Happy Father's Day!!

We had a very relaxing Father's Day yesterday. The boys stayed the night, we did the coffee thing in the morning (of course, Jon can't function without his daily fix!!), went bowling, did dinner over at Jon's parents house (amazing, as usually), stopped by the Meadows shindig for a minute, then went home. Here is a picture of Dylan with Grandpa Mike and Grandpa Meadows!! Disappointed to report that of all days...I didn't get a pic with Dylan and Jon:( I am so bad at taking pictures. Anyway, hope all you father's had an amazing day!! And, thank you to all the fathers in our lives, we love you!! But, especially to Jon for being such an amazing husband and father.

Dylan's first big injury

Well Dylan had her first "big" injury this weekend...you know, besides the scrapes and bruises of everyday crawling life. She was taking her nap on Saturday afternoon and Jon heard a big thud, followed by a death curdling scream. His first thought...she crawled out of the crib (not likely, but I guess anything can happen). He went upstairs to find her in her crib with a nose bleed. He brought her down to me to get the blood all wiped off, then we were off to investigate. We found...nothing. We are assuming that she was standing in the crib and somehow hit her nose on the top of the side rail. The thing is is that it is skinned up to where the cut is, sad!! I know there will be a lot worse in the future, but this was pretty tramatic on us all.

Finally...an update!!!

Well...I warned that I may not be too good at this blogging thing!!! But, here I am finally with an update. First, let's start with the boys...
Forrest's soccer season ended a couple of weeks ago, he was the star of his team with at least a couple of goals each game!! He tried out for Sparta (a competition soccer club) and broke his foot during tryouts, he is now wearing a walking cast :( We are still waiting on the results of the tryouts, with big hopes! We will keep you posted....
Chandler still has one more soccer game left!! He is also doing a great job this season, he is the best goalie on his team, or in his age group for that matter!! I think we could call Chandler Dylan's # 1 fan and vice versa. He loves carrying Dylan around the house, spinning her, playing the drums for her, you name it...he does it. It is so cute!! Both the boys are such a huge help with Dylan, I am so lucky to have them!!
Last week the boys went with their mom to South Dakota and had a blast!! They drove there and stayed in a cabin with some of their aunts and uncles and their grandma. They saw Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and so much more. Forrest took a ton (by a ton, I mean over 900) of pictures...I will try to get him to get on here to post a few! Now, they are just waiting for school to end...5 more days!! They can't wait for summertime! They are planning a trip up to Payson Lakes in June and we are hoping for a week at Jordanelle in July.
Dylan is now 10 months and changing daily!! She started crawling about a month and a half ago and we can barely keep up. As soon as we set her down on the floor, she either heads for the stairs (which she climbs very well now) or out the back door...before getting to either, she turns around to make sure we are watching, then smiles (knowing that both are off limits) and continues!! Her first tooth broke through a couple of weeks ago with her second to follow about a week later!! She is a great eater...though, her measurements don't reflect it...she is in the 15 percentile, just a wee one:)
Jon & I are still just plugging away as usual...not much new with us!!
Here are a few recent pics...enjoy!!

















One of the few pictures of Forrest we were able to take, the boys really don't like their picture taken (maybe a little of Grammie T and their dad in them!!)















I had to bribe Chandler for this one...


Dylan showing off her shoe fettish!!


Stuffing her mouth with one of her favorites...Cheerios!
















Here are the dogs...Tahoe is showing off his baby...


Just hanging out in the highchair
















We get a little messy with dinner sometimes...I think she was showing off for the boys!!

The kids decided to take a break in our "comfy" bed

This is the look we get before she heads out the door!!

Hanging out with Grandma Meadows and GG on Mother's Day!!

Ski day at Solitude

Here's Jon and the boys livin it up on the slopes. They only got to go up a couple of times, but had a blast when they did!!! On the way down the canyon on the last trip, they saw this moose off the side of the road!!

Dylan and I stayed behind this year, maybe next year we'll be able to get her up there. We are having a family battle over what she will do...ski or snowboard!! Forrest, of course, wants a boarding buddy and Chandler wants her to be like the rest of us...only time (and Dylan) will tell!!

Dylan's first Easter

Here are some pics of Dylan on Easter!! We are having so much fun with her. She changes it seems like everyday!! She is not crawling (forward) yet, but is getting very close. She will get on her hands and knees, then just push off with her arms...sending her backwards. She gets really frustrated. She is sleeping through the night now more than not, we do occasionally have our sleepless nights though!! She is definitely learning how to get her way...all she needs to do is squeal a little then follow it by a cry (fake may I add).

Starting out...

Well...we have finally joined the blogging world!! I know, about time huh?!? I will even try to keep up on it:) Let's see how this works...
