Natalie's 1st hair cut

Natalie had her first hair cut a couple of weeks ago. I think it bothered me more than it bothered her. At first you can see she wasn't that excited about the chair and cape, but by the end she was totally fine. It was only a couple of inches and just to "clean it up" but I still felt sad that her baby hair was getting cut off. Don't worry I kept a curl to put in her baby book, if I can find it. :) 

Joy Joy Joy...down in my heart...where?

Natalie learned a new song in little lambs today. It was hilarious to hear her say "where?" so I thought I would share. I love her little motions too...who knew she really listens to people that are teaching her things.

Dylan's Birthday!

Here is the invitation to Dylan's birthday party. It was a spider man themed party so I thought it would be appropriate for him to wear his halloween costume for the pictures! 

Those little action poses were all his doing. I just took the pictures while he was posing for them. 

It has really been a month?!!

Ok, so I can explain why it has been a whole month since the last post. We moved about 2 or 3 weeks ago and we just got back from vacation yesterday. I would post pictures of our new house, but it still is not looking the way I would like it to. Give me another 2 weeks and it should be at a point where I can take pictures, right now it is not near there.

We go every year to Gulf Shores for a week along with my family. Despite the LONG drive we always have a good time rain or shine. This year no rain, just a lot of wind. That still didnt keep us from being outside almost the entire time. Natalie LOVED the "mud" she called it, or the sand and was usually head to toe sand at the end of the day. Dylan was sick for the first part of the trip, his asthma is usually really bad at this time of year and being outside wasnt his idea of fun.  The picture below was on the last day when he was feeling better and wanted to be outside throwing things into the water the whole day. 
we went on a dolphin cruise one day with the kids. The last time we went it was crazy how many dolphins we saw. This year was a little disappointing, there was about 3 of them and we only saw them for about 2 minutes total! Not that great for a hour and a half boat ride.this was the best picture that I got. I took a ton, but of course there was a lovely pole in my view and they were always on the other side of the boat. Just a precious picture of Natalie kissing Tim's nose. So CUTE!

The next few pictures are pretty funny once you hear the story that goes behind it. For one of Dylan's surprises we got him a kite. Here is Tim trying to fly it after we put it together.

It really didnt fly, it more just stayed at Tim's level while he ran back and forth on the beach.All the kids were chasing it...or they were chasing Tim.Then my dad said that he would fly it with Dylan and come to find out it was put together wrong. After my dad fixed it it was flying really high. 

Trying to get a good picture of the two of them together is always one of my goals. They never are looking at me at the same time or one of them is pulling a funny face and soon they lose all patience with me and just stop looking period. This trip was no different...

Natalie giving hugs, Dylan just going along with it but not very excited about it.

So do the tatoos add to the cuteness of the picture or not?

Best picture of the two of them.

Dylan spelling

Today Dylan was making a sleep chart for Tim because last week we started him on one. We were having some problems with him going to bed and not yelling for us for all sorts of reasons. So now each morning if he didn't yell the night before he gets to put a sticker on his chart. Once he gets 10 stickers he gets to go to "Chuckin' Cheese" thats what he calls it. So when he was making Tim's chart he had me write "Daddy" on it. Little did I know that he knew how to spell it! Then we went over how to spell "mommy", cause that is only fair, right? Here is the video of our little smarty pants.

baby ticker

Notice the new addition to my blog...a baby ticker. It shows what my baby looks like and how far along I am. I totally thought I was 14 weeks already but apparently I'm still 13, oh well. Kinda fun to see what he/she looks like at this point. The names that Dylan picked out for the baby are very unique and totally taken from Disney movies. For a boy it will be Alex No Stall, and for a girl it will be Gloria Vinyl Toupee.  

New Baby

This is the video we took when we told Dylan and Natalie, (and Riley) that we were going to have another baby. We were expecting a little more excitement than we got. Natalie wants to see it and Dylan is more concerned about where his car seat is going to go and of course that it will be a boy. One thing that surprised us was that apparently Dylan already knew! He is something else.
