Like Father, Like Son

So since Rick has been home, I have noticed more that Dallon really looks up to him. He pays attention to everything Rick does and says. Not always good!!! Dallon has been repeating everything Rick says. Sometimes we have to tell him that he can't say that and sometimes we just laugh. He comes up with some of the funniest things to say lately. For example, last night, he climbed on the couch with his blanket and asked his dad to come go to sleep with him. We started laughing and Rick went and layed down with him. His two responses to the questions you ask him are "nothing" and "I'm busy."
Even though Dallon doesn't really like to talk on the phone to Rick when he is at work, you can sure tell that Dallon misses him. Those two have been inseperable. It is kind of nice for me, I get a little bit of a break from him climbing all over me. I keep wondering if there will be enough room in Rick's chair for two little boys to climb all over him. I guess we will see.

Taking Naps

Dallon's naps are getting few and far between. Rick came home on Friday and today was the first day that he has taken a nap. He fell asleep in his game chair in his room. He was watching Robots. I hope after Rick leaves he will take a nap every day. I sure need one.

Flying Helicopters

Well, since Rick has been home, the boys have flown the helicopters pretty much all of the time. Dallon's broke last night, but he sure enjoyed it. Rick broke the big remote control airplane last night also.

These are pictures of Rick and Dallon flying their helicopters yesterday.

New Toys

Dallon and I went to pick up Rick yesterday morning. It is such an exciting time for Dallon. As soon as he can see the airplane, he is jumping all over the place. He meets Rick at the door. Well, that wasnt the only exciting thing. Rick bought a indoor helicopter. Him and Dallon flew that thing all afternoon yesterday. So today when I went to Lewiston, I had to buy another one. I just don't think they can share very well. When I got home this afternoon they were both excited. They flew those two for awhile and then decided we needed another one. Along with my Dad and my brother. Great!!!!! So now we have 3 on there were that we ordered off the internet. I just don't think my house is big enough for that many. I guess we will see. As long as the boys are happy then the mom is happy.

Slumber Party

Dallon decided that he wanted to stay the night at my parents house last night. So, yesterday I tried to get him to take a nap so we could go over after his nap. Dallon and I have both been fighting colds all week, so I thought it would be good if he got a nap in. Plus, I really needed one. Well, he was way to excited to go over there and didn't take a nap. So, I got him ready and we headed over there about 4:30. He made it 5 minutes outside of Grangeville and fell asleep. The slumber party started early. He didnt wake up until about 7:00 and then he played a little bit. I guess we will see how their night went when I go to pick him up this morning.

Baby Update

Since all of the posts have been about Dallon so far, I thought that I would update everyone on the baby. I went to the doctor today and everything is going good. He is very active and did not want to hold still so we could hear the heart beat. But, the doctor won and we heard it for as long as the doctor needed to and then he moved again. This is common because he moves everytime Dallon touches my stomach. He is still breach, but the doctor wasnt to concerned about that. He is bigger than what the doctor expected him to be. I guess that I am going to have a big baby. Rick gets home Friday afternoon from work. We haven't seen him in three weeks. He probably won't recognize me. My belly has grown a lot.

Dallon enjoyed going to the doctor with me. He told the doctor we were going to have a blue baby. Which means we are going to have a boy. He also tried to tell the doctor everything he needed to do. I guess he has gone with me enough to know what the doctor has to do. He really wanted to listen to the baby. That is his favorite part.

Vacation Fun

Dallon and I went camping with my parents and family. We actually went to a family reunion. It was really nice, I hadn't seen some of my realtives for a couple of years. Dallon had a blast playing with all the little kids that were his age. He made really good friends with my cousin Tonia's daughter Emma. She is exactly 1 year older than him. We tried to go paddle boating, but the first night we were there, there was a bad storm and almost all of the boats were broken. So we didn't get to go boating. Dallon got over it really fast. We gave him an ice cream cone. He also decided that he knew how to ride his bicycle this weekend. He did really good. We only had to push him a couple of times. He got to ride his four wheeler. He even gave his Uncle Chris a ride. The last night we were there, we decided to go miniature golfing. Dallon loves to golf, so we thought he would enjoy this. I invited Emma to go along with us. So, I took the two little kids and let them golf while Mom, Dad, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Sam played behind us. I think that I did the best. I only had to hit the ball once and then Emma and Dallon would put it in the hole for me. It was a lot of fun.

I have to say that it is nice to be home. Four days of fun was enough to wear me out.
