My baby isn't a baby anymore!



Landon turned 2 on the 6th! So crazy how fast it goes. I realize that 2 is not entirely that old, but he is my baby. It was last week when he was born, wasn't it? He is so stinking cute, and sometimes I wish he could just stay at this stage for ever. Landon has always been an easy kid. I was so lucky with him as a baby. He never, ever cried. I'm hoping to have as much luck through his terrible two's. He definitely has they same stubborn side as his brother and sister.


We are working on taking his binki away. All three of my kids have been binki babies. But Landon has hung on to his a bit longer then I would like. So I said by age two he would no longer have it, except for at night. He actually has done really well. He even hands it to me now, before getting out of bed. Such a good boy, makes life easy. Happy birthday little man!

Kindergarten Graduation!

Oh, the joys of kindergarten. Jaxson and Reese had a fantastic year this year! Reese specifically did so much better, and has come such a long way in a short amount of time. She has surprised me by coming out of her shy little shell. She reminds me of me when I was young, being so quit and reserve. Only now she isn't that timid little girl any more. I know it's only kindergarten, and that they have a billion more years of school, but I'm so proud of them thus far in their great accomplishments!!

This year they were in the same class together. This is them with their teacher, Mrs. Ewing. She is an amazing K- teacher, and the twins just adore her. Three days into summer and already they miss her.
They both amaze me all the time with how dang smart they are. I don't know what I'm going to do when they reach 3rd grade and I can no longer help them in school, because they will know more than I do. With them both doing so well, I thought that I'd split them up next year for 1st grade. When I mentioned it to them, they both got really upset, and started crying. They said that they wanted to remain in the same class together, that they would miss each other, and that they loved each other. Shocking since they are constantly fighting. But it melts your heart when your kids get a long and actually say that they love each other. So... I did what any mom would do... and together they will be.
