Yard Work

A nice warm day, lots of weeds growing out of control. What does that mean? Days of yard work are back! Greg mowed this afternoon, I picked weeds, Landon ran around playing and getting us wet. First off, I can't believe how darn big he is getting. He so looks like a little boy now, and I can't believe it!

Ain't he cute? I sure think so.

Since I've been trying to put Landon to work with all my 'ads' does anyone need help with watering flowers, people, or spraying on a fence?

Doesn't it look like he is peeing? Haha, I thought so. I cleaned out the flower beds, found lots of spiders and er, uh, cat poo. Yes, my cat decided he wanted to drop some loads off in my flower beds. Dang cat!

If you want a cool design like the one on the fence above, all you have to do is lather Landon up with sunscreen, make sure you have a juice box handy and give him his water hose! He will go to town!

Or you could just watch him tie his hands up in his basketball net, and watch him try to get them loose! He liked the idea of being stuck, and was playfully saying, "Momma, I stuck, helllp."

Chocolate Lovin' Boy

I've come to realize that Landon is just like his daddy, well mommy too. He LOVES chocolate! Easter is one of my favorite Holiday's. I love baskets filled with candy, chocolate, a stuffed bunny and eggs, I love dying eggs and then hiding them to find. You get dressed in pretty dresses or nice dressy clothes. (for boys) I dunno, I just like it. I was looking at the past Easter pictures of Landon, it's hard to believe this is going to be his 4th Easter. Almost every year I have a picture of him with a mouthful of chocolate and drool rolling down his chin.

4 1/2 months old, ALREADY loves chocolate. (Don't worry, we just put it in his mouth, he didn't really eat any, Greg devoured it!)

Look at those baby blue eyes, and that face, covered and chocolate, and a grin that says it all!

Working so hard to get that foil off the chocolate, of course he already has a ring around his mouth from the previous bunny he ate.

Where's the chocolate? Must find Chocolate!! haha!! Can't wait for Easter this year. I am sure Landon and Ava will have a blast, and I will get more pictures of Landon with chocolate alllll over his face!

Puddle Jumping Street Cleaner?

Does anyone need a curb side clean up? If so I have a very cute flip flop wearin' boy that can help! Just give hime some water and a dish cloth and he will go to work!

Don't ya just love cute little feet in flip flops? I sure do.

He not only does a wonderful job, and is super cute and entertaining while doing it, you can pay him in oreos and milk! We can't wait for warm spring/summer weather around here....

Bad Hair Day

So I've come to realize that I don't really like my hair cut. Wait, I do like a few things about it. I like the color, and I like the front with the feathering around my face. Now, those of you who know me well, know that I am not big on doing my hair fancy, I like to wash it, blow it dry and be done. I always seem to have it in pony tail while at work. I can still put my hair in a pony tail, which is good. Of course after she colored and cut my hair she styled it when she was done. She always blows it dry then uses a flat iron. It looked great! I don't have a flat iron, and I have finally realized today I NEED ONE!

I need to get one quick because my hair looks terrible. She put some layers in the back and kinda feathered it, which I don't think I like that. My hair just looks frizzy and kinked. Ick Ick Ick! I knew flat irons were pricey, but whew, I didn't know like $100 for good ones. When Landon wakes from his nap I have to go to Target to get some stuff for Landon's Easter basket and I am going to pick one up. I also saw a cute dress in today's ad. I want to try it on and maybe wear it for Easter. YES! I want to wear a dress. Crazy I know.

Family Days

We usually spend most of our days as a family, doing family things, or just doing everything together. Today was no different. I made some yummy oatmeal blueberry muffins from scratch this morning for breakfast. Then we got ready to run our normal weekend errands. I told Landon to grab his shoes, he grabbed some, then I usually put him on the washer and put his shoes on. But when I saw what he picked out, and he insisted on doing it, well, I wanted to tell him no way will you wear those today I let him!

I just had to take a picture of those feet when he was done so you could see.

