Let's Rodeo San Antonio ~ Yee Haw!

We went to the San Antonio stock show grounds last Friday with two of Landon's friends from his school and their mommies!  We all had a great time...the kiddos rode rides, watched piglets race, ate great food, went through an educational exhibit sponsored by HEB, saw lots of animals, "drove" boats and tractors and ran around like all good cowboys do! :) 

When I told Landon we were going to the rodeo he insisted on wearing his cowboy costume, and I let him,  because you are only little once, right?!  He loved being in all his gear and was so excited to wear his cowboy boots!  He had the best time with Cole and Max.  He tells me that they are his buddies and that they like to hang out!  I thought you did not hang out with buddies until you were a teenager?  Boy how times have changed! :)

This was our second year to attend and we will for sure make this an annual event.

Landon's Chapel Performance

Landon goes to chapel every Tuesday at school.  It is really a good little service for the kiddos!  On Tuesday the 3 year old classes got to sing for everybody.  It was so sweet. 

Arctic Blast 2011

You have to look hard BUT the white tint on the deck is SNOW!

Love Landon's face in this picture...antcipating snow coming into his face!

Proud of his snow filled glove!

What our back deck looked like...we had a strong wind before the snow and it threw the toys everywhere!

Fun pattern on our table :)

Animal Prints

Heading back inside with a smile!

Last Friday we woke up to SNOW!  This is a BIG deal when you live in Central Texas.  Landon could not wait to get bundled up and run outside to play in it.  Landon and Daddy threw snow at each other, he wrote in the snow, ran in it and looked at different animal prints in the snow.  This was a rare treat for us...I am not a cold weather person but I did go out and have so much fun watching Landon. 

Landon's 4th Birthday Party~Chuck E. Cheese's Style

Dancin' with Chuck E.

When it is your birthday party you can get away with this silliness! ;)

The family with Mr. Cheese

Thanks Pa and Meme for the pinata! 

Ticket Blaster Time!

Aunt Tammy, Elli and Uncle Paul

Landon, Pa and Meme

Landon planned his birthday party for 11 months and I am not exaggerating!  He was so excited when his big day finally arrived.  He insisted that we have his party at Chuck E. Cheese's and he wanted all his friends to come help him celebrate.  He literally wore a smile the entire 2 hours of his party!  His favorite things about the party were dancing with Chuck E. Cheese and eating his cake of course!  He chose to have a fishing theme which fit him perfectly because for all that know him he is obsessed with fishing!  I still cannot believe that I have a four year old but I am so happy and proud of the boy that he has grown to be!

*Thank you to my friend Kristin for taking lots of pictures for me while I enjoyed the party!

Gristmill...a Birthday Tradition

Landon has celebrated his birthday every year at Gristmill...they have the best strawberry shortcake!  Thank goodness Landon is the sharing type.  He lets all of us dive in and sample his treat!  This year we went with Meme, Pa and Cousin Lara.  Lara is going to college in San Marcos and he loves every minute he gets to spend with her.  She brought Landon a bag full of lots of good loot for his big day.  Chocolate milk is a treat in our house and she stocked him up with a big canister of Nesquik!  She must really know what little ones like because she also got him bubble gum, ring pops, bubbles and other great kid stuff!  Thanks Cousin Lara!

Monster Jam 2011

This was the winner...Air Force Afterburner

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Monster Truck in action :)

My personal favorite...Monster Mutt!

Kyle and Landon enjoying some tasty cotton candy!

Uh Oh!  Grave Digger crashed!

Now that is what you call a BLOW OUT!

Brian and Landon went to the Monster Truck Show on Saturday with our friend Jeff and his son Kyle...all the boys had a blast!  What a perfect "boys only" outing!  Landon has talked nonstop about it since he came home. 

Brian had bought some toy Monster Trucks so that the boys could each take one with them to the show.  Well, as luck would have it, both boys held a winning Monster Truck.  Landon's Air Force Afterburner came in 1st place and Kyle had StoneCrusher, which came in 2nd!

Landon is already talking about going again!

Happy New Year!

Walker, Mattie, William and Landon...they sure had fun together :)

Being SUPER silly!

Who knew a closet could be so fun?!

Mattie and Landon posing after midnight!

We rang in the New Year with friends, burgers, sausage, chips, dips and desserts!  We made sure to put Landon down for a late nap so he would make it to midnight BUT he was so excited to go play at William's house that he hardly slept!  He, along with the other kiddos had no problem staying awake...they were actually still running circles around us at that time!  William, Landon and Mattie were all born within 8 months of each other so they had the best time playing all night!  Since the children did such a great job entertaining themselves the adults had a chance to talk.  We had a fun evening and Landon even slept in the next day...it is hard being a busy 3 year old!  Thanks you so much for having us over Moffatt family.  Always a fun time at your house! :)
