Nixon - 13 Years!

Nixon, the cream in our double stuffed oreo, I love you so!  You're one of the sweetest boys I know.  You have a heart of gold and will do anything for anyone.  I love that you have such a kind, sweet soul.

At 13:
-you weigh 97.6 lb (40%)
-you are 62" tall (50%)
-you are wearing a Youth XL
-you have a size 7 shoe
-you want to be a Youtuber when you grow up
-you are in 7th Grade
-you found Cross Country last year and loved it!
-you discovered you're pretty good at playing the Saxophone

Nixon, you're such a sweetheart.  You are so independent that I forget you need me sometimes.  You have such a giving heart, but when you get mad, watch out!  You're so content all the time.  You still love to hug and you still get so excited over the smallest things.  I love your energy, your heart, and your dedication to those you love most.  Nixon, I hope that you never lose your joy and inner peace that seems to come so easy.  I love you butterbean!

Landon - 15 Years!

Landon, I can't believe it's been 15 years since you made me a parent!  You taught me so much about life, myself, and so much more!  It seems like you were born just yesterday and it seems like years all at the same time.  It's so true that the days are long and the years are short.  You're such a sweet boy with a heart of gold.  You don't conform to the world and I hope you always stay that way.  Sometimes your laid back personality gets under my skin, but I know your level of content will serve you well.  

At 15:
-you weigh 130.2 lb (57%)
-you are 5'9.25" (76%)
-you are wearing a size 10.5 shoe (crazy!)
-you are slowly bumping up to Adult Medium clothes

-started driving and are doing surprisingly well
-finally got your braces off!

Landon, I love you more than you'll ever know!  I hope that you stay just as you are forever and ever!

Hattie - 7 Years!

Hattie, my little love bug, you are 7!  You're such a sweet, motherly type.  One of your downfalls is you love too much, but I say that's okay!  You love to cuddle and quality time is definitely your love language.  I love that you still love your babies and you carry them around everywhere.  You're definitely a social butterfly and you love to be right where your people are.  Your favorite thing to do is accessorize and you're still great and knowing right where you left something.  

At 7, you:
-weigh 47.3 lb (30%)
-are 46" tall (13%)
-love the color purple
-love your Peppa Pig blanket still
-had your first broken bone (wrist - June 2020)
-want to be a teacher and a moma to four kids one day
-still keep up with all the catchphrases (bruh, come at me, dope to name a few)
-loved tumble, but you're not really interested in any other sports
-love to run errands with me, never complaining about all the stores we visit

Hattie, I just love that my last baby loves to hang out with me so much.  I see many mother/daughter trips with you in the future.  You're the sweetest girl and you love with your whole heart.

Lily - 9 Years!

Lily, my little Goose, is 9!  One more year and we'll be entering the double digits! Lily, you're a girl with a lot of emotions.  You're sweet and then sour at the drop of a hat.  But, that sour side doesn't last long.  All we have to do is give you a little hug or kiss and you go back to your sweet self.  You are a girl who's always known exactly what you wanted and you're just stubborn enough to get it! 

At 9, Lily:
-weighs 56.8 lb (21%)
-is 4'8.8" tall (21%)
-finally bumped up to a Youth Medium in clothes
-will start soccer this year, but still loves to play basketball
-is in 3rd Grade and doing great
-got her first set of braces this year
-loves the color pink
-wears tennis shoes every day to school because she can run in those and she can't if she wears boots or flip flops
-still loves love
-talks all the time about her future...but her plans on what she intends to be change often




Lily, you're my little firecracker.  I love you so much, but you're not afraid to tell me you're a Daddy's girl.
