Landon is now 8! I seriously cried when he was 5 days old. Thinking how long those 9 months felt, and then BAM he was here and already 5 days old! Now, I am crying thinking how fast and how great these last 8 years have been! He had a fabulous day on his actual birthday, with school, and then dinner at Tucanos with his greatest friends! Pama made him a cake and we had just a little celebration at her house.
Then Saturday April 9, 2011 was here, and this young man chose to be baptized! What an amazing experience! The program was wonderful! He got to share his baptism with his friend Branson Saunders. Branson's older brother gave the opening prayer and prayed that all the bad things Landon & Branson had done would be washed away! It was so sweet! We all chuckled a bit! Then Alex gave an amazing talk on Baptism and what an example Landon is to everyone. He has such a great personality and is so kind to everyone! I cried, as Alex did a GREAT job and said some really sweet things about his buddy Lando! Then Landon and Branson sang "I Am A Child of God!" Wow, how cute was that!? Then the baptism! Such a big thing for Landon and John! John's first baptism ever, & how lucky for it to be Landon. Both were nervous but they did great! Landon got dunked twice, as his hand didn't go under the 1st time! Uncle Matt & Uncle Sam were the witnesses. A great talk was then given by Braden Saunders about the Holy Ghost, and how is our comforter. Just like a warm blanket, the Holy Ghost gives us that warm feeling. Then John, Bishop Saunders, and Brother Pace confirmed him! We of course celebrated after at the Rock Church with warm soup, as it was raining outside, ok snowing! So many family and friends came to support you, and are so proud of you. What an absolutely AMAZING day!
Landon, WE are so proud of you! You are such a great kid! You are smart, loving, caring, responsible, upbeat, and all around wonderful boy! You have such a great attitude towards life. You always make the best of things, and know just how to make us smile! You are a true light in our lives! We don't know what we would do without you. Keep up the good work! Keep smiling, laughing, and being YOU! HUGS & KISSES! LOVE Mom, Dad, Logan, & Skylee

Isn't it amazing how time flies! And it just doesn't seem to slow down ever. I love baptisms!!! I am glad you had such a wonderful day! What a handsome little man!
congrats to Landon. I'm glad John was around to be able to baptize Landon!! Glad things went well.
We love Landon, and feel so lucky to have such a kind hearted cousin like him. One, who doesn't stand for other cousins taking away a sweet treat from another cousin. He's the best! :)
