Countdown to turning 4!!!

Birthday Party...

I'm planning Landon's family party for August 9th. We are going to have supper and swim, like last year. I might have dinner at the house incase it's really hot outside.

Landon's Birthday Wishlist

I'm posting this because everyone keeps asking what to get Landon for his birthday. I'll try to add to it as he mentions things. Here are a few things I know so far:

1. Anything to do with the movie WALL-E. (Mike and I are buying the PS2 game for him)
2. Movies - Bob the Builder, Tom and Jerry... mostly cartoons.
3. Anything to do with Cars. He's been talking about some crash toy with Lightning.

I'm not listing the things that I have told people verbally.

I'll add more later. Keep checking for updates.

Farmer Landon

Mike spent about 12 days harvesting with a friend of ours. He invited me and the kids out to ride the tractor with him last Friday. Landon thought it was the coolest thing ever. Reese and I went home after about an hour, but he wanted to stay. I picked him up about 7 pm that night, against his will. Mike promised he could go out again the next night.
So I took him back out the next day around 6, so that he could see the combines in the dark. He called them Frank because of the Cars movie. In the movie Frank has his lights on because it's night so he really wanted to see Frank in the dark.
He couldn't get enough. Mike is planning on taking him to Venango so he can ride with Grandpa Dude.
I guess he also had a great time with the radio. He'd call the combine and say, "Hi Jennifer. I'm in the tractor." She'd respond back, "Hi Landon. I'm in the combine." This went on and on according to Jennifer. LOL. What a crazy kid.

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people (or whatever) and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Whatever you say, Landon!

The night before last, I put Landon to bed. We read a story, The Boy With The Little Toy Drum. Then I said a prayer with him, Angel of God. After the prayer, I asked him if there was anyone that he wanted God to take care of. He named Jennifer, Deon, Jenny and Jeff. I said, what about the grandparents, daddy and Reese. He agreed that God needed to take care of them too. I kissed him and hugged him and told him good night.
As I walked down the stairs I heard him say, Mommy! I walked back to his room and asked what he wanted. He said, I'll take care of you Mommy! Ahhh... thanks Landon!

After that sweet ending to bedtime, I should have known it wouldn't last. Landon woke up at 5 am the next morning. I put him back to bed. As I walked out of the room, Landon told me, I'll send the cops after you!
I said, please do. Jail would be a vacation.
