Happy Birthday Taig!!

My nephew Taig's birthday was today, so in honor of that my mom and I took Easton, Camden, Taig and Dylan to a splash park in Zionsville. It's really neat and all of the kids enjoyed themsevles. Here's some pictures of the park and them playing.

The water park

They all had a lot of fun, and Dylan had so much fun he crashed as soon as I put him in his car seat to go home. This place is really neat, and it's good for little ones. I highly recomend it. I guess there's another splash park in Westfield, we are going to try it out this summer too.

St. Louis trip-warning lots of pictures!!!!

We went to St. Louis this past weekend. We wanted to go to Busch Stadium to see a game so we could mark it off our list of ballparks. For those of you who don't know, Gene has, I mean we have, the goal of going to every ballpark in the country, 4 down 26 to go. So far we've only been to the close ones, Chicago, Cincinati, and St. Louis. So we went to the zoo first on Saturday then over to the game, and I'll have you know Dylan made the whole game, maybe not in our seats but we were in the ballpark the whole game. We went to Grant's farm on Sunday and then to Union Station before leaving on Monday. So I'm going to let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

Almost there.

The zoo!!

Baseball game...Dylan making friends

Grant's farm-petting the goats

This one thought Gene's shorts had hay hanging on them.

Then the rain came, uhoh no umbrella. Gene had to wait in line for the trolley

Union Station-playing on the toys

mmm...fudge

Homeward bound

1st Haircut

Well this has been a topic of discussion in our house for a while now. Dylan hasn't ever had a lot of hair, but in the back it was getting long and he had a little tail. Well I wanted to take him to cut it, but when I start to do it someone would say how cute his curl was and then I would change my mind. Well it finally got to the point where it was just annoying, it was getting long around his ears and stuff. So I finally did it, I called and made the appointment. Now I had doubts after making the appointment, and then realized I didn't have anyone to go with me to take picutres. So I called Brittany and was talking to her about it, and she volunteered to come be my photographer. So thank you so much Brittany.

"Mom are you sure about this?"

ok here goes

All done...so handsome!!

He did great! She even used the razor around his ears and neck line and he didn't even flinch. I was so proud of how well he did. And he looked so cute when she was done. His haircut was actually a few weeks ago, yes I'm behind again on blogging. I'm going to blame it on the house construction and the sunny weather. By the way our dining room is now ready for painting. Now just to find time to paint it.

Funny moments...

Dylan had been sick earlier this week, we think it was roseola. He ran a real high fever for 2 or 3 days and then on Wednesday he broke out in a rash. He's better now, and since he's been feeling better I thought I would show you what he's been up too...

This is Dylan smelling daddy!!!

We have, or should I say had, been making Amish bread. Well today Dylan dumped the whole bag of yeast on himself, the counter, and the floor. If anyone has made this you know how much sugar is in it so it was not that much fun to clean up to say the least. Oh, and yes I was standing right there, turned to answer my phone, see what can happen in a split second.Dylan's own corn on the cob, and yes he's using corn cob holders we didn't want him to get messy :)

Sorry

So finding time to blog and remembering to blog is way harder than I thought it would be. So I just want you all to know I am really trying, but I'm not doing great at it. I am going to post a few updates in this one to get caught up and hopefully I can do better.

Birthdays...

All three of our birthdays fall pretty close together so we decide we were going to take a night and go to Carribean Cove, the indoor water park on Michigan road. We went on a Friday and spent the evening at the waterpark, it was pretty neat. Dylan wasn't sure about it on Friday. Then we went back down Saturday morning and he like it much better. Here are some pictures of Dylan playing in the water.

He loved these little things. He would lean over and stick his face in them. It was funny.

Easter...


Dylan wasn't that into Easter yet this year. We got him a basket and put a little bear in it. I was hoping he would latch on to this for comfort instead of the blankie. He walks around with his blankie and I'm afraid he's going to trip. So I kept giving it to him all day. He would give it a little hug and then move on. At bedtime when we got all situated to read our book I gave him his blankie and the teddy bear. But once I started singing and he rolled over to get comfy he threw the bear, so I picked up and gave it back to him. He then preceeded to take it and throw it across the room. I guess he would rather have his blankie. I place the bear in his crib by him every night but I don't think he cares. He had two Easter egg hunts, and he didn't really care about either. He loved being outside, obviously, but could care less about those eggs laying around everywhere. Mommy and daddy helped because we know that was the only way we were going to get any candy.










There isn't much else going on right now, so I will post a little more later.