We went to Sam's to price their mattresses. We saw a good deal at Sear's but wanted to shop around. They were about the same price. We stopped at a local mattress place and I told Greg it was going to be much more expensive to buy one there. But for the mattress and box spring it was like $60 cheaper! So we of course picked it up. Now we just need a bed and some sheets!!!!

We also went to the park this afternoon. We went to one we hadn't been to yet, Redbud Park. Landon was of course thrilled. He ran around and had a blast. Then he told us he had to go potty, it was dinner time so we decided to leave and go to Carino's for dinner, it was just around the corner. Landon was NOT happy, he screamed and said he wasn't ready to leave, and he told me he was VERY mad at me! What a turd.

We told Landon earlier we were going to go to Walmart to look at the Dragon toys. Well, before we told him that, we didn't know that we were going to be eating Italian (spaghetti for him) before hand. He was filthy! I tried my hardest to clean his shirt a little, didn't work so well. I am sure he is going to end up on the people of Walmart website for being so dirty. (haha just kidding!)

Like I said, we usually always spend our days together as a family. I wouldn't have it any other way!

First Date?

Warning: PICTURE OVERLOAD!

Today was Landon's "Treasure Hunt," better known as an Easter Egg hunt. haha! (We just can't call it that, so stupid I know!) He's been excited about it for a while. There were a ton of eggs for all 3 preschool classes to go for.

Each class sat by their doors until they got the 1-2-3 go! Landon of course wandered towards my class to find his little friend Zoey! They looked at each other's bags and complimented each other, those two are funny.

We tried to veer Landon away from the big group of kids. It worked out pretty good.

He picked a few eggs, and then ran, very excitedly might I add, toward the tire swing where there was more eggs.

He checked around for more, and then started to dig through his bag to see what he got.

Then it was time to show daddy the tire swing! He of course had to swing with his lady friend Zoey.

We attempted a family picture, I believe it is the worst one yet! Greg's eyes are closed, Teresa's finger is in the corner, Landon is screaming and I'm fat!

After the excitement we headed to the movies. We got our popcorn, sour patch kids and soda then picked out our seats.

I told Landon we had to run to the bathroom before the movie started. When we got out I saw Landon's friend Nichole. She is in his class at school, and her daddy is a firefighter. They were there to watch the movie! Landon was soooooooo excited!

Then we saw Zoey! Oh my! Landon was now elated!

Look at Landon surrounded by girls!!! Haha, he loved the movie! It was scary during certain parts, but really good! Landon LOVED it. He was calling out the dragons names the whole movie. He was making me giggle. When the movie was over and we got home boy oh boy was Landon in a SOUR mood. Whew weeee! He finally cheered up a little, ate some dinner then we let him go through his eggs and pick out one piece of candy!

So I had my doctors appointment this morning. It was at 1130. I was excited because I thought maybe I would be done pretty quick and then would have some time alone with Greg at the house before we had to be back at the CDC for Landon's egg hunt. Well when I got there, there were about 6 ladies sitting there! Fantastic! I finally got taken back around one something, and I was walking out the doors and in my car at 150. I was famished. (not really, I was hungry, I am also fat enough to go a few weeks with out eating) But the Doctor answered my questions and he was very thorough and explained a lot of things. I have to have blood work done again, my hCG is at 23, and I need to be at zero. Sooooo just ready to be cleared of all this. I also asked about all

my other hCG levels to see how they went. I started around 740 something. Which is normal early on. Then when I had it checked about two weeks later it was at about 747. So my levels never really went up, which means there was probably something wrong and after about 6 weeks everything pretty much stopped. Which is when I found out. Probably why I never really felt bad or anything, just the headaches, and also probably why I had a weird feeling.....(This is all what I am guessing, trying to figure out what happened.)

Tomorrow we have to get some yard work done, wash my poor dirty car and look for mattresses for Landon's new bed! One week down, maybe get it next weekend? I hope soon, I am so excited for it!

Things I love...

