Fun in a pail

I can't get over how much I have been laughing at Landon lately. He just cracks me up. So Wednesday night we were outside on our patio chatting and Landon came running from the front of the house and told me he wanted to take his shorts off since he had gotten them wet (I think because he peed outside and didn't aim very well, but I am not positive). So, I figured since we were in the backyard he could just run around in his undies. Then he discovered the sprinkler over by our garden and he was begging for me to turn it on. So, what the heck, I did! It was so comical watching him get hit by a drop of water (literally a drop) and scream and come running back by us. So, this eventually was getting old, and he was pretty wet by this time, so he decided to climb up on the dirt pile we have by the patio. SO, wet feet, pile of dirt, you know what his feet looked like. It was time to eat and I had to clean off his feet, so Luke had two five gallon pails of water sitting on the patio, PERFECT! I will dip Landon's feet in the bucket and clean them off. WRONG! He had to sit in the bucket and pretend he was taking a bath. I have to say it was so funny, the pictures just don't justify how much fun he was having in a pail! Here are some pictures that sort of tell the story. I guess it was just cheap entertainment for us!

Landon's new little smile he does!

Gotta love it!

A Little Soggy

What a soggy weekend! My Mom had won tickets from the radio to go to Country Jam in Eau Claire on Saturday to sit on stage with Joe Nichols. We were so excited. Luke also won 2-three day passes to Country Jam from his employer. So Luke and I went on Thursday night to see Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts. Wasn't too bad, other than I had one or two beers too many. We skipped going on Friday so we could take Landon to the County Fair, which he loved the Llamas and the bunnies. So, Saturday my Mom, Luke, Todd, and I all pack up and head to Eau Claire to get good parking and not feel rushed. It was an extremely warm day and we were enjoying ourselves. 5:00 rolls around and Mom and I head up to the stage. We couldn't believe how close we really were. We were having a good time until about the 4th song and they announced that we had to get off the stage because there was lightning. So, we get off the stage and people are running. Literally running as the rain drops got bigger. We stop at the k102 booth to get a poncho (not sure why since I was already practically soaked). We went to our lawn chairs and then tried to find the boys who were in the beer tent with the thousands of other people. It was crazy. We wedged our way into the beer tent, but the wind was horrible, and we were still getting soaked so we ended up by the mixed drink booth under a little lean to deal. It wasn't horrible since we were out of the wind. Luke was texting me and said he was bar tending in the tent as Mom and I are standing in ankle deep water and it was only getting deeper. I was pissed since Luke was bone dry and I was literally drenched. About an hour and half later, two inches of rain later, the concerts resumed. Clay Walker was great and then it was Carrie Underwood. She was okay, but we were so full of mud that we left early since cars were having to be towed out of the parking lot. It was nasty. All in all it was a good time and we really do just laugh about it now. Here are a couple of photos:

Don't we look cute! Todd, Me, Luke & Mom

This weekend brings me to my 10 year class reunion. Hopefully I will look prettier than I do in the pictures above and we will have good weather. No more outdoor country concerts for me this year. Hopefully next year we will be able to go again. It is just hard to have to leave Landon all the time. So we will see.
