Landon...6 months

Landon is officially a half a year old! He is such an awesome baby! We are so blessed to have him in our family. He is always smiling and laughing. He has been sleeping through the nights for the past 3 months. He loves to eat...bottles or solids. He enjoys playing on the floor with his toys and LOVES his Jungle Jumper. It's his fav! He LOVES his Big Sister and is always watching her and laughs when she does something silly. He loves his dog Flash and doesn't mind all his kisses!He loves to talk and watch the world around him. He has the biggest blue eyes with the longest dark eyelashes! (Mom is jealous of them) :) I like to think he is a Mommies boy, but Troy will argue different! We just can't get enough of him!

He is definitely different in all aspects than Kaedie when she was a baby. He had his Well Check and ranks in the 50th percentile across the board. Average guy! She was always in the 75-90th. He is starting to teeth and always has his fingers in his mouth and slobber down his chin. :)

We love him so much and I know I will miss all the baby moments, but I do look forward to the bib boy he will grow to be! We truly love our little man!

Here are some pictures of him this past week.

This past weekend

We went down to Troy's brother's house in Kingman, AZ., which is about an hour and a half drive from Vegas. I love my In Laws and feel so blessed to be able to get along with them and have these ones close enough to see often.

It was our nephews 2nd Bday and it was fun to celebrate with him. He is so cute! He is so into cars and got spoiled with a ton of them. We got him a really cute "Little People" truck with a race car. He seemed to like it. He got this really cool rug that Kaedie loved, which might be something on her Christmas list ;) (I know Landon will love it when he gets a little older). Kaedance and Avery are a year apart and the only granddaughters on this side of the family. They get along great and love to play dress up together. They are adorable and gorgeous!

We were able to see Cody (the oldest) and Avery play soccer. They both did great! Troy's dad was also in town and he took some pictures of us, but it was so windy that most of them didn't come out just right. Even with his awesome camera and talent. Luckily, my Sis In Laws will be down in a few weeks, so I hope they can get some good shoots so I can have pics for Christmas cards. Troy had a blast going shooting with his Dad and brother. I enjoyed visiting with my Sis In Law... who I love! It was a great weekend and we had an awesome time with them!

P.S. Landon turned 6 months on the 20th(Saturday)! I can't believe that a half a year is over. He is too big! I'm taking in every moment I can get of him being small and cuddly. I hope to post pics of him this week too!

Happy Day

I had a really crappy day yesterday... I won't go into detail, just glad that today was better.

Landon and I went jogging and shopping when Kaedie was at PreSchool. Something about working out and spending money that brightens my mood. :) When we got home, I had a message from a Spa that I would love to work at, for an interview the first part of October! I'm so excited! Not like a really want to work, but I need to keep up my skills and have sometime for me. Plus, extra cash is always nice to have. So if you all can keep me in your prayers that the interview will go well, I would greatly appreciate it!

I will keep you all posted. Also, any tips for interviewing that would help would also be great. It's been awhile since I've been on an interview!

Like Daddy...Like Son

I was taking some pics the other night and when I was editing this one, I loved how similar my two guys look. I had to share.

Rainbows

The other day, Kaedance said to me how much she wished that she could see a rainbow. I'm sure she has seen one, but it has been awhile. I told her that she will one day and that it had to rain for rainbows to come out.

Well, like two days after our conversation, it rained and after we went outside and Kaedance about died when she saw that there was a rainbow...not just one, but two! I had to take pictures for her to remember that she has seen a rainbow. She was so happy that night!

It was really cool to see two full rainbows across the sky. It made me happy too!

Some new pictures and updates

Kaedance has been having a blast at Prek! She is so excited to go and when I pick her up, she is so excited to tell me all she did that day. This makes me happy! She started back to ballet Saturday and was so excited about that too! This is her passion and I love that she enjoys it so much!

Landon is so cute! He loves to be on the floor playing with toys. He can really roll around good and can get to one place to another fast! He loves to eat his baby food and enjoys most flavors. I was just at Target and bought a bunch of new ones for him to try. He is so much fun and one of my favorite things to do is kiss his chubby cheeks!! He will be 6 months next weekend and it makes me so sad that half a year has gone by. I'm so blessed to be with them everyday and see all that they do!

I've been losing weight pretty regularly the last couple of weeks and hope to be at my goal weight by Christmas. I'm just watching my calories and trying to workout most days. I was glad to put on some jeans today to go to Target and I had to keep pulling them up...that's always a good feeling!

Explanations for pics: Kaedance all ready for Ballet class, Landon with stickers from In-N-Out that his daddy stuck on his head, my crazy hubby, my gorgeous Kaedie, and my chubby Landon, and Kaedance "posing" before Prek.

Kaedance's 1st day of Preschool!

It's official, Kaedance is a big girl! She had her first day of Preschool and loved it! She was so excited to get ready this morning and go. I thought she would have been a little clingy when she got there, but she wasn't! She went right into class and sat in her spot. It was so neat to see her be excited about this! When I picked her back up, she was so excited to tell me all about her day and the projects she did. I was so happy to see her so excited about this!

She is going to a Preschool taught by a friend in our ward. I love her and she is awesome at this! All the kids in her class are in our ward except one, but she knew him from when we did "Joy School" this past year. There is her and one other girl. The rest are boys. She is use to being around boys because last year in "Joy School" it was her and one other girl and four boys. I actually thinks it's good for her. I can't wait to see all that she learns. I was so blessed to have been able to do a year of "Joy School" with her and I really think that helped prepare her for this year to be more independent and social and also helped prepare her for learning. Troy and I can't get over how big and how fast she is growing. Next year, it's of to Kindergarten! That will be way crazy!

Anyways...she goes twice a week and I look forward to some time with Landon and I, jogging at the park, scrapbooking, cleaning, shopping, or just playing with the two of us while she is at school. We took her to dinner tonight to celebrate her first day. Here is a picture with her "pack pack", (like she calls it) all set to go! I will do updates as the year goes on to show some of her work and what she is learning/learned.
Here is her usual "side" pose that she loves and her "cheesy" smile. I love her! :)
