Well, today is Landen's 8th birthday! I can't believe I'm old enough to have an 8 year old, but I do. We celebrated last Saturday with a swimming party at the community center. We had a great time, although it was a little hot inside the pool area! All his grandparents got to come and join in the fun (plus help take care of baby sister.)
Landen, here are the things I think of when I think of you. You are a very polite and tenderhearted boy. You are very caring (most of the time!) for your little brother and sister. You LOVE nascar - especially Jeff Gordon. You also love baseball, football, and watching ESPN. You like to play outside - whether its shooting the basketball, playing catch, throwing the football, roller blading, or riding your bike. Your quite athletic! You also spend a lot of time playing your playstation 2 and gameboy. You make great grades in school and I don't have any behavior problems with you. We are very proud of you for being accepted to "Alpha" which you were just tested for and is a program for "gifted & talented" kids. Way to go! You also love to wrestle with dad and you want to please him at all times. Sometimes, you are a little to hard on yourself.
Some of your chores as an 8 year old include sorting your laundry, making your bed, watching your siblings on occasion, starting to empty the dishwasher (which you do a great job!) and various other things as needed. You really don't complain about them too much.
Today, we plan on taking you out to eat lunch and then you have a baseball game tonight. Stay tuned for baseball news - we have a feeling we are going to get rained out.
On another note, Matt and I are trying to get the house ready. A For Sale sign is going in the yard on Monday. I can't believe it is time for us to move again. The timeframe is still up in the air - we were told July and now they are trying to bump us back up to June. We are hoping for the July date for a number of reasons. Wish us luck! We've got a busy weekend ahead and the market isn't to good around here. Anyone want to buy a house?? lol
Well, Happy Birthday Landen!!! We love you..... Keep up the good work and stop growing!!
