Landon is three years old now and we had him over for his birthday sleep over. I picked him up in Saratoga Springs and drove up to Papa's work. We checked things out there and then we rode the train (Trax) over to Gateway. Landon really liked the train. We found the food court and ate pizza, pasta and breadsticks until our tummy's were so full we couldn't even move!! We walked around for a while and then went over to Barnes and Noble for Landon to pick out a book for his birthday. It took him quite a long time to decide as there were many books that he liked, but finally he chose one. He put it up on the counter like a big boy and then Papa paid for it. He carried that book all the way to Trax and then to the car and into the house, not letting it out of his sight. When we got home we popped some popcorn, put on our PJ's and watched a new DVD that I bought called "Bolt". He really liked the dog. He said it reminded him of his dog Daisy (although Daisy doesn't talk or have super powers, but Landon has a good imagination!) After the movie it was time for bed. He said his prayers (which was really sweet) and climbed in. I read his new book to him and then we turned off the light. On Kimmy's bedroom ceiling there are stars that shine when you turn out the lights. We talked about the stars and then we had quite a neat conversation--it went something like this: Grammy: "What do you want to do when you grow up Landon?" Landon: "I want to go on a mission like Brett." Grammy: "What will you do on your mission?" Landon: "Teach people about Jesus and then they can be happy too!" Mind you this is a 3 year old and he knows and feels much more than many people do in this world. Anyway, we woke up the next morning (5:45 a.m I hear this little pitter patter of feet and then he climbed in between Papa and I for about 45 minutes) and ate breakfast and did some chores around the house. We wanted to fly a kite but there wasn't any wind in Tooele. We took him home in the early afternoon. We had such a good time with Landon, as we do all of our grandchildren. He is a sweet, sweet little guy!
As usual I have the pictures backwards so this is Landon with his new book.

I love Landon. I think it's so neat that you have a special sleep over. Neat! I want to go on Trax and pick out a book.
Your grandchildren will remember this forever. What a great thing to do. My boys LOVE Bolt. They have watched it about 5 times already. Its fun to see how big they get and how grown up they talk.
I think this is a fabulous thing you do! Your grandkids will treasure this forever. It makes me wish we were close to grandparents to share this kind of time with them.
What a sweet little boy, and so lucky to have such special grandparents. W and I are spending lots of time together these days and have had lots of fun at the hospital waiting for Mom.
Hi Miriam..my girls(especially my little Marly) eat the camera up. She is such a poser and would let someone take pictures of her all day. I feel great. Still coaching and doing my normal activities just a little more tired. 19 more days...can't wait..I think this guy is going to be a big one. We will be up middle of May for a tournament so we will see you then:)
Thanks for having Landon, he had a wonderful time!
What a fun time for ALL of you! I just love little kids at bedtime and prayer time! Annie prayed for her Opa the other night, that he wouldn't eat too much butter.
It was very difficult to maintain reverence after that!
You guys are such wonderful grandparents. Your grandkids are lucky to have you!
