Growing up part 2

April 18th 2011 was the first day we realized we couldn't’t spell things out so Dillon wouldn’t know what we are talking about. Dillon tried a new food, and when he does this we like to “reward” him. Jokingly Chris spelled out P-U-P-P-Y…. Dillon being the smart big kid he is said with a huge smile on his face, “a puppy!!” Chris had to tell him he was just kidding, but I was so amassed that he could figure that out….. my baby is growing up!


Speaking of growing up, Dillon is now playing T-ball. This is the first sport Dillon has played and seems to be enjoying it. I am quite impressed with his throw, and he can hit it pretty well too! On a side note, we were down the "sports" section trying to find a mitt for him and he saw some orange cones.... (the ones for soccer) my Dillon B-LINED straight to them. I am happy to say that he hasn't lost himself with this new found sport, but I am happy to see he is venturing out a bit! I love you lots my big growing boy!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my darling Christopher!!! I am such a lucky girl to have a wonderful husband that never thinks of himself, and has always put his family first. He is the best dad, and a caring husband so today I hope you take a second and enjoy it, you deserve it!! We love you Christopher! : )

Hoppy Easter

Easter weekend we found some egg hunts, and we hunted! It was sad because Dillon is 6, and Carson is 1 so they couldn’t “hunt” together. I did take the camera, but the first hunt I was with Dillon and it was such a joke, it would have been like the “Where’s Waldo” books trying to find Dillon. The second hunt I was with Carson and it was so much better. Dillon enjoyed getting trampled over and fighting for candy, Carson had a great time finding all the suckers and eggs and putting them in his basket. All and all, the hunts were a success! The Easter Bunny found us! He left a trail of eggs for the boys to follow and they loved getting their Easter treats. Easter morning for breakfast was candy, and then I decided to make an actual breakfast, but candy was the main course. Hey, it’s only once a year right. Hope you all enjoyed your Easter.

Growing up

April 17th, 2011. This is the last day Carson saw his Binky. I have given all my kids (because I have so many of them) until the age of two to have the binky, but Carson was just REALLY attached to it and it drove me nuts! I decided to get an old binky and cut the end off (the same way I got Dillon off his). I hid the other ones and gave him this one when he asked. He put it in, pulled it, looked at it funny, stuck it back in and went on his merry way. As the day grew long, he was getting annoyed with it and for nap and bed time, he would throw it back at us when he was given it. On Sunday, we went running around and he wanted nothing to do with it. I dropped the boys off, left and went to go run around some more. When I got home I noticed I still had it in my car. He had gone down for his nap without even asking for it. I decided to hide that one too, and that was the last he saw of that. My poor baby, I’m a little sad, but happy to see his darling smile without the blasted binky!

One last picture just for old time sake.

Coloring eggs

We had a great time the other night coloring eggs for Easter. And what do you know, the counter was due for a good bleaching anyways…..

It was bound to happen

Yesterday Dillon was out riding scooters with some friends, when I got a knock on the door to this ……. This is probably the first “real” accident Dillon has been in. He was so sad, he was trying to be brave but as soon as he saw me, he just started to cry! My poor little man. Here he is later that night. And the next morning At least picture day was earlier the day before!

Pick a pair any pair

Dillon thought it was so funny to get into my closet and try on our shoes, what a goof!

And how could Carson not join in on the fun…
