out like we expect them to, we'll be back in a year.









In case you couldn't tell, the middle picture is a tiny snowman that someone had built on the dividing wall of I-5 in Seattle...I guess someone got stuck and decided to make the most of their time!

Family Portraits 2008


We FINALLY had some family portraits done this year. It's been a while since we've had them done, but we did it! They turned out great. Ashlynn is adorable (if I do say so myself) and Landin is so photogenic! Check out these few for yourself, and you can view the rest at the web link below. Use Emily Joiner as the customer name...Enjoy!

Daddy's Girl


We were just taking random pictures and I thought that this one was too cute not to share!

And The Winner Is...


Landin has had a habit of fighting sleep since he was an infant and that is still the case today. I posted earlier that Landin has gotten onto a really cooky schedule and so I've been trying to get him back onto a normal one. I was able to do it, for a day, but then we got off track again. Well, today I tried to put him down for a nap at a normal time and he wasn't ready. I tried again an hour later, still no luck. Then, he came into Ashlynn's room where I was and said he wanted to sit in the rocking chair and I agreed. He made it half-way up the chair and fell asleep...now why couldn't he have done that in his room? Oh well...it makes for a pretty adorable picture!

Sleepy Baby Boy

So, we are on a really odd schedule. Landin has started taking naps really late in the afternoon because we are up so late with Ashlynn. Well, today was an attempt to try and get him back onto a normal schedule, however it didn't work out the way I was hoping it would. I was trying to keep him up all day (even through his worst crabby moments) and let him go to bed at a normal decent time to get him back on a real schedule...this is how it turned out (not how I was hoping it would).
I walked into the other room to start making a bottle for little girl, and when I came back, this is what I found!

Yummy Breakfast


Landin is such a good helper, especially when it has something to do with cooking. He loves to help mix and stir. He has helped make cookies, muffins, and brownies at "school", and now he has helped me make blueberry pancakes. He did so good stirring...we'll see if he grows up to be a chef!
