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!

So glad to get an update. Sounds like you guys are super busy. Landon is just so dang cute and it is hard to believe he is almost one. Do you think watching two other kids will curb your cravings for #2? :)
