Little Annoyances in life

there's a car alarm nearby that goes on for hours and the owner is nowhere to be found 

there's a cop car in sight and everyone thinks they have to drive 10-15 mph slower than the speed limit 

you're reading a magazine and all those annoying little subscription cards keep falling out 

you tell someone that a door is locked and they try to open it anyway, like it'll magically open for them and not you. 

someone says, "well, to make a long story short" and then they go on telling it for another 15 minutes. 

a friend or family member says "Yuck! This is awful!!" and then tells you to try some. 

you have to inform five different sales people in the same store that you're just looking around. 

you rub on hand cream and can't turn the bathroom doorknob to get out. 

there's a dog in your neighborhood that barks at EVERYTHING. 

Someone gets in the express lane at the supermarket and writes a check or uses a credit card. 

the elevator stops at every floor and nobody gets on. 

The phrase, "Believe you me." It just doesn't make sense.

Text talk - OMG, IDK, ILY should not be used in every day conversation...

If you watch the show - you understand. I do not need to further explain. It's all in the title of this post.

Baby Dedication

On Mother's day we committed in front of God and our Church to raise Landon in a Christian home. I was thrilled to be able to do this on Mother's day. My first Mother's day that is ;) We were given a certificate with the life verse we chose for Landon and the meaning of this name. I love the name Landon. I have ever since I completed the book, A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. I guess when you pick a name for your child you want the meaning of their name to have this amazing meaning. Well, upon researching the name Landon - it basically means, Long Hill. Long Hill? Really? Not exciting at all. So....We went with the meaning of Reichert, Strong One. Much better :) The life verse we chose for Landon is my hearts' desire for him:

"The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden like an ever-flowing spring." Isaiah 58:11


Which oddly enough is the same life verse selected for his destined best friend, Trenton :) Great minds think alike Molly!


 Love my little man :)

Great family shot!

Baby dedication was a beautiful experience. Chad and I are committed to raising Landon in a Christ loving home :)

4 months!!

Dear Landon,

You hit the four month mark on Memorial Day baby boy! I have to constantly wrap my head around how you are growing each and every day. You had a wonderful four month check up weighing in at whopping 17.9 lbs and 26 inches in length. 90'th percentile for weight and 85th for height! Rock on baby boy! You were not a fan of the four month shots. Watching the panic in your eyes made me tear up. She told us we could start you on solids twice a day...I didn't offer up that we had been for about two weeks prior but you were hungry :)  You are totally rolling over and trying desperately to crawl. Your best attempts come when you get frustrated during tummy time and you stick your booty up in the air and dig. Not there yet but you will be soon, I'm sure! You are sitting up decently. You pull up all the time. You want to so bad. So determined in everything you do. I can see now that you are going to be such a determined young man :) You have begun the wonderful phase of teething. Drooling like crazy and chewing on everything. Any toy or stuffed animal goes straight to the mouth...every time - never fails. You experienced the lake for the first time. You didn't seem to mind it. You did however stare at the water and I think you were trying to figure out why the water looked different from bath time!! You laugh more and more each day. Your eyes make me melt. I love to see you grow and learn new things all the time. It's amazing. To think you were in my tummy four months ago - God is amazing. We love you baby boy!

Love,
Mom and Dad <3

Ridiculist

If these two are supposedly dating I have to add it to the list. I have no clue of the validity of this but it would totally gross me out. Justin is 30 while Ashley is 24....Age factor not gross. Unfortunately for Miss. Ashley - When I look at her I still see Michelle and that makes it icky for me. ha!

His laughter makes my heart smile

Last night, oh my goodness, Landon was cracking up. This is the hardest we have heard him laugh. We introduced a new toy that makes squeak noises and we are pretty sure he likes the new toy :) Enjoy!

Ridiculist

There are so many things I find to be ridiculous on The Jersey Shore that I would be blogging for days. I will admit I have probably watched this show a handful of times. Sometimes as a result of nothing else being on. Towards the end of pregnancy there wasn't much sleep taking place and many late nights. I still cannot fully wrap my head around the fact that there are people in the world like this. Why oh why did MTV agree to pay them $100,000 per episode for the next season????  At times all I can come up with is wow. So in essence - The Jersey Shore has made my Ridiculist for the week.

The duck phone makes me laugh. These people are seriously from the Jersey Shore and always looking for a fight and more often than not they take place on the phone. So here they are like yelling and screaming into a duck. And it totally quacks when it rings.

 and these glasses I have no words but no.
