Let me just tell you, I love these 4 kids (and their dog) so much! They are the reason I do everything I do. Some days can be so stressful for so many reasons, but in the end they are each and every one of them such amazing little creatures. Ok I know Bailey and Courtney are growing out of the little stage, but they are, have been and always will be...my babies!
Bailey is in 8th grade now and is a social butterfly! She gets more beautiful every single day! The other day I sat down and told her stories about her being 3 (which was my favorite stage with both Bailey and Courtney). She sat with me for the longest time just listening and laughing. The days where she is around for more than an hour before hibernating to her cave in the basement are far and few. I will take them where ever I can get them. Her and Courtney fight quite a bit (probably because they share a bathroom) but overall Bailey is a great big sister. We are so proud of all the accomplishments and even the struggles Bailey has been through, we love you Bailey!
Courtney is in 5th grade now. I still struggle with the fact she isn't the chubby toddler with blonde uncontrollable hair and a messy face I remember so well. Courtney is a straight A student and is disappointed if she gets an A-. She has become quite the great little dancer and has performed in many competitions, including Tuacahn Theater in St. George. She is quickly becoming more and more like her sister in the fact that she is spending more time on how she looks everyday, and clothes have become very important to her. She is very protective of her siblings and her parents. Courtney is a go getter and easy to get along with, we love you Courtney!
Tayler is in 3rd grade and also like Courtney she does very well. She enjoys reading and doing puzzles often. Tayler has just decided to quit dancing and is ready to try something new. She will be starting ice skating lessons in January, and who knows maybe she will be able to combine this with her previous talent and find something completely new she loves to do. Tayler is always willing to help, and never argues if you ask her to do something. She just wants to please everyone. She is such an easygoing kid, we love you Tayler!
In the mix off all these girls, we have Landon. He is in 1st grade this year and has had some struggles but is working hard to overcome those. He is doing a great job! He has improved on his reading so much and can read entire books on a 2nd grade level completely on his own now. Landon has been playing Tball for 3 years and will be moving to machine pitch this year. He even tried a season of soccer and really enjoyed that. He is excited to turn 8 so he can start playing football. If you can't tell already he is just the sports nut his dad needs to stay sane. Landon has been growing up so much over the last few years and it is very hard for me. Each step he takes is the last time as parents we will experience the one before. With that said, I love to watch him grow....all of our kids are so unique but he is just different in every single way. We love you Landon!!
