Gramma and Pops Courtney got Dilan his first Big Wheel! He can't quite reach the pedals but he still enjoys being pushed around! He had so much fun while Gramma visited! He even got to stay home from Daycare!

Oh my goodness...cake everywhere! All in good fun though! Good thing he got a new bath-tub for his b-day.

Scott decided he needed to have blue frosting war paint to complete his first birthday.

He is thinking..."oh my gosh mommy I get to eat this!"

I conquered the train cake! I suppose you can't go wrong with Funfetti Cake, frosting and oreo wheels! Dilan seemed to really love his blue engine!

Dilan got some new shades, bath towels, and building blocks from Grandma and Pappy Beall! Looking pretty cool!

Scott, Gramma Courtney, and I took Dilan to the pool on his B-day! Dilan loves the water, he splashes and plays...

I can't believe that Dilan is almost 1!!! We are so excited to celebrate his b-day next week. His Gramma Courtney will be here to celebrate, and I am making him a train cake! We are going to take him to pool on his special day, as he loves to splash around!

Dilan and I just completed a 5K in Missoula. It was the Frost Fever frozen frolic...we did pretty good for as windy as it was! He is so good, he just loves to ride in the stroller and looks all around.

Scott and I took him snowshoeing this weekend. Sunday when Scott carried him he fell asleep and slept for most of his ride! When I tried to carry him he wanted to pull my hair! But it felt good to get out and get some fresh air...

I just had an interview for another part-time job with the YMCA as a program coordinator. I would do this in addition to my teaching job, since I am already part-time and am afraid that I might lose more hours next year...trying to be pro-active, plus I think that would be a fun job too!

We finally got our x-mas tree!!! Dilan wasn't able to go with us because it was 20 below zero, so we quickly cut it down out in our backyard while he was napping! He is doing so good with it and not pulling on the ornaments or branches...he is such a sweetie, we are so lucky and love him soooooo much! Have a wonderful holiday season!

Dilan and I are in Michigan for Thanksgiving! We are having so much fun, and Dilan just found out he is having a girl cousin!!! He loves taking baths at Grandma and Pappy's house, and he even sat on Santa's lap at the mall! He has gotten to see his Uncle Andy and Aunt Andrea, his Grams and Pops Courtney, and Uncle Greg and Aunt Kimberly! It has been so fun!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Post Halloween! We had a fun time dressing up, and carving our pumpkin! We can't wait to see everyone at Thanksgiving!

Dilans Growing!!!

Dilan is doing so good! He is getting so big! He is not quite crawling yet, but really wants to and can almost pull himself up into a sitting position! He is eating mostly solid foods, really loves his cheerios and mangos! Scott is been doing lots of hunting but no luck yet! Pops and Grams Courtney were just here, and that was very special for Grams to take care of Dilan while I was at school! Dilan and I are going to Kalamazoo on the 26th of December. We are going to have an early birthday party for him! I will try to keep this more updated so you all can see how much he is growing! We hope that everyone is doing well and we are thinking of you all!
