I am really sleep deprived lately, because I have been struggling with Dylan not sleeping well at night. He does not like pacifiers, he has not been crazy about the solid food I have introduced to him, he has been cutting teeth and now he has a cold. I think last night I only got 1-2 hours of sleep. Any of you other Moms out there have any suggestions for me? I keep thinking it will get better. (Let's hope so!) :)

Today is my 30th birthday. Although I am not technically considered old, today has really reminded me how fast time goes and how much I should cherish the time my family is here with me. So my goal for the next year is to slow down, and to really enjoy my husband & children, so I don't miss out!!!! Sometimes it is too easy to let life get in the way. I don't want that regret 25 years down the road.
I also wanted to say Happy Birthday to my little birthday buddy.
Happy Birthday Logan, you are the best birthday gift I ever received!!!! I love you. (MOM)

Reflections 2009
I was informed tonight that this photo, taken by my 5 year old Landon took 1rst place for the photography division at his elementary school.
I took Landon out earlier this week to take pictures. The theme was Beauty is....... We had taken several pictures and were taking a close up of some berries. Landon took the picture and when I looked at it, this is what was on the screen.
Later we looked at all of the pictures on the computer and he told me that this was the on he wanted.
I went to Walmart and had it printed.
I asked Landon what he wanted to name his picture and he told me: Beauty is Poky things.
How cute is that, that in the eyes of a 5 year old boy and his mom, beauty IS poky things.
