Happy 6th Birthday Tootie

Just as I get us to my new teenager, a week later, Tootie turns 6. HELP! I don't want my boys to grow up. Their birthdays are bitter sweet for me. They are a lot of fun though. Tootie had a 22 foot slide, cotton candy, sno cones, and water. He has the cutest little friends - girls and boys. He loves playing with the girls too - my little casanova. He was so exhausted at the end of the day, but had such a blast. It is always worth all the work and effort.

My Teenage Son

It seems so hard to believe that Colton is already 13 years old. I still have such vivid memories of him being a baby. He has become the typical young teenager, always looking somewhat pained and when i ask what is wrong, "Nothing." ,is the usual respons Time to prepare myself. He is a good kid though and such a great helper to me.

Love our Condo

It has always been alot of fun for us to spend time in St George. Especially with ALexia and her family there. Getting our condo down there was one of the best things we were able to do. Winter, Fall and SPring are great times to be down there. SUmmer, however is way too hot for us. We were down there this week, and it was 107 degrees. Only thing to do is spend time in the pool. I was really worried about Landon because he is so fair. Even with 50 SPF, he still managed to get his little arms burned. Worse thing, was Mac not putting sunscreen on his shoulders because he forgot to wear his swim shirt. He got a really bad burn and had to stay out of the sun for the last few days. It is always fun for the boys to play with Markham and Jonah who they really love.

Life Passes Us By

It has been a long year for me. I have spent a lot of time serving on the PTA, and have spent that time lugging poor little Landon every where with me. He has literally spent his first year at school, in meetings or at activities. He has been such a good sport about it. But I think, in all my distraction, he seems to have grown up way too quickly. I look at him now, and see a little boy, not a baby anymore. He is cutting his third tooth, learnt to sit up one day, and started crawling all over the place. This week he is trying to pull up on everything. I don't want this too go by so quickly - the are little for such a short time. I know he is going to be a little mover, because from day one in my tummy, he was constantly turning, kicking and moving everywhere. On delivery day, they constantly had to move the monitors because he was flipping every where. He is such a delight in our family though. Mac gets him to laugh like no other. My boys are all so different yet amazing in their own right.
