Laney's 4 Year Old Check Up

Laney had her 4 year old check up last week. We were a little late since she has been sick and we had to reschedule. She is still at the top of the growth charts for her age. She is 40.5 inches tall and 44 lbs. She had to get 4 shots and barely cried. She is a tough little girl. I thought I would take this time to update on her latest skills.

Motor Skills: Hopping, Skipping, and dribbling the basketball. She wants to take gymnastics or dance so that will be our next adventure.

Academics: She just learned to write her name and is learning to recognize simple sight words. She can't wait to read like her brother.

Favorite Foods: Lucky Charms, Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, Chick-n-minis, and mints

Favorite Drink: Sweet Tea or Milk

Not so crazy about: turtlenecks, Shelby (the new dog), or having the tangles combed out of her hair

A new Driver in the Family..

Yes he already drives better than his mother. I am still terrified to drive go carts. I am glad he did not inherit my phobia.

My Self Portrait

Logan drew a picture of me. I thought is was cute.

Happy Birthday Logan!

My sweet boy turns 6 years old Friday. Six years ago at 7:59 p.m. he made me a mommy. I am so thankful for every day I have with him. In the last year he has grown and changed so much. I can really tell my little boy is growing up. He has already read 60 books this year. He can write sentences and do math problems. He loves his dogs and his sister.

Happy Birthday Logan!

Adopt a Shelter Pet

I want to introduce you to our adopted sweetheart Shelby. She is a 6 month old lab/bloodhound mix. She was rescued from a "kill shelter" by a rescue group. They had her along with other dogs at Petco Saturday to be adopted. Once you looked in her sweet eyes, you couldn't say no. Now we are a 3 dog family and I must avoid Petco on future adoption days or we are going to end up with a zoo.

Valentine Surprise

The kids were thrilled to receive Valentine cards from Granny and Papa with McDonald gift cards. Thanks Granny and Papa!
