HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY DYLAN!!!

Happy 3rd birthday Dylan! It is so hard to believe that you are already 3 years old! Daddy and I are just so proud of you and make us so happy. You have learned so much in the last year. You have such a tender heart and love to make people around you laugh. You love reading (listening) to books and playing ABC games with Daddy on the computer. You light up when you get to play with your friends and Mommy's heart melts every Sunday at your excitement when we get to church and you yell, "Mommy look, it is God's house!!" . We hope that you have a great birthday and are looking forward to all of the new and exciting things this year is going to bring!

Helping Mommy put the finishing touches on your Spider Man cake at Grandma Jean's house.

HHH Bike Ride

Mommy and Daddy did the Wichita Falls Hotter'N Hell bike ride this weekend. Derek and I got to stay with Aunt Grace and Uncle Lee. We had a great time with them! Thank you so much for watching us!
Mommy and Daddy stayed at the Chaparral Center which is a Baptist encampment in Wichita Falls. In years past, Grandma Jean and Grandpa Bob have done a LOT of work there. It was a VERY nice place to stay and the food was excellent!

Weekend in New Braunfels!

We had a great weekend with Gran, Papa, Aunt Grace, Uncle Lee, and Aunt Diane and Uncle Tom. We went to New Braunfels and did lots of fun things. We went to the city chute, went shopping at the outlet and went to Aquarena Spring. Here we are enjoying the glass bottom boat!
Derek loved the aquarium!

Having fun with Papa in the hotel. He watched us on Saturday night so that Mommy could enjoy the outlet mall!

Gran enjoying the day!

Aunt Grace and Unlce Lee

Going down the tube chute. I liked it better when I sat on Mommy's lap and we made a big train.

This was our fist time to go. You can see that Mommy was a little nervous...


So tired after a GREAT weekend!

Fun time with friends!

Last week Mrs. Amanda came over to watch us so that Mommy, Daddy, and Mr. Paul could go on a bike ride. We played lots of fun things and had freezer pops outside!

New Shoes!

My little Derek is walking all over the place! It has been about 2 weeks now that he has really perfected his new skill. SO, we needed to get some new shoes to help us get around. The boys love their new Nikes!
Dylan will be ready for PE class this fall in his new shoes!

Lake Fun in Oklahoma!

Last week we got to go to two different lakes in Oklahoma! We went with Gran, Papa, and our Illinois cousins to Grand Lake. We had a great time on the boat and hanging out!

We also went to Lake Tinkeller (mommy does not know how to spell it!) for the Eisenhour Family Reunion. Uncle Jim took us for a ride on his motorcycle that has a side car! I loved it!
