Happy Birthday Dallin!!

I am a little behind, but last week was Dallins 3rd Birthday. He wanted a Cars party. We had his party on Saturday with 2 families from the ward, cousins, and grandparents. He had so much fun he didn't even eat until right before everyone left. On his actual birthday Jon woke at 4:30 and took Dallin to breakfast at his favorite restaurant, Cracker Barrel, for pancakes. Dallin could eat pancakes or cereal for every meal of the day. When he got home my dad and I took him to Deana Rose. It is the greatest place ever! It is FREE and they have animals to pet, some zoo type animals, a park, and tons of interactive stuff. It seriously takes all day to see everything. So we went there and he had a blast. Now that he is 3 he got to ride the pony too. And Elise was the perfect angel the whole day. She was so content just sitting in her stroller watching the kids. It was a really fun day. For those of you that aren't around Dallin much, he is such a great kid. He is the most polite, sweet, smart, and fun kid ever. We have so much fun with him. We love you Dallin!

Family News...

Let me start with, NO ONE IS PREGNANT..

Okay, now that this covered, Janet and David (Jon's parents) are officially moving to Kansas City. David started his new job on Monday and their house is on the market. Janet is going to go back and finish up her substitute teaching job till December and David will be staying with us in the mean time. It is pretty crazy that within 10 months of us moving here, we have both sets of grandparents moved to Missouri. That is pretty awesome! We are so excited to have even more family close. Rachel.... are you getting tempted yet??

Need I say more?

I have gotten this pamplet twice in the mail, both times being around a holiday (my birthday and mothers day). I couldn't agree more.

Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures

Since I don't have anything to post about, I am posting pictures of the kids. That is always fun! So enjoy!

Elise bounced herself to sleep

This was completely unprompted. He is SO silly!


Look at those big, beautiful blue eyes!


Notice the plastic snake in her hand. This is her FAVORITE toy. She take that thing everywhere.
Getting ready to go to the "Festival in the Park"
This is Dallin's all time favorite thing to do at fairs
Elise was so cute in her dress from Aunt Sarah.


Elise is getting really good at feeding herself.

One weird day

On Sunday Dallin had one of those weird days. We were at church and between him and Elise one of them was trying to annoy the entire congregation. They were so loud. So I took Elise out and Jon took Dallin out. Dallin was having a really hard time because it was nap time so Jon took him outside so that he could calm him down. In the process Dallin wondered off and when Jon finally caught up to him he was petting a wasp! Yeah a wasp! The kid won't touch a worm but he decides it is a good idea to pet a wasp. Jon had to lure him away from it so it didn't sting him. He apparently has a bad lack of judgement. That night I had a YW meeting after church for 2 hours so Jon had to do dinner with the kids. Dallin came up to Jon and said, "This milk is too yuck!" That is his polite way of saying something doesn't taste good. Remembering that he didn't give Dallin any milk, he asked him where he got the milk from. Dallin said his fridge. Let me emphasize HIS fridge. He has a little play kitchen that has a fridge.
So he put his cup of milk in there who knows when and then took it out and decided to drink it. When I got home the first thing I said was, "What is that smell?" It was that strong and he took a drink. It was all separated and disgusting looking. It had to be in there for a least a week! I can't get the kid to try fruits and veggies but he tried to drink that! I don't know about him sometimes...

You know I have a Birthday Coming Up...
