Playing with Skyler, my cousin.


Well, it's official. I am 1! Today is my birthday and Mom and Dad took me out for some Mexican food. I enjoyed some of Dad's taco and some of Mom's rice. Went to daycare like normal since Mom and Dad had to work and took cupcakes to all the kids there. I had a great day too!


My Birthday party was on Saturday, June 30th. My Grandparents all came (Hills and Russells) and my Aunt Traci, Uncle Lee, Great Aunt Cyndi and Bob, Uncle Matt, Uncle Brad, Chase and Skyler too! It was a gorgeous day for a BBQ. My cake wasn't very good. I wasn't at all interested in it.


All in all, I'd have to say this first year has been great and that I have the coolest parents ever. I a HUGE growing boy. My Dr. appt is on Thursday so we'll see how much I weigh at that time.
It's been a GREAT YEAR!!

My FIRST haircut

Just getting started!


What is this lady doing to me??


I am so cute!


Do I LOOK like I am having fun?


ALMOST DONE!!!


Landon had his first haircut last Saturday. He did really well considering he doesn't like being held against his will very much these days. He looks so much older and SO dang handsome too!
Enjoy the pics.

Who falls asleep in a pool??

I DO! And I am proud of it!

Went up to Grandma and Grandpa Hills pool for Father's Day weekend and I got in their pool for the first time ever (outside of Mom's belly of course). I had not napped, so when I got in the pool, I was pretty tired. Probably after about 10-15 minutes, this is what happened.......I literally fell asleep in the floaty...mom, dad, grandpa, my aunt traci, etc. all thought it was the funniest thing! Hey, what can I say.....I was relaxed :)

My CHARLI T-Shirt!

Hi Everyone!

Well, it's been a while since we've last posted on the blog, so here we are! Things have been crazy lately with Mom and Dad BOTH sick with strep throat and then to top it off, I get sick with a fever for about 5 days. Ugh. Everyone is on the mends now.

These pictures are of me in my Charli t-shirt! The back says "A helpful hand for Charli Ann". Charli is my friend in Nebraska who has been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer and Mom got me this shirt not only to support Charli, but to spread awareness to this disease that a lot of people are not familiar with. Charli is now undergoing chemo therapy and is doing quite well!

If you want to read more about this special little girl, please view the link on my page (to the right called "Charli"). She's my age....so Mom says one day we could date :)

Say a prayer for Charli Ann!

Today I swam...

I loved it!!! Mom didn't add much water to the pool ...she didn't want me to drown, she gets too nervous. She used to lifeguard........but I am just extra special I guess :) I hope everyone had a nice weekend the weather here was gorgeous.

Links to home video!!! A MUST see!

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Chillin in my new chair :)

Mom is helping me out here..but I am having fun!

Two of a kind right here.........

Just rollin' around in the grass!

This was at the lake today. What a gorgeous day!

Happy Mothers Day to everyone! Today, we went to the lake and had some nice relaxing family time by the water. Landon really enjoyed it! He is starting to have more and more "tricks" that constantly amaze Eric and I. One day, he sits pretty still and the next, he's off walking on his own with the walker! I have some video of it, I hope I can find a way to get it on here. He's also very mobile...and into everything! Eric and I are getting our exercise, that's for sure. I am off to Baltimore, MD for work on Tuesday so it's going to be some Russell male bonding time here....they will be fine and have fun together as always. I will miss Landon (and Eric too, I suppose) like the dickens. Hope everyone is doing great and tune in to the site again soon as I hope to have some recent videos up and running!!!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!!

WOW, I am just learning so much each day! Two days ago, I had no idea what stairs were and now it's the most fascinating thing in the house! My toys are no longer of interest. I mainly enjoy doors, drawers, handles and stairs! I'm sure my first tumble is right around the corner.

I am SO worn out!

Mom took me on a walk, and this is how I ended up. Aren't I cute (especially when I am sleeping)?

Happy Easter 2007!!!!!

Can you believe it? The Easter Bunny TWICE to see me! We had breakfast at home and then after my nap headed to Grandpa and Grandma Hill's house for lunch. We had a nice time and lunch was really good! As you can see from the pictures, getting group shots did NOT come easy, but it was worth trying. I hope you all had a great Easter!!! Love to you all.

Some Recent Pictures...

The Day of my Ear Surgery

On March 9th, Landon had tubes put in both ears. It's been a blessing so far and it's amazing how he seems as though he's feeling better and hearing better already. He constantly faught ear infections and medication wouldn't even touch the infection so we were advised to go with the tubes. Everything went smoothly and Landon was a little out of sorts that day, but came through with flying colors. After we got home from the hospital, the door bell rang and there stood a man with a balloon and the cutest stuffed frog I had ever seen. As you can tell from the pictures, it was a hit with Landon and made him smile! Thanks to Brenda and Charli (our dear friends in Columbus, NE) for sending this to him.

I love this.

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to Me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you to understand."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked,

"God, if I am To leave now, please tell me my angel's name." God said, "You will simply call her, "Mom."

This shirt says it all (or so Daddy says).....

GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!

Rub a dub DUB!!!!!!! I am in the tub!

As you can see, I love my bath time! I can barely wait to get in and start splashing around!! Mom loves the way I smell after a bath (even though it doesn't stick around long). Dad and I play a lot with these cool bath toys I have too-and I love splashing Daddy!!!!

Where did my pants go?

As you can see, I am missing my pants in this picture but had them on in the other one. Well, Dad attempted to change my diaper and I have became quite the escape artist! I can get away!!
It's my new game....to escape when they try and change me. I just laugh at them :) I have nice thighs though!!!!

Snow Bunny! The Ice and Snow storm-Feb 2007

A few more pictures of me!

Hi Everyone!

Just a few pictures of me to share. This is me in my highchair eating lunch yesterday-I am such a big boy! The other picture Mom took of me in the car...you can see me in my mirror!! We were on our way to Grandma and Grandpa Hill's house to help move my Great Grandma Sheely out of her apartment and into her new condo. This picture is only moments before Mom put us into the ditch! The roads were bad, and Mom wasn't paying attention. Ugh. Hope everyone is doing well!!!! When is Spring coming? I am ready for rides in my wagon that Santa brought me.
