"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, a home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten and the future worth living for."
Landon was being very secretive during his bath tonight. He has tub crayons that we draw with on a daily basis. Tonight he closed the shower curtain and told me that I wasn't allowed to look until he was finished. When he pulled back the shower curtain I saw this:
It was a wonderful surprise. I love when I see the hard work of teaching him his letters and spelling pay off. Especially when it is done in such a way like this!
Landon is growing up quickly. He's now peddling away from us! Landon has a brand new big boy bike.
We kept telling Landon that if he was on his best behavior throughout the stores, then we would show him his surprise. After doing some Halloween browsing throughout several stores we were ready to give Landon his surprise. We took him to the store to pick out his bike. Buzz was his bike of choice. Kevin and I knew from the very beginning that Landon would be coming home with a Buzz bike so we scouted out a store that had it in stock.
Landon was having some trouble peddling at first, but once we properly inflated the tires he took off! I can't believe that his tricycle days are over with. Soon he'll be pulling out of the driveway in a real car instead of his Power Wheels car!
Landon was helping Daddy assemble the front tire while Mommy was assembling the most important parts...the decorations!
Landon is obsessed with Toy Story. It also looks like Woody will be his Halloween costume choice. I tried showing him some other options, but Landon was adamant about being Woody. So it looks like we'll have a little cowboy for Halloween. I was secretly hoping for a cutesie costume...a dinosaur, lion, something along those lines. I knew we had years of character costumes and was trying to persuade Landon into choosing a cutesie costume, but he was having none of it. He wants to be Woody and we can't change his mind!
Landon, also known as "Landon Love" or "Love Bug" is our pride and joy. Landon is incredibly loving and is always giving the best hugs and kisses. Landon knows that he is adorable and uses it to his advantage. He knows the exact moment to flash his smile so that he is no longer in any trouble. Landon loves playing Candy Land, playing hide and seek, riding his bike and playing with Tinkerbell. His current favorite shows are Super Why, Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Caillou. He is obsessed with animals, Cars, and super heroes. Raising Landon these past three years has been quite an adventure and we couldn't imagine life without him.
Amanda
These days I am best known as "Mommy". I am a snot wiper, boo boo kisser and a boogy monster chaser. I am a chef, a teacher, a nurturer and a comforter. I love taking daily walks, playing at the park with Landon and just enjoying my life as a mom. If by chance I happen to get a spare moment, then I enjoy filling that time by baking, reading, and scrapbooking. I live a very simple life that revolves around Landon and I would have it no other way.
Kevin
Kevin is an amazing dad to Landon. He loves to play with Landon and read to him. Kevin enjoys spending his free time relaxing on the couch while watching ESPN, reading an occasional book, and cooking.
Tinkerbell
We consider Tinkerbell our first born. She is an absolutely adorable Pomeranian. Tinkerbell acts like a third parent to Landon and even barks when Landon is doing something that he should not be doing to get our attention. She is so loving and gentle to Landon, even when he is rough and tough with her. We couldn't ask for a better dog for Landon to grow up with.
