Dylan is three!

On Sunday, we had a little party for Dylan! He got lots of great presents. Then we had cupcakes and I think he really liked it when we all sang to him, he just sat there and smiled.


We got him a new bike that's a little too big so here are some pics of the boys riding the bikes. (I think the big boys had more fun than the little ones).




Aunt Alyssa got Dylan a cowboy outfit and we got him the stick horse.

Family

Cousins

Eddy's brother, Adam, and his family came to visit for the weekend. Dylan had a blast with his 2 cousins, Burkley (6) and Breckin (2). They actually got along really well! We went to the zoo and a fun park where the kids and dads rode on the Octopus ride. Then we came home and played in the sprinklers. Bedtime was interesting - trying to keep them in bed and get them to go to sleep. Here's some pics of the 2 boys trying to play guitar hero!

Recent Stuff

Finally, i'm updating the blog! Mom & Alyssa came over last weekend. We went to the zoo and then Dylan opened his birthday present from Mom early. He got a slip'n slide! So we set it all up and tried to convince him to slide down. Mom even slid on it to show him how it was done. But he never really got into it. He liked it for us to pull him down the slip n slide. I'm sure after he sees another kid do it, he'll love it! He also got a Scooby Doo ice pack and bandaids, which came in handy later in the week. He saw a bug swimming in his pool and picked it up, but it was a hornet. So it stung & bit him all over his thumb. An important life lesson - as Eddy put it.

Another cute thing he said today, after dinner he came wandering in with his hands folded and he says, "I'm praying." I asked him what he was praying for and he answered, "I'm praying for my Jesus.".

We are having a pee-pee problem. He is doing pretty well at going to the potty, but he thinks it's great fun to go outside. (thanks honey) - so while playing at the playground on Tuesday, he repeatedly pulled his pants down and I had to run over and tell him to pull them up. We will keep working on it.

Yesterday, we went to the swimming pool and let Dylan swim for the first time. At first he seemed pretty scared, but we had a little life jacket on and by the time we left, he was floating on his back and kicking his feet. He thought it was pretty fun!

Here are some pictures of a new toy he got - pistols in a holster. Also, today we pulled him around in the wagon with our lawnmower. First Eddy pulled me and Dylan and then I drove the tractor and pulled Ed & Dylan. It was fun!

Dylan also has been obsessed with catching bugs. He loves Roly Poly's but calls them his "macaronis".

Eddy took Dylan fishing and he caught a fish and got to reel it in and everything. We BBQ'd it that night so he got to taste it too. He thought it was fun. I went to Logan to visit my friend, Jessica. She had a scrapbooking party for me and so I got to visit with her and see her kids. It was alot of fun! Dylan stayed home with dad and they had fun.

Painted Fingernails!

The other day, I was painting my fingernails and Dylan wanted his done too. So I did his toes and fingers. He loved it! Later in the week, I got his paints out for him to paint pictures, and finally when I looked over, I noticed he had painted his fingernails blue!

Crashed Out!

A fun night hanging out with Daddy! Dylan eventually fell asleep under the computer desk, using Josey for a pillow!

Wearing my towel like Daddy!

The other night, after Dylan's bath, he informed me that he wanted to wear his towel like Daddy. So we wrapped it around and he posed for pictures. He especially thought it was funny to pose a picture of his bum!
