5 Years ago

5 years ago Chad and I became parents. We headed to the Utah Valley hospital on February 14th, 2004 because I felt like my water might have broken. It hadn't but they said they could tell I was having contractions. Landon wasn't due until the 23rd. They kept me there to monitor my blood pressure and we spent our Valentine's Date in the hospital. After 2 hours they sent us home and told us we would probably be coming back in the morning. I started feeling contractions at 3:00 am. Woke Chad up about 6:00 and we headed to the hospital around 7:30. I labored through the day and Landon was born after a half hour of pushing at 4:52 in the afternoon. We were overjoyed to have him and still are. Landon's 1st Birthday Landon 2 years old Landon's 3rd birthday Landon's 4th birthday. "Four year olds can climb trees!" Landon exclaimed on his birthday because it just happened to be the first day he climbed a tree. And no, we don't require him to wear a helmet when he climbs trees. He just happened to be wearing it because he got a bike for his birthday. Landon 5 years old Landon's 5 best qualities 1. Sensitive 2. Intelligent 3. Loving 4. Leader 5.

Man, I love that little boy! I love the helmet in the tree picture... and I love your comment about that even more! That would be hilarious if you made him wear a helmet for other random activities. Too funny!

Wow, I can't believe you have a 5-year old, Michelle! Seems like just yesterday we were partying at good ole Allred Apartments. :) Landon is a handsome little guy!
