Dylan has a friend over!

Last night, Dylan's friend -Preston, came over for a couple hours. They had fun playing -although Dylan was pretty much a brat. He took away Preston's toys and said "mine" and then would go and tell him, "sorry, presson, sorry " and give him a kiss. Preston did well other than being afraid of my cats. This is a picture of them having a snack and watching a movie.

New Bedroom Decor

Wow - my life is so exciting - I'm actually blogging about my new bedspread. But here it is and a quilt I made to match. (the ugliest one I've ever made). I had to buy a new mattress pad and sheets to fit our new mattress and then the thinking follows of: well . . . since I'm getting new sheets, maybe I should get a new bedspread to match. hee hee

Weekend Fun

Eddy and I snuck away for a night this past weekend. Dylan got to stay the night at Grandma's for the first time! They had lots of fun and Grandma was tired when it was over, ha! Eddy and I went to see "appaloosa", then out to eat a steak dinner. Afterwards, we checked into the Black Swan (a theme hotel in Pocatello). We stayed in the Atlantis room. It was fun - the room was decorated like we were underwater. There was a hot tub and a kitchen and a small balcony. Also, we had 3 fish tanks with real fish in them. It was a nice place and we hadn't gotten away by ourselves for a few years! So it was fun. Here are a few pictures . . .

About Dylan

Tagged by Jessica

Name and Meaning: Dylan Paul (don't know what Dylan means -we just both liked it. Paul is my dad's middle name and I think Ed has some family with it also. And of course, I liked it because of the Apostle Paul.)
Age: almost 26 months
Nicknames: bugaboo or bug
Favorite Activities: Eating, teasing Josey, climbing everything. Loves to swing and play outside. And of course, riding "the tractor" (ed's lawnmower).
Favorite Foods: He definitely has my sweet tooth, but also likes chips and slim jims like his dad. But of course, his 2 favorites are still Pepsi and Gum!
Least Favorite Foods: He won't eat alot of meats, no milk.
Favorite Music: He listens to some CD's when he goes to bed (like kids' music) but he also likes my piano playing and any music that he can "dance" to. He actually just runs in circles but calls it dancing. Once in awhile he'll throw in a skip or a hop. Too funny!
Favorite Toy: Well he likes a stuffed frog Alyssa got him and carries him around alot. Other than that, he doesn't have any favorites.
Favorite Items of Clothing: He doesn't really care at this point.
What Makes Him Happy: Playing with friends, BSF, going to see Grandma and Alyssa, riding in the shopping cart.
Funny Words or Phrases: Lately, anything he likes is "awesome". And some things are "stupid" or "sucks". And of course, the whole "kick ass" thing -which is becoming less funny each day. Last night we laughed when Ed went downstairs to get ready for work, he said he was going to take a shower and Dylan started waving and said "bye daddy, have fun shower".

Pumpkins!

Well, you might be wondering what's new, since I haven't been posting much lately. We've all had colds but are finally getting over the worst. The big excitement last week, was when Dylan learned to climb the kitchen cupboards and got into the medicine cabinet. He drank 1/2 a bottle of children's advil! lovely - I called poison control and luckily he hadn't drank enough to be toxic. He was fine - just a little hyper! He's been saying alot of funny and not so funny things lately. Eddy loves the cartoon "Family Guy" - which I think is probably the stupidest show on t.v. - so Dylan has now learned when he's around Eddy to say "Family guy awesome! Yeah!" and when he's around me, he says , "Family guy stupid." Also, one of the not-so-funny sayings is when I'm trying to discipline and he points his finger and tells me, "No, kick a ass!" Translation: No, I'll kick your ass. We've also had alot of hornets (well atleast before it snowed) and Dylan calls them "cornets". So we will be outside playing and before coming in, he says "bye cornets". Here are some pics I tried to take of Dylan posing with our pumpkins.

Halloween Dress Rehearsal

Dylan is going to dress up as a tiger this year! He loves his costume - and he says "tigerrrr" in a growling voice. Such a boy!

What Happened to Fall?

We got our first snow this weekend. We luckily had gotten Dylan all of his snow gear so he was ready for action! Here are some pics:

Bible Class!

Dylan and I started BSF (bible study fellowship) a few weeks ago. Dylan loves it! Before I can even get his name-tag on, he's trying to run into his classroom. He usually comes home with a project -this is a picture of a necklace he made. I started reading a little rhyme bible to him at night. Since we're studying the Exodus, I've been reading about baby Moses. So now at bedtime, Dylan says, "Bay Moses" and looks for the book. So cute! And reassuring that God is planting seeds!
