Dillon Earns His Bear In Scouts!

This was an exciting night for Dillon because he earned his Bear!! Now he moves on to Webelos. Wow, where does the time go? This will be his last year in cub scouts, then he moves up to boy scouts when he is 11 years old. Yes, this makes me cry again. I hate seeing my kids grow up so fast.

He looks so proud of his accomplishment, as he should be.
haha....Who says Dillon and I don't look alike. I am making the same face as Dillon is in the picture above. I am just hoping he doesn't poke me with the pin he is putting on me. He is giving me a pin to show me "thankfulness" for the help I gave him during his year of earning his bear badge. It's a big accomplishment. It takes up to a year to earn.
So sweet!
Dillon's good friend Timmy earned his Bear the same night Dillon did. Special night for the 2 of them. Good job boys!
It was a little cold....can you tell? Such silly boys!

Lexie Learned How To Ride Her Bike!!!

She's already to go!!
Lexie decided she wanted to learn how to ride her bike without training wheels. Jason first wanted her to try on Kaitlyn's old bike. She tired really hard, but she was having a hard time keeping the bike up. Then I suggested that we just take the training wheels off her bike because it was smaller. She was having a hard time with Kaitlyn's old bike I thought because it was so big.
Jason took her training wheels off and then guess what?? She just took off riding like she'd been riding her bike forever. It was the craziest thing. We all cheered for her. She was so excited.
Here she is! Look at her go!

No stopping her now. She rode all over our street that day. It was so exciting!
She was beyond excited and so proud of herself. She really felt so grown up. Way to go Lexie!!
Our dog Lilly was outside with us playing and Jason put his sunglasses on her. I'm sure she loved it.

My baby boy turns 10!!

For Dillon's birthday, we spent the day together as a family with the birthday boy. We decided to take the day off of school, because what kid wants to spend the day doing schoolwork on their birthday? Here is what our fun day included.....Oh wait, here is a picture of a little memory for you of my little man Dillon.
Just had to post a picture of Dillon when he was 3 1/2 years old. Everytime I look at this picture, tears swell up in my eyes. He was and is the cutest little guy.
First we started the day off with Dillon's favorite breakfast....Cinnamon Rolls!! We of course had to sing "Happy Birthday" to him and put candles on it.
Then we to Devinci's in Stockton and Dillon had his favorite food, spaphetti and meatballs.
THEN WE WENT BOWLING..............
Dillon's ready to bowl.
Kaitlyn got her ball.
This picture says, "Oh well, I tried my best."
Go Lexie!
Go Dillon!

Waiting for her turn.
My little man.....for now.
She was excited, she just did really good. She sure does have good luck bowling. She won her brother and sister. It was so funny.
Sister's.... So sweet!
THEN WE WENT TO THE PARK...........................
This was the funniest thing. We went to the park and this butterfly seriously wouldn't leave Dillon alone. It kept landing on just him. We were all around him and it only liked him. So strange to us because he was wearing white and didn't look like a flower, unlike Lexie that had bright flowers all over her shirt. We laughed and laughed at how the butterfly liked him. It must of known it was his birthday. haha.
I love this picture!!! Dillon and his buddy.
Cute!
These two are best buddies.

Love Lexie's ribbons in this picture.
I got some great pictures of Lexie & Dillon.

She is such a sweetie!

Dillon's 10th Birthday Party With Family & Friends

Every year I take pictures of the birthday child with their siblings. They are so cute and growing up way too fast. So sad.
Lexie got new sunglasses and had to wear them in the picture.
I told them that I was going to take a silly picture of them if they would suffer through all my pictures I was taking of them. Especially Dillon, this is his least favorite thing to do, especially on his birthday. But he's so cute!
Dillon's basketball cake. He's playing on a basketball team right now and is really loving it.
My handsome birthday boy. I can't believe he is 10 years old.
Caught him blowing out the candles.

Eating cake with his friends.
Dillon got lots of great presents.



Dillon loves money!
