Soccer

Landon had his first soccer game a couple of weekends ago! 

I think I may have been more excited than he was! 

 Landon was too busy checking everything out to pay attention to the camera.

Landon and his friend Thomas became friends instantly.  They've only been around each other just a handful of times and you'd think they had been friends forever if you saw them together.  During the game they kept hugging each other on the field!  Ha!

Aren't they cute?

 

 David is the coach of the team and he is allowed to be on the field with the kids.  Here he is telling Landon to go get the ball.

 Go Landon!

 Taking a break and watching the game.

 David giving the team a pep talk.  David is so good with these little 3 year olds.  I love watching him with them--makes me proud!

 

 Go Sweepers!!

The whole team!

It's tough getting 7 three year olds to look at the camera with 7 excited mom's trying to take a picture.  They had no idea which camera to look at!  Ha!

Santa

On Saturday, we took Landon up to my school to see Santa and eat a pancake breakfast.  Landon was super excited to sit on Santa's lap, and while we waited in line he couldn't wait to get up on his lap.

 Once it was his turn to sit on Santa's lap, he got a tab bit nervous.

 But he quickly warmed up and was all smiles.

After we made our visit to Santa we enjoyed our pancake breakfast with these sweet friends.

This little guy had a fun morning!

Traditions

The tradition for my Dad's side of the family is to celebrate Christmas the first or second Saturday after Thanksgiving.  Each year I look forward to spending the day with everyone.  We enjoy a nice lunch and then do a Chinese Christmas exchange.  I love this tradition because it's the one time a year that we are all together.

 Brittney and Granddad looking at their numbers for the gift exchange.  I'm sure they were up to no good with grins like that!

 Long before the gift exchange, Landon had already found the gift he wanted and Aunt Charley made a necklace out of it for him to wear until the exchange.  Silly boy!

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

We put up our Christmas decorations this past weekend and Landon had the best time hanging ornaments on the tree  (all in the same spot).  I moved them around once he went to bed.  :)  I didn't want to hurt his little feelings because he was so proud of his work.

 I was doing some laundry in the other room and walked into the living room to see Landon sitting on a bar stool watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.  Sweet boy!

 Such a cutie!

 Last year, we were shopping at Hobby Lobby and Landon spotted a white bird ornament that he just had to have.  So, I caved and bought it for him.  He carried it all around the house last year and when the holidays were over, I packed the white bird up with all the other ornaments.  When I took the ornaments out of the plastic bin this year, he spotted that little white bird and fell in love with it again!  He has slept with it every night since then.  Silly boy!

 This is my most favorite ornament on our tree. 

This ornament was in Logan's bed while he was in the NICU.

 Landon is at a stage where he likes having his picture taken, so he wanted one by the tree.

And one with the soldier!  :)

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in Albuquerque with David's family.  His brother and his family were there as well, so it was nice getting to spend a holiday with them.  Landon loved playing with his cousins and he was so tired and worn out at the end of each day.

 We have so much to be thankful for.

The Brewer Bunch

We had a great week spending time with family.  I think Landon is still recovering from all the fun...he slept for 13 hours our first night back at home.

Halloween

This post is long overdue, but it's better late than never!  :) 

This year we decided to raid the toy box for a Halloween costume and we came up with a construction worker.  Landon was so excited to dress up and go trick or treating.

 His goatee cracked us up!

 Ready to go.

 Silliness.

 Landon sneaking some candy to put in his tool box.

 I went to the first few houses with David and Landon then I went back home to hand out candy while the boys finished up their trick or treating.

Landon had the best time and didn't want to come home!

He was so excited to show me all of his sweet treats when he came home.  After he looked over his candy and ate several pieces he looked at me said, "Mom, tonight I saw Logan sitting on the moon and Jesus was singing Twinkle Twinkle to him."  So sweet.  He never fails to amaze me with his sweetness.

Birthday Party Fun

We went to a 1st birthday party this weekend for a sweet little boy named, TJ.  The party had a farm theme, complete with a petting zoo.  His mom did an incredible job decorating for the party...I wish I would have taken pictures of all the cute things she created but I always feel awkward taking pictures of other peoples things.  I know I should just get over it, but that's just how I feel. 

 Landon was in love with the animals in the petting zoo.  He fell in love with a particularly sweet little piglet.

 He kept telling it, "I love you, little pig."  He was so gentle and sweet with it.

 I love how he is sitting on the edge of the chair watching the little animals.

 I'm pretty sure that Landon spent more time in the petting zoo than any other child at the party. 

 He held all the other animals, but he kept going back to this little pig.  I started feeling sorry for the little thing after a while.

 Landon's little friend, Luke.

 Isn't this picture the sweetest?!?

My little country boy at heart.

TJ wasn't too sure what to do with his cake.

Fun times!
