Landon's First Job

Landon started his first job yesterday. He has been so excited and anxiously awaiting this day. Our neighbor is a school teacher and cheerleading coach. On days she has games she needs someone to let Dixie out and walk her. Landon gladly volunteered for this position. After school it is his responsibility to go get her and let her go to the bathroom and get some exercise.

Landon has wanted a dog for a very long time. He is really hoping he can prove he can take care of a dog and wants to save his money to buy a dog. We will have to see!!!

Due Date

If I remember correctly, my due date is February 23, 2009. Somewhere around there anyway!!

Family Poem

Here we are it is August
The end of summer blues
Mia's birthday is this month
And we have some other news
You might think we won the lottery
What else could we say
We have kept a secret
And have done so day to day
Our news is not uncommon
And it comes directly from Heaven
At this time we have been blessed
With Fowler number six...and possibly number seven
For those of you in a panic
We were just having some fun
The doctor has confirmed
That there is only one
We are thankful for our families
And all of your support
We have one more piece of info
That we feel we must report
Having all these children
Has been fun as you can see
For those who think we're done
We make no guarantee

Zack wrote an alternate ending that I prefer:

Having all these children
Has been tons and tons of fun
In order to retain our sanity
We think we may be done

Oh, Boy!!!

"Mom look at Cy!!!", Logan yelled. I walked around the corner to find him standing on the table holding on to the bottom of the light. I thought big brother had assisted him, but when I got him down he climbed right back up by himself. Thank goodness Piper was in bed. Just the other day Cy started opening the refrigerator too. Not that I got much done before, but I really am not going to get anything done now. I can't take my eyes off him for two seconds. When the phone rang this morning, I went to answer it and he took off running to the table. He thought he was pretty funny!!! It is a good thing he is so cute!!

Mia's First Day of School

Yesterday was Mia's first day of school. She used one word to describe it "FABULOUS"! She has had such a positive attitude about this year. She did not get the teacher she wanted and there were only two people from her class last year in her class. It didn't bother her. She said I'm sure my teacher will be great and I can just make some new friends. With an attitude like that, she will do great anywhere. We are looking forward to a great year!!Poor Logan has had the hardest time with the kids going back to school. For about the first two weeks he cried every morning we dropped Landon off at school. He finally adjusted to that, but now we are trying to adjust to Mia being at school. He was very upset this morning when Mia had to go to school. Landon and Mia created an imaginary friend for him named Kanoe. Kanoe can play with Logan while Landon and Mia are at school. Hopefully he will adjust and get use to the fact that Landon and Mia have to go to school every morning. In September he will be going to preschool two days a week. Hopefully that will help. I can't say I blame Logan. I hate dropping them off at school and would rather them be at home playing too. I don't hate it enough to home school though :).

Dr. J's Party

Friday night Landon's orthodontist hosted a huge party for all his patients and their families. We went last year so we knew what to expect. They have tons of inflatables, climbing wall, face painting, free food, music, and much more. Of course I didn't take my camera to get any pictures of the fun. It was a great night. The kids loved every minute except when it was time to go.

Bathroom troubles

Last night Mia comes running downstairs and screams, "There is poop all over the bathroom!" She tends to be a drama queen so I was hoping she was exaggerating. Daddy was working on spelling words with Landon so I went upstairs to check out the situation. She was not exaggerating. It was all over the wall, floor, toilet, and child. I was not looking forward to this clean-up. While I took care of the child and got him bathed and cleaned, I asked Mia to go get me the cleaning supplies. When she came back I told her she could clean the bathroom. I was just joking, but her response was so funny to me. She said, "You are the one who chose to be a mommy, so you have to clean this up." I am sure I have said something similar to that to her and she had no problem turning it around on me.
