I'm alive!

Seriously???  Its been over 2 months since my last post?!?!  I was WAY behind then, so you have no idea what you have missed by now!  lol

It would take me forever to catch up, so I will do a quick recap and then start fresh!  I cant tell you how fun and refreshing it is to sign on everyday and read all about your blogs!  I guess I just got carried away and forgot all about mine!

I didn't even realize blogger had made it a little easier to upload pics! (finally!) Maybe it wont be so long until I'm back!  :)

WARNING..serious picture OVERLOAD!

Football season has officially begun!  Landon started his first year of tackle and we both LOVE IT! 

These are our awesome little cheerleaders holding the sign for the boys to run through!

 Go Landon!!

 He is the kicker, line backer and tight end!

 Some of his support team! Skylah and Crystal

Nana :) 

 and of course Bryan and Gavin too!

Landon and his best bud Aidan! 

 These pics are out of order, but we made it over to Lafayette right before school started to see Grandpa, Mammy, Tyler and Tayla (Landons half siblings)

 Of course we got in some fun swim days too :)

 1,2,3 JUMP

 Last week the top dancers of So You Think You Can Dance came to Houston!!

 It is always so awesome to see them live!

Bollywood! 

Thanks to my wonderful friends Nat and Nicole for loving the show as much as I do! 

 Love this girl!!

 Birthday Dance! (as you can tell I am a huge SYTYCD fan!!)

and just to really throw this post all over the place, here is a pic of Landon's NASTY spider bite we got the week before school started!  This was day 2 and believe me, you don't want to see ANY pics from after that day!  lol

I was marking it each night to see how much bigger it was getting!  Yuck! 

 Miss Skylah turned 10 last week!!!

 and what 10 year old doesn't love Justin Bieber?!?!

 Our little family :)

 Nana, Landon and Mimi at his 2nd grade music performance!

 Landon thought they were too cool! (which they are!!!)

Kelly took some awesome pics of Landon and Tayla on picture day for football! 

 Brotherly, Sisterly LOVE!

 This is one of my favorites of the day!  They were cracking each other up!!

 So sweet!!!

 Future Pro player and Miss America!

 So needless to say, after seeing those pics and knowing that I had been in the market for over a year, I decided it was time to get a new camera!!  I decided on the Nikon D3000 and I LOVE IT SO FAR!!!  I have SOOOOO much to learn, but have enjoyed it already!

This weekend we played soccer too!  (we are crazy, I know!)

We will only play about 3 games this season, but we sign up to keep our spot on the team for spring!  lol

Trying out my new camera!!!

 Throw in :)

 Landon running through the sign!

So there you have it..a little catch up (ok, alot more than I planned on!)

I think that might be my most RANDOM post ever!  ha

Hopefully I will be back to blogging more regularly!

Hope you enjoy!  Feel free to give any tips on the camera too!  I know alot of people are very passionate about their Nikons!  :)

Random thoughts!

• Landon has football every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturdays..he is so freaking cute in his uniform and is such a good player!  Wears me out, but he loves it!!

• I have been to 4 PTA meeting or trainings this month!  (not complaining, but it has been very time consuming!)

• I booked Landons birthday party!  (Dec 12th!)  His bday actually falls on a Saturday this year!  I still cant believe my baby will be 7!

• I went to Learning Express this week and bought one of Landons bday presents..an ant farm.  Boy, times have sure changed...just a few years ago I would have never imagined having an ant farm in my house!  lol

• I started Christmas shopping last week!! (and just to really scare you...if you get paid weekly, only 11 more paychecks until Christmas!!)  Scary!

• Landon decided to be a boxer for halloween this year.  Only problem..I went to 4 stores and they are already out of mediums everywhere :/ (it was still September people!!!) So I had to bite the bullet and order it online!  It came in yesterday and looks so freaking cute on him!

• I completed my first fundraiser as The Fundraiser Chair!  It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be!

• I have 2 more sets of baby letters to make!

• I have 3 friends pregnant with boys right now!

