yvonne is really creative and got some amazing shots of Landon wrapped in white sheets. she did the same thing with Josiah... here are some cute shots from it...

this outfit is a semmens' family tradition. my brother was the first to wear it almost 33 years ago. of course i got it as a hand-me-down.

somehow it was kept through the years so when my brother started having kids they started wearing it too. His sons Brennen, Ethan, Nathan and Jaden have all worn it. Landon was born in between Nathan and Jaden so we had to have it shipped out to us in Texas so that he could wear it. We then shipped it back on word that another Semmens was on the way so that Jaden could wear it. Since Yvonne's mom was coming out my mom had it shipped out to her mom and she carried it with her way out our way so that Josiah could wear it. It has now been worn by 8 Semmens boys spanning nearly 33 years!

a friend of yvonne's mama made these outfits for the boys... Landon is Buzz Lightyear and Josiah is a motionless bear with an occasional high pitched roar.
