Celebrating Landon

Landon turned 14 on January 26, but had to wait until February 22 for an open weekend to celebrate with the family.  And celebrate we did!  Brent, April and the boys arrived in Iowa late Friday night and Saturday morning after papa's omelettes and a trip to Scheel's for new Iowa gear we were off to Cedar Rapids to spend the rest of the weekend at the Kahler's house.

Landon chose his usual for lunch - pizza!





Time for presents!




Super excited for shoe boxes for his many shoes!
