Dallon and Ashlyn

This weekend, Dallon, Rick and I were in a wedding for our friends. Dallon got to be the ring bearer and his girlfriend Ashlyn was one of the flower girls. And yes, they say they are boyfriend and girlfriend. They were so cute together. Dallon and Ashlyn are pretty much connected. So, when we had to seperate them to get ready all we heard was were is Dallon and were is Ashlyn. They finally got to see each other and had to ride in the same vehicle to get pictures and to go to the reception. Ashlyn's grandparents took them with them. Thank you Terry and Tammy for taking care of him and letting them play in the park. Needless to say they are very cute together. Every one looked so nice at the wedding and it was beautiful. CONGRATULATIONS LUKE AND LYNZIE!!!

Fun in the Sun!!!

Well, Rick is home and he hates hot weather. I convinced him on Sunday that we needed a swimming pool. I thought we were going to go get a little one for the boys to play in. Boy was I wrong. We got one that was about 3 feet deep and 15 feet wide. We set it up and let Dallon play in while it was filling up. We got kinda worried because our yard is not level. That is one thing that the instructions said was to have in a level spot. We continued to fill it and Dallon played in it. On Monday, we realized that it wasnt going to work, so we bought the bigger one that had a metal frame. So drain one pool and then set up the other and fill it up. So what did we do with the other pool. Well, grandma and grandpa now have a pool for the boys to play in. Here are some pictures of us playing in the pool.

Pictures of the Boys

I had the boys pictures taken yesterday. Todd is 5 1/2 months and Dallon is almost 4. These are their 4th of July outfits. The shirts say Dad's Little Firecracker.

Fun Pictures of the Boys

Just an update...the boys and I have been sick for the past two weeks. I took them to the doctor and they are on medicine and getting better. I am pretty run down, but getting there. Rick will be home Thursday night, so we will all be happy. He has been gone for six weeks. We are ready for him to come home.

Now for some fun pictures of the boys during the week:

Unusual Sleeping Habits

The ways my boys can sleep is pretty crazy. The other night, we were at their grandparents house in Kamiah. I had just fed Todd his baby food and he was insistent on getting his bottle. Usually I wash his face and take off his bib before I give him the bottle but he was pretty insistent. So, I fed him his bottle first. Well, he fell asleep. I thought he would wake up when I layed him down, but he stayed asleep. So here is a picture of a messy faced baby. This probably wont happen again. It was really hard to wash off.That same night, I put Dallon in his jammies to come home. He wanted his shoes on so Grandma told him she would help him. Well he put them on the wrong feet. She kept telling him they were wrong. But he was being silly and left them that way. He fell asleep on the way home. So when I went to get him out, he wanted his hat back on. I brought him in the house and he went and layed on the couch and went back to sleep. His shoes on the wrong feet and his hat still on.

Slumber Party

Dallon wanted to have a slumber party the other night. I thought it was weird so I went in to see what he was doing. He had his great big bear in bed with him. He wanted me to get the bear a pillow and then cover them up with the blanket. So, I did. The next thing I knew, Dallon was sound asleep with the bear next to him. It was a wonder he didnt fall out of bed.

The Four Boys

I wanted pictures of all four boys together before Melany went home. So, we put them in their jammies and took pictures. We will sure miss them. They had lots of fun.

Trevin and Todd

While Trace and Dallon would chase each other around. Todd and Trevin hung out. Trevin really liked Todd's toys. Here are a couple pictures of them playing.

Todd's 1st Haircut

I gave Todd his first haircut today. The mohawk was getting a little long and quite ridiculous. So I took out the clippers, attached the No. 4 extension, and away I shaved. Dallon thought it was pretty funny. I made him take some pictures. (Pretty sad when all you got is a 3 year old to take pictures for you. But it worked). Todd didnt really know what to think, but at least he didnt cry. I think now that he looks more like Dallon than ever. I now have a little boy not a baby.

123 PIN!!!

If you dont know, you will now. Wrestling will be the main sport in this house. My dad is a wrestling coach, so the boys will learn to wrestle. Although, Dallon already knows some moves, I didnt think Todd did. He must have learned them while he was in my stomach when I was doing the little kids wrestling program. Here he has Dallon pinned. Dallon really needs to get worried, I have a feeling Todd is going to be bigger and kick his butt!

Dallon's Big Accomplishment

Rick and I have been discussing pre-school for Dallon next year. We have decided that I will teach him at home. That way, we can play for one more year without having to take him out of school. So, I am trying to figure out what I need to teach him and what he already knows. Well, the other day he wanted to write all of our names. So, I wrote them down and told him to copy them. He did really good. This is the first time that he has written any of our names without help. I was so proud of him. Although it isnt perfect, it is a start.

Todd is 5 months

Todd is 5 months today. He is becoming such a big boy. He is full of giggles. Although he wont roll over, he manages to scoot around. Both on his back and his belly, which ever I lay him on. He is eating like crazy. He eats cereal and fruit in the morning and cereal and vegetables in the evening. Plus, his bottles all day long. He is starting to notice when Dallon and I eat. He watches us and reaches for our food. And he wont stopped talking. It is like he is telling us to give it to him. I think he is going to be my little chunker. The naps are becoming fewer and far between. I think we are going to start taking a morning nap and an afternoon nap. We will see how that works. And now some even bigger news. I have set his crib up in Dallons room. He absolutely loves it. So now my boys sleep in their own room. I am a little lost, but I will survive.
