Day 5- ( a day late)

Day 5- Favorite Quote--
My favorite quote is --

Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much
 I think it pretty much sums up everything you should do in life :)  It is also on my papaws tombstone.  I just love it! 


Day 6 will be posted later!  I am off to clean some houses now :) 

Day 4-- Favorite Book

Favorite Book-- 

 I have just discovered my love for books! I used to hate reading when I was in school but now I love it!  My most recent favorite book(s) are the Twilight Saga.

I love anything written by Nicholas Sparks or Debbie Macomber also.  I am really wanting to get some Beth Moore books too.

30 Day Blog Journal

 I have been slacking lately on my blogging!  I really want to work on it since it is such a good way to remember our life :)  I decided to do this 30 day blog journal even though I am 3 days behind!

Day 1- Favorite Song--

This is a really hard decision!  I love music!  I think right now my favorite song is Something Beautiful--NeedToBreathe.   I also really like The House That Built Me--Miranda Lambert.  I love lots of other songs but we would be here all day :)

Day 2-- Favorite Movie--

We used to watch movies all the time so I have several favorites.  We still watch them on the weekends after Landen is in bed. 

My favorite two movies are-- 

Dirty Dancing and Grease

I also love The Notebook, The Twilight Saga, Cinderella Story, P.S. I love you, and Father of the Bride I and II.  I could go on all day about movies I love!  That is one of our favorite things to do!

 Day 3--Favorite Television Program--

We love Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Desperate Housewives

This summer we watched True Beauty, Pretty Little Liars, and I watched Bachlorette!  Justin wasn't crazy about it but he likes the others.   Usually around here our TV has one of these on---

But I wouldn't change a thing!!!  We love these shows now because Landen LOVES them! He gets so excited when they come on :)

Show Us Your Life--Kids Names/Future Kids Names

 I have always thought a lot about baby names. I have always known I wanted to have babies when I got older and I love reading baby name books!  When I got pregnant with our son it took us a few weeks to agree on a name for him. I knew we were using Ray as a middle name for a boy because Ray is Justins middle name, his dads middle name, and my step dads middle name. I LOVE family names! We finally decided on....

LANDEN RAY

 

I love that his name is spelled different than most boys with that name. Hopefully he will not be named the same as ten other boys in his class in school.

For a girl we had...

BROOKLYN LEIGH

I still REALLY like Leigh, but Brooklyn has become very trendy and I know a lot of girls with that name.  I would like to use Leigh as a first name but I can't think of a middle name for it.  I also love ELLA and KATE.  

 We have a while to think of other names, since we are planning on waiting a while for a second baby.  

Random

WOW! It has been a long time since I have posted anything.  We have been SO busy lately and this whole week Landen has been sick.  He started out with an eye infection and now he has a horrible cough and is really ill so we go back to see the dr today. Hopefully he can give him something to help. 

  I can't believe that Landen is almost a year old!!  Time really flies.  He will be 11 months on the 11th and last Tuesday he weighed 23 pounds!! He is learning all kinds of new things.  His favorite thing is clapping.  It is so cute :)  I will post all his new things and more about him on the 11th (when I can do his 11 month post).  This weekend we are making his birthday pictures to use for his invitations.  His party is going to be Elmo and I am making really cute invitations and decorations with the Cricut machine my mom got for Christmas. 
This is my sweet mess maker :)

Show us your life- baby gear!

Ok so I have never done one of the show us your life posts but I thought this one was GREAT!

As a shower gift we got the Graco travel system with the stroller and car seat. I would definitely recommend this! The stroller is SO easy to fold up. Landen is already out of the infant seat but the stroller will be GREAT for a long time and he really loves it.


Our favorite baby carrier is Baby K'tan! It is so great. You can carry the baby 8 ways and until they weigh 42 pounds! We have a brown one just in case we happen to have a girl later :) This is Landen's favorite way to be carried in it now.
We also LOVE our pacifier rinser from babies r us! you mix water with a little bit of mouth wash and it sprays the pacifier or bottle nipple in case you drop it and are not near soap and water :)
We also love the Rainforest Jumperoo! It entertains Landen for a long time!!!
We have the best travel bottle warmer! It's prince lionheart and you can reuse it. You snap a disk inside to warm it and then you boil the pack of crystals until they turn into liquid again :)

We have many other favorite such as..... boppy pillow (necessity for nursing), medela swing pump, tiny diner tray, wipe warmer, summer video monitor, Graco Comfort Sport car seat, aquarium tub, bottle brush, munchkin bottle warmer/pacifier sterlizer, rainforest take along swing, playtex vent air bottles, infantino high chair cover, and carters diaper bag with stroller straps!!!! I love being a mom!
