Dilan's 7, ALMOST!

We had a small family get together today to help Dilan celebrate his upcoming 7th birthday on June 4th.  For his actual birthday we will be in La Jolla.  Here are some pics of the very easy going day.

Dilan & Addie

Addie just adores Dilan.  Shortly before this picture was taken I told her it was nap time and she started yelling DiDi and of course he rescued her.  So they sat together and watched iCarly. They even did a little random dancing.  Those of you who watch iCarly no what I am talking about :)

Another Tooth

Dilan came home today with Uncle Paul and said her couldn't eat his Subway because of his loose tooth, so I yanked it.  It was very ready, totally detached from the back.  This was tooth number 5.  It is already in his Pirate tooth pillow awaiting that little fairy :)

Dilan's Memorial Day

Dilan spent Memorial Day with Uncle Paul and Aunt Sarah.  He did many things as you can see from the pics.  He had a ball and still can't stop talking about his sleepover and "Rich Necklace"( a gold chain that Dilan asked for) that Uncle Paul and Aunt Sarah gave him for his birthday.  You can see the rich necklace in his lost tooth picture.

Memorial Day

Yesterday was a perfect hot and sunny day for swimming and a BBQ.  I started off the day at Zumba at the gym so I could partake in bad eating habits.  When I got home Dilan had already left for a fun filled sleepover with Aunt Sarah and Uncle Paul.  They went fishing,  to Gameworks, Tempe Market Place, watched movies and ate!  I had told Dilan not to ask for anything so when they went in to Tilly's Dilan said, "Mommy and Daddy said not to ask for anything but in case your wondering I wear a size 7!"  That is priceless.  On to our day with the girls.  We started off with lots of swimming, then a blazing BBQ (truly, lots of flames) then back to swimming.  We then headed off to Baskin Robbins for some ice cream and back home to snuggle up and watch the Heroes finale from weeks ago.  We had a great day but it was sure quiet without Dilan.  We really missed him.  

I love You, I Don't Love You

That is the "Flower" game that Haylee likes to play when she picks flowers in the front yard.  It cracks me up to hear her little voice saying, "I love you, I don't love you."

The Comparison

First Day of 1st Grade

Last Day of 1st Grade

WOW!  Dilan you have grown-up so much.  What a handsome cool dude you are.

Dilan's Last Day of 1st Grade

I just sent Dilan off to his last day of 1st grade.  This year flew by in a flash.  He has learned so many new things.  The year brought several crazy firsts too.  His first fight on the playground which sent him to his first trip to the assistant principles office which got him his first lunch detention.  The worst was his first badly broken arm.  We are still dealing with that one.  He just finished physical therapy and has regained 90% of his range of motion.  He did a great job this year by studying his spelling words so hard each week. He got a 100% almost every week.  You make us so proud Dilan.

My How You've Grown

1st Day

Last Day

Haylee, you have grown so much in just over 8 months.  I can't believe it, your first year of preschool is over and you will soon be four.  I remember picking out your little outfit the first day of school and last night you picked the same outfit to wear on your last day.  As we sat in here together looking at pictures and listening to music you were shaking your hips so proudly, "Look at me mommy!"  She thinks she is doing Zumba moves.  I love you so much and you make me so proud.

Haylee's Last Day of Preschool

Enough pictures Mom!









I can hardly believe it.  Today was Haylee's last day of preschool.  This year was over in a flash. She had a wonderful year with such a great teacher, Mrs. Eager.  They brought in a big water jumpy thing and had a pizza party.  The girls had a ball.
