A couple of Landon's favorite things...

#1. Corn on the Cob

Landon amazes me at how well he eats corn on the cob. He'll sit and work on the thing until just about every kernel is gone.#2. Bridges

Landon LOVES bridges. After our walk today I let Landon play on this bridge. He went back and forth over the bridge for at least 20 minutes. He would have loved to keep playing, but I had to drag him to the car so we could get home for lunch.

The Great Outdoors!

This last weekend we went camping for the first time with Landon at the South Yuba River campground. It probably wasn't the best time to take Landon to live in the woods with him still being a bit wobbly, especially on uneven ground, but we still had fun. Well...at least I had fun..and I think Landon did too (He likes anything that has to do with being outside), but Ryan on the other hand has to have PERFECT conditions to have fun camping. This last weekend was a a little too warm and the mosquitoes wouldn't leave him alone, so he is now telling me that he won't go camping with me anymore. Not a huge deal since we only go camping maybe once a year anyway, but it is still kind of sad. I treasure the memories I have camping with my family when I was young. I will miss the good dutch oven food, sitting by the camp fire late at night, waking up to the birds chirping, and the feeling of freedom that comes from escaping from the busy world. Hopefully someday Ryan will change his mind, but for now I will enjoy the things that we both like to do.....We just purchased some mountain bikes so I'm really looking forward to trying them out. I've already found about 10 trails that look to be quite fun. Hopefully Landon likes it.

My little boy is growing up...

Landon turned 1 yesterday. We had an exciting day full of going to the park, seeing zoo animals, riding on a dragon train, playing with cousins, opening presents, and eating dragon cake. Landon's favorite book is called Dizzy Dragon, hence the reason for the cake. His favorite animal at the zoo was the goats. These goats loved attention and didn't mind if it was in the form of grabbing at their noses and pulling their hair. I think Landon's finger even went in their nostrils a few times.
