Our cute kids!

Brielle loves dressing up her "sidekick" for all her adventures.



She even made me be Waldo

Happy Landon!


Landon is just about 4 months old now. He has become the happiest baby once he hit the 3 mos mark. It has been a big sigh of relief! Fussy babies are no fun! He has found his voice and can screech really loud but as long as he is involved and sitting right with everyone else, he is content.

End of the Harvest

I didn't get to do much canning this year, but my sister & I were able to do some applesauce & pie filling. It was our first time doing apples, but they turned out so yummy! I made these little gift tags to give with our bounty to the neighbors that let me take their apples. 

First Snow Day!


All Smiles Here!

Happy Halloween!

Jack-o-Lantern pancakes!

Our first family photo-Yikes! I can't really tell you what Jeremy is, just some scary biker dude with his (fake-thankfully!) belly hanging out. I am a leopard. Brielle is Juliet from Gnomeo and Juliet & Landon is Superman. What an assorted bunch! We were at the Turcsanski's annual Halloween Family party & yes we are part of the family now.

Sweet Juliet

Brielle put my ears on Landon while I made breakfast. He wasn't sure what to think!
We weren't planning on dressing up this year, but somehow the halloween bug bites us just in time. We love Halloween and dressing up! It is now Brielle's favorite holiday!

Landon's Blessing

We couldn't have picked a more perfect day to have Landon's Blessing. It was perfect weather and most of our family was all there. We held it at our ward on October 16th, not fast Sunday and we had great speakers (The Hoskin's family) who were just sealed in the temple. It was a great meeting! After sacrament we had lunch of soups & salads at our home. Kids played and adults visited. There was a low-key, relaxed feeling all day and it was again, perfect!


All of Jeremy's siblings were there for the blessing and it was nice to see them all together for a picture!

Landon Update

I know it has been some tme since I posted last. I guess that is just how it goes now. But I wanted to post some updated pictures of Landon since he has been home. He started out as a fussy baby but is now smiling and liking life a little better. We are liking life better now too.

Brielle can't get enough of her little brother too. I am constantly reminding her to be soft and to not smother him. She gets so excited just to touch him, but she does well at holding it in.

Our happy sleeping boy!

This was the first day of winter...not really -it just felt like it. We hadn't turned our heater on yet so I bundled him up. He wasn't so sure about the hat.


This is Jeremy Junior. Everyone can't believe how much he looks just like his daddy!

Kind of a funny face, but he was cooing when I took this picture. I love this stage when they start to "talk" and make their first little noises.

I bought this hat for Brielle before she was born, but her head didn't get big enough to fit into it until summer. He looks so cute in it, but he didn't like the neck strap too much.

Another cute sort of a smile!
I took Landon to his 2 month appointment today. He is now 13 lbs and 8 oz. and 24 1/2 inches long. the doctor commented on his nice skin, just like his sister. I guess most babies in UT don't get the nice skin since it is so dry here. He said he is growing very well and is very healthy. Yahoo!!

Welcome Baby!

Well it has been over a week now since our little man was born and I am sorry for the delay, but life for a new mom of two I have learned is a little busy. Last Wednesday morning (5:30am to be exact) we arrived at Riverton Hospital to get prepped and ready for my c-section. We were very excited but with lots of anxiety due to our previous c-section delivery with Brielle. Lets just say it was a "worse case scenerio" never to hopefully be repeated again.
 After some waiting we went into the OR around 7:45am and at 8am (on the dot) 

Landon Max Stilson was born. A 15 minute delivery is definitely the pros to a c-section!
 Our little man weighed 8lbs, 11 oz & is 19 1/2 inches long. And now you know why I waddled the way I did and my pelvis hurt like no other! He was quite the big boy!
 Look at my cute family!
My parents brought Brielle a little later and she could hardly contain her excitement! She can't get enough of her little baby brother.

 Can you tell she is in love?
 Aunt Kim came to visit us too!

 Going home day!! Landon and I were both tired of being in the hospital so we headed home a day early. His cute monkey hat was just a bit snug, so it came off shortly after pictures.
 Today we gave Landon his first bath. He felt so comfy that he pooped here...
 And here!
We were quickly initiated and learned our lesson. I have been learning quite a lot and fast about little boys. They are so tricky! He has also learned how to keep me, and me alone up all night. He has started making a grunting noise shorlty after being fed and getting comfy in his cradle and doesn't stop until morning. He does not cry to let me know when he is hungry at night. So I have to guess by his grunting and sometimes it has only been 15 minutes from his last feeding! & since I am exhausted I don't notice if I have been asleep for 15 min or a couple hours. So it is lots of getting up and down all night long!! I finally decided it is time to move him to his own room so I can get some sleep. If he is truely hungry he will cry out and let me know. The first two nights he was home I only had to get up twice to nurse, so I know he can make it longer.
