6 months

Today I took Dyl to the doctor for his 6 month check up. The boy is a stud. He weighed in at 17 lbs 5 oz and is in the 60th percentile. His height is in the 30th and his Berry noggin is in the 80th. My boys have big heads to make room for all them brains!
At this point in time Dyl is working on getting his first tooth. It's just starting to poke through. He can get up on all fours and rock, but army crawls like a champ ALL OVER the house. He also enjoys rolling everywhere. He loves to play in his jumper. The kid can go 30 minutes non stop. I can't help but laugh at him whith his chunky little thighs hanging out the bottom.
Dylan's sleep routine has gotten better. He's napping in his crib really well, and sleeps 4-5 hours at a time at night. He eats every 4 hours, and really only cries if he's super hungry, overly tired, or hurt. I try not to let him get hurt, but let's face it, he has 2 older brothers that LOVE him and want him to be big enough to wrestle.

we're the chipmunks

For Halloween, my sweet boys dressed up as Alvin and the Chipmunks.
I must say, they looked pretty stinkin cute!

Doesn't he make the perfect Simon?

Happy Halloween!

Klausmeyer Dairy Farm

Today we visited Klausmeyer Dairy Farm with some friends. We all had a good time, but the boys especially enjoyed the outing. They got to bottle feed a calf, feed goats, sheep and cows, watch pig races, take a hay ride and pick out a pumpkin. I'm so $15 and came home with 3 pumpkins. I call that a good deal.

cowtown

Today was National Museum Day, and being lovers of free things, we cashed in on some free tickets to the Old Cowtown Museum today. I had never been there before and was excited for the experience, but more so was excited to spend the day, outside of the house, doing something with my family. And bonus, it was FREE. Did I mention that we love free things? I would share some amazing pictures with you of my adorable children walking through the saloon, pumping water from the well, or studying in the one room school house, but alas, I forgot my camera. I swear I get more forgetful the more children I have. However, I do have many new photos of the boys that I have taken, and promise to post them soon. Right now I am in the rocking chair snuggling a sleeping Dylan who has decided that a nap in his bed just isn't going to happen today.

Oh, the point of this post: Cowtown was a fun experience and I highly recomend taking your family to explore the past. When the boys are a little older we'll go back. And next time, I'll take my camera.

family pictures

We had family pictures taken at the end of August and they are online for viewing. It is going to be so hard to choose which ones to buy. The shoot was quick, but she got some great shots. In the past we have always gone to Portrait Innovations but this time we got to go "fancy" as Collin would say. Dan has taught 2 of the photographer's kids and for Christmas last year she gave us a gift certificate for a free shoot and an 11x14. A pretty awesome gift, but of course I have to buy more than that, and being on a tight budget is going to make choosing that much harder.

Enjoy oohing and aweing over my beautiful family!
