"Relaxing" Weekend

OK, someone remind me why I said this was going to be a relaxing weekend?!?! Crystal (my best friend and roomate..for those of you new readers!) calls me Friday afternoon and decides we should have a garage sale this weekend. Hey..I need some Disney money, so why not! So Friday night we were up until 2:30 pricing and setting up, and were up and opened at 6:30 Saturday morning! We did really good on Saturday and decided to get some more of her sister, mom and my moms stuff and open again Sunday! All in all, we made some really good money and sold most of our crap!

Then we had to go up to Westside Mixed Martial Arts Saturday afternoon to drop some stuff off for Bryan. The owner let Landon and Skylah have a tour and get in the cage! Landon has really wanted to start karate, MMA, or jui-jitsu lately. Well, I figured out why...Hes a natural ;) Here are some pics...

The owner showing them some "moves"They had a ball!One of Fearless' fighters was there, Dale..here is showing Landon how to do stuff! Look at those muscles ;)
My little man!
Hiiiii---yah!!!! lol
Sunday after the garage sale, Landon, my mom, and I went out to eat with my Papa and Dee Dee! Papa bought Landon a new fishing pole and taught him some new tricks! We had such a good time!

When we got home Crytal was shampooing the carpet and we decided to "Spring Clean" So at 1:00 this morning we called it a night and finally went to bed!

It was such beautiful weekend and we actually had a lot of fun! (and got a lot of stuff done!)

My blog got a face lift!!!

Well, I owe it all to Krystyn! She gave my old blog a much needed makeover! Thanks so much! You are the best girl! Go check her out..she very reasonable and I think she actually enjoys making them ;) I know I couldnt have done it on my own! (and believe me..I've tried!) Her page is super cute too!

Sunday I had a baby shower for a good friend, so Landon went to Mimi and Nanas! He played in the spa and rode his bike for hours!

It was such a good weekend!

Thursday 13..new school!

13 reasons I am happy (and sad, proud, emotional, ect) that Landon will start kindergarten in August!

In honor of this morning...I am on my way to his new school to register him. I'm so proud of him and at the same time, not quite sure I'm ready for him to be a "Big boy! yet"

1. Field Days and Field Trips :)

2. I get to be a PTA mom :)

3. We will get to eat cafeteria food when I go visit for lunch ;)

4. My baby will continue to grow into an independent little man! :)

5. Hes actually looking forward to homework (I guess b/c he sees Skylah doing it now!)

6. NO MORE CHILD CARE EXPENSES!!! (well, after school, but at only 1/3 of the cost!) :)

7. He doesn't have to wear a uniform anymore (which is good and bad at times!)

8. Volunteering

9. We will have to be on a set schedule (and at his Montessori school, he doesn't have to be there until 9:00..which mean I go late to work everyday!)

10. Him and Skylah will be at the same school and after school program, so I feel MUCH better about him being there!

11. He gets to be a Stephens Stallion!

12. Get to go shopping for school supplies and new school clothes

13. To see how proud and excited he gets when he talks about being a kindergartner!

Wish me luck girls! I cant believe my baby boy is going to go to big school!!
