On the Move

As everyone knows we are on the move to the great state of Arkansas!! I was blessed to have gotten the first job I applied for and I'm taking a HUGE pay increase. SO, I will not be able to blog for a few weeks. I will catch everyone up with Christmas pics, Dylan's birthday pics, and our move once we get somewhat settled.

Family Fun Night

I'm finally getting in the Holiday mood. Last night w made stockings as a family night project. We had so much fun, and I think they turned out rather nice. I bought plain stockings and a bunch of Christmas craft things and everyone chose what they wanted on their stocking. These we now be our stockings until they start falling apart!!

Pictures

We FINALLY had the kids pictures taken by a professional. We went to the Picture People. They did an amazing job and I LOVE the pictures we received. I would reccomend them to anyone!!! They take your pictures, you pick them out, and you receive the prints all in the same day. No waiting a week or more for the pictures. Heres a link to the pictures if you would like to view them.

Christmas Concert

Dylan had his very first Christmas musical concert this week. It was so incredibly adorable. The school he goes to is Pre-school thru 8th grade. So the concert he was in was Pre-School thru 1st grade. I was a proud momma!!
I tried to get pictures of him on stage, but there were so many people and he was so far away I couldn't get a good picture. And, the lighting in the gym was horrible.

My Little Photographer

Dylan has picked up the skill of snapping random pictures. He's actually not too bad!! He actually needs no help taking pictures, so when I'm uploading my pictures onto the computer I will find weird pictures in between pictures I've taken. It's really quite amuzing!! Here are a few of his latest snapshots.

Best Part of the Day

This is what I get to wake up to every morning!!!

It is by far one of the best times of the day.

This is what we are doing at 8:30 almost every night.

I love this time of night.

Underwear Boy

If Dylan were a super-hero he would be called "Underwear Boy"!!!

I told him to go get ready for school while I checked my email. He came out of his room to ask me a question looking like this. (And yes, if you were wondering they are clean underwear.)

Fort Dylanwood

Today while Peyton and I were napping on this cold, wet dreary day "the boys" were having some good 'ol fort time. This is waht I woke up to...

Arkansas Here We Come

We have finally gotten the approval from Dylan's Dad to move!!! After our lease is up at the end of March we will be making a new home in Bentonville, AR. We are so excited and can hardly wait. We are waiting to tell Dylan, because he has no since of time and he won't understand that it is 5 months from now. So we're going to tell him once I start packing the boxes!!!

Worlds of Fun

We went to Worlds of Fun today, since it was the last weekend of the year that it's opened. (Thanks Mom for the free tickets!!) Dylan had so much fun and Peyton had a nice nap! It was nice, because we went early and there wasn't very many people there so Dylan could stay on rides as many times as he wanted. His favorite was the bumper cars, and surprisingly he was really good at. I can't wait for him to get a little taller that way he can ride the big roller coasters.

Saturday Afternoon Fun

The day after Halloween we had to take advantage of being in St. Louis on a beautiful day. We went to the Butterfly House, which is amazing. There are thousands of butterflies in a conservatory and they fly all around you. I tried to take some pictures of all the butterflies, but they moved so fast I only got one. I had a butterfly land on my hand and another one that landed on my head. There's also the St. Louis Carousel and a nice sized park in the same area. The kids had a blast playing together.

Ghostly Fun

My little Pumpkin!!

The Loot!!!!

Dylan had a blast for Halloween. We went and shared the fun in St. Louis with my sister. Dylan had to be a ghost so here's what I made for him. I tried to make him a friendly ghost but it turned out to be a scary ghost with the face paint. He loved it, and that's all that matters. I didn't get any pictures of Dylan's cousins with him, but my sister did on her blog. Thanks Sis for a great time!!

Camera Shy

I have one of the happiest babies ever. He's always smiling and cooing. But, as soon as I get the camera out he won't smile. I had daddy's help tonight, so I was able to get some pictures of Peyton smiling. I thought I would share them, since he's getting so big so fast.

The Zoo

In the months of October and November if you are a Kansas City resident you get into the zoo for free! I was so excited because it would normally cost us $30 to get in. So, we went to the zoo this last weekend. I only got a few pictures and then my camera died. Dylan had an absolute blast, he's not scared of anything. Some of the kids were afraid of the animals, but Dylan kept asking us if he could bring them home. Our Zoo in Kansas City is ok, but this spring I have to take him to the Omaha Zoo. (It's by far the best zoo)

Our Blog

Yes, I finally did it!!! I now have a blog, like the rest of my stay-at-home mom friends. I guess working every other weekend makes me a stay-at-home mom too! Plus, everyone can check here for family updates, instead of me putting out emails. So, everyone enjoy!!
