Little man came strolling through the kitchen pushing his firetruck and wearing his fire helmet! I love this kid so much!

Pumpkin Decorating Contest

Landon's school is having a Pumpkin Decorating Contest this week and each family is encouraged to decorate a pumpkin for the contest. The pumpkins will line the halls of his school all week. We decided to paint our pumpkin to look like ELMO. With all the kiddos at Landon's school, it should definitely be a hit and win first place, right?!? We had such a great time painting this pumpkin together and little man got so into the painting...it was serious business to him!! He was so cute!!

See how serious he is?!? Such attention to detail...he was cracking us up!

ELMO is drying overnight...I will take pictures of Landon with the finished product and get them posted later in the week!!

Blue Angels

Every year the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds perform a show very close to our house. This year the Blue Angels came and delivered another great performance!! Yesterday, David went with a friend to watch the airshow while Landon and I stayed home and watched it from a distance in our driveway. Landon LOVED it!! He did get a little scared when they flew right over our house after a stunt (our house was a good distance away from the actual show for them to turn around at)...I have to admit that I did too--they were flying so low as they flew over!! Since Landon enjoyed it so much yesterday, we decided that we would take him closer to the show and let him watch the performance today as well. Again, he was mesmerized!! Maybe we have a future pilot on our hands?!?!

My two boys watching the Blue Angels.
So AWESOME!!

Pumpkin Patch

I LOVE the pumpkin patch!! It's so much fun and I'm so glad that we have decided to make it a yearly tradition. Last year when we took Landon he wasn't walking yet, and this year he was running everywhere. He was running so much that it was hard for me to take pictures of him. And forget about getting him to look at the camera...not gonna happen! Ha! We woke up this morning and got some things done around the house and decided that we would go to the pumkin patch after Landon's nap...well little did we know that he would take a 4 hour nap--CRAZY!! At least he was well rested for all the pumpkin fun! And another bonus...the weather was gorgeous!

Landon kept trying to pick up a pumpkin and each time he would say, "uuuuhhhh" as if he was using every muscle in his body.

Landon and I rode the mini train since the hayride kept getting stuck in the mud. I was a little bummed that we didn't get to go on the hayride. After standing in a long line for 30 minutes and only moving up a few inches, I decided that it just wasn't worth it. Hopefully next year Landon will get to go on the hayride.

This picture is pure happiness...I love it!
One tuckered out little boy...even after a 4 hour nap!! What a great afternoon!

The Many Faces of Landon

I got a new camera tonight...don't know what all it does yet...but here are a few pictures that I took of Landon with it.

Grandpa Comes To Town...

My dad had to make a trip up here, so on his way home he stayed with us for the night. I'm so glad that he did too, because it has been way too long since we have seen him. I just wish that my mom could have came too. While he was here we took him to Babes for dinner...I just love that place! There was a town celebration going on, so while we waited for our table we looked around at the booths. We stopped to look at the town fire trucks and a fireman was handing out fire hats. I had to take a picture of my little fireman. Dad really enjoyed Babes, so we will definitely have to go back!
