Dallyn!

Well I didn't have my camera to take video of my baby! My dad has it though of my little baby WALKING! Yes, walking! Bryson and Lilly didn't walk till they were 16 months old and Dallyn is almost 13 months! He is so funny and crazy! Of course he walked on Thanksgiving with my sister there! He did awesome!

Also update on Bryson, He got into Scottish Rite. That is free speech, and from what I heard it is intense! yes he has made a TON of progress this year but hey its free and we will do it! We have been on the waiting list since first of August and they told us 6-9 months so we lucked out!

That is all that is really new! Haven't taken any pictures lately either. I just need to get the video from my dad!

Twilight!

SO I was one of the crazy people that went to the 11:59 showing of the movie Twilight. I thought it was good and I am going to see it on wednesday again with my mom and sister! It was crazy seeing all the people there and people dressed up in prom dresses and etc. Also leaving the theatre holy cow! Talk about people, you seriously couldn't like move. I decided too before the movie started I wanted a frozen icee thing in the cup. Well the line was so long every line was it was crazy I didnt' get one. Oh well. I was just amazed at all the people and it just made me laugh!
But go see the movie I thought it was good!

My Dog

WHALLY

7-7-03 to 11-6-08

Our favorite and furry friend was put down last Thursday! It was an AWFUL day is all I can say! I am still having the hardest time then anyone in my family!

*He was my dog (Daddy bought him for me as soon as we moved to our 1st house)
*One of my best friend
*The nicest dog in the world
*Loved my kids
*Let my kids jump all over him

*He chased his own tail in circles
*He loved the snow. He was a total snow dog

*I loved his growl that scared everyone when he wanted them to play!
*I loved everything about my dog and there will NEVER be another dog that could ever replace him.
*He had 2 girlfriends :) (Emily and Colleen!)
*I even loved that when he would get up and walk to the other side of my bed it, he would lay down and it would creak.
*He would barf in my house
*He would Poop on a walk
*He would lay in front of my door into the house and I wouldn't be able to get in (this was the last month)
Didn't matter what it was I still loved Everything about my dog.
Daddy decided it was time after the storm last week when Whally couldn't even walk! Couldn't get up cause of the cold. He tore his ACL on his right leg and they would have to do a 2K surgery to replace it and plate his knee. Before that he tore his left ACL and we did do the surgery. Daddy said no way are we doing it again because on top of that he had Hip Dyphasia and so in a year his hips could have gone out! I miss him and cry daily for my dog! I am glad though that he isn't hurting now even being on strong pain medication.

As for the kids they are understanding and I really don't understand how we got the sweet little spirituals spirits in our house! Last Friday Bryson said
"Mommy are you said"
"yes Bryson mommy is very sad"
"It ok Mommy, When I get bigger I buy you a new doggie"
He is my most caring little guy that always gives me hugs when I am sad!

Lilly now says
"Whally all better mom, He is with Jesus and playing with Great Grandpa"!

I am trying to figure out why I am having a 100 times harder time then they are with not having my dog and they just make me smile and understand that when we die we will see Jesus!

Primary Program!

All I can say is that I was one Proud Mommy! The kids were so excited for their Program and Lilly has been signing all of the songs that they sang. Since she is a Sun Beam she got to sing "I am a Child of God" and they did a great job at it. Then later in the program Bryson had like a 4 sentence phrase to say. I didn't tell anyone about their program cause I knew and thought they would do absolutely nothing!

Well did my 5 year old prove me wrong and make me just about to start crying! He went up to the microphone and said his part something along the lines "Today the president of the church is Thomas S. Monson. He hold all keys to the priesthood. He leads and directs our church today." That is not word for word. I was just so proud of him for doing what he did. After he said his part ,(we were sitting with our neighbor Paul) Paul looked at Daddy and said "Wow he is really coming out of his shell"!

Just wanted to share a Proud moment of what my son did and for the people that really know him will know what a big thing that is!

