January pictures



Landon bought this play toy with money from his grandpa in Lufkin.

All bundled up in his winter clothes
Silly Landon!

Amy, this reminded me of some of the faces Natalie used to make as a baby! Landon was playing in his carseat


His other favorite thing to do is to play inside of our entertainment center




Landon loves playing with Daddy's controllers to the XBox

This is probably Landons favorite toy

Friendship

Over the past few years I have had such a change in my closest friends. After I graduated I was still really close to my 2 best friends from high school and then my other best friend who I worked with. After getting married, we all slowly started to drift away from each other. One friend moved away to college and become the party girl she swore she would never become. One became extremely focused in college. The other married a marine, became a bartender, got divorced, and now just likes to work at the bar. They are all different than I had thought they would be. I have nothing in common with any of them. We all do talk on an occasion basis but we arent close any more at all. If I do hang out with them, I don't think that Aaron likes it because of how they act.

I love being a mom, but lately I have wanted some ME time. I have become so focused on taking care of Landon and being a good wife that I have started to loose myself in the process.

Yesterday I had a really fun craft time with a girl who I was best friends with in elementary school-the early part of high school. During high school, she was the one that was my best friend when I was going through tough times When my mom had cancer and when my grandmother died, she was always there to help me cope. The latter years of high school she and I didn't speak much at all. But now we are becoming friends again, which I am really happy about. She is pregnant with a baby girl due in April and married. I have so much in common with her. I am glad I have her to hang out with again.

Then last night Aaron and I went out to eat with a really fun couple from church. She is one of my only few friends at church. I hate it when she isn't there because then I don't really have anybody to talk to. I am glad that we have finally found another couple that are fun to hang out with.

lots of fun in December

My mom told me that I have to update my blog. So since I haven't blogged in forever. We will go back to the month of December:

My mom, Landon, and I went to Austin for Tye's birthday party. I was really glad we were able to go and celebrate with him. He calls me Lu-Lu and he the only one that could ever get away with it. My dad used to try to call me that but I always hated it, so when Tye was really little my dad told him to call me that and from that moment my name is Lu-Lu. I cant believe Tye is 4 years old!! I was his Nanny when he was about 6 months old, so I have always been close to him.


Landon got his first hair cut. It took two to trim his hair.
My family and my parents went to the Festival of Lights and the Aquarium at Moody Gardens. It was a lot of fun. We enjoyed walking around and looking at all the lights, although it was freezing!!



Christmas was interesting. Christmas Eve we had to take Landon to the minor care, then to the ER (for 10 minutes before the ER dr sent us home) because Landon had the croup cough. Although he wasnt feeling well, he was still being his happy self.

Landon got tons of presents for Christmas. Spoiled? yes, I know, but we like it that way!
Another Christmas present Landon got was a pool with balls in it. The cousins had so much fun playing in it as well. It was nice to be surrounded by the kids I love the most. My nieces and nephews are all so special to me!






Who would have ever thought that $1 foam swords from Target would actually not break!

We also went to Chuck E Cheese. Here is a picture of Tye and Landon:
Landon and I finally got to meet Titan, the baby boy of one of my closest friends. It was fun to be able to visit with Katy while she was down from Utah.



The month of December was filled of fun memories.
