Dylan's New Friend

This is Dylan & his new friend Brooklynn. She comes over to play every now & then. The two of them acted as if they had known each other always with in minutes of meeting. They are so cute!

Happy Family Day Sponge Bob Jr.

It has officially been a year now since Sponge Bob Jr. became a part of our family. He's still just as happy as the day we got him. Now he's even trained to eat when his light comes on.

It wasn't easy getting a picture of this little guy. I tried feeding him which helped but it made his water all cloudy.

So far so good....

Last week we went for our "In Depth" Level 2 ultrasound to make sure Aydan made it through my case of shingles okay.

All seems fine so far though they did want us to come back toward the end of Sept. just to make sure.

It was cool though! The pictures were a little more fuzzy but you could see right through him! All of his tummy matter, brain everything! It was awesome...he has two kidneys! (Okay so I know most everyone does, but hey had we not done this ultrasound we may not have been sure about his...)

Anyways at the end they gave us another little 4D shot of him. They don't have the ability to print it out in color but the black & white copy was great too!

We did find out that he's a little confused about his origin...He was giving us the "Hang Loose" sign. Whats up with that? Oklahoma is pretty far from Hawaii! Maybe he'll just be a traveller! Or maybe all the liquid & ocean sounds in there have him hopeful! :)

Dylans' First Day of School

Today was Dylans first day of school. He was so excited. JD & I both were wanting to walk him in, but that dream was quickly dashed when we got to the school and there was no place to park. The streets were so busy! Like rush hr. in a big city. So I just had to hop out and take him in myself. Holding his hand all the way to his class (for my sake not his...) he was so eager to just go. I had him pause long enough outside his class for me to snap a picture. The only one I got - being a scrapbooker this made me a little sad. But off he went! Ready to play & make new friends.

He picked out his own clothes that he wanted to wear. His new monster truck shirt & his "soft pants" since it was only 68 degrees when we got up & it wasn't supposed to get over 90 I decided this was okay. Well, It ended up getting warmer than that. So tomorrow he'll be wearing shorts!

This afternoon we went to pick him up - he & his teacher quickly informed us he had made a new friend. A little girl named Asha (Tasha - T) just as cute as she can be. I guess he had even asked his teacher if they could sit together in class!?!? Is he old enough for this?

We were hoping to hear all about his day, but he just said he didn't want to tell us. Slowly he is letting go of bits & pieces though!

Over all it sounds like he had a pretty great day. I mean he wants to go back tomorrow. That has to be good right?

Yearly Pictures

Yesterday we had pictures of Dylan & Ryan taken. They were supposed to be done right after their birthdays, but....life's been a little busy. Better late than never...

Seeing Aydan!!

Today we went to have a 4D ultrasound done. It was AWESOME! Seeing your baby before you can see him is great! I just wanted to share a few of the pics we got!

Getting ready for school.....

Well we've been trying to get stuff ready for Dylan to go to school. This past weekend we had a "no tax weekend" on clothes.

So we got him a few new clothes & a pair of new shoes. He's so excited, but I think he's also starting to get a little nervous. He'll do great. He makes friends very easily, and loves learning.

I still cannot believe he's 4 already. It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home for the first time.

Meet "Bunny"

This is "Bunny". He has been coming and eating in our back yard all spring. Sometimes bring his mate with him. We think right now she is in a nest with their youngsters right now though. Ryan just loves the visitor. The first thing he looks for in the morning & one of the last before bed. (bunny visits only while it's cool out) We put out dried corn for him so that he'll continue to visit.

Story Time

We still go to story time every week. I guess we've been there a long time because they are starting to repeat themes. This time we learned again about Dinosaurs. The kids loved it though!


They read books, sang a dino song while dancing, watched a short film, and did a dino craft.


Ryan finished his headband, Dylan got only 1 of the 3 dinos colored. He wanted the whole page to be orange. (This took a looooonnnggg time!) But it's cute! :)

I need a hair cut....

Well, if you can see him, this is Ryan. He needed a hair cut. Hair - not my thing, but I've been cutting their hair since the beginning. The last time they got haircuts we decided to take them and get it done by someone who knows what they are doing. Well - turns out that's not always true! I was amazed how chopped up it was considering how still they sat. They aren't even that still for me and at least I get it straight!
So once again it needs to be done, but what to do?

Sunday evening I finally cut it again. Both of them look very nice now though. So in a month or two we will be right back where we started....
