Pine Cones

The boys and I go on walks often up here. Dillon is always on the hunt for the biggest pine cone we see. So we found these pine cones on this last walk and he wanted to paint them. So while Cooper took his nap I got to paint the pine cones with Dillon. It was easy and a good little art project for Dillon.Once he started painting he was very focused on where he was putting the paint. So cute! I love having time to just hang out with Dillon.

He's so silly

I was in the bathroom getting ready and the boys were eating some cheese in the other room. Dillon comes in the bathroom and says .......
Dillon: Mom, Can I have more cheese?
Me: No
Dillon : BUT MOM
Me: Dillon, No more BUTS you can't have any more cheese
Dillon: Mom, I'm not talking about BUTTS I'm talking about CHEESE.

We took a walk the other day and we turned the corner to our house and he just stopped. I said Dillon what are you doing and he said "Mom, It's so beautiful out here." It was halarious.

I tell Dillon all the time if you eat your food you will get strong muscles and have lots of energy. So after he eats now he says look Mom I have strong muscles and lots of energy to go and pick up cars.

Dillon says this kind of stuff all the time.

I have a halarious video of Dillon if I can get it uploaded off my video camera.

Boating in Laughlin

WE had SO much FUN! We haven't gone boating with Brach's parents in a while and I was kinda nervous with Cooper and Dillon. BUT everything worked out great. We took off and got the boat out by 10am and drove around to find a spot. Brach and Dillon got on the weenie. Then we found our spot. When we first showed up I was kinda bummed that it was all rock and I had left my stinkin' BRAND NEW, BOUGHT LAST NIGHT WATER SHOES. But Grandma saved me and she let me wear her water shoes. Grandpa and her just floated out in the water so she wasn't using them. Sjohn (my brother in law found a cliff to jump off of that was about 25 feet. Not to high for all those chickens that were scared to jump off. We had a total BLAST and couldn't have asked for a better time. Anyone want to go in 2 weeks?

Sneaky Little Thing

Oh, he got caught.
He went in the bathroom and got the stool. He plopped it down next to the couch and climbed himself right on up.
He thought it was so silly.
Yesterday, Cooper had gone into the bathroom and came out with the stool. He stands on everything and I wasn't surprised that he had figured out that if he puts the stool next to the couch that he could climb up it. He was so excited that he had got up on the couch. When I took him off the couch he just screamed at me. He is getting so big and is just changing everyday. What happened to my little baby?

We went on a REALLY HOT Date

Well Brach and I got away on Saturday night for a couple hours. We haven't been away from the kids in a while and well everyone needs to be alone with their spouse every once in a while. I was planning on taking him to a really fancy restaurant and then at the last minute I cancelled the reservations. I just kinda wanted to just hang out with Brach and I didn't really want to get all dressed up in a dress. So we decided to go out to the Bass Pro Shop. We had never been there and I probably won't be back again. It wasn't really for me but Brach was in guy heaven. We ate at the Fish Company inside the Shop. Brach's food was really good and mine wasn't any good. So then we went over to Victoria Garden's and Brach wasn't too excited about that because those stores are really for women. We did stop and get the best thing of the day. White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake. YUM! A slice that was all for me. Needless to say it wasn't the HOTTEST date ever but I had good company. Thanks Hun!

Beach Trip

We went down to my parents beach condo this last weekend. We went with Rick, Nicole and their kids. Cooper loves the water and sand and Dillon actually got in the water this time. Last time he was afraid of the water . We all had so much fun hanging out.

Dirty, Dirty, Dirty

Cooper was so dirty.
He was having a great time being dirty too.
Dillon was on the clean up crew.
He pulled everything out of the shed. He told me he was cleaning up because it was really dirty.
Dillon got sent to the corner for being mean to his brother. Every time Dillon gets sent to the corner Cooper follows him and laughs. Cooper thinks it is a game.
Cooper was lounging on this chair and when I came in to take a picture he wouldn't sit still. It was so cute. He had his leg up and his head back and was just relaxing.
Back in the dirt.
He loved it and even better he wasn't crying. He could have sat there forever if I didn't have to come in and make dinner.
Thanks Dillon for cleaning up.

Well I haven't blogged in a while. I know I'm always the one trying to get everyone else to blog. For some reason it has gotten really hard to blog with my 2 crazy boys all over the place. We haven't been up to all that much. On Labor Day we went to my parents and went swimming and ran a couple errands. It was a much needed relaxing day at the pool. I can't think of anything new going on but I will post more pictures later.
