Leyton Meets more people!

One of my good friends, Molly, came down a few weeks ago.  It was her first time meeting Leyton and we really enjoyed her visit!

Then Leyton was able to meet my childhood friend Amy and her son Easton.  Easton was born 4 weeks after Leyton. 

We made another trip home a couple weeks ago and Leyton was able to see his Great Grandpa Lee again!  The last time we visited, Great Grandpa wasn't feeling well.  This time he was much better and very talkative!  He even asked to hold Leyton a second time, and enjoyed watching Leyton kick his legs and coo. 

We even got a 4 generation picture!

While in town we stopped by to see my friend Shelley and her mom, and sister.  We took another picture of our children together ( this time we were able to get Amelia in the shot!)

 

 

Last but not least, we went out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Acapulcos, and met up with my friends Jessica and Liz.

It was a great trip home and we wish we could visit our friends more often!  Until next time!

Maternity/Newborn/Family Photo Shoot

Awhile ago I posted a few sneek peeks of my maternity photos and Leyton's newborn photos.  This past week I finally received the CD so I am posting a few of may favorites that I didn't already share.  We are so lucky to have such an amazing photographer in the family!

This next one is my absolute FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Andrea for the amazing photos!

Lisa/Shelley Visit

One of my good friends came to visit this past weekend to meet Leyton.  While her family was down we took them to State Street.  We had told her about this pizza place( Ian's Pizza) where they have crazy toppings- macaroni and cheese, cheesy potatoe, BBQ with chicken and ranch (my favorite) chicken alfredo etc- so she wanted to try it out.  

Here is a macaroni and cheese pizza and a lasagna pizza that I on found online.  These are examples that you could order from Ian's Pizza.  Best pizza ever!  My first time ordering there I asked for a slice of cheese.  They laughed at me because they don't make plain pizza like that.

Aftfer dinner, we continued our walk down State Street going into shops.  We walked all the way to the end and decided to get family pictures at the capitol.

The next day our other good friend, Shelley, came down for the day with her family to meet Leyton.

Her daughter Amelia loves playing with our dogs.  Here she is piling shoes in front of the dog gate.  Don't exactly know why, but it was funny.  Later we found that she had thrown all the shoes to the bottom of the steps.  She kept us entertained :)

We had a really great time seeing our good friends!  It is so nice that they are willing to make the long haul down here to visit.  Come again any time- we love having you!

Here is a daddy/Leyton pic and a momma/Leyton pic to end a great weekend!

Day Trip to Woodville/Hudson

At 2:00pm on Saturday, Jordan decided that we needed to make a quick trip home.  He said he wanted to be spontaneous and that it would be fun.  I did not think it would be fun to pack up a three week old and travel 3 1/2 hrs when it as already so late in the day.......but we did it.  We arrived at Jordan's parents house around 8pm and had a bon fire.

The next day, since we were home I really wanted to take Leyton to Hudson to meet his Great Grandpa Lee!  Leyton did meet his great grandpa, but unfortunately he was really tired.  We kept him awake long enough to get a few pictures though!



Later that afternoon my friend Cassie came over to meet Leyton.  She happened to be home from California, which was the main reason why I decided it would be ok to make a day trip home.

Here is Cassie and I with our children.  Her daughter Nora is about 7 months old.

After Cassie and her family left, we packed up and headed home to Sotughton.  Like I said, it was a real quick trip home!  Hopefully next time will be longer and we can see more people!

Because I love Taking Pictures!

I love my swing!

Goodnight!

My funny face.

More Firsts!

My mom came to town the past couple days.  Leyton had some more firsts!  We took him shopping at Khols.  Since Khols has weird carts.....we weren't sure if his car seat would fit on one.  I had a sling that a friend made for me in the car so we decided it was a good time to try it out. 

It worked really well, and Leyton seemed to be comfortable in it.  He slept the whole time!  After some shopping my mom and I decided to get some lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.  This was Leyton's first time at a restaurant.

He did very well!  He slept the whole time, making lunch very easy!  I was kind of nervous, not knowing if he was going to cry or get hungry during lunch.  It worked out well.

We had a lot fo fun having Grandma Laura visit.  She cooked us lasagna, corn beef cassarole, and made banana chocolate chip bread for us.  Thanks Grandma!  Come again soon!
