Baby on the way

Yes, we have some news.... Dylan is going to be a big brother. I'm 10 weeks right now and am feeling pretty good. I'm more tired with this one and have been experiencing "evening" sickness.

half way moved in

We are up in Iowa this week getting the house painted and organized. Our POD arrived on Tuesday and we had it unloaded the same day. Troy stopped over last night and helped tear down wall paper and paint. What a huge help. We are definately making some progress and it is feeling like our own. Curt, Angie and kids came the following day and helped us tear down more wall paper and paint the office. When we left, we had removed the wall paper from the guest bedroom, powder room and laundry room. We painted the dining room, office, powder room, laundry room, baby's room, and spare bedroom. Needless to say, our vacation wasn't too relaxing but we did get a lot accomplished. Thank you so much for all of your help especially to my parents who were there all week.

I'll send some before and after pictures.

Dylan's movie theatre experience

Well, on Sunday we went to Dylan's first movie, The BEE movie. I'm sure glad we went to the dollar theatre. He fell asleep half way through it. It was an ok movie, but definately not my favorite.

After the movie, Todd went back to work to open up mail and get caught up on paperwork, so I decided to take Dylan to the park. He went down the slide a few times, but had more fun playing in the creek, going over the bridge, and throwing in his bee in the creek and trying to get it out. After all that excitement, we took a walk at the park and he enjoyed throwing the leaves up in the air and putting them on his head. What a funny little boy.

My favorite show

Is anyone watching Lipstick Jungle out there? I absolutely love it. It reminds me a little of Sex and the City and I loved that. Speaking of, the movie should be coming out May 30th. I can't wait to see it. Has anyone seen the trailor

Happy Birthday J-bird

Can you believe it, its already St. Patricks day? Also, its Jason's birthday. I sure hope he had a great weekend celebrating.

Box full of joy...

Dylan has been our little helper when it comes to packing and helping mark the boxes. As you can see, this is a special package courtesy of Mr. Dylan.


I'm not sure if he is flipping off the camera, but if he is, sorry to offend anyone.

video games...

Playstation 2 anyone

When we got home from the Cottontail Express, Robert was over at our house playing vide




o games with Todd. Of course, Dylan wanted to play too. Good job guys

Cottontail Express

We hopped aboard a ride to the Peter Cottontail's meadow in Calera on the Cottontail Express with some of Dylan's friends. We rode on the cho cho train and then met up with Easter bunny and had an Easter egg hunt. You were limited to 5 eggs. Dylan of course snagged 5 right away, but no golden egg for Dylan. His friend Laci and Drew did and they won a stuffed animal and an Easter basket full of goodies. Dylan waived to the Easter bunny, but did not want to give him a hug or stand in line for a picture. Maybe next year....





We were singing, "here comes Peter Cottontail..." and he is still talking about his train ride.

Mommy, I sure had a fun time...

Park Pictures

These pictures were taken a few weeks ago when we had a showing on the house. We had a few hours to kill, so we went to our favorite place... the PARK> This day was so cold... Dylan didn't mind though.

I am sleep deprived....

Daylight savings came early this year! This means we now have an extra hour of daylight. Spring is right around the corner and I can hardly wait. I'm hoping by the time we move it will be warm up in Iowa.

Dylan is a little off with his schedule right now too. We put him down for his nap late, he went to bed late, woke up around 8am, and then he transitioned into his new room at school. He just cried and cried when I dropped him off today. Poor thing. They mentioned I could bring his favorite toy or a stuffed animal to help him feel a little more comforted. Poor thing. Last week he threw up because he had worked himself up so much. I'm sure hoping today went better.
