Come play, Schlitterbahn, bahn, bahn, bahn, bahn...

Playing in the submarine with Jake

Ty, Declan and Landon

Schlitterbahn has opened for the season and we have already enjoyed breaking in our passes! Since Landon is a big 3 year old this year, he had to have a pass too! He feels important getting a wristband just like Mom and all the big kids! I enjoy meeting up with my mommy friends and Landon has a blast playing with his buddies. As soon as we get to the park he asks, "Where are my friends?" He is such a little dare devil and does really well in the water. We are happy to live in such a FUN tourist town and planning on having - "The hottest, coolest time in Texas" for 3 months!

A look back at Landon's Mother's Day Out...

First Day of MDO ~ December 2008 ~ 22 months

Look how huge his backpack looks?!?!

First Day of 2009-2010 Year ~ 2 years, 7 months

Last Day of 2009-2010 Year ~ 3 years, 4 months

He has grown into his backpack now! :)


Landon just completed his 1st full year of Mother's Day Out (MDO) on Thursday, so of course I had to take a picture of him on his last day in the 2 year old class. He loved his year at "school" and had so much fun with his friends and had the best teachers that made his days there very enjoyable! After I uploaded the pictures from his last day I decided to look back at his earlier pictures from MDO and I am amazed how much he has grown and changed in such a short time. He is truly a big boy now and has lost all signs of baby and toddler. Although I miss some of those baby/toddler days, I am loving this stage that he is in right now and wish we could push the slow motion button so he will not grow up too fast!

His big catch =)

Look at my toad!

We started off our Sunday at Pica Taco...one of our most favorite places to eat breakfast and then we headed to church, lunch and home for a good nap! It is a rare occurrence that we all take naps but we did and it was great! Landon then asked to go fishing, so off to Cypress bend park we went. He loves to fish, play with the worms, run down the path by the river and throw rocks in the water. We had such a good time. He caught several Blue Gil fish and was super proud of himself. He then caught a toad when we were walking the trail and loved chasing after it. It was a super day and makes me even more excited about this warm weather and long days!

Papa and G-Ma Come to Town :)

Papa and Landon fishing...if you look closely you can see his catch



Brian's parents came to visit last weekend and we sure had fun catching up with them. Daddy, Papa and Landon went fishing while G-Ma and I went shopping. On Mother's Day, we went to church and came home and the boys grilled yummy steaks and we baked some veggie casseroles...sure beat dealing with the crowds at restaurants. Landon loves all the attention from his grandparents, not to mention the special treats they sneak him! We enjoyed the time we had with them and are already looking forward to planning another visit.

Kentucky Derby Party

Kentucky Derby Mommas

The kiddos

The trampoline was a hit with all the little ones :)


We attended a Kentucky Derby Party and had a blast. It was fun dressing for the event and seeing all the kiddos in ties and sundresses! Should have gotten a group shot of the guys too, but that just didn't happen. We enjoyed good "Southern" food and fellowship! Thanks Walters' Family!