• Still have my family reunion trip to post (and a few more!)

• IS IT REALLY OCTOBER ALREADY!?!?!

• I dont have enough time in the day for tv, facebook, work, homework, and being a mom!  lol  Meing a mom and homework is trumping all my extra curricular activities these days!  ;)

• Actually, I just stay up WAY too late to try and catch up on ALL the shows I DVR! 

• Biggest Loser is starting out so good this year!!  I sure as heck hope Tracy goes home soon though!

• The new Jason Aldean cd is awesome :)

• Landon told me the other day that if you cant find a wife, that you can just buy a kid!  Wow...the things that come out of this kids nouth CRACKS me up!

Honest Scrap

This really amazing girl over at King Quads nominated me for this awesome award!!  Thanks Jenn!!  I would link to her, but to protect those precious babies of hers, she is on private!  Many of the other fabulous quad mommas know her and I know they all agree that she is awesome too!  She has 4 of the cutest babies I have EVER seen, she is super sweet, creative, and I just wish we lived closer to eachother!  Like she said, I know we would be great friends!

You must share 10 honest things about yourself and then choose 7 other people to nominate this award to!

10.  I have always been addicted to Diet Coke!  3 months ago I decided to try and quit, and havent had one since!  I tried a sip of one the other day and actually found that I dont miss it at all!

9. I cannot leave the house without drying, straightening and curling my hair, and putting on my makeup!  Not even to the gas station!  You would think I was a girly girl, but I'm totally not!  Jeans, flip flops and a tshirt will do, I just must be fixed up a little!

8. I actually cried when I found out Landon was a boy.  I just knew in my heart that he was a she.  I am an only child and was raised by my mom.  We have always been just the girls!  I didnt know what I would do with a boy.  Worms, sweat, sports, camping is NOT my thing ;)  Now that I have a stinky, sweaty,sport playing boy, I dont know what I would do without him!  He is such a mommas boy and a little lover!  I am so glad I had a boy first!!

7. I am obsessed with tv.  Its really a problem ;)  I keep waiting to come home and have my family sitting down to have an Intervention!  (wich happens to be one of the shows I watch!  lol)  Reality tv is my favorite, well..or dancing shows.  Then again, I dont think anything could top Greys! (or Desperate Housewives, SYTYCD, Chelsea Lately, Kendra, ABDC, ok, ok...I told you I have a problem!!)

6. I have never smoked a cigarette..not a single puff in my entire life!! 

 (woo-hoo!!)

5.  I was on drill team for 3 years and used to be in tap, ballet and jazz as a child, but I WILL not dance at a club or party now!  Give me an 8 count and I can do it, but other than that, this girl has no rythym!

4. I find all of you quad moms absolutly AMAZING!  I almost didnt write this because I didnt want yall to think I was crazy, but this is called Honest Scrap right?!?!  I find it so interesting to read about your lives, the ups, the downs, the in betweens, the pictures and the love you have for each other!!

3. I used to LOVE scary movies, but since I had Landon, I CANNOT watch them.  For some reason I imagine them happening to my life now and it totally freaks me out! 

2. I cant go to sleep without checking my email.  I may not open everything or reply, but I cant sleep if I dont look at it!  lol  I will even check it on my cell in bed if I didnt get on the computer!  Hey, dont judge!

1. I am SUPER punctual..I know my blood pressure is through the
 roof when I am late to something.  Its my biggest pet peeve when people are late!  It just seems so inconsiderate to me!  My poor child has learned this trait too..he freaks out if he thinks will be late!  (which is a good and annoying trait all in one!  lol)

So there you have it..hope I didnt scare any of you off!  ;)

Now to 7 of my wonderful blogger buddies...

Our schedule is still in full swing...(I swear I thought after the wedding that things would slow down for a while!!) Just this month we have a bday party, a trip to Lafayette, 4 birthdays, Valentines Day, a play to go to, and a dinner date planned!! Not including soccer season which starts tonight!!!

Hopefully now that I am caught up, I will be better about blogging! I have sure missed it!
