Blessing Day

SOOOO sad....I don't have blessing day pictures, but none the less, it did happen. I didn't have time to take pics before church and during church Landon spit up ALL over his clothes, therefore I didn't get a pic in his cute clothes! Oh well. The blessing was great except the microphone didn't work, but I still heard everything, thank goodness! Landon was a very happy baby and there was no cell phone ringing in the middle of the blessing (if you don't know the story, when my nephew was getting blessed his dad's cell phone rang through the whole thing. HA).

Landon is really growing fast. He is over 10 lbs now and this week he started smiling...here is a pic of him halfway smiling! I forgot to mention Aaron's work had a "diaper shower" for us last week. We got 15 packs (BIG PACKS) of diapers!!! Isn't that AWESOME? We won't have to buy diapers until he is in size 4!!!

Wes started preschool this morning and Sydnie is at school too so I am home alone with Landon and it's crazy weird! It's so quiet and I am not sure what to do (other than my HUGE list of to do things). Poor Wes didn't get his pic taken this morning on his 1st day of school, I just TOTALLY forgot. I will take some tomorrow and post later!

Today we are going to the fair, after school. It's free admission today and so I thought we should go take advantage of it!

First Day of School!!!

It was Sydnie's first day of KINDERGARTEN today! What a BIG girl. Her school is just down the street and so we can walk (which is nice because we don't have to be stuck in the traffic jam of a parking lot and it's good to loose some baby weight for me). Her teacher's name is Mrs. Coyote. She is extremely nice. Syd doesn't know anyone in her class (yet) because all her church friends are at a different school. She did so awesome though and there were no tears from either of us. Here are some FDOS pictures of my BIG school age girl! WE LOVE SYD!!! I also had to throw one in of Landon...I LOVE this pic!

In other news...I got a speeding ticket today...my first one!!! I guess there is a 1st for everything! I was driving past the high school (which I do this quite often) and the speed limit is 30. Since today was the 1st day of school, the speed limit was 20. OOPS. I didn't even think about this because I go on this street ALL the time, plus it was 11:30 and there was NOT A STUDENT AROUND. Oh well, the law is the law and I broke it. Too bad the law is so expensive! $210! Did you know that fines are doubled in a school zone? I didn't! :0(

Landon and Wes went to the doc today. Landon is 10 lbs and Wes is 37. My big boys! Syd also got a cavity filled today! BUSY BUSY day. Hopefully tomorrow is not as CRAZY!

100th Post!

We were in Seattle last week to visit family and it was soo much fun!! We stayed at the in laws house and then half way though the week went to Carrie's (sis-in laws). My kids had soooo much fun seeing grandma and of course their cousins. All six of the cousins were there at the same time (3 boys 3 girls) These are some of the things we did;
Edmonds Beach
Swimming at the community pool
Bowling (the mom's got the same score as the kids....we weren't so good at the bowling thing)
Jetty Island (if you never been, I highly recommend it! WAY FUN!)
Shopping
Watched Strictly Ballroom
Went to Mama Mia (LOVED IT, thanks Bets)
Chatted with the peeps
ATE
ATE ATE
Thanks to everyone who helped me keep my kids in line when Aaron had to go home to work and I was busy with Landon. We had so much fun and we love you!!!

Doing the Happy Dance...

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Aaron/Dad/My honey, took the dreaded CPA exam the very day I went into labor with Landon (note: I went into labor 3 1/2 weeks early). Not only was it the very day Landon was born, but the very next hour AFTER he was born, he headed to take the test. Without much rest the night before (me waking him up every hour telling him my contractions were getting worse) and having a new child the hour before this huge test, naturally he was a bit distracted. He took the test anyway much to our dismay, and didn't think he did too well....


Well...we got the results yesterday and you will never believe.....













HE PASSED!!!!!! Honey we are soooooo proud of you!!!!! You are the smartest man ALIVE and you ROCK! Lets see someone else have a baby and pass the CPA on the same day!!!!! :0) We are just EXTATIC over here!! 1 down 3 to go!

Stuff

I couldn't think of a good title, so "Stuff" will have to do. We have not been up to too much lately. I SERIOUSLY dread going anywhere with 3 kids. Yesterday I went to Safeway with the "bunch" and Syd and Wes almost didn't come out of the store alive, not to mention Landon was starving, so he was screaming!! YIKES!!

I have also been reading Breaking Dawn for like 3 days straight (finished on Tuesday) and let my poor kids fend for themselves. Well, not really but I didn't cook or clean or do much else other than read. I liked the book a lot, but am glad it's done so I can have my life back. So the book was addicting, fast moving, shocking. There was a different surprise around every corner, but it also was a little long. I recommend it though if you haven't read it! That is about it. We have been going to Dr appointments etc, and just doing the norm. Next weekend, we are off to Seattle....that will be a nice little trip to see fam!!!! Can't wait!
