Cindy's Little Happy Place: Hey Hey.... Friday Night!

LOVE THESE GUYS... ALL 3!!!

What I'm most grateful for today... February 12, 2009

I'm soooo grateful that my Landon has found the "one" true love of his life. Truly, my heart is at peace because Landon deserves to have this more than anyone I know. He's exceptional, and I say that from the deepest part of my heart because he is so good inside and will give everything he has to this girl. She is so very lucky! And Landon you have found your soulmate... your equal because we see how much she adores you and how happy she makes you... you shine. This Valentine's Day will be somethin' for all of us to remember! You will never forget this day for the rest of your life son. I love you! Have a blast!!!!!!!!!!
