A "Neato" Item I found...

I found this neato item while looking at blogs tonight. I thought it was so cool I purchased one right away! It's called the ONTRAY. It's a tray that hooks on to a shopping cart, and you can put snacks for your little one or even hold your coupons. This is awesome! You can get  it here.

What we've been up to!

I've been so far behind in the blogging world because I have been so busy! That being said, I finally had some time to update, and I did quite a few posts! Since I have been so far behind, I thought I'd let everyone know what we've been up to! Back in January, Paul got a job for a company called Eagle Quest of Nevada. He works with troubled youth, and he (and his other co workers) takes the kids out on a 6 week wilderness program. He works every other week, so he's only home every other week, which is hard, but he loves his job, and it is just until school starts again in August.  For his job, he is in charge of the repelling, and he also helps teach lessons, takes the kids hiking, and since it is in the wilderness, he's camping every other week. As for me, about a month ago I started watching 2 little girls Monday thru Friday. They are the daughters of my cheerleading coach from high school. I watch them at their house, which is hard , especially because it's 8-5 that I'm not home doing other things I need to do. This is just until the school year ends. The girls were getting sick at day care, like every week, so she asked if I would watch them. They are 2 and 3 years of age. So I basically have a 1, 2, and 3 year old from 8-5 every day. The kids all nap at the same time which is nice! I usually nap too, or I bring a craft and work on it while the kids are asleep! As for Landon, he's almost 1! I can't believe it! Time has gone by so fast! He currently has 6 teeth, and can take up to 6 steps...then he falls down! His favorite toys are cars and his Radio Flyer bike.  He now eats quite a bit of solid foods. His favorites are canned carrots and all types of crackers.  He loves juice and I've just started him on whole milk, since he's almost 1. He loves milk too! He loves dogs and baths! He hates to be alone and he hates his crib! He loves to play with kids and loves his parents! On Saturday, March 28, we are having Landon's 1st birthday party! I've been busy preparing for that as well! I'm hoping that he will be walking by then!

St Patrick's Day

On Saturday, March 14, we went to the St. Patrick's Day parade with my mom and brother. Landon had a good time watching all of the floats go by and eating Kettle Corn Popcorn. 

After the parade, we walked around and looked at all of the rides and we got some Horchatta. We let Landon try some of ours! He sipped it and said "mmmm." I take it that he liked it! He is too cute!

Fro St Patrick's Day, we went to my mom's friend Dorthy's house. We had the traditional corn beef and cabbage for dinner. Afterwards, we came home and enjoyed my favorite show...American Idol.

Big Boy Car Seat

On Friday March 13, Landon advanced to his big boy car seat! He's no longer in the infant one! I miss the convenience of the infant car seat, but Landon just love's his new seat! He doesn't look very happy in this picture because he was sick =(. But now he's all better!

Landon's Favorite time Of Day

Landon's favorite time of day is Bath time! He has such a blast in the tub, and to think up until he was about 2 months old, he HATED the bath!

Valentine's Day

Paul and I celebrated our Valentine's Day about a week before it was actually Valentine's Day because he was going to have to work. My mom watched Landon and we enjoyed a nice night out together, baby free. We went to Town Square Mall and ate dinner at Brio and afterwards, walked around the shops.

On Valentine's Day, my mom and I went and saw the movie, He's Just Not That Into You. iIt was cute. afterwards, we went to her friends house and enjoyed a mexican dinner and games.

This is a picture of Landon on his first Valentine's Day. He's wearing a shirt that says Heart Breaker.
