Meeting!

Ray and Alvin got to meet Dylan on Monday night! Ray calls him "D". He really seemed to like him and he was very concerned when Dylan would cry. Here's a few shots of them...
I think this one is cute (I wish it weren't blurry) it looks like he's telling him "its alright, it will be OK" or "stop crying, your being to loud"

Helping Daddy...

Taking a good look...

Then Mike and Rachel asked if they could borrow the swing we had for Ray. So we got to go over there again on Wednesday night. I cant believe Ray was once smaller than him! That swing worked wonders for us and I just hope it can help them.

We really haven't been up to much this week. Grandma and Grandpa have been out of town so Ray has spent the last week and a half over at his Aunt Dawn's house. I really don't think he minded. He seems to really like to go over there and I am so grateful that I have somewhere to take Ray at times like these, rather than me taking off work.
Tomorrow we have swim lessons and after last Saturday, I'm ready to QUIT!!!! He is awful at them. He doesn't want to blow his bubble's or kick his legs, or doing anything other than whine and cry! So I am hoping tomorrow will be better. I'm sure all the other parents would appreciate a non whiny child in the class (so would I).

Here are just a couple other shots I took that I like...
We have been letting Grandma and Grandpa's dogs out at night so we gave him his bath in their "big" bathtub...


GO COLTS!!!

The holiday's a approaching fast, I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.
Bye for now!!!

He's here!!!

Introducing....Dylan Michael!!
He was born this morning at 8:00, weighing in at 8lbs 11oz and 22 inches long! He came a day earlier than expected, I guess he didn't want to be born on Friday the 13Th! Congrats to Mike and Rachel! He is absolutely perfect!!!!!!


Bye for now!!!

Happy 1st Birthday!

To my future daughter-in-law Kayla! It was on Friday night so Ray and I went to help celebrate the happy day. I work with her mommy Holly. Holly and I joke that we are going to arrange their marriage. She is so cute...

Ray gave her a flower, I wish I had gotten a better picture..

Hey can I have some?

You might remember a picture like this..it was taken at Ray's 1st birthday party. They both have grown up ALOT!!!!

It was a nice party and Ray got to spend some time with lots of kids!

What a WONDERFUL weekend! The weather was grrrrrreat! We played outside and opened up the house, I love being able to open the house up. Here's some pictures of the weekend.
Look at that hair...

"Hi Mommy"....

Remember a few posts back that I said Ray loved playing in the leaves...playing with them yes, sitting in them, not so much...


"Cheese"...that's what he is saying in this picture.

Swimming lessons didn't go over so well this week! The teacher had them put on life vests, he didn't mind at 1st, but boy was he ready to get that thing off. He cryed and didn't want to do anything!
I just have to share a very "proud" moment we had on Saturday. Alvin, Ray and I went to Sam's Club and we ran into Alvin's Uncle Simon. Simon reached out to shake Rays hand and Ray shook it!! Instead of cowering away like he normally does. I was so so proud! Just had to share!
We are going to have a new addition to the family this week!!! Mike and Rachel are scheduled to have baby Dylan on Friday the 13Th! I cant wait!!!!
Bye for now!!!
