Happy Fall!

Yeah, it's fall!  Fall is my favorite season, I love 70 degree days with cooler nights.  Nothing too exciting happening at the Marten house.  We are coming to the end of our outdoor projects so we are happy that we could get most of that done this year.  Now on to the basement!  

Brecken is getting so big!  We think he weighs around 24lbs and he is getting super long.  He has a grand total of 7 teeth now and his hair is starting to grow a bit more.  He loves crawling all over the place and is always pulling himself up on everything.  We are sure he will be walking soon as he gets more brave everyday with letting go of whatever he is walking along holding, he use to get frustrated when he fell but now he just falls on his butt and gets right back up.  Whenever Brecken is around Landon or other kids he just loves to watch everything they do, we can see the wheels turning...  There is know way that he is almost 1 already, of course as a first time Mom I am already thinking of all of the cute things that I want to do for his big birthday!  

On August 8th Neil and Amber welcomed their daughter Lilly Ann.  She is such a cutie and looks very different from Landon, looks like Landon is going to take after Amber and Lilly will take after Neil.  It is so weird that Brecken isn't the "baby" anymore in our family!

Cain started 6th grade this fall in Bloomington.  He lives with his Dad and spends lots of time with my Mom.  We are all heading up to the cabin this weekend so maybe we can convince Cain to start babysitting???
