HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY TO MY #1 GRANDSON!!

Today is my little "prince's" 11th birthday. My goodness he has grown up way to fast. I know how excited he was last year to be 10, you know, he was now "two" numbers old. Funny how they view that type of thing. The pictures I have posted are some of my personal favorites. They are recent, with the exception of the little one. He was maybe 6 months old. Landon is the sweetest little boy, always has hugs for his grandma, and will talk your leg off. He will talk to you about anything. He is always reminding me that I drive a "pimped out" car. Heaven only knows where those things come from. I think it means it's a cool car. He and I have a deal that when he comes to my house we always get Kentucky Fried Chicken. He tells me that no one else at his house likes it. So we try to do that. I absolutely love it when he and I get the one on one time. Now that he is older we don't do it very often, but I savor it when we do. Sometimes I wish they would stay small, you know, when going to grandma's was the highlight of the day. Darn it, they just grow up too soon.

Landon loves sports. His favorite is football and he loves the Greenbay Packers. He plays football in the fall, and it's a fun time to watch him. He comes off the field with smiles, especially when things are going good for the team. He played baseball this summer and was a really good catcher. I don't much like that position, it's hot and dirty. Maybe that's why he likes it. He can get down and dirty.

Just in case you haven't guessed it, I love this little guy with all my heart and soul. When I look into his eyes I see his Granddad. He has those dark dark eyes, the kind that tell you everything you want to know. Landon is someone really special and I want him to have the very best 11th birthday ever. Love and kisses to my "prince", I love you very much. ~Gram.
