Only 2 More Months!!!

That's right. Only 2 more months until Todd turns 1!!! So what has he accomplished in the past month? He started crawling this past month. He has now got it perfected and can get any where. Most of the time where he is not supposed to be. He zooms right along and can get there before I can. He is starting to pull himself up on things. But, only to his knees. He will not stand on his feet yet. He has four teeth total. Let me tell ya, they are some good ones. He is a biter and knows that he is doing it. He only bites Dallon and I, but we get it alot. He usually justs bites Dallon when he is mad at him. Me on the other hand, I think he thinks it is fun. So, we are going to have to start cracking down on that. He is eating a lot. Probably why he weighs about 25 pounds. He is starting to not like his formula, so we are starting him on whole milk this week. That is good, it makes the grocery bill go down. He isnt choking on his food as much. He is finally chewing it. So, we have started him on more solid foods. And, the chopper hasnt been used in a while. He really likes to play with Dallon's toys. Not always a good thing, cuz Dallon doesnt always want to share. They do have days that they just dont see eye to eye. It is a screaming contest those days. He is a jabberbox. He wants to talk to Rick on the phone every time he calls. He gets mad when I stop him. He can say mama, dada, and no!no!no! Dallon is really working on him to say Dallon. I just dont see it happening soon, kind of a hard name to say. He is a great kid. Very very funny!!!

Happy Halloween

Funny Things That Happen

This is what Dallon looks like when he is talking to his dad. It is so funny. He acts like he is older and deepens his voice. I laugh so hard. He acts like he is having an adult conversation. He thinks that his dad can see through the phone. So, if he wants to show him something he turns the phone to face the object and say see dad.


This is Todd sporting his new sweatpants that Rick got for him at Prudhoe Bay. Dallon already had a pair so now Todd has a pair.


















This is what happens when Dallon isnt supervising the playing going on in his room. Todd had all the tools out and was shaking the tool box to see what else he could get.

Raking Leaves

The boys and I raked leaves today so we could fill out pumpkin bags. Dallon was very anxious to do it. Last year he wouldnt have anything to do with it. He screamed when we sat him in the pile. Well, this year I couldnt keep him or Todd out of the pile. I raked the leaves more than I should have. But, we got the leaves rake. Since they havent all fallen yet, we didnt have enought for two bags, so we took some of the neighbors. He was thrilled. Next year Todd and Dallon can rake the leaves by themselves and I wont have to help.

MY GIANTS

So they may not be giants, but in clothes too small they sure look like it. The other day I layed out the boys clothes and told Dallon to get dress. He was busy talking to Daddy and not paying attention to whose clothes he was putting on. He got Todd's jeans on all the way before he realized it. Well, just to be funny he buttoned (yes buttoned them) them up and ran around. Mind you, he wears a 4T and Todd wears 18 months. It was pretty funny. Well, then he found Todd's hat that they gave us at the hospital. Dallon thought it was pretty funny to put it on Todd. So, here are pictures of my GIANTS.

The Morning After

On Saturday night, we had my sister come up and babysit the boys while we went out with Chris and Sam. Mind you, I havent really gone out in a while without having to worry about they boys and getting up with them. But, Saturday night, I figured Rick could worry about them. Well, I had a great time and I drank way too much. Rick decided to pay my sister more if she would just stay the night with they boys. So, all in all, she made $40. Maybe I should have been the babysitter. I felt like crap all day on Sunday and blamed it on Sam. All they could do was laugh at me. None of them have really seen me at my finest in a long time. They thought it was funny. A lot of our friends from Kamiah were at the bar too. It was so great to see some old friends. Anyways, these are picture of the boys the next morning. Rick and Chris really never got up. They lounged around all day. But, they had Dallon to entertain in the afternoon. I dont think the two little boys let them rest much.

Thanks Chris and Sam for such a great time. We will have to do it again.....maybe....I dont know if I can handle it.

Halloween Time!!!

This week we started to prepare for Halloween. Rick wont be home so I thought it would be fun if the boys carved the pumpkins. They had a blast. I baked them some pumpkin seeds while they were carving. Dallon absolutely loves them. Todd sat in his high chair and screamed at them since he couldnt help. Yesterday, I put them in their Halloween shirts and we took a pumpkin to Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Skip. They loved it. Dallon had to show Grandma how to carve a pumpkin. He went into great detail. It was very funny. As for Halloween costumes, you have to wait till Halloween to see them. Dallon is very cute in his.
