Frustrated...

'Lil sad...still sick...can't sleep...Worried about how I'm gonna explain things to Dylan about his dad. At 4 years old, what can he understand?--Feeling guilty--Just wishing I could be the one in Dylan's shoes right now to take the pain away. Life is tough enough without having to deal with adult issues at 4 years old. -Not really a matter of Dyl experiencing pain and disappointment but rather minimizing it--Wishin' I had the answers--feeling frustrated that I'm frustrated--Wonder how I ever lived 7 years of my own life this way...Nobody to turn to...Nobody understands a bit about any of it... On a lighter note, I'm sure tomorrow will send answers...

Fire Station Buddies

Sunshine Square went on a field trip to the South Jordan fire station and these 2 had a blast!

Goin' Bananas!

What's up with these 2 little monkeys? What a couple of little goofs! We have been out enjoying the sunshine...Summer is almost here!

You're never fully dressed...

Without a smile! ...So I was looking through Leslie's pictures from Easter on the computer and I said, "Look Dyl...Look at all the cool eggs Chase and Shaylee colored...Aren't they awesome?" Dylan replied with, "Ya, but could you please make Uncle Gary smile?" For those of you who don't know Uncle Gary, he's a big, bald-headed teddy-bear who always has a serious look on his face. People who don't know him are often intimidated because of his "look."

Boys of Summer

Here are Dylan's best buds...They're so excited for the weather to be warmer so they can spend all their time outside playing and making adventures...

Bathtime...

One of my neighbors made this cute little lion hoodie towel and gave it to me before Dylan was born. It's my favorite! I love it when Dyl gets outta the bathtub and puts on baby lotion...He smells so clean after a long days' play! ...And I especially love it when Dylan says, "Mom...can we snuggle?"

Dying (& eating) Easter Eggs

Tonight was an adventure dying Easter eggs. Dylan wanted to do everything (and made sure I knew he knew what he was doing). We were about half-way finished when Dylan dropped an egg and it cracked. "Shoot!" He said..."I guess I'm gonna have to eat this egg 'cuz it's ruined now." Dyl proceeded with coloring eggs, all the while eating the egg he'd peeled. As soon as the first egg was gone..."Shoot...How did that happen? These eggs just keep 'crackin up' all the time," he declared. After the 3rd "dropped" egg I said, "Dyl, is your belly full of eggs yet?" Dylan looked at me with a very serious face and said, "Mom, I think we should just eat 'em all up so we won't have to worry if they crack." Can you tell Dylan likes eggs?

Singing Sensations!

I wanna give Dyl the opportunity to decide what he likes to do in life rather than force him to do what I want him to do...So we've been trying a few things out to see what he's interested in. We started with soccer, then t-ball, then swimming--The latest is Sunshine Generation, which is a singing/performing group. Dylan and his cousin, Chase, are the only boys in a group of about 15 kids...But I think that's the way Dylan likes it...He certainly loves to flirt with the girls! Their first performance was today at Wheeler Farm. We thought we'd be rained out but the weather cooperated and, I must say, the boys were absolutely marvelous!

I Scream, U Scream!

Payton came down to Salt Lake to visit. For some odd reason, Dylan decided they must have breakfast in bed. This is 2 boys' idea of a healthy "breakfast!"

Dyl even dug his favorite forks out of the kitchen drawer...

Yummy, yummy, yummy! Payton NEVER gets to do this at his house!

Payton got a little upset when his mom took breakfast away...
