Swimming Lessons

Landon recently finished his first swimming lessons! He loved the water and would get excited when he saw the pool. He puts his face in the water, blows bubbles, and can climb out. These pictures were taken when my mom was out for her visit

Lancaster County, PA

My mom came for a visit the end of October and into November. It was fun to have her here and show her PA. While she was here we went to Lancaster County where many Amish live. We had a fun day shopping and Kitchen Kettle Village, making pretzels, and going on a buggy ride given by a real Amish man named Jesse.

We brought a picnic lunch and played at the playground for a little while. Landon loved the petting zoo.

Trying our hand at pretzel making.
This was our buggy driver and such a sweet man. He showed us some beautiful country side and informed us of Amish culture. Below is a picture of a farm we rode by.

Housework

This is the only way I can vacuum. My mom and I found it at a thrift store for $3 and it doesn't work but he doesn't care as long as he thinks he helping me.

Happy Halloween!

If I was caught up on my posts, this would have been three different posts. But since I'm behind, this will be one long post. You'll see a Halloween Party, Trunk or Treat at the church (we ended up staying inside because that was the day it snowed), and trick or treating on Halloween night.

Do you like our costumes?

At first he wanted to stay with Daddy and get candy from his bowl.

Then he caught on.

After the Trunk or Treat, he knew what was coming!

Trick or Treating buddies.

We pushed him in his car from house to house then he got out and walked up to the doors himself.

As you can see, he picked out a dumb dumb. Suckers are his favorite. He sees a white stick and pulls it out of the bowl of candy everytime.

Yes, this is was our first snowfall of the season! This was also the day my mom flew in from UT.

The Breast Cancer 3 Day

The Sports Medicine Club from Troy's podiatry school were able to help out at the Breast Cancer Walk for the Cure back in mid October. It was a great experience for him. These walkers walk 60 miles in 3 days so you can imagine the sores that can develop. I came at the end of Troy's shift and one of the ladies he worked on was so disappointed he wasn't going to be back because she loved how gentle he was.

The walkers camp in these pink tents.

A beautiful view of the skyline.

I'm so behind.

For those of you wondering why I haven't posted in a while it's because our computer was having problems and died. We thought we'd have it up and running by now, but it's not. So yesterday Troy went and bought a new one. It's so exciting and maybe now I can upload my pictures because my memory card is full!