To top the Sunday off after Sacrament we got stopped by the secretary of our ward asking us if we could meet with someone in the Bishopric. So we did and we both got our 1st calling in basically 7 years that we have been married! Can tell more on Sunday!

Tubes Build Halloween and Birthday

I know I haven't posted for awhile it sure feels like forever, but life gets busy! Dallyn ended up getting tubes in his ears on Tuesday and we learned he likes apple juice only warm (YUCK) but hey it’s something new. Also, at the hospital as we were waiting to go back he took his FIRST step and then fell to his bum! He was a trooper through it. He didn't have his surgery till 8:30 so he didn’t' get anything till around 9:30 he was starving! He did like his Tylenol with the Versed that he took! But he did great through the surgery and is still doing good. He has just made a habit of pulling his ears when he eats now. Dallyn Holding the bottle for the
1st time is he not SPOILED or what! Dallyn after his Versed and Tylenol Later in the week this is how I found my kids playing all together! They do love each other!

Then on Thursday we carved pumpkins. That was fun but gross YUCK! Bryson helped gut his but Lilly wouldn't even touch it. Bryson had to pick the biggest pumpkin! Just smiled for the camera! It was a lot of fun though! We took the kids trick or treating and Bryson was so cute! He made me take Dallyn up to ever Door and if he didn't get a piece of candy he would tell the people "my BABY" it was sure cute watching him look out for him, but really I didn't want the candy. Just walked up with my kids to make sure they were safe and show off their penguins, he is part of my flock, Right!

On Saturday's we go to Home Depot or Lowes to their little build clinic for the kids. They love it every time. They are always asking what are we making today and we never know.

Yesterday we had Dallyn's birthday party. Still can't believe he is 1! How weird is that. He got a lot of fun toys and clothes that he desperately needed. Seeing Bryson wore 18-24 months at this age none of his close fit. Dallyn is just barely getting into 12 month stuff! He had lots of fun though with his cake; wow does he know how to make a mess that is all I can say! His stats for a one year old at Weight 22 lbs (43%) Height 29 inches (19%) and his head was 17.5 inches (5%). His head has always been that size and he has always been all over the chart. But he is growing just slower then the other two and that’s ok! We sure do love him! Happy Birthday Dallyn!

Ok so this post I finally got around to doing it. Blogger would not let me move pictures after I added them. But it finally got done!

The Witches

With My nieghbor and her girls we took the kids to Gardner Village to go see the witches. My kids now want to show Daddy the witches! But we had fun and the kids loved looking for them all over! But here are some pictures and I love the ones I just snapped of Dallyn!

A week of Fun

Well since Bryson goes back to school next week (YEAH) we decided we would do something fun. Last friday we went to the pumpkin patch while it was warm and of course Bryson picked out on of the BIGGEST pumpkins! They had tractors there for the kids to play on and then a little tiny corn maze.

Big Brother walking sister out!

After their little corn maze the kids really wanted to go walk through corn as they would say! We went when it was 40 degrees and was it cold at first then it warmed up cause the wind died. That morning the kids had watched Curious George and George was the winner of a corn maze race. They were so excited for Family Night. Of course they corn maze place gave a map so we had to use the map just like George but it was really fun and cute!

On Thursday we went to the zoo with the kids best friend Cadence. We fit 5 kids and 2 strollers in the Durango and still had a little room to spare! I love my car! We had so much fun at the zoo and the kids loved it! They really liked seeing the elephants and then one of the monkeys had a baby. I think their favorite part was the carasole. We tried to get pictures of the 4 of us for Daddy but almost everyone Dallyn was screaming. Don't know what it was but he sure did HATE those figurines.

Dallyn the whole time in

his Blanket Grammy made him

***Just though I would also say how terrified my precious Dallyn is of stairs since we fell. I think it was tuesday and I was about to go down to get the kids and I was up at the top and Dallyn was facing out and he was seriously SHAKING and trembling. So I turned him around and he did a death grip on me! I sure hope he won't be terrified forever about stairs but I feel horrible but just glad that I was somehow able to pull him into me cause as I remember more about it he could have seriously gotten hurt or broken a bone himself!

