Boys

I had asked Dillon to get on PJ’s and to make sure his dirty cloths went where they belong. I walked into his room and saw that he had multiple pairs of underwear out.
Me: Dillon, why do you have more than one pair of undies out, and why aren’t they in the dirty’s?
Dillon: Carson was in here pulling them out of my drawer
Me: Sigh Ok then, do you know what ones are clean and what ones are dirty?

Dillon, As natural as breathing, continued to SNIFF them to see which ones were clean, and which ones were dirty!

Dillon: Yup, these ones are dirty, and these ones need to go back.

And we went on about our night.

then & now

That was then......

This is now...

just stuff

Last weekend just happened to be my Birthday, and for my Birthday I wanted to go to St. George and we did. The weather was beyond perfect and I was a happy to spend the day with my family and just turn OLD! While we were there we went to feed the ducks. I have fed lots of ducks in my life but I have never seen the FISH come and eat the bread! It was crazy, maybe I just don’t get out much, but I thought this was worth sharing. Then on Tuesday Dillon got a migraine and Carson decided to get sick, my poor babies! I got lots of snuggle time with Carson this week, but both are feeling better and its back to “normal” we go.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today my baby turned SIX years old! I can’t believe how big he is getting and what an amassing young man he is turning into. Last Friday he had his first “friends” party at classic skating, and then today was just like any other day with treats at school and his pick of dinner with presents to follow of course. Dillon got lots and lots of Lego’s, a new piggy bank, tractor shirt, Mater’s Tall Tails, Despicable Me, and a new bike! Rumor has it he has more in the mail coming! What a fun day, I hope more than anything you had a great Birthday Dillon. I am honored to be your mom, you make me smile multiple times on a daily basis and your caring personality makes my heart melt. You are the best big brother and are such a help to me I am proud to call you mine. Happy Birthday Dillon…. We LOVE you!!!!!!!I love this faceCarson helping DillonThe Birthday party

Cars and apples

I love my little 5 year olds creativity. The other day he lined up all his cars on his bed, he was quite impressed with how many he had, and the fact that he still had some left over. We were trying to get out the door to take Dillon to school and Carson was VERY adamant about having an apple. I had planned on cutting him up one as soon as we got home I was just out of time. Dillon being the great brother he is, and such a help to me got the apple for him, washed it off and gave it to him. I had never given him the whole thing before but he just looks so big and cute I had to take these pictures !

Free zoo day!

Last week was a free day to get into the zoo, how I could pass that up. We went with a couple of friends in the neighborhood and had lots of fun. This is actually the first time Carson has been to the zoo and was aware of what was going on and he loved it. Carson likes animals in general, but had lots of fun looking at all of them up close. For whatever reason Dillon was on a kick to see the alligator, and was very happy when we finally saw one. What a fun day…. For free!

This was so sweet, Dillon was wispering to Carson and telling him all about the animals
