Getting Ready for Summer!

Summer time is almost here and I am getting ready. I love going swimming and Mommy tells me we are going to do a lot of that in Costa Rica. Apparently I will get to see the ocean and thebeach for the first time. We have looked at lots of pictures and I am really excited. I have been practicing swimming in the bath tub and diving for hidden treasure. Here are a few pictures of my newest talent!

It's a Tough Life!

Well - birthday time means picture time in my house. Mommy always takes me to have pictures done around my birthday. This year was a little late - but not forgotten. Mommy took me for my 4 year old photo shoot. I had a lot of fun - espcially when I got to put on my Superman and Batman costumes! Mommy said I did a really good job and she liked the pictures. It didn't take long for her to go home and put one on her computer. She added some of her favorites to the photo slider at the bottom of the blog page, so make sure and check them out!

I quickly learned during my photo shoot that being a model is a tough life. Sit here. Stand here. Wardrobe change. Go here. Lean there. Smile big -no not that big. Look here. Wardrobe change. Sit here. Put your hand over there. Cross your legs. Straighten your back. Wardrobe change. Then we had to pick the pictures we liked. Exhausting!!!

All that work was worth it though - I got to go to my favorite store in the mall (well, maybe my second favorite since mommy didn't take me to the bouncy place). I got to walk to the Cookie Booth and get my favorite sugar cookie with sprinkes. This time was extra special though - no stroller and I got to ride the escalator like a big boy! Mommy didn't even stand on the same step as me! The best part of all, jumping off at the end!

Oh yes - paper copies of my pictures are coming soon so do not fret! And if you don't get enough paper copies, mommy has the disk and you can order more!!!

GQ - here I come!

What's a Redneck???

This morning I got to go back to school after being out sick all week. Mommy was fixing my lunch and I wanted to have Batman Spagheetios with my sandwich. She helped me find a small bowl with a lid that would fit in my lunchbox. We filled up and packed it away. Then mommy went to get ready. I was hungry so I grabbed the Spaghettios can and a spoon and had some breakfast. When I walked into mommy's bathroom eating Spaghettios from a can, mommy said "My - we are having a Redneck moment."

What's a Redneck????

I turned 5!!!!

I finally made it to 4 & 5! Although there were times Mommy wasn't sure I would make it - I did!!! I had a monkey birthday party at a Wildlife Ranch that is the home of many retired circus monkeys and Joey.

This is Joey and he is almost 2 years old. He lives with Miss Kathy in her house at the ranch. He wears little boy clothes and diapers - just like I did when I was 2! He is lots of fun and adventurous just like me!

For my birthday party, I had lots of my family come to Dripping Springs to help me celebrate. I had 3 great grandparents there and even a little cousin that has yet to make her presence known in our world! (Aunt Becky is due in about a month and Sarah Michelle can come to my next birthday party in person!) And everyone in between.

At my party we had lots of fun! We made a monkey craft, ate monkey tails and monkey munch for dinner. I got to play on the playground for a little while too! Then we played Pin the Monkey on the Palm Tree with all my cousins - the ones that are born that is. And we had a big monkey cake too! At the end we had a monkey pinata. I had a little trouble finding it as it was swinging around just like in the jungle. A little peeking never hurt though! We had a really fun day!

At the end of the day I was very tired and ready for bed. I got to spend the night at the ranch with Mommy and Daddy in the Cabana. I had no problems falling asleep with Superman by my side!

So all in all that was my 4th Birthday!!!

Then the following week Mommy told me it was birthday - again!!!

Mommy made me some Happy Birthday Jello to take to school. I really liked the jello and so did the other kids in my class.

After school, I got to meet Micah and Meagan (two of my cousins) at the bouncy place after school! It was nice for mommy to make sure that we had the place to ourselves - at least for a few minutes before any other kids came! We had such a great time bouncing and sliding.

When we left there, I got to pick where I wanted to eat dinner. I choose The Choo Choo Train Place. They have a train track hanging from the ceiling and I love to watch the train go round! I had a great day!

Now when people ask how old I am - I proudly tell them I am 5! I had two birthdays so that makes me 5 by my count!!!

OK - So mommy's quiet week quickly turned into a busy week and she forgot all about my blog. I kept telling her that I have "people" and that those "people" want to know about my happenings. She just doesn't understand what its like to be so cute and adventurous.

Well - mommy is back (at least for today) and I am going to get you updated on all the happenings in Landry's world!
