Landon turns 11 years old!

 Landon was not a very happy camper this year for his birthday because we had just moved across the country from MI to AL and he was missing his friends and asking daily, "when are we going HOME?"  Well, since this is our new home, we tried to make it as fun for his as possible.  We met up with The Hodge Family and The Mello Family at Six Flags in Atlanta, GA.  It was so hot!  The park ran out of ice and everyone had heat exhaustion, but it didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves and our friends.

                                                     Got him a giant chocolate chip cookie!

               And I think the thing that made being away from "home" is the dirt bike that his dad got him!
                                                             Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

Rylie turns 13!!! What?

My Baby is 13!  

Two months after we moved from MI to AL Rylie turned 13.  Hard to believe so much time has gone by.  Next year she'll be going off to the high school.  I remember Nathan and I having a conversation about her going to high school and how far away that seemed...when she was in elementary school.  I remember people telling me to cherish every moment because it goes by so fast.  Now I know what they meant and I catch myself feeling sad that I didn't.  Rylie is turning into be quite the amazing young lady.  Still a passion for animals and all things reptile!  Yuck!  She wants to be a nurse when she gets older.  Her newest interest is in becoming a mid-wife.  I hope she knows that we are here for her to help her achieve whatever it is that her heart desires!  We love you Ry!!!

One for fun!  hahaha!  I'm sure that having a teenager will make me feel like this most days!
