Like Father, like son

We went out to breakfast one morning. I pull out the camera (as I always do) and tell the Jay and D to make faces and I'm gonna start snapping pictures. These three pictures were right in a row in a matter of minutes.....

Monster Trucks

In our house, Monster Trucks have helped Dalen conquer the battle against running to hide and poo in a diaper or poo in the potty!!! Who would have known that it could be that easy?? So, after many, many trips to Wal-mart, over 16 monster trucks and lots of encouragement, we have a champion!! Dalen knows the name of each one of his trucks and picks a new one every day to take with him.

Yesterday's conversation:

Jason: "Do you think we spoil Dalen?"

Wendy: "No, not at all....we just get him everything he wants."

Let's Go Fly A Kite!!

"Let's go fly a kite; up to the highest height...."
We went downtown last weekend for the Austin Kite Festival. We never found the festival, so we made our own kite day. Dalen had a "CARS" kite. He did a great job and had so much fun playing with it. Although every time he looked into the sky to see how high it was, the sun got in his eyes and he would let go........hence the picture of the kite flying and Dalen chasing after it!! But, he didn't seem to mind at all. He had a blast. It was daddy that was not having fun with his new toy. Jason got a "super cool big boy" kite with two handles that he never did figure out! Boys and their toys....LOL!!

CUPCAKES

We made cupcakes on Saturday night!! We made all different colors of icing and had spongebob cupcake holders. Dalen was eating an M&M for each one he used as a topping.....he was so proud of his cupcakes!!!
Of course, there's nothing better than enjoying something you put a ton of hard work into...needless to say, bath time came immediately after the enjoyment!!!

ELMO

We went to Dallas last weekend for Dalen's cousin, Julians 2nd birthday party. Dalen was sooo excited to go and visit JuJu and is still talking about him. There is no doubt that he loves his little cousin! How much does he love JuJu? Well, we were sitting here last night watching the President speaking. I was trying to tell Dalen who the President of the United States is. I told him about 5 times "President Obama"....later on, I asked "Dalen who is the president?" He says, "Mama....President JuJu!" He is so funny!
I thought he would be scared when Elmo came to the party (Since he was terrified of The Easter Bunny last year), but he wasn't. He even tried to give Elmo some of his race cars....he NEVER gives up the matchbox cars!!
I guess I forgot to mention that Dalen blew out the candles on the birthday cake....:(

Happy Days

I decided to start my blog with sharing a piece of my heart.
There are two people in this crazy world that always manage to put a huge smile on my face. Dalen and Jason.....my heart. The sweetest guys in the world.
Dalen has been in Idaho with Jeddie and grandma for the past few months and I was completely lost without him. (I had nobody to boss me around!) I have so many stories already.....if you're not prepared for continuous stories about my guys....this may not be the blog for you. :)
