Our big boy turns 3!!!

Dilan turned 3 this past saturday, and I can believe how old he is getting! We got him a kazaam bike (a balance bike) to use when the weather gets nice, but he loves riding it in the house! We had a dinosaur party with cupcakes, and a carpet picnic (any time we have pizza that is what we call it!) Grammie Courtney and I also took him to the pool, where he showed he is ready for swimming lessons very soon!

Dilan got to help make is own cupcakes for his birthday. He loves being in the kitchen with me!

Grammie Courtney's visit to Montana!

Grammie Courtney came to visit for a couple of weeks, and had a great time with Dilan. Dilan loved staying home with her, and she even got him almost all the way potty trained!! They played in the snow, built snowman angels, and went to The Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman for an early b-day celebration!

Working on our potty training!!!

Christmas 2010, Family Time!

Christmas 2010 has been one of the best ever! Scott had three days off in a row, which is a miracle! We spent christmas eve eating appetizers, and sharing in some family traditions with Dilan...he and I made cookies for Santa, and the look on his face in the morning when he saw they were gone was priceless! Here are a few pictures from the weekend's events... Christmas day nap...he didn't want any part of napping in his room, so he came out and the next thing we knew he was asleep on the couch, notice the bowl of snacks on his tummy!

Opening some new playdough toys from Uncle Andy and Aunt Andrea!

Helping Mommy make cookies for Santa!

Getting outside and enjoying some winter fresh air...Dilan and I went snowshoeing also, and he took his new binoculars to see the birds!

Dilan got a new kitchen for x-mas! He is having so much fun making eggs, and mixing muffins! He is my litle helper!

Dilan picked these two cookies to leave for Santa...

Fall fun with Grammy and Pappy Beall

Dilan's Grammy and Pappy have been visiting Montana for a couple of months and Dilan is having the greatest time! He gets to stay with them instead of going to daycare, and gets all the one-on-one attention!

Dilan has been enjoying feeding the horses, they are right outside Grammy and Pappy's house!

A Visit to the Pumpkin Patch!

This past weekend, Grammie Beall, Pappy Beall, and Mommy took Dilan to the Pumpkin Patch in Missoula! Dilan had a great time picking out his pumpkins, and even more fun helping mommy cut them! Dilan is going to be a giraffe this year, so we will be sure to post lots of pictures! Happy Halloween!

Huckleberries and Hiking!

We have spent the last couple of weekends hiking and picking huckleberries before school starts. This first picture, Dilan is watching Daddy go "potty" and decided he should do the same! He is almost potty trained...we are hoping that when Grandma and Pappy come out we will be all out of diapers! Yea!

On our hike to Morrell Falls. Dilan walked part of the 2.5 miles, and Scott and I carried him the rest of the way in the pack, he just loves being outside!

4th of July in Seeley Lake, MT

We had a great 4th of July weekend, we went hiking as a family, Dilan and I went to the parade, and spent the evening with great friends! Here's to another 4th of July in Seeley Lake, MT!

Trip to Helena, MT!

We took a rainy drive over to Helena, MT this Memorial Day weekend. We planned on going to the Exploration Works museum which their website and answering machine said they were open on Sunday, but we got there and were quickly disappointed to see they changed their hours and were closed on Sunday! But we made the best of it, and saw some statues, and went on the carousel! Dilan is getting so big and sat on the horses all by himself! I sat next to him for one ride, and asked him to hold my hand!

Vacation to Michigan over Spring Break!

2nd Cousin Courtney giving Dilan his first Michigan haircut! Courtney just graduated from Beauty school!

Having so much fun at the lake!

Dilan still not sure what to think of the Easter Bunny...he waited until we were leaving to say goodbye to the bunny!

The look says it all!

Dilan got to make his first "build a bear" he decided to make a chick!

Dilan got sidewalk chalk from his Aunt Andie, he had so much fun, but I think Uncle Andy had more fun saying how awesome he was!!!

Dilan loved helping Grandma Beall do the dishes! He is such the little helper!

Dilan loves his Pappy Beall!

Grandma Beall got Dilan an Elmo doll in his Easter Basket, he was so happy!

Go Spartans!!!!
