Bumps, Bruises, and Bath Time...



Landon has had a rough few days in the bumps and bruises department. Thankfully, nothing that needed more than a little TLC...I can handle that! It all began when he was playing in his room with David and tripped and hit his ear on the edge of his table. His ear now has a bruise on it....I didn't know that your ear could bruise?!?! We think he may have popped a blood vessel in it because it's fairly large and dark blue. Later that day we went to Academy Sports and he smashed his finger in the shopping cart. Nothing too serious but it swelled up a bit and the nail bed turned blue. Finally, the next day he was running through the kitchen and clipped his head on the pointy edge of the counter...sigh. And it was on the same side that his bruised ear was on! Poor little guy! Thankfully he had his 3 year check-up last week, otherwise, his pediatrician might have been suspicious of all his bumps and bruises! Ha!
On a totally different note...Landon had a fun time in the bathtub pretending to be Santa!
So silly!

This little boy fills my heart with so much happiness and I feel so blessed to be his mommy.

Happy Weekend

I'm so glad it's the weekend, and I'm super excited about the spring like weather expected for the weekend, too! We don't have much planned, so we'll be spending lots of time outside.
I recently started packing Landon's breakfast in his lunchbox and letting him take it to Ms. Shawn's house to eat, and it has made our mornings so much easier.
He gets to sleep about 15 minutes later and he is excited to carry his lunchbox each morning. He is always curious about what I have packed for him. :)

Doesn't he look like such a big kid?!?

Love

Happy Valentine's Day!

David and I celebrated Valentine's Day Saturday night. We got a babysitter and enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Mi Cocina with three other couples. It wasn't romantic as most V-Day dinners are, but we had a great time none-the-less. So very thankful for great friends!

One of my students gave me the stuffed bear that Landon is holding and he has been hugging on it since we've been home!

"Cheese!"
We hope you are having a Happy Valentine's Day!

Fingers Crossed

It looks like another snow storm is on its way and I have to admit that my fingers are crossed for another snow day(s)!! My favorite weather man, Pete Delkus, said that he would "be shocked if there was school on Wednesday." So, tonight I'm not packing lunches, laying clothes out, or working on school stuff...and it feels great!
I had to put this pic of Landon laying around in his cowboy boots, because last week during our snow days he would snuggle up under a blanket with his boots on! Silly boy!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Landon!

Happy 3rd Birthday to the sweetest little boy I know!! Three years ago this little ray of sunshine was brought into our lives and we couldn't have been more thankful for his healthy arrival. I was really hoping to get out of the house today for a fun lunch to celebrate, but I'm not so sure that is going to happen with this crazy weather. Although we may be stuck inside the house today, I am going to do whatever I can to make sure that this little boy feels super special today. Last night I told him that his birthday was in the morning and he said, "Again?" Ha!! He must be so confused since we have been celebrating for the past couple of weeks.
Happy 3rd Birthday, Landon!!

SNOW!!

So we are on day #4 of NO SCHOOL due to icy roads and snow!! I'm loving every minute of being cooped up with my favorite little guy!! Too bad David isn't here with us to partake in the fun....he is helping out a friend with his business to prepare for the Super Bowl.
We woke up to snow, about 6 inches give or take! I couldn't wait for it to stop snowing so that Landon and I could go play in it. Last year Landon didn't like the snow, however, this year was very different...YEAH!! He had a blast playing in it!
He also had a blast eating it!!


He was so proud of his snow angel.




We warmed up with some hot chocolate when we came back in,
then we got cooled off with some snow ice cream....yummy!!
I'm sure am thankful that Mother Nature gave me this unexpected time off to enjoy my sweet boy just before his birthday!!

Fort Worth Stockshow and Rodeo

On Sunday, we put on our cowboy boots and headed to the stock show and Rodeo. We have taken Landon to the stock show the last two years, but this was his first year to go the rodeo.
My little cowboy had to put his cell phone in his pocket...he didn't want to miss an opportunity to get a cute little little cowgirls phone number! Ha!
We took Landon on a few rides soon after we got there, and he loved this big slide!! As soon as they stood up Landon said, "Let's do it again!"


Landon really enjoyed the rodeo. I was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to sit through the whole rodeo, but he did! We even had to bribe him with popcorn so that he would leave his seat to go to the restroom, and he typically loves to check out bathrooms wherever we go, so it was not at all normal for him to turn down a trip to the bathroom! Ha!!
Checking out some big equipment.


He was asleep within minutes of getting into the car. Between his birthday party the day before and the rodeo he was super tired!
