Folsom Lake

Brendon's parents decided to take the Sea-Doo's out for the first time this year and we met them out at the lake.

Dylan's been out to the lake quite a few times but this was Landon's first trip. We decided to hang out in the shade!

Dylan actually rode on the Sea-Doo's which he hadn't been really interested in doing in the past couple of years.

First Time in the Pool

Of course the day we bought the pool was 100+ degrees and ever since its been windy and cold. Today was the first day that it was warm enough for Landon to get in and this actually was his first time in any pool ever!



He of course loved it and is definately a water baby!

Look Who's 5 Months Old!!!

Guess who's 5 months old today???

Look what we got!

Well today was Dylan's last soccer class at the YMCA. He had such a great time with the other kids and really loved his coach! Next up is T-Ball!

Today before soccer, Brendon and I decided that we were going to get a pool. Im not talking about a little blow up pool. We were going for the real thing, or as close as you can get, not digging up the backyard.

After calling around we finally found the one we wanted. 12 Feet by 3.5 Feet Deep! Big enough for all of us to get in and cool off, but also shallow enough for Dylan to stand and have the water below his head. Here is a picture of Dylan helping us set it up!

Bodega Bay

We went on our first camping trip of the summer this weekend! We has such a good time playing in the sand and digging holes.

Although there was a little boy, not naming name or anything who still had a little timeout!

Lots of News!

This is just a quick update on the latest around here that I wanted to get down before I forget!

It's only taken 3 1/2 years but Dylan is finally falling asleep in his OWN bed and STAYING there all night!!!! We tried a sticker chart before about 7 or 8 months ago and he just wasn't that interested in it. So once we got settled here and Landon got here we decided to try again. This time he is all for it. We bribed him slightly with a new movie (Mickey's Big Splash) if he went a whole week staying in his bed. The next big goal is to sleep in his bed a whole month and fill up his chart and if he does he gets a new bed with whatever sheets he wants. Right now he is using our old queen size bed with our old sheet set. Not too exciting for a three year old! Anyways he is doing so well that he will be getting the new bed in no time!

Landon has also decided to follow in his older brothers footsteps and has been sleeping through the night as well. He goes to bed anywhere between 7-9pm and sleeps until 6am. I'm so so happy and hope that it continues.

Landon has been rolling over from his back to his tummy for quite a while now and he has just started rolling from his tummy to his back. He's going to be crawling in no time and then we are in BIG trouble!

We are leaving to go camping at Bodega Bay tomorrow so I will have a large post with a ton of pictures when we get back.

One last thing before I forget! Dylan got a Happy Meal the other day after his ENT appointment and it came with a Kidz Bop CD. I think its number 6. Anyways the first song on it is Beautiful Girls. Dylan loves it!! He has even learned the words and sings along in the car!

Mother's Day

Brendon, Dylan and Landon got me a beautiful mirror to hang in the dining room. I'm also going to put up a couple of their pictures that we just got done at JCPennys next to it. I of course didn't take any pictures at all but will take some when I get the pictures and the mirror hung up.

We spent most of the day at my parents house just hanging out and having a good time! We got Brendon's Mom, My Mom and My Grandma each a pretty potted plant and a nice card. Then we ate dinner at my parents and it was great as usual. Dylan and Tyler had a good time playing together. Dylan was worn out by the time we got home.

Dylan's ENT Appt and Landon Tries Cereal

Another busy Friday over here!

Dylan has his appointment with the ENT about setting a surgery date for his tonsils and adenoids. I was a nervous wreck even though I knew this was just a consultation. I was even sort of queasy! I'm lame, I know! Anyways the doctor said that they are pretty large but that isn't just the only reason to take them out. He said if there were times when he was sleeping that he had 8-10 seconds were he hesitated taking breaths that it was time they come out. I'm not sure on the exact length of time that he has trouble breathing but I know there is sometimes at night when Brendon and I get nervous and want to nudge him or wake him up to get him to take another breath. Definitely unnerving! Anyways we decided to go ahead with the surgery and now we are just waiting for a call back with the date. I think this is going to be Brendon's deal! I'm not sure I can handle my baby having surgery. I'm sure Ill be there somewhere but I don't want to be passed out on the floor!

Landon tried cereal this morning. I wont say much about it and let the pictures speak for themselves. But I will say his eyes were watering and he would shudder before I even got the spoon to his mouth!

All ready to go!

I don't think so Mom!

Ugh! What are you doing?!?!?!

Okay I'm DONE Mom!

Workin' At The Carwash!

We finally decided that it was time to wash the car. I think the rain is done for the year! Although I'm sure now that we washed it, it's going to rain again!

Wake Up!!!!

This is what I wake up to at 6am in the morning! Needless to say I think he's a morning person!

Busy Day

Today was a busy busy day! I did remember to take some pictures though!

First, Landon had his 4 month appointment. He was 16lbs 4oz and 26 1/4" long. He's come a long way from the little boy who wasn't gaining any weight. He did get a couple of shots and did fine. I did give in and let him have the oral rotovirus vaccine again this time because the Dr stated that rotovirus is way way worse then just the residual affects of the vaccine. Landon did have stomach issues again this time but nothing like last time. We also have been given the go ahead for starting cereal. The Dr basically left it up to us as to when to start. Anywhere between 4-6 months. He also said that just because Dylan has issues with the rice cereal doesn't mean that Landon will, which is good news. Maybe within the next week or so we'll start it. He goes back in 2 months for his 6 month appointment on July 27th. He also has another hip appointment on August 4th, just as a follow up and to get another set of X-rays done.

Dylan started soccer today and the YMCA. It's a Monday night class with other 3 & 4 year old kids. He has been so excited for this for a week or two now. He got new "soccer" shorts and a new pair of tennis shoes. Dylan loves his new coach, Coach Marteen. Dylan just calls him Coach! He is very good with the kids and oh so patient. There was probably 10-12 kids out there. Mostly they just learned about dribbling the ball, stopping the ball and kicking. They did stretching and warm ups like duck, duck, goose. Dylan also has a "Best Friend" now. His name is Drew and he was really shy and crying and didn't really want to play or even be there and Dylan took right to him. By the end of practice they were buddies and Drew was doing everything with Dylan. Drew's mom was so excited and at the end of practice she told me "We made progress!!!"

Here's some of the pictures I took.

Warming Up!

Water break!

Dribbling Through the Cones!

Shooting a goal!

Birthdays and Weddings

Ughhhhhh!!!!! I just spent 30 minutes writing out a post and when I went to submit it blogspot puked out on me.

Here we go again!

Saturday morning was Tyler's 6th birthday party. They always have a great time with each other! Just before Dylan hit meltdown mode we left (before cake but don't tell Dylan!!!). We headed over to Brendon's parents house to rest up for a while before we had a wedding to go to.

Dylan of course was asleep before we even hit the freeway. He slept until we had to wake him up to get dressed and leave. He had such a great time at the wedding. The actual ceremony couldn't have been more than about 10 minutes (thank goodness!!!!!). Afterwards the reception was in the same building and Dylan made friends instantly with the other little kids there and the spent the rest of the time running around the church like maniacs until they were sweaty and red in the face. Of course when it was time to go we had to just drag Dylan out!

I for some reason didn't get any pictures of this weekend. I need to start taking more pictures!
