Christmas Program

Landen is a new man!:)lol He started preschool at ABC child care in McKinleyville and it has just made him blossom! He loves it there, loves his teacher (debbie roberson), loves his surroundings and Nick and I love it just as much! I hunted and hunted for preschool and couldn't be happier with it there:) So teacher debbie had them sing some christmas carols and open gifts and read letters from Santa! It was lots of fun to go to my FIRST program as a mommy and I CAN'T WAIT for many more to come and I wont be missing any of them!!:)

Christmas Tree

We went and got our tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving cause I was anxious to get our house decorated for Landen. He had lots of fun and found a tree for his room. (I will get pictures up of his tree cause it's very cute). He did a great job helping us look for trees! I am very excited for this christmas because of Landen's age! He is understanding all of what it is about and wants all Cars presents. He also want a New Pooh Bear, but I'm trying to get him weaned from that so I think I will just wash a good one and wrap it up for him:) Anyway, I hope everyone is getting ready for xmas and is having a good holiday season!! Happy Holidays!!!

End of Summer

So I lost my charger for my camera I haven't been able to take any pictures for a couple months. We have been using my moms and I finally got it from her to put the pictures on the computer. These were from the end of summer time and this is what Landen's weekends are all about; mowing with Pa and being a little farmer john

I am absolutely loving this age right now!!!!! I love everything about it! Such as: being potty trained, more independent (but still needs his mommy to cuddle:)), talking so much more (which is so funny the things he comes up with), trying things that he sees us do, being more outgoing in crowds and singing songs with us!:) I'm just loving it all:)

Tractors...

My little Landen is just in love with tractors!!! Specifically "John Deere Tracs" in which he likes to call them:) He goes to bed everynight and wakes up every morning and asks me at least 5 times a day to go to Ma'amas house and ride his John Deere Trac...he loves being out on the property and "farming". He scoops up Belle's horse poop, fills their water, mows the grass, and is a little farmer. I can't believe how grown up he is and how big he is getting! He is talking so much more and better, and he is getting so independent. I am loving his age, but it's very bitter sweet.
I have been wanting to get his pictures done for a long time and here are the results:) They turned out great I think. I am very thankful to Anna for capturing my little Landen perfectly!!!! I know these pictures will be forever cherished.

Blogging overload...

Here is my 3rd and last blog...


We went to Konocti finally this year which we do every year. This year we went to Toby Keith! He was awesome! I was disappointed with two things...he only sang one slog song and he didn't do an encore. He was really funny though and I liked his show. Landen fell asleep on the mom's lap during Jack Ingram but who wouldn't??? He sucked:) Then during Toby Keith Landen had lots of fun and danced, clapped and yelloe "whoo hoo" it was precious. We also got to go in Auntie and Unc's new boat!!!!!!! I haven't been on a ski boat or on the lake since like freshman year or so! It brought back my childhood of being on Wiskeytown lake every weekend. I loved every minute of it! and landen loved it too. It took him a while to warm up to being on the boat in the water. He loved playing on the boat when it was on the trailer and my moms house but when it got in the water it was a feeling he has never felt (something floating on water) so he was a little tense. He didn't like when we took of at the start and would "pop a wheelie" but the second day we went out he was great! So here are some pictures of our weekend:)

Humboldt County Fair 2009

Every year I look forward to going to the county fair and now that I have Landen I look forward to every year seeing the change from last year such as the rides he goes on and how he reacts. Last year he went on the cars and train. This year he went on the train but half way through tried to get off because it was "too slow" for him and he said he wanted to go fast. So he rode the cars again and moved up to the airplanes:) We took Connor and Lucas with us and I enjoyed every minute of it!!!!!! I love being with those three boys together because it is actually easier with Landen when he had a play mate and Connor and Lucas are great boys they aren't even a problem:) We also went to the horse races for a couple hours where the boys too a nap while I got to watch a couple races.

Salyer aka Heaven

I just realized I never posted pictures from our Salyer trip. It was amazing! It was very relaxing and fun. We went with another family which are kind of new family friends and we sure had a great time with them...Lots of laughs and relaxation! Landen also started jumping off the diving board when we were there and swam pretty good with a life jacket on!
Thank you so much for the McCullough family for allowing us to have the opportunity to stay there! You guys have made it so comfortable and beautiful now if I just had the money to buy it:)
