Lake Conroe, Matt's 1st Father's Day!

Fellowship of the Woodlands Church Father's Day

Happy 1st Daddy's Day Matt!!! Well Matt got to choose what he wanted to do on his 1st Father's Day! I'm sure you can all guess what he chose , the lake! So we headed to Jim and Shari's for breakfast with the grandparents and aunts. After breakfast we headed to the Woodlands and made it to church. It was nice going to Church and we plan on going more often. Then it was off to the lake! We got there and the boat had a flat tire. So Matt had to change it and that was not fun. But he did it and then we were off! Landon loves riding on the boat and looks so cute in his life jacket. It was windy and hot so we parked on the island and swam. Landon's 1st time in lake water and he loved it! We had a great time as you can see!

Father's Day Golf Tournament


We started a Lindsay family tradition and every year on Father's Day we play in the High Meadow Ranch golf tournament. It is alot of fun even though I am not good at all!! I just look the part! I did not swing and miss as much as I usually do though!



Mandy, me , and Hallie!! We had a great time!
Shari, Karen, and Marsha! They are good!
The Boys Dusten. Cody, Matt and Josh

     Look at this cutie!! Love the hat and outfit we got when we were out shopping!
           Landon in his girlfriend's cadillac. Well Avery is older and likes to eat real good food ( like Perry's and PF Changs)  so will see if Landon can afford her! HA!!  She's so adorable and wants to teach Landon how to swing one day!!
Chad and Amy invited us over for a fish fry. They had just got back from fishing and caught alot of fish. Of course I forgot to take pics of the the awesome spread. I only captured the beautiful children. Avery and Landon are so cute that I only got pics of them! But let me tell you what we ate because it was amazing. We had  fish, okra,fries,  fried asparagus, shrimp, and many sides!! YUMMY! It was a fun night!

Chicago Land Speedway!! Trip part 2!









Well not only did we get to spend 4 days in Chicago but we also got to go to Joliet, Illinois for Nascar. The reason we came to Chicago is because a vendor of Matt's invited him to come drive a Nascar at the Chicagoland Speedway Friday. We decided to make a family vacation of it and go to Chicago the week before! Let me begin by saying this was the coolest experience for all of us. We left Chicago and got a town car to take us to Joliet, about an hour outside of the city. We arrived at the Harrah's casino @ 4. Children are not suppose to stay here but they let Landon!! :) We checked into are room and got a free upgrade to the VIP 12th floor. Matt had a dinner with Ward Burton and about 15 other guys who were invited. Landon and I had a date and went and ate at the Mosiac at the hotel. The next morning Matt and the other guys took a bus to the Chicago Land speedway. Matt rode with Ward Burton, a legend in Nascar! Ward was so nice and so friendly.  Then he got to drive on his own. He drove car # 9. Landon and I took a cab and barely made it to see him drive! Thank goodness we pulled up just in time. Matt drove 8 laps then they tell you what your doing right and what to work on. Then he was off again. He went 141 MPH!!! Landon even got to sit in a Nascar and he looked adorable! Then Matt suprised me and bought me a ride along! I got to ride with a professional driver. We went 165 MPH and it was so crazy and fun. The wall seemed so close on the turns and I don't know how Matt drove one!! We both will remember this trip for a lifetime!!  What a great trip!!!

We love Chicago!!

Well we love to travel! We just got back from Chicago and fell in love with this city. We took Landon with us and he did great and loves to travel!! He got to ride in first class with his Daddy. This is his second trip on an airplane and he was wonderful! Spoiled at only 3 months old! He did great on the plane. He just slept and ate! He is such a content boy and loves being outdoors. We walked everywhere in Chicago. We think Landon's stoller may need some new wheels after all that walking!!! Here are some pics from our trip!
 3 months old and riding in first class! Look at those hotties!!!
Day 1- We checked in to the Embassay Suites Lakefront Chicago! We loved this hotel because they were in the middle of everything. they had 2 hours of free happy hour, and free breakfast! We only stayed there 2 nights but would definantly stay here if we come back! We walked down to Navy Pier that afternoon and ate. We ate at Riva's overlooking the lake. It was a  beautiful view.
   Navy Pier! Family photo!
Day 1- After the pier we decided to take a walk down Magnificent Mile. It is loaded with tons of shops! I could have been in real trouble. We then went up to the 95th floor on the John Hancock building. Here is Landon overlooking Chicago. It is the coolest view. You can see the lake, bulildings, pier, and all the beaches.

                               Cloudgate also known as the "Bean." It is so neat and every view of it you see something different.
Day 2-Landon with his serious face in front of the Picasso art work in the park.  We went on a Taste Buds food tour of Chicago Loop area.  We were the only people on the 11am tour so we got our own private tour! It was so awesome. We learned so much and some really cool facts about Chicago and its history. We got to try Chicago deep dish pizza, hot dogs Chicago style, gumbo, cupcakes, and ended the tour at the 1st restraunt in Chicago wih a root beer and a braut worst. We walked through the Palmer Hilton where the brownie was invented and the 1st Hotel to have phones in every room. We also walked through the cultural building and saw beautiful arkwork. We really enjoyed the tour and learned alot!

    The trump tower!
We loved Millenium Park. This is where the bean and these really cool fountains are. The faces change often and when the mouth closes the water sqirts out. So creative!!

Memorial Weekend In California!

May 2011
 Landon's first time on an Airplane!! 5/27/11 2 months old!
My Grams is not doing very well and was checked into the hospital so Matt and I booked a trip to go see her Memorial Weekend. We really wanted to make sure she got to see and meet Landon. My Grams is my best friend and I hate to see this all happening to her. She is in alot of pain and this all happened a year ago. Please say a prayer for her. We love her so much and want her to get better. Her eyes lit up when she met Landon for the first time. It was like he took all her pain away for a few moments. We took her outside of her new place and got to spend alot of time with her.

 My Grams and I! I love her so much and miss her.
