Just getting started

Well, today I decided I am going to get busy and start creating a family blog. I know this just adds to the many scrapbooking items I put together, but something updated often will be fun! This has been a fun year for our family. I quit my job at American Fork High School and now I am a stay at home mom. I am loving being at home. Landon definately needs me here. He turned 2 in June and definately acts like a 2 year old. He is very stubborn and tries to get his way. Generally he does not get his way, but occasionally he does. I guess that is ok for him to get his way. He is slowly working on potty training and working on staying in his big boy bed. He has learned to trace lines and to say new words. His favorite new word is TRAIN! Of course that is his favorite word since Grandpa Anderson has one going around his yard. Lately, I have been working on my family calendar for next year and Landon sits in my lap and says the kids names as we go through them. It is so exciting to know that he is learning his cousin's names. It is absolutely wonderful to see him excited to learn new words and new things. He is also learning shapes and colors. He has a shape cube and has figured out how it works. AWESOME!

Alan has been with Heritage Makers for 2 years now and he is loving it. Every day brings him new challenges especially right now since they are moving the ware house around. He is currently the Warehouse supervisor, but soon will hopefully be the Warehouse Manager. This change gives him more opportunities to grow with the company. The company recently flew him and his boss to California for a day to look at a piece of equipment so that they can start doing more items in house. We look forward to these opportunities when he can do more for the company.

Since I am a stay at home mom now, I have been able to focus more on my current job. My current job is selling Scentsy from home. This has been a great opportunity for me to go out and meet many new people. This gives me the chance to see new places and earn a little extra income for the family. This has definately helped us out a lot more than we expected. Since my focus has gone to Scentsy and being home, I am stress free. It is really helping me relax and enjoy Landon more and more! Since I have been home, I have been able to help with more things with my mom and sisters. I get to go out and do things with people and I don't have to try to work around a work schedule. ITS GREAT!
