Sea World!

We took Dillan to go see Shamu this weekend and he loved it! Sea World has a great deal going right now so when you buy a ticket you get the rest of the year free! We went down to our old stomping grounds in San Diego and had an amazing day with our good friends, Sarah, Jimmy and Jamesie. We saw all sorts of cool things when we were there....sharks, dolphins, bat rays, and best of all SHAMU! Dillan was mesmerized by the big whales. Next time we go I hope Dillan will be walking so he can enjoy the sesame street park. But the cool thing is we can go back whenever we want. I LOVE experiencing new things with Dillan and Dusty as a family. We are having so much fun!

10 months old!

Is it already April??? What the heck...this is crazy! Am I really just two short months away from having a 1 year old little boy? You know when you first have your baby and you are like "I can't wait to see what he is going to be like as a little boy?" Well I am entering into that stage! Dillan is transforming before my very eyes from a baby to a little boy. He talks, laughs, eats, plays, and is just generally the most amazing kid ever! Dillan got his first haircut this last month and that made him look even older! Dillan is just now starting to get a little separation anxiety. He won't just go to anyone anymore and gets real sad when momma isn't around. This always makes me feel special, but I want Dillan to be super social, so we are trying to encourage that. The plans for Dillan's first year party are well under way....it's going to be a rager! Look at my party boy!

Easter

Easter was a super busy weekend for us as always! We headed up to Pasadena on Saturday and spent some timing dying easter eggs at the Davis household....there is always some stiff competition when it comes to egg dying:) We headed over to the Olson's later and had a great dinner with Boe and Chrissy, Papa and GG, and Oly and PJ. Charlie and Dillan got some sweet stuff in their Easter baskets and it is so fun to watch them play together as they get older. Sunday we went to church at Christian Assembly and had an amazing time really celebrating what the day meant. I love worshipping at CA and the service was amazing. Back to the Davis household for a kick ass easter hunt where Whit made out with $140 and Beebs and Dilly got some awesome Easter baskets. The food was amazing as always, but more importantly the fellowship was priceless. My life is defined by the cross. I would not be the woman I am today, if Christ hadn't died for me. I am forever grateful that my Saviour took on my sins and sacrificed himself so that I have life.....an abundant life.

Palm Springs

We took our bi-annual trip with our friends the Cefalia's to Palm Springs a few weeks ago. This time was so fun because the boys are just getting so big and enjoying the world around them so much! We had beautiful weather and an amazing time hanging out in the sun and at the pool. The dads played golf while the moms hung with their little boys. Dillan was trying his hardest to keep up with Jamesie! Needless to say he took lots of tumbles in the process! The boys kept us on our feet, but once they were in bed it was time to relax and enjoy our time together. Aren't our boys the bomb???
