Dillon

I have been having kind of a hard time with Dillon lately, (he never sleeps) and I just needed to remind myself how much I love my little boy. I was looking through pictures of him, and these are a few that show my favorite things about Dilly.

He is just so darn cute!!!

He loooves to have me read to him.


He is a sweet tooth, just like me. This is him after just one Rolo.


He loves to do whatever we are doing.
This is him helping Ava put her bead garland on her Christmas tree.






He laughs so hard when we all play together.

He loves his paci - all of them!

He loves when we go get smoothies.

He can down this mini mango-mantra in just a few minutes!

He always gets up on this couch and looks out the window at the rain,

the garbage truck, and watches for his Daddy to come home.

He is always hiding behind and under bushes when we are outside. He loves being outside so much that some mornings we don't even wait to get dressed before he heads to the backyard.

He is always showing us his food, (every time he eats!)

This picture just makes me laugh because he is in

his little tighty jammies from when he was a newborn

(they used to look so cute on him - I just hadn't done laundry for a while)

He just sits and hangs out so quietly behind this plant at

my Dad's house. He does the same thing at his Aunt Shelly's

house behind a big plant in her living room.

I love you Dilly!!!!

Family Pictures

A couple of weeks ago we had our family pictures taken by our good friend Rachel Bailey. You can check out her photo blog here.
Here are a few of our pictures...

Ava

Yesterday Ava gave her first talk in Primary. She did so well! She was not one bit nervous and she spoke so clearly! She colored pictures to go with her talk and they were so great. We are so proud of her!

The Sunday before that, as she was about to take the sacrament bread, she whispered to me, in her really loud whisper, "Well, is there any butter?" So Ava!

A couple of days ago, I was having a really hard night with Dillon. I was so frustrated with him and I complained out loud that he was being naughty. This is what Ava had to say to me: "Mom, he is a baby. A baby cannot be naughty. They can be hard, but they cannot be naughty. Dillon is a hard baby. Let's try to be nicer to him."

I love this girl!!!
