Cordell lost his two front teeth right before Christmas. One fell out a while ago, and the other one fell out Tuesday. So, we couldn't resist having him sing "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth!!!"

Cordell played the part of Squanto (the Indian) for the 1st grade Thanksgiving pageant today. He did a great job.

Quotes of the week

Yesterday I overheard Jennifer tell her brothers that she doesn't want to have kids because they are too much work!! I think that girl is wise beyond her years. You're not supposed to realize that until you already have kids and it's too late. I'm sure over the years she'll change her mind (I hope she does), but when she has 4 or 5 kids and complains about how hard it is, I'll remind her of what she said when she was five!! I told her it is a lot of work, but so worth it!!

Then on the way home from church today I was asking Landon if he was good in class. He said, "Well, I was a little naughty, but a lot good."

My kids LOVE Taylor Swift. They will all belt out her songs, even the boys!!

Landon sleeping

So, I haven't posted a funny picture lately of Landon or Jess and their funny sleeping habits. I caught Jess sleeping in a funny position the other day, but he woke up right before I took the picture, I even had the camera in my hand. Oh well, I'm sure I'll catch him again. But I couldn't resist this picture of Landon.

I went in to check on the boys before going to bed, and this is how I found Landon sleeping


I put him back up on his bed because I'm sure he couldn't hold that position all night. No wonder he falls off the bed all the time!!
