White and Blue

Dillan is SUCH a snuggle bug! His bed is FILLED with like 20 stuffed animals and he always has to have his two blankies in bed: White and Blue. That is what we call them. It is funny to see what blankets your kids will gravitate to given that you have like 20 when they are babies. The two that Dilly chose were white and blue. White was a little blankie I bought at the Daisy Shop that was on sale and it was so soft (silly to buy white considering how dirty it gets, but at least I can bleach it:). Blue is the Little Giraffe blanket that has his name on it. Whenever he gets into bed for nap or nightime, the first question is "Where is white and blue?" We have to have both at all times. Anytime we spend the night somewhere else, they both  make the trip. I love watching him snuggle, all the while sucking his thumb. Love this snugglebug!

White..Check, Blue...Check, Thumb....Check!

Mommy and Me Class

Dillan and I joined a mommy and me class this year and it has been so fun! My girlfriend Nicole has done it with her boys, and finally we have a kid the same age (my first and her third:). Her mom, Patti, teaches the class which is so fun because Patti has known me since I was born! A lot of my close friends are taking the class too with their two year olds, so Dillan has all his buddies there! I leave Connor with a babysitter and it is Dillan and I's special date together every Tuesday. They get to do crafts, play with fun toys, have circle time where we sing songs, read books, and then play on the playground while the mommies have a lesson together. We have both thouroughly enjoyed the class together and love that it lasts the whole year! This last week we got to take a field trip to Tanaka Farms where the kids got to pick vegetables and their own pumpkin. Dillan LOVED riding in the tractor-pulled wagon as well as petting the goats at the petting zoo. It was a great day....just Mommy and Dilly!

Pumpkin Patch

It is so fun every fall to head over to the pumpkin patch that is right by the house. We don't actually buy pumpkins from there because they are like a billion dollars:) But we do ride the rides and take LOTS of cute pictures. It is crazy to see how different our lives are each year we go. Last year I was pregnant with Connor and Dillan was 18 months old. This year, I got a crazy toddler and a little peanut! We went twice this year as usual. Once with friends, and once with daddy. This was the first year that Dillan wanted to ride the rides. It was so CUTE!

Introducing....Wyatt Andrew!

My new nephew was born on Friday, October 7th weighing in at 8 lbs 11 ozs and 21 inches long! He is the CUTEST and I got a front seat to his grand entrance into this world. Watching Wyatt be born was such a blessing. Jordyn did an amazing job during labor and he arrived at 5:41 pm. I already miss him so much and can't wait to get my hands back on him. Watching Wyatt grow up will one of this life's greatest blessings!

Welcome to the world Wyatt!

Hi little buddy

8 months old!

Another month has come and gone! Connor is 8 months old and still the happiest baby on the block:) This month Connor cut his first two bottom teeth, and also started to army crawl! It's been a busy month:) It is so fun to watch Connor scoot all around the house. I can only imagine when he gets fast! I am going to have to keep my eye this one! Connor has also gotten pretty "choosey" about his food. He PREFERS to feed himself and only wants to eat big kid food. Sometimes he gets so frustrated with me feeding him baby food and just cries and cries, and then you give him a cracker or bagel and he holds it himself and is immediately happy and content! I have a feeling this kid is always going to want to be doing what his big bro is doing:) This next month we have lots to look forward to: pulling himself up, more crawling, weaning, and HALLOWEEN! Connor is going to be a lobster!

Hey Everybody!

Look at my feet

Bathing Beauties

Seriously, I know I am biased, of course, but HOW CUTE ARE THESE BOYS???!!!!!! The boys have been taking baths together for awhile now, but it is seriously so fun. They sit there and play together and Dillan shows Connor all of his tricks. Connor spends most of the time just laughing. After baths, Dusty and I usually tag team getting the boys out and dressed. Connor has an elephant towel and Dillan has a frog towel. We always say "who ordered an elephant" or "who ordered a froggy?" It is just so cute and I love all of our little routines!

Crawling

My little man is scooting all around. He hasn't quite gotten up on his knees, but he can army crawl with the best of them! His favorite destinations? Jax's food and water bowl of course. He also really likes the door stopper and the sound it makes. Each stage with this sweet boy gets better and better. The only downside to Connor being mobile is that Dillan is not too happy with him being able to reach and grab his toys now:) I am trying to get Dillan to show him how all the toys work and be a good big brother! Love this little guy!

My two boys

Every once in awhile I get to snuggle my two boys at once (this is rare since Dillan rarely sits still). But whenever I am holding both of them I always say "My two boys!" So now Dillan will ask me to pick him up or will come cuddle when I am holding Connor and he will say "Momma's two boys." It is pretty much the cutest thing ever. I LOVE being a mom to these two boys. And while I am hoping for pink, ribbons, and dolls sometime in the future (not the near future:)...right now I am LOVING trucks, scrapes, bruises, and blue! I am working my butt off to raise two God fearing, trustworthy, loving men of integrity and character. They bless me everyday. I love my two boys!
