It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Tree Lighting


Kaila and Landon

Breakfast with Santa ~ Saying "CHEESE" between bites!

So happy because Santa is in the other room!!!

The biggest sugar cookie I have ever seen ~ Landon and I decorated it together!


It is not even Thanksgiving yet and we have already been to two Christmas events...New Braunfels Downtown Tree Lighting and Breakfast With Santa! Landon has a love-hate relationship with Santa. He likes to wave at him and smile at him from afar but has no intentions of sitting nicely on his lap and telling him what he wants for Christmas. I will have to post the picture as soon as I get it scanned.

Landon's Pre-Hair Cut Do

About to do one of his favorite things...throw me a kiss!

Having fun with his toys

The night we took Landon to get his hair cut I styled it into a mohawk. He seemed to like it and enjoyed looking at himself in the mirror. I will post some new hair cut pictures soon!

Family Fun Time at the Park

Landon saying "fish...glub, glub, glub" as he looks at the fish on Daddy's shirt!

Wood Ducks...there were tons out and their feathers are just so pretty!

Brian, Landon and I went to the park to feed the ducks, but we were also greeted by geese, squirrels, and black birds. Landon loves to do this, but he sometimes thinks he needs to eat the bread too. We take stale bread to feed to them which isn't technically bad for him but it can't taste that good I don't think. We then walked around and explored other parts of the park. It was a very nice outing on a beautiful day!

Weekend in Robstown

The boys favorite part of the weekend

Landon and Rowan at the Restaurant

Mr. Friendly waving to Grammy up in the bleachers

Landon and I went to Robstown last weekend and met up with my mom, sister-in-law, aunts and cousins. This is a yearly tradition for us and we make fun memories together. We hit The Peddler Show each day and eat good food in the evening! We have matching shirts and called the event EST Fest even though we had 2 boys come along this time. Landon is for sure not invited back next year. Shopping is not his thing, so he will be hunting with his Daddy next year!

Our Little Trooper

Sporting a cool hospital gown and coloring

Just waking up from anesthesia

Surgery isn't too bad if it results in a tasty popsicle!

Landon had his adenoids removed and ear tubes put in on Thursday morning. He was so great about it...we were proud of our lil' guy. The liquid "cocktail" that was supposed to make him drowsy made him quite goofy, which made it easier to leave him because he was in his own happy world!! He did very well and came out of the anesthesia very groggy, but excited that he got to drink some juice! He would have been perfectly fine sleeping in the recovery room all morning. He was not quite himself most of the day, but by that evening he was ready to go!

Meet Landon's New Cousin, Elliana!

Brian's sister, Tammy, had a beautiful baby girl named Elliana Joy on October 30th! We are so excited for her and Paul!

Halloween Night

We hung out with our friends on Halloween night. Landon had a lot of fun playing with William and Sydney was such a great helper while we walked to a few houses Trick-or-Treating. He loved seeing all the dogs in the neighborhood more than anything else. Poor thing, still has not been given a piece of candy. What he doesn't know, won't hurt him, right?!?! We even saw Sarah Palin...she was looking for Joe the Plumber!

Happy Halloween...Arrr!

Fun Times in Dallas

Landon, Alex and Reaganne

Alex and Landon

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

Landon planting his pansie

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.
