Playmates Already

Landon is already being a great big brother and sharing his toys with his little sister!

Doesn't she look just thrilled to have a lap full of cars to play with?

Swimming Lessons for Landon

Landon has been taking Parent/Child swimming lessons through Buffalo Community Ed. He has been doing great! They have been just getting used to being in the water by playing games, singing songs, blowing bubbles, and playing with toys.

Darren has been going to class with Landon as I don't even own a one-piece swimsuit and I don't see myself going anywhere in public in a bikini anytime soon!

(The pool area is quite steamy and fogs up my camera lens rather quickly!)

Apple Jacks and other misc...

For anyone who has never been to Apple Jacks Orchard in Delano, you have got to go! What a fun place. Landon had a blast riding a pony, seeing roosters, goats, turkeys, and chickens. We also ate lots of yummy food (cider brats, pulled pork sandwich, apple dumpling a la mode, apple spice cupcake, and apple slush), rode the cow train, and had fun rolling down the hills by the river. They also had live music, pumpkins galore, and a corn maze that we'll save for next time. The only downside...everyone and their brother was there today due to the nice weather. What a beautiful day!

I just can't get enough of Addison's smiles lately! She is quite the flirt and loves to get my attention and coo at me. How C-U-T-E is she???

We had the privilege of watching Jackson for a few days while Loren and Ashley are in Jamaica on their honeymoon. This picture sums it up...

Landon in the middle just adoring his big cousin Jackson.

And Jackson on the right being a big goof!

I just had to add this picture...

Addison is getting stronger by the day! She surprised me by holding her head up really high for a great picture!

Mr. and Mrs. Cook

Last Saturday, October 2nd, we celebrated the long-awaited wedding of my little sister Ashley and her new husband Loren. It was a beautiful day and everything turned out perfectly! Ashley looked stunning! (Seriously like a model in a bridal magazine!!!) We had such a great time all weekend. Ashley and Loren have some crazy fun friends and I am proud to say that I was one of the last ones standing on Saturday night. Pretty good coming from someone who hasn't had more than two drinks in over two years! Darren's mom Susan was able to come and help out with the kids, so that made the weekend go much smoother for us.

Hopefully I will have more pictures to come soon. Being a matron of honor, I didn't have a chance to take as many pictures as I normally would have. I got a chance to take a sneak peek at some of the photographer's shots and they are WONDERFUL! I can't wait to see the rest.

Ashley and Loren are now in Jamaica for the week and we have the little man Jackson here with us for a few days. Landon and Jackson are having a blast playing together. I am enjoying my last week at home with the kiddos before I have to go back to work next Wednesday. Boo hoo!