There are some things I am totally loving right now. They are simple things, but wonderful to me at the same time. One thing I am loving right now is that Landon will go to the bathroom on his own. He will tell us he has to potty now and run to the bathroom and turn the light on and go. Previously he would make us go with him. Ahhh, it's great. He is so proud of himself too. Another thing is Landon's sleeping. I blogged a lot in the past with Landon NOT being a good sleeper. I think he has realized just how wonderful sleep is! I put him to be between 8-830 and he is out pretty quick. Some nights he wakes up to pee or because he is cold, but most of the nights we don't even hear him. It is amazing! When I have to wake him up at 545 in the morning he tells me, "I don't wanna wake up mommy, I still sleepy." I have a hard time getting him awake. Usually I just say, "What movie do you want to watch in the car? I have strawberry milk ready for you too!" And usually he will pop up! They are simple things, but things that are big for us! I am so proud of Landon. He is such a big boy now.

I was looking for a picture to download and found this one, it made me laugh, it was from when we first moved in to our house! Look how little he was, he was 11 months old, and check out our comfy furniture, fold out chairs!!!!!

I've been looking at all my catalogs and every where on line trying to find the "perfect" bedding for Landon's new bed. I am so bummed those other sheets are sold out. I even called stores. Why do I have this luck? Oh well. I am thinking I just want to get some solid sheets and maybe go with a quilt and sham, like this...

I still like this bedding though. Maybe I could go with the quilt with stars?

I am so thankful tomorrow is Friday. I am so ready for a vacation. Getting up early is so tiring. Well right now it is. For some reason all this stuff has drained every ounce of energy I had. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to go over my labs and stuff and to get checked again. My doctor is back so he wants to see me. I had bloodwork done Monday, then got a call Tuesday to come back for more. The guy just laughed when he saw me. I told him I don't want to see him again for a long long time! haha, just kidding. He was super nice and got me first poke. Yippe!!

How To Train Your Dragon comes out tomorrow. All three of us are super excited to go see it. WalMart has all the stuff in the front of the store and when we went the other night Landon's mouth was hanging open! He loved it all. Oh yeah, I got my hair cut and colored last night. It's pretty short, short for me at least, and pretty blonde. I really like it. I feel like Priscilla again!!!!

Monday Monday

Is today only Monday? 4 more days till Friday. I hope this week speeds up and goes by fast!!

I've decided that I like the bed we bought, whew! I was second guessing my self and stressing out about it. Not quite sure why. But I went and sat on the floor in Landon's room and looked at everything and if I can get the right bedding and get the walls painted I think it will look nice! I am actually really excited. I hope we get it soon!

Yesterday Greg was at work. Landon and I did a trip to Target and then hung out at home all day. It was nice. I cleaned and Landon played. We napped, played some more, ate dinner, watched some TV and then we were in bed!

I went by the doctor and got my blood drawn this afternoon. The guy who always gets me had a hard time today. He finally got me. I bet he is hoping he doesn't see me again for a long time, I am hoping the same thing. I hope that I can get my results back in a timely manner. My DR is back, so we shall see!

Are you watching Dancing With The Stars tonight? We are, so far it's ok, but only a few people have danced. Do you watch Amazing Race? I am sad Jeff and Jordan are gone. They were funny, but they just couldn't catch up with anyone. There are a few teams I like, and some drive me bananas! haha.

Looks like Spring is here. Nice day today, even nicer tomorrow, should be about 80! The only thing I don't like with nice warm weather is.....snakes! They've already sent out and email to the people on base to watch out for snakes, lots of babies have already been spotted! GREAT! We had the snake talk with Landon during dinner tonight. I'm sure we will continue to have the snake talk.....RUNNNNN if you see a snake! haha

Bed set and sheets

Here are the sheets and bedding that I like. Of course it is all sold out on line. I am totally bummed because I really like it and I think it would look good on the black bed.

In the picture below I like the red bedroom set.

The pictures aren't that great, and I am kinda embarrassed because it looks really girly on here. But in the store it doesn't look girly. The pictures look like the knobs on the dresser are girly, they are just round. Having girl bedding on it does not help at all. Please tell me if you think it's too girly, opnions please!

Oh gosh, I think I am second guessing myself! ahhhhh
