Fair Day with Friends

Landon about to "drive" the big tractor. He kept asking for the keys. :)

Landon during the pony ride...he said "Yee Haw!"

Landon and William watching their tractor parade!

This picture just makes me laugh...Landon not so sure about the big cow and William informing us that there is a BIG cow behind him. They were a cute pair :)

Landon and I met up with some friends on Friday morning at the County Fair. Friday morning seems like the best time to go because most people are at the parade, so we have the place all to ourselves! The tractors were Landon's favorite part! He was also very excited that Ms. Katy shared her funnel cake with him...he ditched his pork chop once that was brought to the table. :) Landon and William were lucky to be in the right place and the right time and got to view their very own private "tractor parade." The tractors were coming in from the parade so we parked the wagon in front of them and the boys thought that was great. We love our small town fair and look forward to it every year. Thanks for meeting up with us Krista, William, Kimberly, Kaila and Katy!

"Bye Bye Fiers"

Last morning to wake up with his "fiers"

The awesome garbage truck he received in the pacifier trade-off :)

On Friday, Landon traded in his pacifiers or "fiers" as he called them for a super cool garbage truck. He was so excited to get the truck out of the packaging and play with it, however, as soon as nap time rolled around I think he had forgotten the deal he made with his Daddy earlier in the morning. I reminded him about the trade and that his "fiers" were at work with Daddy and now he has a garbage truck instead. He was super sad and at one point told me he did not want the truck. I laid down with him, which helped him get to sleep that afternoon and when he woke up he was excited to see his new favorite toy. I cried just as much as he did as soon as he was asleep...this was as tough for me as it was for him. :( That night he asked for them once again but when I said they were gone, he was fine and did not cry one tear. I was relieved that he did not fight it...made it so much easier on me. He no longer even asks for them but I am still sad for him. Our little boy is growing up and it is just so bittersweet.

Farewell Schlitterbahn Summer 2009

Landon is on the far right. He is sliding down the "der Bahn Speed Slide." He absolutely loved this slide and went down it probably 10 times. I guess since he is so light it automatically flipped him on his stomach as soon as the water shot out and pushed him down the slide. Didn't seem to bother him though since he kept wanting to go again and again!

All three of us went to Schlitterbahn on the last day of the 2009 season and had a fabulous day. We took Landon on several rides that he had never been on and of course he loved each one. He is such a dare devil and loves anything fast. It was a bit cold but after awhile we all got used to it...blue tinged lips and all. Landon finally got to ride the Schlitterbahn bus, something he had begged to do. It was definitely one of the highlights of the day. Schlitterbahn was great to us all summer...we will miss it, but are already looking forward to the fun fall activities ahead. :)

Party! Party!

Landon had 2 birthday parties to attend today...needless to say he is in bed and it is only 7:30. That is pretty early for him. He thoroughly enjoyed each one and had more candy/sweets today, than he has ever had, in his short 2 1/2 years of life. He will be detoxing tomorrow!

Spontaneous Excitement

Lovin' the indoor pool

Cooling off in the water

Landon and I headed to Corpus on Saturday morning to meet my mom/Meme. Brian and my dad were in Goliad getting ready for dear season, SO us girls and Landon decided to meet up and have a great weekend together. We started off with lunch at Chuck E Cheese...that adventure lasted 2.5 hours and we sure did have fun! :) Landon loves that place, what child wouldn't? He traded in his tickets for a cool rocket that we all had fun playing with in the hotel later. After a 2 hour nap in the hotel we went to a cool park on the bay and then to Joe's Crab Shack. This is the perfect place for a music/dancing loving little boy. We finished the weekend off with a swim in the pool, visit to the fake beach and a yummy lunch and then back to New Braunfels. Thanks for meeting up with us Meme. :)

Landon on his new favorite toy - EZ Ski Trainer

We spent Monday out on the lake and Landon went "skiing" for the first time. He has found his new favorite hobby! This boy is up for any adventure and always wants to try something new! He would wave to us and give us a big thumbs up. We met up with the Rush family while we were out there and the kiddos enjoyed playing together and getting to ride on a wave runner. Days like this are the best...great time with family and friends!

Fun with Cousins

Splish, splash Landon and Elli were taking a bath...

Co Lo and Co Ro

Tatum and Parker

Landon and I went to San Antonio to spend one night with Tammy and Elliana. We had so much fun in such a short amount of time...swimming, went for a walk, playground fun, Wal-Mart trip, McDonald's and yummy food from Tammy! It is great seeing the cousins play together. Landon is loving tnat Elliana is getting older and playful! :)

On our way home we stopped by to see Rowan, Tatum and Parker! More cousin fun, the boys played their hearts out and got nice and dirty. They are quite a pair and going to be TROUBLE the older they get! The girls are just beautiful and have grown so much since the first time we saw them.

Off to School...

Landon ready for his first day back at "school" with his play Blackberry...what a sign of the times!! (He did have to leave it in the car, no phones at school!)

Landon started back at Mother's Day Out today...he is in the 2 year old class now. He was so excited about "school" and could not wait to see his teachers Ms. Heather and Ms. Kayla and all his friends. He is such a social boy and enjoys being around others!

I met some other Mommies from his class at a coffee shop right after drop off time and it was so nice to sit and chat with them. On the way home it started to sink in that my lil' buddy was gone for the whole day and I started crying like a baby...we have so much fun together and I miss him so much but I know that he is having fun and this is a good thing for him! :)
