Here is my little redneck in training. I found a video on my computer, which proves how bad a parent I am. I figured I should post it for everyone to see. Landon @ 3 years old shooting a fully automatic machine gun. This was an event of a life time. We were taken out to test some ammunition for an armory company and I couldn't leave Landon behind.



I am going to have to create a post. Melissa has been too busy to do this so here it goes. Delyla is now 4 months old. Here is a picture of her with grandpa.Landon is in kindergarten and loving it. he asks to read books every night. Saxon is in preschool and loves to do his "homework". I think he hears me say I have to do homework so much he thinks now he is in school he is required to do it also.
I will try to figure out what all the other pictures are on our camera and post some more later.

i know i've been a slacker on blogging again but hello, i have a newborn! in addition to the pictures i do have, we went camping over labor day but of course i didn't take the camera! the boys had a lot of fun collecting frogs and salamanders with camden and chandler. we also got to wake up to snow monday morning! so here are some cute painted toes. is this daddy's little girl or what! delyla is smiling all the time now, i love it! she is so sweet. our family is having so much fun with her. she could not be any cuter.
the lindgren family all went to the blufdale rodeo to watch darwin and landon do mutton bustin'. its when you let your sweet inocent child ride a sheep and see how long they last before they fall off! i was a little nervous for landon after i watched the first kid fall off and cry! this is happy landon before the mutton bustin'. during mutton bustin', as you can see he is under the sheep. ya, we all got a good laugh at landon getting run over by a sheep! and here he is after, crying his little heart out! but he and darwin got a sprite and a trophy so it was all smiles after that!

landon needed a family picture for a poster about him for school. so here is our first family picture. landon and ryan hiked to timpanogos cave. both boys not only made it, they were the first ones of the group to get their! good job boys.
delyla found her thumb this weekend. she just might be a thumb sucker like her mom was.
ryan took the boys fishing saturday morning. landon caught five fish! ryan caught zero! poor ryan can't seem to catch a fish to save his life.
we went camping this last weekend with the lindgren side of the family at a timpanogos camp ground. landon and joslyn were not far apart the entire trip. we caught them snuggling while watching nemo in the trailer. i tried to tease them apart but joslyn would not budge. landon just shrugged his shoulders and said " she likes me."
delyla's blessing day party. janet made her beautiful dress.
i finally got a smile on camera. she is too cute! so i've been a slacker on updating my blog. landon started school two weeks ago and is loving it! he has homework every night and surprisingly is not fighting me about it as much as i anticipated! here he is with his new teacher.

making a memory

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, if it is recent or years old, silly or serious--anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Feel like giving up?

I am creating a blog which will remind me why I am going to school. Everytime I have a job in a crap hole "home" I am going to take pictures with my cell phone camera and post them for everyone to see. That way I will have a constant reminder of why I hate my Job and why I am in school. http://reasonstostayinschool.blogspot.com/

aunt brooke got these shirts for the boy, sister for sale 1.00 negotiable. they both love their sister but i think they are mad at me. they both have had a hard time listening since she arrived and saxon has been quite aggressive towards me. so i hope in time this will pass. delyla still has her days and nights mixed up but it is getting better. instead of being up from 2-5 she is up at 5 for the day. so if i can get her to go two more hours in the morning they will all be up at the same time. landon loves to hold his sister and he told me if she wakes up in the night to wake him up because she probably just wants her big brother landon. he also says she is cuter than butterfly's and lady bugs.

i just thought she looked so cute in this outfit i had to take her picture. she is such a sleepy baby, its fun to get her with her eyes open.



delyla and i are having a girls weekend. ryan took the boys camping with his family so i can get some rest. we went to the lindgren 4th of july bbq. it was a lot of fun. darwin loves his new cousin and wanted to hold her any chance he had.

delyla is now 1 week old! she so far is a happy baby. she did not cry in the car the 2 times she has been in it which gives me hope. the boys still think shes great because they have been able to go to cousins houses every day and be spoiled by aunt britt aunt brooke aunt bryn and grandmas! ryan has been an awesome husband and dad. he has done laundry, dishes and bath time for the boys. he also hears delyla when she wakes up in the night and has helped get her back to sleep after her feedings. as you can see she loves her binki! i'm having tons of fun decorating her and loving on her. we are very blessed to have her here, healthy and happy.

DELYLA IS HERE



On June 26th @ 12:42 am Delyla was born. She weighs 7 lbs. 11 oz. and is 20 inches long. She has tons of dark hair.
Everyone says that she will have me wrapped around her little finger. Here is picture proof that the exact opposite is the case.




We had a little scare, the doctors thought they heard something wrong with her heart and had her hooked up to all sorts of sensors, and an IV. Turns out nothing is wrong we just had a very test happy nursing staff and pediatrician for a day and a half. We were unable to even pick her up. Melissa and I had about had it, on Friday evening we hijacked Delyla from the sick baby nursery.



Landon and Saxon were both very excited to see their sister




Melissa is doing well and enjoying here "vacation, (being away from the boys)".
