Landon is Twelve

It has been forever since I have last blogged about anything.  A lot has been going on, but most importantly, it was Landon's birthday and he turned twelve. I don't know how I feel about having a twelve year old. I feel like time has snuck up on me, and it certainly isn't possible for him to have grown up so fast.   It seems like yesterday when I had him, when he was my little buddy and wanted to sit on the couch and have "conversations" with me.   Now I can't get him to say more than two words about his day.  :)  He had a great birthday this year. He got to go to school and bring treats, and is going to Outer Limits with a friend this weekend.  He asked for a bar code scanner for his birthday present, and we ended up getting him a drawing tablet for the computer too.  He was way excited for sure. Landon loves the computer, and is actually quite good at it.  The other day he came home from school late and  I was wondering what he had been doing. He said that he was helping his teacher with a computer program she had to do.  He has helped a few other teachers at the school too. He loves it when he can help the teachers...maybe he knows he is earning a few extra brownie points. ha ha    Here are some birthday pics of my cute twelve year old.

Now that he is twelve, he had the opportunity to get ordained to become a deacon.  I am proud of his choice to follow his Heavenly Father and do what is right.  He is a good boy, and I hope he always chooses to make good choices.  He went to the Priesthood session of conference with his dad, and attended Young Men's last night for the first time.  He certainly is growing up, and I am proud to be his mom!
