A Very Bitter and Sweet Day

October 17th was quite the day for us. Bitter because we found out we lost the baby I'm carrying. At my doctor's appointment, they could not find a heart beat. I had an ultra sound which confirmed there was no heart beat. We are very sad to say the least. However, in the same day we were able to go home and celebrate the life of our new 1 year old. How gratefull we are for our three beautiful boys and the joy they bring us.

Landen was actually scared on his 1st birthday. Dallin and Isaac had party blowers and party hats that Landen was terrified of. We had to put them away, but it didn't help much. The cake scared him, the candle, the balloon, everything. We finally got him calmed down and took things slower, then he was ok, and finally enjoyed the yummy cake!







He was ok after we took the cake away and fork fed him.
Then he was ready to go! Yum!

Presents!





Happy Birthday Landen! We love you!
