My Little Man Cracks Me Up :) (Click his face to watch the video!)

Autumn In Idaho Is Amazing

I said I would take pictures of lil Landon in a pile of leaves, & that's exactly what I did. Just couldn't resist seeing the big pile of leaves that just fell from the tree in our backyard; total picture opportunity. Of course happy baby Landon enjoyed every minute of it & was also very curious; disecting ever leaf he came across. haha!! Pictures turned out adorable, I love autumn time. The leaves turned crazy colors; from yellow, orange & red, to even dark purple & bright pink. It's incredible!

Not only that, but this time every year, I go out and stock up on Pumpkin Spice scented candles... which I LOVE!! MmMMm.. makes the house smell soo good.

Halloween is in less than a week & I am soo excited. It will be Landon's 1st, and Jason & I's 1st as parents. Landon is going to be a monkey this year; I still have to go out and buy him his banana. I really hope Landon will be able to stay up late Halloween night and enjoy what we have in store for him :)

Pumpkin Carvings

Jason & I decided to carve our pumpkins last night (not too sure if our pumpkins will hold up over the next 2 weeks till Halloween, we'll see!). It was Landon's 1st pumpkin carving; he had no idea what was going on, but he seemed VERY interested in what we were doing. We gave hime some pumpkin goo to play with, and he watched mommy & daddy carve away. Jason of course made a spooky pumpkin, a carving of the Grim Reaper. Turned out amazing. And I made a pumpkin for Landon, it's a carving of Mickey Mouse; seeing that he LOVES the Mickey Mouse Club Cartoon. Not too spooky, but it works. They both turned out pretty dang good.

You can't tell in the pictures, but on the other side of the Mickey Mouse pumpkin, there's an attempted carving of SpongeBob Square Pants; let's just say he has no legs and it's quite INTERESTING. haha! OH well, mommy's no pumpkin carving master & I like how Mickey turned out.

Anyways, the pumpkin carvings took awhile to do ( I forgot how much work it actually was!), and of course Landon's attention spand is the size of a pea. So he fell asleep in his walker, and I had to carry him off to bed. I guess watching pumpkins being carved is hard work. hehe. Can't wait until Halloween; Landon's going to be a monkey this year!!

Baby Fat

I weighed myself last night at work & I had to weigh myself twice just to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. I am officialy back down to my original weight before I got pregnant, I am so excited. I know I lost a lot of weight, but I didnt know I lost it all.

It took me 4 months, but I have been working my butt off eating healthy(I changed my eating habbits entirely; it's life changing, not just a little diet!). And I occasionally worked out; but if I want to lose more weight & tone up my flabby post preggo tummy, I must hit up the gym often. It DOES help that I now work at a gym & I get a free membership; which means I can work out before or after work(much more convenient!).

So I just wanted to share my excitement with you all on my recent weight lose :)

Another Job Update!!

   I received a phone call today from the job I originally wanted very badly; at The Athletic Training Center here in Boise, Idaho. It's a big facility, and they train all types of athletes. From men who are trying out for Boise State football team to PRO football players (like San Diego Charger, Legedu Naanee!). I will be a front desk/receptionist there, working part time, and making a lot more money than I would at Kohls. I start tomorrow, and I am so very excited. So I have to get on the phone right now and call Kohls, and tell them.. thanks, but no thanks for the job offer!! (there goes my %50 off, dang it. haha!)

Yaaaaay, I got the job I wanted... wish me luck :)

Splish Splash In His Big Boy Bath!!

It's official, Landon no longer fits in our kitchen sink. So it left me no choice but to put him into the big bath tub. I was kind of nervous at first, I wasn't sure if he would like it at all. But boy was I wrong, he absolutely LOVES IT!! He tries to eat all the bubbles, he splashes around, he giggles, he screams, he kicks; it's pretty hilarious. I'll have to get a video of it sometime and post it up on here, sooo funny.

Anyways, I am happy the big boy bath turned out good... Landon is such a happy baby, and so easy to please! No complaints :)

Job Update!

As some of you know, after a couple months of job hunting, Jason got a job about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and he LOVES IT. He works for a company called, Cleanup & Total Restoration (CTR), here in Boise Idaho. They go out and restore buildings, homes, wherehouses, ect., from flood damage, fire damage, and all that good stuff. Jason says its something new & exciting every day, and the guys he works with are awesome. I am so happy for him, and so proud.

Now that Jason is off at work monday - friday 6am to 6pm, and no longer at home; I notice little Landon misses his daddy. You should see Landon's face when daddy comes home. His face lights up and he is just full of giggles, its too cute. In fact, just tonight Landon got really upset with me when I tried to pull him away from his daddy. I think by 6pm, he's over haning out with mommy, haha. It's ok, because I have my little bubbus, my monkey butt, my little man, all day..... so it's only fair that I share him :)

As for me, finding a part time job where I can work night shifts and weekends only, is actually harder than I thought. I've had many interviews, so we'll see......

Well im off to bed, nighty night.

Ps. Happy 1st Day Of October Everyone!!!!
