'Tis the Season

We kicked off our weekend with our first official Christmas party at my uncles house.

We also celebrated Christmas with my mom, dad, and sisters.

The holidays with this sweet face are the best!

November Update

I am so behind on blogging that I have to update for the whole month of November in one post! Not something I intended to do, however, the month FLEW by...I can't believe that it is already December!!

We flew to Albuquerque at the beginning of the month for a funeral. David's aunt passed away after a battle with cancer. She was the one of the sweetest ladies I knew and I know that her family has a difficult year ahead. My heart hurts for them.

While in Albuquerque, we got to see David's brother and his family. It was wonderful to see them, I just wish that it was under different circumstances.
Landon loved seeing his cousins.

We also attempted Christmas pictures this past month and one cute little boy wanted nothing to do with the camera!! Ha!

For Thanksgiving, we headed down to NB to see my parents and sisters. We truly have so much to be thankful for.

Landon loves his grandpa and this picture of them just makes me smile...so much happiness is in it.
Landon with Aunt Britt. Landon had fun playing with all the toys at grandma's and this little turtle is one of his favorites.

At the end of the month Landon got to spend several days with his grandma!!

David's mom came to stay with us for a few days and watch Landon and one of his little friends while David and I were at work. Landon's sitter went on a cruise, so David's mom was so sweet to take time off from her job to help us out. We are so thankful for her, she is just the sweetest. I know Landon LOVED spending some quality time with her. He is so blessed to have such a wonderful grandma!

Also, during the month of November one cute little boy found the Christmas spirit!

Sweet Words

Landon says some of the sweetest things and I just want to write some of them down so that I'll remember them. Time is flying by with him so fast and he seems to change daily. "Mommy, you so pretty."

"Mommy, you wanna play with me?"

Seriously, how can I say "no" when he is just so sweet?!?!

"No no no no no....Mommy, I love YOU!"

"Mommy, you wanna nuggle with me?"

"Mommy, you wanna talk?"

Each night after we read our books, we sit in his bed and talk. He always wants to talk about Curious George, horses, and Jesus.

Sweet boy.

Trick-or-Treat

This little Redskin had a great night of trick-or-treating. David took him to a few houses on our street, while I stayed home and handed out candy.

Yes, I know this helmet is absolutely pitiful.

I walked to a few houses with them to snap some pictures.
Landon was such a sweet little boy and always said "thank you!"

He wanted to pull the wagon rather than sit in it.

I remember last year when he didn't really understand that when you knocked on a door someone would give you candy, but this year I think he understood the concept very well! Ha! He wanted to eat his candy non-stop once he came home.

Our Weekend...

On Saturday, we enjoyed a picnic lunch while watching the local air show. The weather was gorgeous! The Blue Angels performed later in the day, however, Landon has been a bit under the weather so we didn't stay long enough to watch them.Watching airplanes.
David taught Landon how to make semi's honk!

Saturday evening, we went to a neighbors costume party for a bit. I love going to costume parties and seeing all the costumes. My favorite ones are the homemade ones!! We went as the game board Twister and I thought it turned out so cute!

A Twister Family--Landon was in no mood for pictures!
A cute Twister boy.

This grandma was so life like up close...it was sort of creepy!
The kids played organized games like Simon Says and Bobbin' for Apples outside.My cute little guy playing games.
Kitty Litter (this was supposedly very good, however, I couldn't get past the looks of it)Eye balls. I brought these tasty little cake balls...they were yummy!!

David took Landon trick-or-treating to a few of the neighbors houses this evening, so I will get some pictures of that posted within the next few days! Landon went as a Redskin football player!

I often wonder what Landon will be when he grows up to be an adult.

Maybe one day he will be a firefighter,
or an astronomer,

or a Texas Longhorn,

or a doctor.

What ever this boy grows up to be I am going to love him just the same. He is such a blessing to our lives.

Go Rangers!!

We are not huge Rangers fans around here, but it's hard not to get into all the hype that is surrounding us since they are going to the World Series.

This morning I had to put Landon in his Rangers shirt since they are playing tonight!
So, tonight we will be yelling, "GO RANGERS!!"
