It Was About TIme

I finally cut off my dried out, long, boring, & annoying hair! I was scared to do it but it really needed to be done. I asked for a longer a-line cut and ended up with this. Oh well. It feels so much better. I'm still trying to figure out the bangs but hey, it's healthy!

Obviously this is the before shot. I think I look way different now.

Right after I got my hair cut, I headed over to my sisters. I didn't have the salon dry or style my hair because I didn't want to pay the extra money when I could just do it myself. As soon as I got to my sisters, we started to play with my hair to make it look a little better. I started to straighten it and Brit kept insisting that if I got it wet, blow dried it, and then straightened it would look a lot better. Annnd it did! I guess sisters really do know best :)

While I was doing my hair, Uncle Cody made Landon a sippy of ovaltine and entertained him for a while . HE LOVED IT! Such a great uncle!

Oh, and here is a picture of me and my boy. Just because I love him so much!

Davis County Rodeo

We went to the Davis County fair yesterday afternoon and then went to the rodeo at 8pm. The fair wasn't huge but we had a good time. They had a free petting zoo with sheep, lamas, pigs, and goats. Landon loved the sleeping pig and kept tilting his face to the pigs face trying to talk to him. He also really liked the pony ride and cried when he had to get off. The rodeo was a lot of fun but it was SO DANG WINDY! Landon was a good sport and loved to see the horses and cows. He also found a new love-kettle corn. He was shoving handfuls in his mouth and when it wouldn't all fit, the wind would blow it away. Too funny. I didn't get any good pics because of the wind so this is as good as it gets!

A New Haircut

Landon got his haircut today and Cookie Cutters and it was surprisingly a pretty good experience. Landon's Great Grandmother cut his hair for the first time shortly before his first birthday and then Alisha cut his hair a few times after that with scissors and it wasn't so bad but ever since, we have been taking him to the hair cutting place down the road from our home in Washington. It was a nightmare! Two of us had to hold Landon down while he just had his head shaved because it was just so much quicker. Landon screamed bloody murder the whole time and had snot and hair everywhere. I thought taking him to Cookie Cutters would be fun for him because they put the kids in cute little automobiles. When we got there, we waited for a few minutes and Landon played on the slide. It was the coolest salon I have ever been to! I still wasn't sure Landon would fully coorporate but he did! He fussed for a second but I held his hand and towards the end, was playing and didn't even mind the buzzer. Such a relief! We will definately be taking him there for his furture haircuts. The girl that cut his hair did a good job but she buzzed the sides and back WAY WAY too short. It looks sort of like a military cut. Luckily, Landon's hair grows fast. He sure looks cute from the front though!!

Afterwards, we ran over to Costco to have one of the wedding pictures blown up and I took the opportunity to try on a few pairs of glasses. I don't have insurance yet and it's only $45 there to have an eye exam. The glasses there are super cute too. Landon had fun trying on some of the kiddo glasses. I was cracking up at him! It was adorable.

Bedroom stuff.

I'll admit that I'm kind of a thrifty kind of shopper. I don't usually buy anything unless it's on sale and I will hunt for a bargain before I buy what I am looking for. I am pretty much obsessed with the DI and you can probably find me there at least once or twice a week. I've found so many fun things there. I think the best deal I ever bought from a thrift store is Landon's maple crib (in Seattle) for 12 bucks. I since have painted it white and boughten one part it was missing but it is a great peice of furniture! Anyway, I found this comforter set yesterday for $4. FOUR DOLLARS! I love it but normally probably wouldn't of picked it out but since it was that cheap, I had to! I have it over the side of the twin bed but it is going to go on our queen. I also bought two little night stands from Target with one of our giftcards from the wedding. We have wanted nightstands for so long but have never really had the cash. We are finally starting to get some nice furniture of our own instead of whatever people will give us. Not that we don't appreicate anything (!) but it's nice to be able to pick out what we want and have everything kind of match. I am super excited to move everything to Utah from Washington and to set up everything in the basement when it's done. My head is running crazy with ideas. I want to blow up a picture from the wedding and put it above our bed in a black frame and have been trying to decide which photo to choose. I think I am going to go with the above photo in black and white. Costco does blow up pictures for like, 2 bucks. AWESOME! I hope Chris likes what I have picked out for our new bedroom!

Sunday Best

Landon loves putting on his Sunday clothes and going to church and that makes me SO happy! He especially loves his black shoes. He brings them to me everyday when it's time to get dressed and sometimes I even let him wear them. He now likes wearing his ties too. What handsome little guy!!!
