Kourtney Kardashian is celebrating the little things—and the people—who make life brighter.

Marking Landon Barker’s 22nd birthday, The Kardashians star shared a heartfelt message to her stepson on Instagram, capturing a few tender family moments with husband Travis Barker and his daughter Alabama Barker.

“A light in my life,” Kourtney, 46, wrote in her Oct. 9 post. “Happy birthday @landonbarker 22!! Love you forever.”

It’s a simple but touching tribute that reflects the close-knit bond she’s built with Travis’s kids since their blended family came together.

Indeed, the Barkers didn’t miss the chance to celebrate the “Over You” singer’s special milestone. In the first photo, Kourtney posed while Landon and Alabama, 19—who the Blink-182 drummer shares with ex Shanna Moakler—flipped off the camera. Travis, 49, echoed his kids’ gesture in the following shot, and the rest of them playfully pouted next to him.

That wasn’t the end of the love, as Kourtney’s sister Khloe Kardashian also commented, “Happy birthday Landon!”

After their photoshoot, the Poosh founder—who shares 22-month-old son Rocky Barker with Travis, as well as Mason, Penelope, and Reign, with ex Scott Disick—offered a look into Landon’s birthday festivities in her Instagram Stories. There, she posted a photo of her and her stepson gearing up for a few rounds of paintball. The blended family then took Landon out to dinner and gifted him a matcha dessert plate.

“Happy birthday @landonbarker,” he captioned the post, which sees Landon turning into his mini-me over the years. “I’m so proud of the young man you’ve become and I’ve loved the journey getting here. Couldn’t ask for a better son. Here’s to many more. I can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep chasing what sets your soul on fire. I love you.”

And when the Kardashian-Barker crew aren’t singing Landon his praises, he’s giving that same attention to his youngest sibling. Indeed, the musician detailed how he and Rocky have become so close that the toddler gave him a new nickname.

“I love baby Rocky,” Landon told E! News’ The Rundown in April. “He’s to the size now where I don’t feel like I’m going to—I don’t know, I had this weird fear that was like, ‘Oh my god. He’s so fragile.’ But he’s a bit bigger now so I feel very comfortable holding him. He kind of knows my name already. He calls me Don.”
