3 Year Anniversary, Summer Photos and Happenings

3 years ago today I married my best friend and soul mate! We have had the most amazing love story that only our awesome God could create. It has been tough but wonderful. We grew up, started our careers, served God through lots of fun community service and leading youth and groups in our churches, moved across the country and back, got two wonderful dogs, and had our sweet little miracle son Landon James. I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for the rest of our lives together. James is the best husband and Daddy in the whole world. He takes such amazing care of LJ and I and of course the dogs adore him. :o) Landon is so lucky to have such an amazing husband and father as a role model. I am so blessed to be able to spend my entire life with James and can't wait to grow our little family in the next few years. Below are some shots of the last couple of weeks in Texas. I have not gotten any pics of our MOPS group, the Kinder Moms group, lots of couples with young kids we have been hanging out with, or his KinderMusik class. We have made so many wonderful friends here in New Braunfels. It is the best place to raise our family and we are so thankful to be here! I am going to begin volunteer work for the United Way and start teaching tennis lessons in the evenings when James gets home from work in August and cannot wait. It's a hundred degrees here so we are off to the pool with some of our mom and baby friends. Tonight James and I are heading to Gruene to the Gristmill and then to Gruene Hall for some live music. We still have not left Landon lol...so second cousin Sarah (I was the flower girl in her parent's wedding...cousins Butch and Karen...they are the sweetest family ever) is coming over to stay with him after he's in bed. She is wonderful and we are excited for her to babysit more when I am finally more comfortable leaving him in a few months. :o) Hopefully Landon will sleep his normal 12 hours tonight as tomorrow is our fun Kindermusik class and also our playdate with lots of moms and kids to the Children's Museum which is supposed to be amazing here...can't wait!

Landon loves pulling Daisy's floppy lips and playing 'patties' with her. :o)


Just got our top teeth in but love chewing on the teething gel more than putting it on our gums :o)



LJ's new float for the river/pool but he found it when we were in process of blowing it up :)




Samson is truly LJ's favorite best buddy!


Bath with Daddy is still our favorite time ever! Daddy writes Mama and Landon sentences every evening with the foam letters!




Landon with Grand Godmother Patsky...he loves her! We had lunch at Red Lobster last week...such a blast!
I try to cut up little fruits for LJ but still no luck...no thanks Mom pureed stuff please ;) he just plays with it and squishes it in his patties...so sweet
Above this one...Landon loves taking the top off his block bin and crawls all over the house with it!
Above... after getting door stopper off...so proud
.
strong guy about to tear off door stopper...don't worry grandmas i was supervising the whole time :o)
.
The only food he'll eat that is not pureed is watermelon...he thinks it is so good!

Father's Day at Pedernales Falls...such a pretty hike and the dogs loved swimming with us!

Our little family minus Daisy May who was kissing the photographer :oP

Aunt Sandy dancin with LJ at cousin Michael's concert at Schlitterbahn...he loves music and dancing and his Grand Nana!


With Michael's grandma...he knows a fun grandma when he sees one :)


With cousin Matthew (don't worry Mom we didn't let him drink the Coke...just cooled off by holding the bottle :)




Grand Nana gave LJ nacho cheese just like a fun grandma should...much better than all of that organic fruit and veggie stuff ;)


Cousin Michael's band...they are amazing! Comparable to Pat Green! Can't wait till he hopefully gets to play at Gruene Hall later in the summer!!!

Landon with Cousin Tim's wife Sarah...one of his favorite people in the whole world! Sarah is SO good with him and he thinks she hung the moon! :o)

Above is at Michael's concert again...sorry out of order and they would not face upright for some reason :)

Another one of LJ's favorite buddies...Cousin Butch! He loves laughing and chillin with him. :)

Landon and his great grandpa Papaw at cousin Kaden's first b day in Houston. It was SO much fun! Daddy studied all the way there and back and LJ was an angel in the car. Kaden was so cute and it was a baseball theme so we had LJ in one of his many baseball outfits.

Sweet Kaden and his wonderful parents cousin Kate and John about to dig in to his cake!


Landon loves the drums but loves his Great Aunt Judy even more. Look how proud he is to be sitting with her...so adorable!

Landon playing with cousin John Alan...he is so much fun and is always super gentle and sweet with Landon.
More pics of the 4th, our date night on our anniversary, etc to come!
