{sitting big}

Baby D is sitting! There are still some tumbles, but he is getting so strong. Now he can sit with big bro and play like a big boy, he is so happy and proud!!

{out at the Ranch}

We ended up at Grandpa's ranch today. C met baby goats,

mama goats, donkeys,

more donkey's,

D enjoyed the sun shine,

and talked to Madonna,

the tractors were the big attraction of the day.

C loves tractors these days. We read books about them, he points them out on TV and while we are driving around town. He was so excited see all the tractors Grandpa has out there, but he was NOT excited when Grandpa offered to take him for a ride. I think the loud noise of it cranking scared him, so he just watched Grandpa move hay.

I think we surprised Grandpa showing up today, but we all had a lot of fun and we look forward to going out there again.

{Dillon @ 7 months}

Dillon had his 6 month well baby visit today. He is late getting his shots because his appointment keeps getting pushed back due to being ill with cronic ear infections.

The stats:

weight: 21.9 lbs (90%)

length: 29" (95%)

Baby Dillon is growing and growing. He is now rolling from his back to tummy; tummy to back; and pushing up. D is not a fan of vegetables, preferring bananas, pears, apples and yogurt. Sometimes it's a challenge to get D to eat when he is not feeling well, but bananas always cause excitement. Dillon is falling in love with his big bro more and more every day, watching Cooper and trying to take his toys. He is saying 'Dada' non-stop, making Brandon's heart melt.

Baby D is scheduled to get ear tubes in early April. I pray this makes my baby feel SO much better. Amazingly even though he has been struggling with ear infections since November Dillon can still smile as big as the sun!

I love this baby!!!

{hangin with Daddy}

We loaded up and went to play with Daddy. Cooper and Dillon had so much fun, and Mommie enjoyed getting to see old friends too. Daddy took C for another ride on the four wheeler and even got C to wear a helmet this time. Then C helped Daddy's friends work on a bike, he wanted to learn how to be a mechanic!

Mimi went along to help, so Dillon smuggled with her for his nap.

great weather, sunshine, good ol family time, getting dirty, seeing friends, sharing momnets in life

{daddy's toys}

Daddy went to practice today and when he got home he let Cooper and his girlfriend play with his bike. Cooper is already picking up chicks with his four-wheeler!

After this picture Daddy took Cooper for a ride up and down the street, Cooper was "riding scared" as Daddy calls it. I didn't have my camera, so no pic.

I also, wish I had my camera with me this morning when Daddy was loading up to leave. We were outside playing while he got his stuff together and when he went to push the bike down the driveway he asked Cooper to help so they both push it to the street together. So cute!

The boys, Mimi and I are heading out to watch Daddy race tomorrow. Not too sure how that's really going to work out....hopefully I'll get some pictures to share....

Dillon's 1st snow!

We got about 5 inches so of course we had to take advantage of the photo op..
Cooper's 1st attempt to walk in snow=not so successful
When walking was difficult he thought crawling would be a good option until his hands were burning in pain from the cold, he finally got the hang of it though.

Cain loves snow! He just runs in circles when it snows.

Love the hat!
