Enjoying our time together...

Kenny & I are really trying to maximize our time together before Landon arrives because we know it will be different then. Tonight we went to Roper Mtn. Lights to enjoy the lights & s'mores as we prepare for the holidays. We had alot of fun & can't wait until our little man can join us on a future visit. Also, I purchased a book of 365 stories & rhymes for little boys as a gift for Kenny. Every night he chooses something to read to Landon & it's been a nice time for us to connect as a family.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent Thanksgiving with both of our families. We had dinner at my mom's first at noon & then on to Ken's sister's house in the evening. It was all delicious, I'm only wishing today that we had grabbed some leftovers. We woke up early at 3 am to make it to Wal-mart for a few deals we were searching for. We never get up that early but found everything we were looking for & didn't get in any fights. We went to a few others stores before returning home about noon to take a nap. Now I'm just working on wrapping Christmas presents & finishing the decorations at home. We both feel that we have so much to be grateful for & we count our blessings everyday! I can't believe that little Landon will join us at the next Thanksgiving meal. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A Cause for Celebration!

I spent Saturday with Landon's two wonderful grandma's. We met for breakfast at Cracker Barrel & then drove to the outlets in Commerce, GA. I had a few coupons for some of my favorite stores & we spent the day looking for cute outfits for him. I've already purchased the bedding at TJ Maxx & the diaper bag I loved. His room will be decorated with a music theme using guitars & records- more to come on that. I thought the diaper bag fit our style & would be better for daddy to carry since it wasn't so cutesy. I know Kenny will be gaga for Landon so I'm sure he wouldn't have minded. Take a look at our pictures from the weekend. We all dressed in blue in celebration for the "little man" who has already stolen our hearts. :)

Who knew cookie cake could be so fulfilling?? WE DID!

Terry, Adam, & the boys came up to visit for the evening & we celebrated Landon with a cookie cake. It's so adorable that Riley is starting to understand that he will soon have a little cousin. I've posted a few pictures from the evening.

It's a BOY!

Our little man is growing fast & although he wanted to be stubborn today & curl up in a ball we were able to confirm that in April we will welcome Landon Kenneth Horton. Kenny & I are so excited & I can't wait to start buying little boy things which we will do tonight. We are going to dinner to celebrate & picking up a few things at the store. It feels so amazing to be at this point & to have everyone's support. And yes, We DO accept hand-me-downs! :) I hope everyone understands I'm not big on posting pictures of the ultrasound showing his gender- guess I'm weird.

One week away

We will find out what we are having next week & we are so excited. It seems like time is passing so quickly already. Thanks to all of you for your votes on our boy/girl poll. I can't wait to start calling baby by name- Madelyne or Landon! We are planning a fun weekend- I'm going shopping with the grandma's on Saturday after we find out & then Terry and Adam are coming up to share our favorite dessert *cookie cake*. May sound nerdy but we are excited!

I will keep you posted.

Planning...Planning...Planning...

I'm sure you all know what a planner I am & I'm trying to get done as much as I can before the baby arrives. I've got my OB & I know where we will be delivering. I've pre-registered at the hospital & signed up for the hospital tour and new parent classes in the new year. We are starting to look at pediatricians so we can decide before the baby arrives. We chose a daycare & paid the deposit. We've got names, the crib, bedding, etc. picked out. What else should I be doing?

One thing I'm excited about is having maternity & newborn pictures done of the baby & I think I've decided on a photographer locally http://www.susanbrewerphotography.com/. She has a "First year" baby program & I can exchange one of the sessions for maternity. I'm thinking maternity, newborn, 6 months, & 1 year photos.

I've found some images online like I like- I think it would be cute for my maternity pictures to be done with a parasol in blue or pink since the baby is due in April. I was so excited to see an example online of what I had thought up. What do you guys think? I've attached a few examples. I was thinking the shoe picture would be replaced with our vans skull slip ones for mommy, daddy, & baby.
