Landyn has decided that sleep is for wimps ;)

Well, for the most part, both of my other boys were ok nappers. Not this little guy. He has decided that sleep is no fun. He would rather stay awake and watch his brothers or me. He doesn't cry...he just hangs out and gets bags under his eyes because his is so tired. Ugh. This is really tiring mom out though. I need a maid. Therefore, I have decided to buy 1 lottery ticket every week. You never know right? Well, besides not sleeping, Landyn is really a cutie and batting at things now. He smiles and giggles to himself all the time while he is staring at his toys. He is pretty content most of the time - except from 6:30pm-8pm. Then he needs to be held or sang to. Rob is pretty good at doing stuff one handed nowadays! For now, we have decided that 3 children is enough for our family. I may change my mind years down the road, but for now, we are good with 3!

Gavin's first day of school - FIRST GRADE!

Well, it's official....Gavin is a first grader. I was ok when I took him to school. At least until I turned around to look at him one last time sitting in his desk in the back row. He smiled his nervous smile and did his little wave and I promptly turned around, walked into the hall and burst out crying. I couldn't help it. I played a little mental slideshow of him coming home from the hospital...his first smile...his first word (which was "clock"). All the parents were staring at me but I couldn't help it! He LOVES his teacher and says first grade is better than kindergarten.
We were enjoying the last few days of summer on Tuesday with the boys. Ashtin loves the water and they had a blast. I feel like the summer went too fast this year!
Here is a picture of Rob and I...courtesy of the next door neighbor kid Andrew! He did a pretty good job for an 8 year old!

Lastly, here are some photos of my cutie pie Landyn. He is 2 months old already and smiling and cooing. He loves when I sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and kicks his legs and coos. He is getting more animated every day.
