Off to the Movies!

We took the kids to see their first big screen movie this evening. We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. Both kids were pretty good. When we got in the theater Kayda kept talking about the big screen and was very excited for the movie. She did exceptionally well, she ended up standing most of the time but we were seated right behind the handicap spots so it was just a railing in front of us. She would dance to the music and get all excited when something good happened. We had to remind her a couple of times that we should try to be quiet so we don't bother other people. Dillon did well for the first hour. After that his attention started to wander to the lights along the walkway. We had to take him out twice but only for a few minutes. Considering he's just barely two he did great. When we left Kayda wanted to "go see Chipmunk again".

Dillon's Second Birthday!

Dillon turned two yesterday. We ended up driving him around to visit grandparents (our house hasn't recovered from attempting the den just yet and the kids have been sick for almost a month now). He didn't really understand the concept of birthday though. When people would call him "birthday boy" or tell him "happy birthday" he would get upset until in the evening when he got the presents...then it was okay. Both Kayda and Dillon helped me make and frost cupcakes they did a great job and did whatever I asked them to. We'll celebrate with all the cousins once the kiddos have fully recovered from their colds. Here are some pictures from our traveling celebration:
