Little Gym

Last Thursday Landon started his 1st day at The Little Gym. It's an amazing place where parents take their children once a week to work on their motor skills and social skills in a fun way.
I thought this would be a great idea,  seeing that Landon is at that akward age, 7 1/2 months old. He want's to do soo much and get's bored sitting inside, but there's not much out there for kids his age to do. This place is sooo cool; they work with kids... ages 4 months old all the way until 6 years old. He is right now in the BUG class (4 months - 10 months).
Yesterdays class we focused on increasing physical stregnth, flexibility and coordination through gymnastic concepts. Landon did soo well, it was soooo cute :)
Once he becomes a BIRD (10 months - 19 months), we'll be able to go more than once a week. For now we go every Thursday at 11am - 12pm.

NEW YEAR, NEW START

HAPPY NEW YEARS!! It's been so long since I've written a blog; we have been so so busy here in Idaho. Jason has been working non stop and I have been working and taking care of the little one who has been extra needy lately. Jason & I also just got over a REALLY bad sickenss, so we were out of commission for awhile. No good! But were back and in action, so I thought I'd catch everyone up on what's been going on with us......

Jason has his 90 day review in a few days, and were hoping he get's a nice raise (cross your fingers!). We are very excited and anxious for that. With all the time and sweat he puts into this company, I would think they would reward him with a nice raise. We'll see though!!

As for me.. I've just been doing the same ol same ol.. working and taking care of my little man. For Christmas my grandma got me a REALLY nice sewing machine (since I lost my old one in the fire!). It's amazing; it's actually even better than my last one. And then I got to thinking,  might as well use my hobby and my little extra time to use... I'm going to be starting my own fashion business. Launching a clothing line would be waaay too time consuming(I dont have all the time in the world!), and there's also too many competitors out there, so SCRATCH that idea. I was thinking(actually my mom was thinking!) to gear it towards dogs. Idaho is a BIG dog place, and i've talked to a few people(family & co-workers) and they say they can never find a good place to buy affordable/cute doggy scarfs. So I am going to start with that, and see where it takes me. I will be making a website, business cards, the works; and I will be setting up stands at different festivals/venues and all that fun stuff. My goal is to have the website, doggy scarves, and business cards all done by May. May is when the "See Spot Run" benefit is happening in Nampa, Idaho. That's where TONS AND TONS of pets and there owners come and walk for a cause. There's always a lot of stands of pet food, drinks, toys and apparal.


Never thought i'd be using my talent/hobby for DOGGY SCARFS(haha!), but we'll see how it goes. I figure start off little and if it gets big then I can expand. Its a great idea, affordable to start and not so time consuming. Wish me luck, & I'll keep you posted on it.

Until next time........
