Sledding Pics

Schwartz Christmas 2008

We enjoyed a White Christmas with the family in Minnesota! We had a great time with Grandma and the kids at the community center in Becky's neighborhood. It has kid's pool with a water slide and a 4 story climbing maze that Landon loved. Then we went to Grandpa's for some sledding and lots of good food.

Guerra Christmas 2008

We had the Guerra side of the family over for Christmas dinner. We all walked into the city to see the Macy's light show. It was a little cold for the kids, but everyone was a tropper. We returned home for some hot chocolate, dinner and gift giving. The kids were great!

Here's Gwyne and Vincent on their first cab ride home from the light show.
Uncle Dan and Aunt Lori got Landon a new 4 wheeler that he loves.
DeeDee got all the grandkids a Presidential Coin collector's box. Here's Nico and Lori putting his coins away.

It's So Heavy and So Funny!

This was so hilarious, I'm glad I grabbed my camera and got it on video. Landon got into our shopping bag and found the bottle of Listerine we just bought. He could hardly lift it up, and found it hilarious. Every time I said "it's so heavy," he cracked up. Enjoy! (Landon's almost 14 months old here.)

Long Overdue

In case you've forgotten what we look like, here's some pics.



Our last post was June for father's day. A lot has happened since then. In July, we had our 4th Anniversary. And Landon's grown up before our very eyes! He started walking and had a great time toddling around his 1st Birthday Party. Now at 13 months old, he's more fun than ever! He's climbing every where and loves to play at the park. He went from a quiet baby to a very talkative little toddler. The best part of this age is all the "conversation". From the second he wakes up, he's having a day-long conversation with sounds like "adoo" "bi" "ba" and "bis".

Albie's 1st Father's Day

Here's to Albie in his new roll as a father! He is so fun with Landon. He showers him with love & kisses. I love to watch my two favorite guys together!

Albie opening up his father's day presents at like 5:30 a.m. (When our day typically begins courtesy of Landon.)


Landon's first time on the beach. It's true when they say kids get sand in every crevice.
After grilling out, Albie and Landon cuddled on the back patio.

We (finally) finished the nursery.

The finishing touches included a book shelf to hang by the rocking chair and some new shelves for picture frames.




Finally, every nursery needs a happy, healthy, (preferably sleeping) baby!

Radio Flyer Wagon

He loves it! He just collects toys and pushes them around in the wagon. I'm keeping my camera close, we're thinking first solo steps any time.

Also note Landon's 1st haircut - by Daddy! Al did a great job with the clippers. We got rid of that Donald Trump comb over.

Family Membership at the Aquarium

Landon loved watching the fish.


That's a hippopotamus swimming by us.

Happy Memorial Day

We traveled to Indiana to see Grandma, Aunt Becky, Uncle Nate, Aunt Amanda and cousins Madeline & Henry. It was like going away on vacation. We went on boat rides, swam in the pool and enjoyed lots of BBQ's on Uncle Frank's deck. Lots of Firsts for Landon, first boat ride, (first beer) & first swim in the pool.
