Halloween 2009

My little monkey trick or treating at Nana and Pappy's......Landon tried to clean Nana and Pappy out (that is candles he is emptying in his bucket)....A banana for the monkey...Candice and Landon :) Coden the scary pirate! Landon was scared to death of him and wouldnt stand near him so Coden had to wash his face paint off! Ahoy Matey!!! Hunter the turtle....

Pumpkin Patch Round 2 (Im a Little Late ;)

Round 2 of the pumpkin patch was much better...this time we took my nephew Coden with us and both children had been fed, well rested, and neither of them were sick. This trip was a success!

We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch which the children loved...

Coden told me if he was taller than the 3 then he was big...when he turned around and saw he was almost at 4 he said "Aunt Roo Roo im practically a giant". :) The things we do for our kids.....I kind of look like one of the kids though....

The boys LOVED the pony rides.....
My two favorite boys that love one another very much!!!
They were in deep discussion over this "pumpkin"..

I love this little boy :)

My How Things Change

Sunday we took Landon to the pumpkin patch after church. We took him last year, but he was only 9 months old so this year i was really excited to take him! I thought i was going to get some really cute pictures and we would have the best time and laugh and giggle and play....Yeah I was wrong! A nearly 2 year old + no nap = disaster....so please keep that in mind. First of all he screamed and cried every time i tried to take a picture and at one point he even slapped my camera so hard that it closed. Second of all (thanks to my Mom) he shot all the animals with his finger and said POW POW really loud! All of these little kids were saying "oh a horse", or "look at that chicken", or "goat", all my child was saying was POW POW as he proceeded to shoot them with his fake gun! Ahh, fun times!!! It is truly amazing how things change...Last year he couldnt even walk he just grinned with 3 little teeth and smiled every time i pulled the camera out. This year he runs, has a mouth full of teeth and snarls his nose when i pull out the camera. The truth is he acts just like me...he is a miniature me that looks just like his daddy! The good news is that we are going again with the church and this time we will have a nap before hand :)

When we first got there Landon decided to pick up a pumpkin that was too big....So Daddy was going to help....which clearly wasnt what he had in mind! So on to the next thing....the next picture was taken last year at the pumpkin patch, so my main goal was to get the exact same picture so we could see how much Landon has grown.

Last year....This year.....
Last year....
This year... (Below) I love this picture because it really captures his personality. He has been walking around with his hands in his pockets lately.
I asked him if i could take a picture and this is the face i got.... Pow Powing the poor chickens....Pow Powing the goats..... HEMAYBEILL ANDTHROWTANTRUMSBUTTHIS LITTLE BOY... YES, THIS LITTLE HIGH HEEL WEARING BOY...HOLDS THE KEY TO MY HEART!!!

Who's Your Best Friend?!

MAMA!!!!! This post is going to be really short because i am extremely busy, but i wanted to share this with you. I have started asking Landon who is best friend is and he says MAMA! I know i have mentioned it before, but i just love that kid. By the way, is it just me or is it winter outside? Im just saying! Happy Monday :)
