Landon Enjoying the Slide

Brian, Landon and I went to Dallas for the weekend to see Greg, Brian's best friend from high school, and his family. We had a great time and it was nice to watch the kids play and interact with each other. Their oldest daughter, Alex, was so great with Landon ...perfect Mommy Helper! Reaganne, their two year old, and Landon had a great time playing in the wagon, swinging and getting soaked with bubbles! They also have a precious little 6 week old son named Dylan. On Saturday, another one of Brian's friends from high school, Doug, and his family came over and it was nice to hang out, eat yummy fajitas and just relax! Sunday we went to Joe's Crab Shack which had a playground for the kiddos...that was fantastic!

San Antonio "BOO"tanical Gardens

One of Landon's obsessions is ducks...whatever has wings and a beak is a "duck" to him! So, he was really excited about feeding, petting and watching them.

Sunday, Landon and I went to the the BOOtanical Festival with our friends Jessica and Charli. They had several booths set up for the kids to do arts and crafts and they also had an area where you could plant a pansie. This was Landon's favorite since he got to play in dirt! There were also several educational stations too. This will be a must do event every October.

Weekend Highlights

We started off the weekend at our local fire station with Kinder Moms (one of my mom groups) and Landon could not have been more excited. He loved the big trucks! They let the little ones get in and look around and explore and he did not want to get out. The fireman that was helping out felt sorry for him because I took him out crying so he asked if he could put him back in...what a softy! Landon was all about that and hung out in the truck for a long while!

Go Spurs Go!
Brian, Landon and I had the opportunity to attend a Spurs game on Friday night! Our friends have season passes and they were going to be out of town, so they gave us their tickets for the game! Thanks Denise and Dan. We had an awesome time! It was so great seeing the game in person!


Saturday we went to a Fall Festival and Landon's favorite thing was the barrel train! He would have stayed on it ALL afternoon. The driver was very generous and gave extra long rides so that was a good thing!

"Mom, if you did not strap me in so tight I could honk this horn a little easier!"

Spider Web Dip

Baked Flour Tortilla Chips

Tonight I have my monthly MOPS meeting and our group is in charge of bringing the snacks. We decided to go with the Halloween theme since it is October. I wanted to share my creations because I thought they came out cute and they were SO simple which is even better!

Sweet Sleeping Boy

Yesterday I walked into Landon's room during his nap and this is what I found...pacifier in the mouth, one in his hand and Buster the dog in the other hand! I thought he looked so cute that I had to snap a few pictures. Landon only gets his pacifier(s) for his nap or at bedtime and I originally thought I would take them away at 18 months, but he is 20 months now and still LOVES sleeping with them. After watching him sleep like this it makes me sad to even try and take them away. Maybe I will make Daddy be the mean guy!! Then again, maybe I will not fight this battle just yet!?!?
