First Day of 3rd Grade!!

Landan's doing really well so far.  I had a talk with his teachers and so far, so good. They both say he's doing fantastic.  Let's hope that continues.

Big Shoes to Fill

Kylie is my little accessorizor.  She loves shoes.

Phillip's blessing

A couple weeks ago we went to San Antonio to witness the blessing of our new nephew/cousin Phillip.  He is such a cutie.  We got to stay in a hotel which the kids loved, and spend some time with family.  Welcome to the family Phillip!

 

 

 The kids found a a place (behind the podium) to play hide and seek while we were waiting for the bishop.

 We had a great time playing with our cousins.  We love visiting family!

Happy Birthday Landan!

We kept Landan's birthday pretty lowkey this year because we are planning a party in Sept with his friends.  First we started out with the traditional panCAKES for breakfast.  

 Then he chose Mimi Biscuits for dinner.  For those that don't know, these are biscuits my grandma made when I was a kid.  You eat them with butter mixed with Cane Syrup and dip your biscuit in it.  It's really good and really sugary.

 Then he had an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins.  It has cute little ice cream cones on it.

 Present time!  He got a new church bag (which I made from a tutorial online) to put all his quiet activities in, and some scriptures, and a Nintendo DS with 2 games.  He was pretty excited about that part.

I can't believe my first little baby is 8 yrs old.  He's a big kid now, not a little kid.  He's such a sweetheart. He's so helpful around the house.  He's always looking for things to help with.  He loves taking care of his sisters, still working on getting along with his brother.  He's doing so well in school.  He loves to read which I am so excited about.  And he's good at math and science too.  He LOVES TV and video games and he loves playing imaginary games too.  He makes new friends so easily he's got tons of them at school because he accepts everyone just as they are.  Big or small he'll be friends with anyone.

I Love My Brother!

Lexie 4 months

 I'm a little behind but here are some pictures from when Lexie turned 4 months.  She loves playing with her toes.  She loves sitting up and looking at people. She's not usually happy laying down, she wants to be sitting up watching people.  She thinks her brother Landan is just hilarious.  She laughs at just about everything he does.  She will coo a lot to Mommy, Daddy, and Landan.  She also likes peek-a-boo.  She weighed 12 lbs, 12 oz at her Dr. appt and is 23.5 in long.  She is such a sweet baby and so easy.  She only gets fussy when she is tired and as long as she is wrapped up tight, she's happy and goes right to sleep. 

Building with marshmallows

 These are where most of Kylie's marshmallows ended up.
