My Great Idea!

I have decided that since it seems that everyone has a blog these days, maybe it is my turn! I just think it is a fun way for family and friends to stay in touch and keep up with each other. Now that facebook has decided to become so complicated, this should be easier! I am going to try to update as often as I can--but beware!! We seem to have a crazy life :)

This Friday is Brent's 27th birthday! Yikes ;) I can't believe that he/we are not too far from 30! Scary. I remember being 10 and thinking i'd never make it to 16...much less 30! Now Landan isn't too far from 10. It doesn't seem possible. He turned nine in december, and is almost as tall as I am! I knew it would happen, just not soo soon! He is doing great in school and amazing when it comes to sports. His favorite sport is basketball, and he can kick Brent's booty any day!! I don't hardly even try. I can't even shoot the ball when he is in front of me with his arms up..ha! He loves loves loves the Texas Longhorns! Brent is his basketball coach..so Landan got to name the team and decide on the team colors. I bet you can guess both!..He is so amazed with Colt McCoy--and as a parent, I am completely fine with that. If your child is going to look up to someone, I am just thankful he chooses Colt. He is such a awesome Christian guy--and Landan recognizes that. He was laying in bed Monday night and we were talking. He said something that I thought was so amazing!! He said, "Mom, you know what is cool? Colt McCoy waited his whole life to play that Championship game, but he didn't get to play...and he was ok with it." We went on to talk about how God holds the greatest plans for our life...We are so thankful that He does!!!

Saturday, Landan will have his last basketball game, then it's on to baseball. Tryouts Saturday, too. Cam doesn't have to try out, but he will be playing t-ball this year!! We are so excited to watch both of them play. We know Landan does a great job, and really loves baseball. Last year he started pitching and did a pretty great job, I might add :) Camden is just more of the theatrical type..so it will be interesting. He is super excited though, and has been practicing every day for the last 2 weeks! He is such a little comedian, as usual. You have to watch him..you never know what is going to come out of his mouth!! A day or 2 ago, I was tucking him in bed. He grabbed my face and looked into my eyes. He said, "Mommy, you are the best Mommy in the whole wide world." He went on to say, "Dad told me to say that!!" What a little stinker! He is such a silly kid :) He is just a smaller version of his Daddy.

Little Morgan is just Morgan...busy as a bee and into EVERYTHING! His personality is really coming out. Just as headstrong as Camden and just a little monkey. He spends his time chasing after Lucy, our shih-tzu and climbing to the top of tables and jumping off. I'm not joking either. He loves to climb...and JUMP! He also loves Scooby Doo and ICARLY. He talks 24/7 and is spoiled rotten, just like his older brothers.

Brent is still working here in Waco, for WraSer Pharmaceuticals. He travels to different areas most days, so remember him in your prayers! I stay home with the boys and keep Kyle and Katelynn Benson. They are like my own and so precious to our family!! I'm hoping to post some pictures of the boys soon!
