Halloween 2009!

We had a wonderful Halloween with Landon! The weather was beautiful and Landon was starting to understand the concept! He really got into "twicker tweat" this year! I had planned for him to be Buzz Lightyear but he REFUSED to wear the costume.

However, he was REALLY excited to be a football pwayer.

Humoring mommy by saying "cheese" for the camera! (Just so that he could go do something else!)

But sometimes, a football player just has to play other sports too! He likes to keep his sporting options open.... (don't know why it won't let me center all of these pics--sorry!)

The boys are just beginning to learn what a girl's moods are all about!

The first house they went to "twicker tweat"

At first, Landon walked up to this to figure out what it was...

...and then he started backing up!

Playing catch...or not so much(not his best night!)

Landon's 1st house....and it didn't go exactly as planned!

A Visit from Gwanpa & Gwanma

This past weekend, grandpa & grandma Druyvesteyn came to visit! We had a lot of fun! Here are a few photos:

Landon opening a present that I think grandpa later regretted giving to Big L: a book that Landon only wanted "gwanpa" to "wead!"

Landon LOVED this book!

Again with the book....

Landon then took some time to relax....

Then, he was "gwanma's" helper to make whipped cream!

He enjoyed being the official tester too!

On Saturday, we had an early Thanksgiving with Landon's great grandmother, great aunt, and second cousin from Wichita Falls! For this picture, he was too "partied out" and was taking a nap!

Great grandma's walker was a BIG hit!

Later, Landon helped gwanpa on the 'puter.

We went to a little carnival! (No pictures from that though--a little too hectic! Landon knocked heads with a little girl in the bounce house and then life as we know it was over....UNTIL, the girl's father gave Landon his first ever candy bar! It goes without saying that was a BIG hit!)

Riding the "twain" in Fort Worth--something Landon has still not stopped talking about!

No day would be complete without a little bit of golf...

Hangin' with grandma

Just one of the times grandpa read this book!




Of course, Big L needed a dance break!



Golfing, of course!

Pumpkin Patch!

I would like to say that our day at the Pumpkin Patch was a wonderful day...but it wasn't. Well, it didn't start off that way anyway. He was definitely getting in touch with his inner "twoness." This picture perfectly shows how our day started (note the lip):

But, after SEVERAL meltdowns, a time-out, and a strict talking to by mommy, things turned around and we DID have a fun day! Here are some better, not-pouty pictures!

On the hayride(or the "twactor")....which HAD to be accompanied by snacks, of course!



No, it is NOT easy to get two 2 year olds to look at you at the same time!

I think that he could have done this all day!


It was a pretty warm day so I changed Landon's shirt! We also went to the Pumpkin Patch next door so that he could ride some "wides."

This one didn't have someone working the ride yet so Landon wasn't going to let that stop him!

We finally got into the ride legally!

Waiting not so patiently for someone to operate this ride....

He hopped right into this "big bucket" (as he called it!) with this little girl!

Landon loves Jaime!

Landon had fun on his pony ride!

I'm not sure what this ride was but he liked it!

3 tired, zoned out kids on the way home!

Some bounce house fun....(commentary provided by Brittany!!!!)

It turned out to be a great day despite Landon's rocky beginning. Good times, good friends!
