birthday bash

My Mom shares a birthday with my cousin, Jeremy.  I also share a birthday with my Aunt (his Mom).  Strangely this wasn't planned.  Jeremy and I were born on our Aunts' 30th birthdays on top of that!  Weird, huh?  In addition to those birthdays, Landon shares a birthday with his Aunt on Aaro…

i now have buttons...grab one!

Okay, so everyone and their cousin has a blog button to link to their blogs on here, so I thought I would finally get with the times and join in.  Plus, if I have enough followers one day, I may even have a challenge or two and create yet another button.  *wink*  This is so fun.  And, maybe a littl…

mixed emotions

To start things off, Landon had to be put on ADHD medication recently. I always knew it would come to this since he has always been our active child.
