Day 1

I know I barely update my other blog but I thought i'd give this one a try... I have 14 days of catch-up so i'll do my best.


Tell something about each of your children - the personalities, talents, and traits that make them different and special.

Oh boy.. well, my Landon definitely has a personality. He was born big, and has stayed big. He's a tall boy with a big head (its full of brains!!) He has a smile that melts my heart, and a laugh that fills me with pure joy. He is smart, determined, hilarious, witty, curious, outdoorsy, stubborn and loving. He is always trying to make a deal. the other night, he was in the tub and said, "Ok mom. When you get ava out and youre done drying her hair, I will get out of the tub and go to bed. Its just a SHORT, SHORT time you know. Is that a deal?"
He loves all things associated with the ocean, and cant wait to go to Sea World in July.
He's been known to be a "handful" (is that the nice word for it?). He was an absolute dream baby, but once he hit 18 months it was all downhill...he used to throw tantrums in the store to the point where I was the one in tears, run away from me in parking lots, say some very naughty words, etc. However, im happy to report he is FINALLY outgrowing that stage...very slowly.
I love him so much. My world would not be complete without him.

Now Ava has been a difficult one since day 1. She came out screaming and has been everyday since. She is full of attitude and spunk. She has an awesome lithp that makes me laugh. She had a soft and scratchy voice for a long time, but has since gone away. Im sad about that one. I loved her little voice. She is dramatic, determined, brave, adventurous, happy, cuddly, funny and has the prettiest eyes.
When I found out she was a girl and not a boy ( I wanted her to be a boy SO bad.) I cried. Now that I look back, I cannot imagine having anyone in our family but her. She brings so much to our home. She is definitely a daddy's girl. She cant wait to go hunting with Daddy and Landon when she gets a little bigger.
My kids are my whole life. Im greatful I have the privilage of being their mother and hope that maybe someday I can be half as good as they deserve.+
