Dylan is 4

Dylan's real birthday was on a school day so we opened presents before school and took iced donuts for his class. After school we headed to Nana's house to give Dylan his big gift. Steven and I boought him a ride-on Gator. He calls it his John Deere! He loved it and we had dinner and cake over there. It was a nice birthday celebration.

Below is a picture of Dylan and his friend Caleb at school they have the same birthday and have been in the same class 3 years in a row. They are so handsome.

Halloween 2011

The boys have been very excited about Halloween this year. Dylan had his IronMan costume at least a month before Halloween. The Friday before they had a parade at school and wore their costumes. Levi did not want to wear his Superman suit so he wore a puppy suit and Dylan was IronMan. Levi saw Steven right away and the parade was over for him. Dylan waved at us and proudly paraded to chapel.

Halloween night we had a neighborhood parade led by a firetruck and then the boys trick or treated. They both loved it. Dylan ran the whole way with is friend Hunter and Levi and I followed behind. Levi was saying trick or treat and thank you. Of course everyone thought he was so cute! It was a Happy Halloween indeed.

Other October news - Levi no longer has a pacifer. It was a tough 4-5 days but now he is completely over it. We went to the dentist who told us it was affecting his jaw, etc. and to get rid of it and Steven took it away that night. So Levi is now a big boy but still has his blankey!

Hawaii 2011

The last week of September, Steven and I left for 5 nights for the Big Island of Hawaii. We are very fortunate and have friends with a family beach house/ranch there. We went with several great friends and had an awesome time. We had 2 beautiful beach days, hiked 4.2 miles across a volcano and relaxed! It was hard leaving the boys but we knew they were in good hands.

Levi's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Levi's birthday all weekend. Friday, his actual birthday he celebrated at school. They made him a crown and sang to him at chapel. Friday night we went to La Ha with friends to celebrate and yesterday we had a small party at the house for him. He says he still wants to be a baby but enjoyed all his parties and presents!

At two Levi is wild! He is still an excellent eater and sleeper but when he is awake he is a handful. He is very talkative, very active and loves music (singing and dancing). He also loves his big brother and is always watching out for him and copying him. He has turned into more of a mommy's boy and still has a pacifier and blankie. He still adores Steven also and asks where Daddy is a lot and loves riding in his truck.

September Trip to Port A

This was unfortunately our last beach trip of the year! The weather and water could not have been better. And since school is back in it was not overcrowded. It was a great family weekend!

Labor Day 2011

We spent the weekend at the lake house with my parents and sister's family. The weather was windy and cool for September due to Tropical Storm Lee.
