Landon & His Buddy Chase

While playing outside in Santa Barbara a few weekends ago, Chase Haley came in to give his little buddy, Landon, a big hug. The look on Landon's face made me wonder whether or not he liked the hug...


Seconds later, this stare-down happened...


Unsure of what their next move was going to be, Landon let me know with a big smile, that he and Chase were "cool" and just playin' around!

...and I would walk 500 miles

Practically overnight...little man is totally a walker (and still a squawker)!

Family Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday, we joined our great friends the Garbers for some family fun out at a pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay. This place was like the Disneyland of pumpkin patches: hay rides, laser tag, pony rides, trains, haunted houses, and more! Landon (1 year) and Ella (1 month) were a little young for most of the fun, but that didn't stop us from cruisin' around, picking out pumpkins, and getting some fun fall photos! I'm pretty sure Landon is going to tear this place up next year!

When did my baby become a boy? 

Landon meeting Baby Ella for the first time! :)

My cowboys.





First family trip to the pumpkin patch: Daddy Chris, Baby Ella, and Mommy Trish :)

My lil' pumpkin




Yes (like anything else with wheels), Landon tried to push this too!

Move Week

Sean and I both took the week off of work to finish packing up our townhome & move into our new house on Nelson Way. We were able to take Landon to school each day, freeing us up to work hard without worrying about him getting in the way, or getting bored with unpacking boxes! Here's a set of pics I snapped with my phone over the last week or so. We are really really happy in our new home, and are so excited to make it our own in the coming weeks, months, years! 

Lando, textin' his peeps to tell him he's got a new address!

Landon helped a "little" bit by pushing this suitcase around the living room.

Moving truck filled up fast - we had to make 2 trips to get everything...too. much. stuff.

The empty living room & dining room at Cedarville. Many great memories in this place: we signed the contract for it just hours before Sean proposed, had our engagement party & my bridal shower here, this was our home when we got married, and the home we brought our first-born home to. :)

The colorful rug in our new family room on Nelson Way (please excuse Landon's birthday present explosion on the fireplace, that has since been organized & moved to the playroom).

On Wednesday night, we picked Landon up from school, then swooped by the townhouse to pick up one last thing: Miss Pismo! 

The kitchen was unpacked & organized first -- gotta have a functioning kitchen!

Landon's room was up next -- Little man's gotta have a place to sleep & play!

Sean building the table my parents got Landon for his playroom - so fun :)

Takin' a break from all the hard work to cruise around the neighborhood on his new bike.

We only lasted 3 days before we decided we needed to baby-proof the stone fireplace. I'm not ready for stitches yet!

Blinds were installed in all of the windows on Saturday! Happy with how they look, and happy to have privacy!

Rewarded ourselves for all of the hard work on Sunday with a fun family trip to the Pumpkin Patch out in Half Moon Bay. More pics of that adventure to come soon :)

Birthday Morning & Proof We Have a Walker

On the morning of Landon's first birthday, we woke him up with the "Birthday Bear" his Loulee & Papa (my parents) got him! He is in love with this bear, and "dances" every time the bear sings to him!


In other news...we have a walker! Landon took his first steps on Sunday (2 days before his first birthday), and surpsrised us by taking TEN unassisted steps on the morning of his birthday! This video was taken tonight...this is how little man greeted me when I came home from work! He is changing SO FAST!

Our Number One Turns One



We cannot believe that our little man is ONE. The last year has been: fast, rewarding, fun, fulfilling, exciting, exhausting, energizing, surprising, and so full of LOVE: love for Landon, love for each other, love for our family & friends (for their awesome love of Landon), and a new love for life! Someone told me recently that having children is so cool because its like everything is "new" again...and it is so true! Going to the park is WAY more exciting through the eyes of our little one...I can't wait to see what our first trip back to Disney with Landon in-tow will be like! 

I had grand plans of making his LRG Weekly into an awesome time-lapse slideshow set to music for you all to enjoy....but, life is busy, so you just get the completed album for your viewing pleasure today. You can choose the song to play as you scroll through 52 weeks of Landon!
