What an amazing sibling combo!

Kayda discovered a mirror we had sitting around. It's one of the fake kind that don't break so I laid it on the floor for her. She had a great time with it. She wanted everyone else to think it was cool as she did so she kept pulling either mommy or daddy down to sit with her while she played with it. It's funny what will entertain kids.
Dillon just hung out the whole time, looking around with those big blue eyes.

These two make life with two babies under 1.5 years as easy as any babies possibly could. Kayda absolutely adores her little brother, she is starting to want to lay down next to him and hold him. She gives him kisses and rubs his head. This morning when she woke up she came in looking for him. He was already awake and was getting his diaper changed. She sat next to him and he just started grinning at her. I'm excited for when he's big enough for them to start to play together. Kayda already thinks he's so great, it will be interesting to see what she thinks when he can respond to her better. We couldn't have asked for better kids.

Dillon's First Easter and Kayda's Second!

Here are our sweet babies on Easter. This is one of the first pictures of Dillon smiling we have been able to catch, thank heavens for getting the new camera, now we can actually catch those moments. Kayda did NOT like having a dress and tights on at first but she adjusted rather quickly. I think I'm going to put her in dresses all summer, she is just so cute that way. We spent the day visiting with Jordan, Chelsea and their kids (Jordan is Brian's best friend who now lives in Arizona). Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa G's for dinner before we headed over to visit Grandma and Grandpa H. Unfortunately with everything that happened on Saturday (Dillon's party) we didn't have the chance to prep for the easter egg dying and the hunt. We're trying to decide if we want to do it another weekend or just wait until next year when BOTH babies can participate.

Dillon's Welcome Party


So many of our friends and family came to see Dillon and celebrate his birth (2 months late of course). We had a barbecue, Grandma Peggy worked so hard to help us get everything ready for it. It was a great evening and we loved getting to show off our sweet little boy. He slept the majority of the time but Kayda spent almost the entire time outside with the big kids. In the picture are MOST of the kids that came. All except for one in this group are cousins, there were a few other kids that came but they had come and gone by the time we took the picture. Good thing the weather cooperated or it could've been interesting having them all in the house!

First time blogging

We have enough friends and family that we don't get to see frequently that we decided a blog would be a good thing to do for our little family. I'm planning to post some pictures from Easter and Dillon's welcoming party as soon as I get the chance.