When I get Big!

Here we were having Sunday Dinner and the cutest thing came out of my sons mouth!
Lilly is the one that starts off the converstion.

Lilly: "Daddy when I get big we will get a trailer."
Daddy: "Yes, Lilly when you get bigger."
Bryson: "When I get bigger, I am going to buy a Jeep and a Trailer and you guys stay home."
Daddy: "Excuse me, I want to go".
Bryson: "Yea, I get a wallet when I get bigger and I go buy my trailer".
Mommy: "What color Trailer do you want"
Bryson": "I get a blue Jeep and a Green Trailer like Tylers (his friends trailer)".

We just started laughing. Wish he only knew he had to have a lot of money IN that wallet to buy the trailer but we didn't want to burst the bubble!

Dance and Goldfish

The night before I fell, Lilly started dance just through the community flyer and it is 8 classes. I tried this last year and she just cried so I pulled her from it. This year, she was with her best friend Cadence and boy was there a difference. She actually looked like she was having fun. I mean here is the quietest girl you will ever meet, she does talk but it takes her like years to warm up but wow she was dancing. She wasn't interacting with the other kids but hey we may get there. I was very proud of my little princess!! Daddy came home to take care of the kids and get them off to school and speech Dallyn was having fun with Daddy also! Sharing goldfish! He loved digging for them and it was so cute! I still can't believe that he is 11 MONTH old TODAY! Scary I almost have a 1 year old! Daddy had to go to school later that night but here is where he found us when he got home at 7:45! All in mommy's bed asleep! **An update on my Bryson: He is doing awesome in speech with school. They are very impressed on how well he is doing each week! he goes twice a week before school for 30 minutes. That way he isn't being pulled from class! He loves kindergarten! We have been trying to see if we could get a diagnosis through the state. Well we went up yesterday all they said that they see in him is Communication problem and some anxiety! PHEW what a relief that was even though I kinda knew it. He doesn't have Autism, or PDD( Provasive developmental delay). I wouldn't have cared if he did have any of those since he almost died. He is alive I will always love him. But I feel blessed thats all it is! But he is seriously making huge progress! He reads 7 sight words, knows the alphabet, counts to 30, knows alphabet sounds so we are doing GREAT!

A trip down the Stairs!

Thats right I fell down the stairs and lucky it wasn't broken! It all started wednesday morning and I got Dallyn his bottle was going to go email Daddy to tell him something. Well I had Dallyn in my arms and then his bottle in the other. So i was just about there and the poor boy hates to go downstairs. he alwasy clings too you and now after this accident he won't even look! Anyhow i was almost down and don't know what had happened. All I know is I was on my butt, heard a loud pop, Dallyn screaming cause he smacked his head on the wall so hard, and I couldn't move my ankle!

I was yelling for Bryson from what I could as he just went out to go check for red tomotes for grammy and papa. Luckly I had the windows opened. So he ran in and then ran to our neighbor (which she is usually home int he morning cause she home schools) but she ran over and saw us at the bottom of the stairs. She got Dallyn and checked his head and he was ok. Phew I was only worrying about my baby and that he wasn't bleeding inside his brain, I am a mom and could have cared less about me at that moment.

Anyhow, as my neighbor got there she got me to somehow calm down and breathe. She told me "you were white as a ghost, if not grey". I have never just about passed out let alone felt like I was going to throw up. Before she got there I was just trying to hug my baby but didn't really work cause I couldn't breathe, (he was on my lap through tryign to get him to calm down). All that was going through my mind "I can't pass out, I have three kids. come on just breathe" .

After about 10 minutes just laying there we decided I was goign to the doctor. I went up backwards up the stairs and pushed myself with my arms and that hurt. I hopped into the car. They did like 5 xrays and I was lucky it wasn't broken but then again I have never broken a bone so I guess I can't LOL! I couldn't walk or anythign so we got me a walking boot from daddy's mom and with that I CAN WALK! Through all of this I learned though my baby loves ICEE'S He sure did deserve one!
