New Toy!

Chris and I wanted to get Landon some of the ALPAHBET magnets for the refrigerator so that it will help him learn his letters. Right now he likes moving them all over the place, and it's really fun to watch him interact with the letters. I look retarded in these pictures but...I wanted to show you me and Landon playing with his new magnets. There is also a picture of Landon holding his blanky! He loves his blanky! I washed it today so it's nice and clean and soft for him for bed tonight. It's getting late...and it's past his bedtime so I've gotta get my munchkin ready for bed.

Astle events!

Hi Everyone...
Just wanted to let everyone know how things are goin at the Astle home! Chris has been working hard at the airport, and I still get up with him early everyday to make sure he has breakfast. The airport will close down soon, and Chris will start another job at Beaver Creek Resort. He's been working there on his days off for training, and he said that he likes it, so I'm happy! I've been workin at the church, and Landon has been the best helper! He likes to ride on this little garbage cart thing thats at the church...and it is hilarious. I started making a game out of it and making "vroom vroom" noises, and he cracks up laughin. It's adorable! Landon has taken 2 naps today...I think I wore him out at the church today when we went there to clean so he's napping for the second time right now! He slept for like 3 hours this afternoon from like 10:30am until about 1:30pm, and it was so cute. Around 12:00pm, I took him out of his crib and laid him with me. He just snuggled for awhile until he decided he wanted to wake up and play!
I love being a mom...I dont know how some people like being single. I seriously have the best husband ever...and I really feel like I'm just greatful for what I have. I think about it a lot...when I actually have some time to think...(usually that's when Landon's sleeping or late at night when I'm the only one up). I know that we dont have all the money in the world...but I really feel like it doesn't matter. I appreciate the fact that we have "some" money to live off of...hehe but ya know? Money isn't everything! I'd rather be loved and have a family...than have all the money in the world.
I'm just lucky I guess!

Wing Night

So last night, Chris, me and Landon went to the "Tap Room" in Vail for wing night! It was a lot of fun, and it's only $5.00 a person for all you can eat wings, and they have different types of wings available. A guy that Chris works with at the airport owns the "The Tap Room" and so that's how we heard about the deal. Anyways, we noticed that Landon's Steeler hat is getting too small on him. It's his winter hat...the one that says "Future Steeler". Either his head is getting bigger or his hat is getting smaller. Actually...it's both if you think about it! Anyways...gotta go and get ready for another day of being a mommy!

Hey...so I'm finally getting back to babysitting. I was gone visiting Emily, Chad & Rayden for a weekend in Utah last week, and when I got back to Colorado, the family that I tend to...were ALL sick. I usually watch their kids 2 or 3 times a week...and make a good bit of money...however since they were all sick, we didn't wanna get Landon or me sick so we didn't end up babysitting! Too bad! I missed out on the cash...but I also had a week off! It was nice having a break though. Anyways today I'm going back over to their house for another day!

The Zaccheus Family ROCKS!

So lately...I've been working on collecting information for my family history. My church has encouraged us to continue working on it, and so I've been doing that. This past week, I was able to talk to my aunt Solidad for the first time ever. I also was able to talk to my aunt Tita (Alma) and she was really nice to me too! She was, at the time I was talking with her, visiting my grandpa Zaccheus and so I was able to speak with him too. What a blessing that was. I have always wanted to get to know my dad's family, and it was such a great opportunity to be able to talk to my grandpa who adopted my dad when he was very young. He's been really sick, and so I just feel blessed to be able to actually hear his voice...even if I never hear it again. He said that he would really like to meet me and my family, and it just meant a lot because...dude, that's my grandpa!
Anyways, just wanted to share that with ya'll! :)

Love you all!

I have a great husband!

Hey Everyone...just wanted to say hi, and tell everyone that things are going great here at our place! Landon is napping at the moment..so I actually have time to post a message! Chris is the best husband ever, and he really works hard for our family. I just wanted everyone to know that I really am lucky! Yesterday I was having the worst day...and he took Landon for about an hour while I cooked dinner...and it was just great! I was so stressed cause Landon kept throwing his chicken on the floor...and soon after it became a game with his sippy cup. I just wasn't really in the mood to play that game while I was cooking so Chris decided to take Landon. Yeah, he's a great husband, and I couldn't ask for anyone better.
Hope you all are doin great!

