Surprise, Surprise!

It has been eon's since I posted last. My excuse was Landon's on a mission.
I had to write him a weekly letter so I used that as "my family journal". Isn't that good enough? I have a 2 year history. Well that is now over and I ran out of excuses. Our family has gone through many changes. Landon leaving now home. Macie graduating and moving to Utah, then coming home, than moving up there again, and now coming home again to get ready to go to the Valley in a few months after she saves up some Denero. Brayden has out grown me and is shooting up so tall. He is going to be huge if you look at his feet. They look like a rats foot, very long and skinny. I will have to post a picture, if I can catch him when he's not looking. Jaxten is the little one and drives us all to a point we feel insane. (yes we do love him) most the time.
We have enjoyed having Landon home. It is kind of weird having all our children under one roof again. It's also strange to not pray for Landon's missionary efforts but now have change to praying for all missionaries again. I can't tell you how much his mission has helped our family. We all loved it so much. It really did bless us. I know this because the first week he was home the dryer broke, I was overdrawn in my bank account and the t.v. when on the fritz! I had friends warn me that this would happen. I guess we were blessed that our junk would keep working while he was out. I guess we can look forward to Brayden going in a few years.
I would post lots of pictures of his arrival at the airport if I had any. My camera was turned on by accident for a day and when I pulled it out the battery light was flashing. Maybe some of those that were there will share with me.
We waited for Landon to open our Christmas presents on the 31st of Dec. It was the best Christmas ever! It was weird waiting. I thought maybe it wouldn't feel real but it was even better. I am kind of lazy right now so I will post pictures soon.
All I wanted to really say is "I'm back to the posting world" and I need to work on this so I can created a "fabulous" book for our generations to come will be impressed with there great-great grandmother's
family history skills. Maybe I can fool them!!
