Pretty Boy

Our bushes have been blooming in our backyard and Landen can't help but pick the pretty flowers. Yes, I know he's a boy, but I couldn't help but put a pretty flower behind his ear and snap a picture.

A GREAT WEEKEND

Landen hates the food we give him so much that he has resorted to eating dog food! But, really no kidding, he tried to eat it. Yuck!! :( And Toby is just looking in amazement going, "What is wrong with you. Why do you want to eat my crappy food, you get yummy human food?

Landen was watching daddy mow the grass (yes, the very small patch that we do have) so intensely. And notice how incredibly disgusting our glass door is from Toby goobers and Landen prints. Where is Photoshop when you need it? :)

Tommy and Olivia came over Saturday so Luke and I could have a date night. We had the pleasure of watching Aria on Friday while Tommy and Olivia went out. I think we could really get used to these date weekends. :) We had a wonderful time and they took such great care of our little guy. And notice in the picture how cute and girly Aria is, and then look at Landen. He is one truly messy boy. If his onesie had pockets they would be filled with all kinds of nasty things. Probably dog food. :)

Chocolate covered strawberries, YUMMY!!!

You know you have had a fun day when you look like this at the end of it. :)

Pictures Just For GP

Landen is sporting his Harley gear that GP gave him. Thanks Grandpa!! It's not a Fat Boy, but it is still a pretty cool bike. :)

Getting out of a mommy slump

O.k. so for the passed week or so I've been making an effort to spend some time on myself. It seems like over the last month I've gotten into such a mommy slump. Luke's been busy to say the least and I have got caught up in being just mommy 24/7. I also miss my girlfriends like crazy. Thankfully I have Olivia or I would go insane! In an effort to cure this funk I'm in I've joined L.A fitness which offers child care. Whoohoo!! And I've also tried to pamper myself at least once a week. ( e.g a pedicure, facial, etc. ) L.A. fitness has been great!! They take great care of Landen and I get a great workout. While making an effort to pamper myself I have come across some great beauty products that I would love to share with all of you. The brand is called Avalon Organics (http://www.avalonorganics.com/) and they have a great skin care line. I have just started using their Vitamin C face cleanser and the CoQ10 perfecting toner. My skin has never looked better! I'm very impressed. I was using Arbonne before which I liked o.k., but I am LOVING this stuff. I am going to the gym with no makeup on my face and for those of you who really know me know that I would have never done that before. The products are wallet friendly too. And I was actually able to get them from the Commissary. Shocking, I know. So hopefully next time anyone sees me I will look a little more fit and a little less stressed.

Having Fun!

Our little kiddo is thoroughly enjoying all of his toys he got for his birthday. Currently his favorite is the tunnel GP got him. He was pretty hesitant at first but now we can't get him out of it!!

Watching morning cartoons has become more interesting the last few weeks, thank goodness. I'm finally getting a hot cup of tea/coffee in the morning before it is cold. I'm not advocating sticking your child in front of a t.v. all day, but sometimes an hour in the morning is just what a mommy needs to keep her sanity :)

Landen is finally crawling like a "normal" baby. For those of you who have seen Landen crawl in the past you know that he had this hysterical army crawl going on. It got the job done and got him where he wanted to go fast. But just this week he decided that he can use his hands to crawl too. He still reverts back to his slithering crawl every ones in a while but for the most part hands and knees it is.

Look at that cutie in the mirror.

I still can't believe Landen is 1. I meant to post this picture of him as a newborn with the birthday post but forgot. I look at the pictures above and then this one and just can't believe how much one grows in a years time. He is such a miracle and we thank God everyday for giving him to us.

Landen's 1!!!

I can't believe our baby is 1 already!!! Time is really flying!! Landen had a great birthday filled with lots of toys and lots of messy ice cream cake. The Fuglers and GP were able to share in the birthday festivities.

Mommy and Daddy even decided to get messy. :)

All this for me!!

YUMMMY!!!

Grandpa spoils him rotten! This is just one of the many toys GP got him. We later pimped it out with Harley Davidson stickers. He is now officially the coolest baby on the block. :)

Cubs game

The Cubs are here for spring training, so we decided to take Grandpa to go see them play. We have loved having GP here for a week and are going to be so sad when he has to leave.

Wave to the camera. :)
