I'm so stressed I've pulled my hair out!

Really, NO not really, but it was time for a new look so I decided to cut it. I was able to donate it, which tells you it was pretty long. My next goal is eye surgery to not have to wear glasses anymore, and that will be next to losing more weight. Will I finally be happy with myself, probably not but it's a good start. So tell me what you think?

Wow, only half a year left until the big 1.

My big baby boy has reached 6 months and he is 19lbs. He is built solid and can sit and stand holding onto something. We've heard him say "MAAAAM" and yesterday I heard him say "DAAAAAAD" So formal I know. We wanted to see what Landen would look like with hair which is the first picture. Too cute, right? He loves his toys and missing us when we walk out of the room. Soon he will be mobile, and then watch out! Here comes Landen!

Merry Xmas in sunny California!

This year we went to sunny California and had so much fun with my family. The Grandparents got to cherish the baby and grandkids and my brothers and Carl (Jons brother) got to tease me the whole time we were there. Like having my own brothers wasn't enough. No but we had a blast as you can see by the pictures we played games, took naps, and all jumped in the pool, j/k only Crazy Tristen and Sal jumped in the pool because Sal lost a game, Tristen was just on a soda high that he needed to jump in the pool to calm down. It had been too long and we will not let it go that long without seeing everyone again, we miss everyone already. Yes even you Carl! And you Chris! Looking forward to Spring Break in a couple months to do it all over again.

Happy 5 months Landen ok more like 5 1/2 now

My Landen baby is 5 1/2 months now and oh so cute. He's almost 18lbs and 27inches long. He's gotten his first ear infection and first real cold w/cough. He got a temperature 2 days before we had to leave to California for Christmas and worrisome daddy got scared so we took him to urgent care and it came out he had an ear infection. So he spent most of Xmas hacking and runny nose but he survived and actually did very good for a sick baby. We love him so and he's growing so fast.

Has anyone seen rudolph?

It's Xmas time again. We put up our tree and there's snow outside, all that's missing is Rudolph the red nose reindeer. Hey we found him! He looks a lot like Landen though. We are so excited this Xmas because we get to drive to California to see my family and it's been a long time. Ever since I got pregnant with Landen our travels have been limited that and Jon not having a job didn't help either. It will be a long drive with Landen but it's worth it. Xmas isn't the same without family around. Can't wait.

Can you believe he's 4months now!

Where has the time gone, really. Landen is growing so fast I can't keep up with my growing boy.
So now he is 4 months and as you can see by the pictures he's : discovered his toys, hands, baby food, and how to hold his own bottle. He is 16lbs and 25 1/2 inches long, and so strong. He's normally very calm unless he's hungry than it's no joking matter, but he is such a good baby.
I am so thankful for my beautiful little boy.

Ahhh, Landen's eating baby cereal!

That's right, he's eating solids. Crazy huh, the doctor told us he's 15.9lbs now and he's needed more, so little by little we are giving him baby cereal and soon baby food. He's doing so good, he eats it up. My baby's growing up.

Football is officially over!

Tristen worked so hard this summer to earn the money to be able to play football and it was all worth it. His team did awesome. They made it to championships and even though they lost they gave it they're all. Tristen was practicing and playing 4 times a week so it pretty much took over our lives. But now it's over and he's like 10lbs lighter. By the way he's number 33. He's counting the days until next year. NFL here we come. Landen's studying his brothers moves for when he's old enough.

Gotta love Halloween!

Happy Halloween, we just LOVE Halloween around here. Landen was a rooster chick for a brief second, he was a bit uncomfortable so it didn't last but he looked cute anyway. Madisen wanted to be a witch so she got the hat and we later added the wig (which she complained was too itchy) and the glasses and nose ( that was too big). Kids can't ever please them. Hannah wanted to be a scary vampire and man she was, with those teeth and makeup ohhh scary. Tristen was orignally a ghostbuster as you could see in the pictures of our Halloween party but later decided just to where his football uniform so that's what he ended up being. Maybe next year he'll make more of an attempt, or maybe next year he'll say he's too old. That's my teenager! Anyhow, hope everyone had a great Halloween and we'll see you next year!

Happy 7th birthday Madisen!

Oct.30th was Madisen's 7th birthday and Man she is like 7 going on 17. She wanted a new bike for her birthday so that's what she got, you can see it in the picture. I made some cool cupcakes, played so Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift her favorite singers, hung up a pinata full of candy and it was such a nice day we threw them all in the backyard. She had fun and that's all that mattered. My baby's not a baby anymore, thank goodness I have another one. Now when he turns 7 then I will start to cry.
