Please Help!!!!

Dallon insists on wearing all of his gear. Could someone please take him for a bike ride. He is ready!!!

Happy Birthday Dallon!!!

Dallon turned 4 years old today. He is getting so big, I just cant believe it. Since we had already had his party, we went 4 wheeling with my parents today. We left for Newsome Creek at about 6 this moring and got home around 5. Then, we had some pizza. I think he had a good day. Since he got all of his presents early, I felt bad so I got him something he had been asking for. He wanted a Spiderman helmet to wear when he rides his bike. So, I had my sister pick one up and bring it with her tonight. He loves it because it also came with elbow and knee pads. Awesome!!! I told him he needed a skate board now. I also told him he needed to ask his dad for that. I will post a picture of him later with all his gear on. Oh wait, maybe he is wearing it to bed. Yeah right, he sleeps with me, no way would I let that in my bed!!

So, some stats. He weighs about 37 pounds and is 39 inches tall. He has learned to take a shower by himself. This is great. That way my bathroom doesnt turn it to a swimming pool. He is a very smart kid. I am going to homeschool him for preschool. That will be starting this week. He is very excited about it and is constantly asking when he can start. His main interest right now is Spiderman, but he also enjoys his John Deere tractors and farming equipment and his dad's helicopters. He is an awesome big brother. The best that any little brother could ask for. He makes sure that Todd is always alright. And, when he is playing he makes sure that Todd has a toy to play with too. His favorite food is tacos or cheese sandwich with mayo and mustard. Favorite pop is root beer. Favorite snack is anything with sugar and he can reach. Most of the time it is chocolate covered raisins.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLON, WE LOVE YOU!!!

7 Months!!

Todd is now 7 months old. It is hard to believe. Some days I feel like I just had him and other days it feels like he has been here forever. He has become a very big kid. He weighs 20 1/2 pounds. Some days that is hard to lug around. In the past month he has done quite a few new things. He can sit really well on his own. He also can sit up from laying on his back. Crazy I know, but he does it. He rolls all over the place. Never thought this would happen. He loves to sit and play with his toys or Dallons toys. Whichever is closer I guess. He has two teeth. Yeah!!! He is not very pleasant when he is cutting teeth. He doesnt eat much when they are coming in. And you know he likes his food, so it is catch up when he feels better. I, also, took away his pacifier 2 days ago. Yep, he is crabby. He is doing better than I thought, but we are losing some sleep. He is quite the talker these days too. Sometimes he just talks and talks and other times he sees how high he can scream. Rick worked on him to say dada while he was home and he says it. It was pretty funny cuz he would wake up in the moring and see Rick and say dada. Guess he wanted him to get up too. He is a pretty funny kid and keeps us laughing.

Spiderman has INVADED!!!!

I think my house is getting taken over by Spiderman everything. Dallon got a ton of toys for his birthday. His loves them all and has them out everyday. Well, Dallon can convince Rick to pretty much do anything no matter how silly it is. He convinced Rick to put on a mask and they were pretending to be Spiderman. They gave one to Todd. But, since everything goes in his mouth, he ate his. That is why he is not in the picture. I wonder what phase will come next for Dallon.

Dallons Birthday Party

We had Dallons birthday party on Saturday. No it wasnt his birthday, but Dad has to leave on Wednesday. He was so excited. Everything was Spiderman. Almost all of his presents were Spiderman. But, he did get a John Deere tractor and some hot wheels. He liked them just as much as everything else. There was a lot of swimming going on during the day. The kids were in and out of the pool. We had a bbq. And then we ate cake and opened presents. Once the presents were open, the kids were back in the pool. It didnt take long for the big kids to get in the pool. But, it was a tad chilly for us. What is it about little kids...dont they ever get cold? This morning I got all the presents out of the car. We had to open and assemble all of them. Yep, and we all enjoy playing with them. Thank you every one for making Dallons birthday so wonderful. He loves all of his presents.

Life While Dad is Home

So Rick has been home for a week. What have we done. Really, absolutely nothing!!! We have been really lazy around here. I have even taken pictures to prove it.

Dallon is so lazy that he had to lay down on Todd to rest.If you didnt notice, they are in Dad's chair. Therefore, he had to relax on the couch.

And, you may think that I am really lazy. Todd did try Dallon's pop tart, but didnt like it. I really did feed him his breakfast.

And, NOPE, there are no pictures of me being lazy. Remember, I am the mom. Therefore, I have to do the house work and take care of everyone. Even though it is a 24/7 job and doesnt really pay that much (a few presents now and then---that will be another post that I am excited about) it is still the best job in the world.

Congratulations Riley and Stephanie!!!

My friend Stephanie and her husband had a baby boy on Saturday night. They are both doing very good she said. We want to wish all of them congratulations!!!
