John Deere Tractor Birthday Cake

Landon watching as everyone sings to him

Just had to post this picture of his friend Davis with all that green frosting on his face!

The party room!

Landon decided a couple of months ago that he wanted a John Deere Tractor Birthday Party and he talked about it frequently. This was the first year that he really "got" his birthday and understood that he would have a huge celebration, cake, ice cream and presents! Birthdays are holidays in our family and we celebrate the month, week and day! It has been so much fun watching to see how excited he has gotten about EVERYTHING! His party was at J&R Gymnastics which could not have been a better place...he loves the trampoline, foam pit, walking on the beam and jumping off and hanging from the bars...oh, and of course he likes to run around like a crazy boy! We would like to thank all of our friends and family for coming to his birthday bash and helping us celebrate Landon's BIG day!

Landon is THREE!

These are Landon's 3 year pictures we had taken. We had to get a tractor in a picture since his birthday party theme was John Deere Tractor this year.

Landon's Port Isabel/South Padre Adventures

Landon waiting patiently for Pa and Daddy to get the boat ready

Hanging out with Meme

Ready for the adventure :)

Heading out...

Landon's Big Catch...he caught 4 of these mangrove snapper and was super excited each time!

Playing on the beach...Landon loved running, rolling and crashing into the sand. He was a sandy mess when we left but he enjoyed getting dirty!

Dairy Queen is a must when we visit Meme and Pa

Pa took Landon fishing and Daddy got to go along as the deck hand! Landon is quite the "catcher man!" He does not have the attention span to be a fisherman yet, but that will come with time! He does love to reel in his big fish and gets just excited with each one that he catches. Thanks Pa for taking Landon to a great fishing hole!

That evening Meme and I took Landon to run on the beach and then to Dairy Queen. Needless to say, Landon had a very fun filled day and had trouble settling down to go to sleep because he was so wound up from all the excitement!

Ringing in the New Year with a Fishing Trip and Fireworks!

Brian, Landon, Ryan and the Biggest Catch of the Day!

Landon could not wait to get into the boat :)

Landon got a kick out of touching the fish's eye.

I like that this one shows the pyromaniacs!

Brian, Ryan (my brother) and Aaron (friend) went fishing New Years Eve and caught their limit in Red Snapper. It was an awesome trip! Thanks so much Cho Ro for being a great Captain and fish cleaner! ;)

That evening we had a community dinner with my parents friends and then one of the neighbors shot off some beautiful fireworks! It was an amazing show and we had the best view. It was like having it in your own backyard. Landon thought it was a little too close and told us it scared him and that his heart was sad. Poor little guy. I am sure the next firework show will not be so close and he will be fine. He loved them this past 4th of July, so we will see!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Christmas in Port Isabel

We celebrated Christmas during the New Year in Port Isabel. It was actually not as warm as I would have liked but we did have two really nice days, so that was good. :) Landon loved having another Christmas celebration...he is enjoying all his new toys, clothes and gadgets. My parents live in a great neighborhood with some fabulous neighbors. We had several meals with all of them and it is always lots of fun. I think Landon likes being the only little one around because everyone loves on him! We also made the rounds and ate at our favorite eateries...yummo! Thanks for a nice time MeMe and Pa!
