Sweet Berry Farm

Today we ventured to Marble Falls, TX for a family field trip. Katie, Khai, and Andrew met us at Sweet Berry Farm so that we could get some good pictures of the boys in the pumpkin patch, but we ended up doing more than just that. First, we let the boys get acquianted with the local goats. Landon had fun feeding them grass and letting them nibble on his hands. Then, he went to pet the horses. He continued making his "horse noise" for some time afterward. After the animals, we piled onto the trailer for our "private" hayride. I say "private" because we were the only people on the hayride. The ride took us to the other side of the farm where they have rows and rows of beautiful flowers and scarecrows dressed up in different settings (for example: the fisherman, the hunter, etc.) They also had more goats and chickens on this side. The lovely Texas heat started to beat down on us, so we headed back to the other side of the farm where we got homemade pumpkin ice cream and homemade strawberry popsicles. They were delicious. The trip ended with a great lunch at The Bluebonnet Cafe. We are already looking forward to going to Sweet Berry Farm next fall!

Landon-13 months old!

Landon is officially past the one year mark and well onto his second year of life! The biggest accomplishment of this month was the start of school. Landon started school last week and he is doing great so far. There were definitely tears (from Landon and Kristen) and there are still tears, but overall he is having fun. Landon loves spending his time outdoors. Any chance he gets he is grabbing his shoes (which he calls "sssues") and heading for the door. He especially likes playing in the hose and with rocks. His vocabulary is booming these days! Some of our favorite words to hear him say are: shoes, keys, juice, Kate Kate, kitty cat, Halle, and of course his animal noises for dog, monkey, cow, sheep, and the newest pig and chicken. We are looking forward to the next adventures! Times are never dull around here!
