It Has Been Awhile

This is his I'm the boss pose 

It has been a few months, so maybe it has been 6 months... since I have done an update so i thought I better do a quick one before the craziness of finals, work, moving and everything else happens.

So since my last post...

Little Yoda

 For Halloween he was a little Yoda. I was afraid that he would not be happy about wearing the costume but he loved it and he loved his light saber that he got to carry around. He also loved that he got so much candy. He will stand by where we have his candy and make noise until we come get him some. He may not talk much but he does know how to get what he wants.

He loved the light saber

Keith got offered a new position in November at Ancestry. He is really liking the new position and the responsibilities and opportunities that he has. We are also very grateful for the great insurance that they have, it has been used well... He had to quit the second job he has because of time and with his pay increase it wasn't necessary.

The end of November and December were crazy. There was a lot to do with finishing up the semester, having surgery for endometriosis, and getting things together for Christmas. Thankfully I got most of Christmas done before December so that I could focus on finals. It was so nice to have that semester end.

Playing with is Christmas toys

Landon still didn't quite get the whole Christmas thing but he sure did love ripping apart wrapping paper. there were a few times we caught him unwrapping things before he should. We spend Christmas Eve at my parents so that Christmas morning Landon could be with my siblings because they are more exciting than Keith and I. Landon got a Kitchen which he just loves. He will stir things up and bring them over for me to try. His other favorite thing he got was a broom from Keith's sister Emily. He carried it around for about 3 days and got very mad when we wouldn't let him sleep with it.

Traveling to California

In January we took a quick trip to Northern California to see Keith's family. Landon just loved being there. It was a perfect time since it was almost 70 degrees! Landon just loved being outside and spending time with his grandparents and uncles. Landon was actually really good on the trip there and back. We had a mini DVD player and as long as something was playing he would happily sit there and watch. He also was excited to eat all the fun things he doesn't usually get. We decided that when we were traveling our sanity was the most important thing

Playing in California

February and March we mostly stayed in, recovered from a kidney stone surgery and did homework. I'm talking 18 credits semester so it has been busy trying to keep Landon happy and getting everything for school done. Honestly sometimes school work doesn't all get done, mostly readings, because Landon just wants to play. He is so funny and keeps us busy. I'm just waiting for our first ER trip because he is dangerously fearless. I have found him in many places that he shouldn't be.

Working on Valentines

At the end of February we started casually looking at places to buy. Of course the second place we saw we fell in love. We walked in and we just felt like it was our home.  It was so open and welcoming. After some negations we had an accepted offer a few days later. It is a cute town home in Lehi, UT just 10 min from my parents. It is almost 2300 sq ft and has a wonderful double deep garage! Keith is excited to finish the rest of the basement and have a movie room. So far everything has gone well. We got the news yesterday that our loan went through so we are looking to close sometime around the 14th of April! It will be so fun to have our own place that we can paint and decorate however we want.

Landon and his Minions

Today we took Landon to the doctor for his 18 month appointment. He is 35 in and 26.6 lbs. He is 99 percentile on height and like 72 percentile on weight. He is a pretty healthy big kid. He did have to get three shots that he was not happy about but he only cried for about 20 seconds and then he just wanted a sucker from the receptionist. He is very busy and very smart. He really thinks he is the boss of everything and everything is his. He is getting better and better at figuring out electronic which is a little scary. His favorite you-tube videos are the sail cat and the minion banana song. He is also quite obsessed with Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. He LOVES animals and gets so excited when he sees them. He knows what dogs, ducks and cows say and reminds us often. I think he needs a dog, Keith isn't convinced yet... He is so much fun and it is so exciting to watch him discover new things.

Our first pack moving box

Life for me is busy between work, school and taking care of Landon but the good news is I am almost done with school! I only have two more weeks of classes and one week of finals. Then I have spring term which ends the middle of June and I will be graduated! It will be such a relief to finally be done with school.

Our life has a lot of things going on but they are all for the good. It is exciting to be entering in to these new phases of our life.
