Jill, Kyle and Ally Visit Scotland

We were so excited my sister and her family came to visit us!! We really enjoyed our time with Jill, Kyle and cousin Ally. They stayed for 7 days so it was a very fast trip but we managed to see a lot of Scotland and even made a trip to London, England! Sunday we went to Crathes Castle,  on Monday we toured the city of Aberdeen and saw the boys school where they enjoyed watching them play football (soccer), Tuesday we took a train to Edinburgh, rode the Hop On Hop off bus, ate at the Hard Rock Cafe in Edinburgh and toured the Edinburgh castle. Wednesday we visited Dunnottar Castle and Stonehaven and ate at the Tolbooth Restaurant where I tried my first seafood pie and mussels. We took them to Ashvale to have some British Fish and Chips. Thursday we visited a few grocery stores and Jon's office here. On Friday and Saturday we toured London. I will include that on my next post. But here are a few pictures from our visit.

Landon turns **5**

I can't believe my baby turns 5 today! Happy Birthday to our sweet, energetic and cute little red head!! Such a blessing, we love you Landon!!

We celebrated his 5th birthday at TGIFridays on Saturday with Uncle Kyle, Aunt Jill and cousin Ally. On Sunday morning we had a birthday party with his friends. His friend Brady Hollis was turning 4 the next day so Landon and him had a Pirate party together at Wynford Playbarn. Aunt Katy and Uncle Clark came to celebrate too! Today (his actual birthday) I brought cupcakes for his class and then we celebrated at home. Chef Ian at the school made cute little cupcakes with "5 pence" chocolate coins on top. He enjoyed all of the wonderful birthday gifts sent from Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles back home. What a great birthday weekend!!
