Trick-or-Treat

Landon had fun trick-or-treating in his tiger costume.  He ate his first KitKat and a sucker.  Mommy said no, but was over ruled by everyone else!!  We had a lot of fun just hanging out with our families and enjoying Landon!

We have a picture of Landon screaming with Katie last year too!!!  Look to the right and you will see it....hahaha  

Peek-a-boo!

Sad news...

Hey everyone.  We haven't posted in a while, but wanted to let you know what was going on in our lives.  A few weeks ago, we found out that we were expecting again.  We were ecstatic that it happened naturally and I was not on fertility medication.  I had a few complications at the beginning, but they went away for a good two weeks.  During those two weeks we thought everything had straightened up, but this last Thursday, the complications returned again.  Sunday night was not good at all, and when I went in to the doctor Monday morning, we found out that I had lost the baby.  I was about 6 1/2 weeks.  We are  very sad, because we were excited for Landon to be a big brother, but yet again, God has shown us His plan is bigger than ours!!  We trust in Him and know that He is watching over us.  At the same time, we are very anxious for what lies ahead of us.

We hope and pray this is not a sign of problems down the road, because more than anything we want to grow our family, but only time will tell.

On a happy note, Landon is getting so big.  He says NO (haha), hot, ball, dada, bye, momma, and more.  His vocabulary is growing each and every day.  He loves the word 'outside' but is still working on saying it!  :o)  His new thing is dancing and spinning in circles.  He even taps his foot now.  It is hilarious!!  In the video he is dancing to song on one of his toys.

13 months and walking!!!

So, this afternoon was an interesting and exciting one.  Jacy and I have been working with Landon on his walking.  We knew he could do it, but he just needed to gain the confidence.  Landon and I were playing in his room and out of no where he decided to walk to me.  Jacy came in his room to see, and Landon walked back and forth from Jacy to me about 10 times.  You could tell he was so proud of himself!  After playing, he decided he was going to walk all over the house.  We had so much fun tonight watching Landon walk from point A to point B.

He also decided while he was walking, he was going to kick his ball at the same time.  I think he is moving a little too quickly....  :o)

Our little politician!!

Landon and I were running errands the other day, and we stopped to have some lunch.  We were sitting there waiting on our food, and Landon was just talking up a storm.  He loves to wave and talk to everyone, and I mean everyone, who walks past him.  There was a sweet older man and his wife sitting beside us that day.  We got to talking, and he kept saying how precious Landon was, but he also said unfortunately, he thought Landon was going to be a politician when he gets older because he likes to talk so much.   I said, "Well, he does come by it honestly.  His mother loves to talk also"!

This is the way we brush our teeth...

The after party....

I think we all had too much fun on the "kids" slide.  The night of the 31st we all gathered again to get wet in the water.  Check it out.....

The End!

Landon's 1st Birthday!!

Wow...as we look back at the past year of our life, we are just amazed how God works and continues to work in our lives.  He has given us the opportunity to become parents, and we are so blessed to have Landon with us each and every day!  We give praise and thanks to the Lord, for he is good!!!  Psalm 106: 1-3

As we celebrated Landon's 1st birthday on Saturday, we also celebrated the fellowship with our friends and families.  We are so thankful to have them close by, and for Landon to spend time with people that love him unconditionally!

When you think of July and how hot it is, we thought water activities would be the best thing to do for his birthday party.  The little guys and girls (sweet Kylee) played in the baby pool and the big kids played on the blow up water slide.  It was so much fun to see the kids on the water slide.  Dad McCullough was filming in front of the slide, paying no attention, so he got completely soaked standing in front of the  slide....It was too funny!

Landon/mom and dad (haha) opened so many fun toys and now we need a bigger house just to store the toys!!!  Every new gift we opened that is the one Landon wanted to play with.

When it was cake time, he wasn't all that interested.  He stuck his finger in the icing a few times, but I guess he like to have clean hands like his momma!

Learning to walk

Landon got this cute little lion walker the other day and absolutely loves it. He does such a great job learning to walk with it. No face plants yet, so I am hoping we can keep it that way!!!! He will stand for aboutt 15 seconds on his own, but when he starts to fall he just goes to his crawling position. He doesn't think to take a step yet, so we are still working on it! :o)

Memorial Day weekend

I was just looking through our camera and realized I have not put up all the pics from Memorial Day weekend. We had so much fun going to the Henderson's bay house with everyone. Landon was so good, and it was nice to just sit and relax.

We all took a boat trip from Matagorda to Port O'Conn0r to visit with the Pierces. It took us about an hour and ten minutes by boat, and Landon LOVED the boat ride. It actually put him to sleep on the way to Port O.

Children's Museum

We had so much fun hanging out with our friends at the Children's Museum in Houston on Monday. Landon enjoyed playing with Jaxson and all the other kids that were there. He loved going in the tunnel the most and spinning this big, colorful wheel they had. He also had a blast on the little car that he liked to "drive". Landon has this OBSESSION with driving, especially on Me Maw and Paw Paw's QUV! It is too cute!

We are pushing 11 months, and growing strong. Landon is crawling at top speed and pulling up on everything!!!! Slowly but surely Landon is getting in more teeth. His fifth tooth just broke the skin. He weighs almost 19 pounds and can eat like it's going out of style! He loves to click his tongue, and talks all the time (just like his momma!!!). We can't believe we are planning his one year old birthday party.