Landon wants to be like Cocoa

Dude...so yesterday Chris opened Cocoa's cage so that we could clean it out, and while I was helping Chris throw away the dirty litter, Landon decided he wanted to climb into Cocoa's cage. I walked into the mudroom, and saw Landon in the cage. I was like..."Landon, what are you doing in there?" and he started to pick up Cocoas food and eat it. I'm like...ugh, Yeah, Landon you dont eat that. I took him out of the cage, and he was soooo sad. He cried for like 10 minutes until we finished cleaning the cage. It was funny...but sad at the same time. Check out the pics!

Back in Action

Hey EVERYONE! I just wanted to do an update and tell everyone that we FINALLY have our computer back and it's running just fine! We even bought a new battery for it cause it was a way good deal!
Anyways, Hi Emily! and Hi dad! I haven't talked to you guys in awhile! I'm hoping your all doing fine. I'm glad Grandma Astle that your able to see my blog finally cause my colors aren't so extreme anymore! Anyways, Kent and Denise, we love you guys, and Brian and Lauren, and Evan and Ann, I hope you all are doing alright and we love you too. We miss you guys! Landon is walking all over the place. It's crazy! It's cute, but man, he IS SPOILED! I get annoyied at times cause he really is just spoiled and he knows it! I'm trying to break him from it...but he doesn't like it too much! I feel bad just letting him cry cause it gives me a headache, and I feel like it's mean but...trust me! HE IS SPOILED, and thats what he needs. I try ignoring him when he throws his fits, but man, it gives me a headache and it's tough. Thanks to all of the great family that we have..it's tough being away from you all. We're back in action now...so if you need anything..dont hesitate to email me! Love you all!

YAY STEELERS!

So today...The STEELERS beat the Chargers. They straight up whipped them! I'm happy too! Every team that has played so far...Chris and I have predicted the winner! Man, are we good or what? Next week will be a tough game for the STEELERS....just cause Baltimore has one of the best defenses in the league, but I KNOW that the STEELERS will pull it off! Baltimore is just another stepping stone for us to go to the SUPERBOWL. How about those STEELERS!

Today was eating a popsicle, and i was hiding it from landon cause usually if he sees it, he wants it! haha. Well...i figured i'd give in, and let him have the last part on the stick if he wanted it. So...heres a video of him eating it! I'm not sure if the video shows him laughin or not, but he was so excited when I first gave him the stick. haha He gives me these faces all the time...and they crack me up! He gets so excited when I give him candy or icecream. He just smiled. Check out the video

Best times of being a mother~

So, this morning...I took a shower while Landon was asleep. Well, I guess he had a bad dream or something, cause he woke up crying and he wanted me! I didn't know why he was crying so I hurried up and ran to his bedroom. Yeah, he pretty much just wanted me! It was the cutest thing. When I went into his room, I said, "Hows my baby doing?" and he actually answered me! It sounded like he said. "Good". It was so cute. Now,....... maybe he really didn't answer me, or maybe he really did! I'd like to think that he did though.
Anyways, I picked him up from his bed, and let him go into the bathroom with me while I finished showering. He played on the floor mostly...until he insisted on trying to get into the shower with me. He kept opening the shower curtain and the water was goin everywhere! I know that it wasn't the best decision to let him get water everywhere...so I did try not to get too much on the floor, but I couldn't help but admire Landon's will to get INTO the tub, and the curiosity of WHERE the water was coming from since it was coming from way over his head. It was the cutest thing! He laughed so hard and kept tilting his head trying to dodge the water from hitting his face. Of course I had a mess to clean up on the floor of the bathroom afterwards, but I didnt care. Landon is just the best baby ever, and I'm just so glad that I am mother. It's the little things....like this experience today that makes me KNOW that I wouldnt want my life any other way. It's the greatest blessing EVER!

Landon's first Happy Meal

On our way back to Colorado, from visiting our family in Utah, we stopped at McDonalds to get Landon his first Happy Meal. Ohh my goodness. It was just cute watching him drink out of the Apple Juice box. We got him the 6 piece nugget meal, and man, he chowed it down! He loves chicken nuggests. We got him an "under three" toy, and he loved it too! He just laughed and giggled. He thought it was so funny that I gave him the Whole nugget. Eventually I broke it into pieces cause he was able to eat it faster. Anyways, I wanted to show you all his first happy meal pics!
