Labor Day Weekend


We had a busy weekend, but had a good time.

Friday night we went to eat at Hibachi Rock in Allen. Landon tried eating with chopsticks, and actually picked up a couple things it was cute. His favorite is the tofu from the soups. He also ate several onions from the hibach

Saturday was the first A&M football game. We were excited and got our A&M shirts on. We took Landon to Grandma and Pops house, and told him he would get to see Doug, Dave and Tracy. He was very excited, but he thought he was going to get to go with us. He asked Grandma multiple times about him going to the soccer game (we're still working on the difference between football and soccer). He did get to go to Gymboree with Grandma and Aunt Cindy though, and sounds like they had fun.

The game was not great at all. It was pretty hot prior to the game, and the Aggies didn't play very well. I guess there is room for improvement. We got home about 1:45am after the evening game, but we were able to sleep in some on Sunday.

Sunday night I got to have a fun girls night out. A sorority sister from college just moved in to the area so we had a good reason to get together. We had dinner at Mi Cosina and then went to get some ice cream. We had a good time talking and catching up. Here is a picture.













Monday we tried to sleep in some, but Landon got up about 7:40am. At least that's when we heard him. Greg said he was sitting at the top of the stairs so he might have been up for a little while. I had another night of waking up about 2:50am and didn't go back to sleep until after 5am.

We had Grammy and Gramps over for a cookout and to hang out. Greg cooked burgers, BBQ chicken and salmon on the grill. Landon got to play outside with a sprinkler toy that Grammy brought over. He also helped make dessert, corn and helped Daddy grill. With the dessert he got to do the eggs which made a mess, but he had a good time. Everything was great and we enjoyed it.

Monday night we went to a restaurant near us called Brio. I think we were all still kind of full from lunch, but we went anyway. We brought home at least half of our meals. There was a couple there that as they left they came by to comment on how behaved Landon was. I think we were a little surprised since Landon kept wanting to get up and didn't want to eat much. It's still nice to hear something like that from strangers.

When we go to restaurants Landon wants to pay the bill he'll give the bill with credit card to the waitor or waitress. He enjoys it, and they usually respond well and bring the bill back to him. Today the lady asked for his ID (because our credit cards say check ID).

Landon also likes having mints after dinner like we do. I usually share my mint with him and he seems to enjoy that. On the way home he was talking about the sun going down and it getting dark, and he said the sun goes down and the moon comes up. I was pretty impressed that he knew that.

Kasey is doing well. She seems to move more and more, but no one else has gotten to see or feel her move. I'm kind of sad about that, but there is still time. When she moves around it doesn't last very long so it's harder to get others to feel or see.

This afternoon we tried keeping Landon up later since he has to stay up past 2:30 tomorrow for school. He was ok, but then didn't want to go to bed. He ended up sleeping at the top of the stairs after I came downstairs to take a nap myself.
