Easter & Stuff

Here are some pictures from Easter and from Dillon's birthday.

Sorry for the long delay

Sorry for the long delay in posting, but our computer died and I have been slow to get a new one. Believe me, we have a TON of pictures to add. I havent forgotten about this, just in the process of getting a new computer.

The new vacuum

So our old vacuum bit the dust. Dillon could not have been more excited to get a new vacuum. As we pulled into Wal Mart he said "FINALLY!!! We're at Wal Mart!!" I think he was more excited to help me pick out a new vacuum than he was for Christmas. He loves to have me vacuum at least 2 times a day and he likes to see all the "junk" that it collects since you can see everything it picks up when it picks it up.

Christmas

Dillon & Ethan in their new Christmas jammies. They were so excited for Christmas the next morning.

Ethan is excited for his "Brainy Baby" from Santa.

Dillon got quite a few "Cars". Here is Mack.

Dillon loves his lap-top. He always says he is "looking online."

We had a good Christmas. It even snowed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, which is highly unusual for here.

We're still alive!

Snapshots of November and into December...

We went to vist the Grandparents over Thanksgiving. Dillon is helping to make turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner.

We went to the light parade here in Grand Junction. After nearly getting blown away by a freak rain/snow/wind storm, we enjoyed the parade. Dillon and Ethan are having fun watching the floats.

Ethan loved being bundled up in his penguin outfit. He stayed pretty warm.

Just wanting to open those presents...

Taking a bath together. Ethan loves the big tub.

Dillon got his cast off at the end of November. Christmas is right around the corner. Hard to believe how fast time flies. I need to do better at keeping this updated.

Almost Halloween

Grandma came to visit last Thursday and was here until Saturday. Dillon had fun hanging out and especially making cookies. Saturday evening there was a "downtown spooktacular" on Main Street here in Grand Junction. We pulled Dillon from store to store for candy. From watching everyone who was out that day, it appears that Spiderman is the costume of choice this year. Ethan just enjoyed looking at everything from the stroller.

Tonight we carved pumpkins. Dillon loved it. He has loved carving pumpkins now for a few years. I almost think he is more excited for that than he is for Christmas. After we were done, he sat there just staring at them for a long time. His favorite Halloween show is "Charlie Brown Pumpkin." I dont know what its really called, but we had to have that playing as we carved.

Corn Maze

Saturday we took Dillon and Ethan to a corn maze. Dillon was pulled in the wagon. It was a small maze so we didnt get too lost.

Right after we took this picture Ethan fell over backwards and got scratched on his head by the hay bale. Dillon wasnt holding him "tight enough." We had fun though and thankfully the weather was nice on Saturday. Sunday was much colder and windy.

Looks like I took us down a dead end. Oh well. We finally made it out.
