Lunch was that good...huh??

Uncle Andrew leaves for Michigan!

On Saturday we had to say goodbye to Uncle or shall I say Elder Andrew as he left for the MTC. We met him at the airport for one last dinner and Dallin was making the funniest faces. I couldn't help but post a bunch of them! Good Luck on your mission Andrew!!!!

Dallin's Christmas present came early!!!

This weekend was so busy for our little family! Friday night Jake and I had a babysitter and we actually were able to go on an actual DATE! Can you imagine that? Of course we ended up at Home Depot looking for wood to build Dallin a sandbox. All this kid likes to do is sit and dig in the sand at the park so we decided to make him one for the backyard. I can't wait to invite his friends over for a play date!

Off he Goes!!

Sometimes I wonder if Dallin is ever going to slow down. He has started running everywhere he goes and I am worried about him getting hit by a car. Today as we shopped at Target we passed by the baby harnesses and I seriously considered buying one. I ordered our Christmas cards today with a picture of Dallin on them. I can't believe how much Dallin has grown since last December when I started this blog. He is so tall now! He is busy, busy all day long. I seem to collapse by 10:00PM from extreme fatigue. It is a wonder that I am not stick thin from chasing him around all day!

Just me in my chair!!!!

Grandma gave Dallin this cool cowboy chair for Christmas. He loves to sit in it and read his board books, how sweet. He drags it around the house and uses it as a stepping stool to get into daddy's electronics...not as sweet!

Fuller Fun!!!

Brayden and the rest of the Fuller clan came and stayed with us after Thanksgiving. Dallin had a blast playing with his buddy although he also beat him up a few to many times. The boys were able to go with their daddies to Golf Land but they decided golf is to boring and played in the playland instead!!1

I love this little Quicksilver shirt on Dallin...it is so soft, perfect for cuddle time.

Going, going....gone.

I can't believe just how active one little boy can be. Last Sunday he seemed to run non stop at church. When we brought him home and attempted to feed him lunch he crashed in his highchair. I guess it finally caught up with him.

McDonald's Playland

Who knew a trip to McDonald's playland and a double ear infection could be so much fun???

more of the new do!

Dallin's 1st Haircut!!!

My little boy is growing up. Dallin went to get his very 1st big boy haircut this week. At Lollilocks they have hippos and race cars to sit on but Dallin was not exactly excited to let a stranger chop off his precious blond hair so he ended up sitting in the chair with the seat belt which he was even less fond of! He cried but after it was over he looked in the mirror and smiled...pleased with his appearance no doubt! Mommy and Daddy think he looks pretty cute but the ultimate test is if Grandma approves!

Bathtime Drinks

Here Dallin is taking a bath. He felt the need to take a drink from the reverse O system in the middle of the bathing system. Here we are decorationg the house. I think this picture was taken at about midnight!

Grandma and Grandpa are in town!!

This weekend Grandpa Larry and Grandma Sue Sue came to visit. They brought out this new outfit mommy picked out for Dallin to wear on Christmas. Dallin was already searching for presents in their suitcase. Here he is playing with the new Burt and Ernie ball Grandma Sandee gave him on Halloween. What a handsome little devil!

Halloween Night

Halloween was so much fun as we had all the family over for a trick or treat party. Dallin started walking one week before Halloween and he looked so adorable in his "chicken" costume. We were planning on just having him pass out candy but he promptly decided upon watching his cousins that he was a big boy and he proceeded to walk independently down the driveway and down the street. He went door to door and collected as much candy as possible. Needless to say he slept very well that night!

Am I cute...hmmm???

Man I just love this little hat on him...he is so stubborn about wearing hats...I practically have to beg him. Winter comes with such cute clothing. Look at those big blue eyes...all dressed up and just going grocery shopping...my little ken doll.

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch!!!

We went to Mother Nature's Farm today and Dallin did what he does best....getting dirty. He had a ton of fun playing and picking out his very first pumpkin!!

Wow, What big eyes you have....

Our beautiful little boy!!

Ha Ha here he is covered in baby food after an 8 hour drive...sweet potatoes are such a good look for him!

newest little kriese

On our trip to Texas we drove up to Austin to see Amanda and her new baby Kiley. She is SOOO cute! Here she is at 2 months.

Dallin's First Christmas

Here we are in Houston for Dallin's first Christmas! Dallin loved his Grandma Sue Sue's decorating. She really went all out to make the house look festive. Dallin is wearing his new Christmas pajamas. Daddy cut his hair short a few days later.
