Dylan is THREE!

Wow, our baby boy is three years old now! I can't seem to find where the time is going! He had a great birthday weekend. He had Thomas the Train everything, even a pinata on Saturday night with his friends. Mom went a little over board this year, but that's OK! It was so exciting for him, and there is nothing better in life then to see your sweet boy thrilled because it's his birthday. Pa (grandpa Smith) came just to celebrate and Dylan was so happy to spend time with him, and Pa was too. Sunday morning after breakfast we all went bowling, it was Dylan's first time, and loved it. He was pretty good too, won his mom on the second game! Got a few spares too (with the help of bumpers and a guide!!!!) We then went and celebrated at Grandma Halverson's, she made his special request of spaghetti for dinner and yummy chocolate cup cakes. All in all he had a wonderful birthday with lots of people who love him to death! He got everything he wanted and then some, and is already talking about his next birthday. I have to admit I must be very lucky or blessed to have such a easy going, fun loving little child. The love that little boy has is breathtaking, and I wish everyone was more like him. Happy Birthday Boo.

OK, all my girl blogger friends... your IT!

Another Year Older

Once again I had a birthday. Boy each year goes by faster and faster. I had a great day though, and 28 feels the same as 27. My husband let me sleep in, cleaned house, made dinner and cake of my choice-I'm so lucky! I got my first pair of crocs, a designer handbag, and lots of clothes, and beautiful flowers. I am so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. Next celebration will be for Dylan's big 3 birthday, wow, where did my baby go??

Playing Piano

Right before Christmas, Deana and I had our first piano recital. Yes, I have started up piano again, and love it. This is Deana's first at learning, and seems to be a natural. I played for about a year and a half back when I was Deana's age, and am amazed at how much I learned and remembered! We had a big snow storm the night of the recital, so the crowd was small-which was good! Deana did EXCELLENT and played both of her songs like a pro, she is obviously good under pressure, unlike me! I know we are our own worse critic, but I was shaking like a leaf and screwed up both of my songs. I did manage to get through both of them, and keep going even after my mess up, so I guess I did OK. All in all it was fun, but I'm glad it's over, and am already dreading the next one! Justin was mad he had to work that night, but Dylan was right there to support us with his cheesey grin!

Merry Christmas!

Wow, Christmas has come and gone! I'm still amazed at how fast time goes by. It was a great Christmas at the Melchior household! The kids must have been very good this year, because boy did they get spoiled! Dylan was so excited about his train table, he didn't know what to do at first. The train Pa got for us to go around the tree was fun, even though Dylan would not let you touch it. Christmas day was busy with family and good food. The day after Christmas we headed to Washington to see my family. We flew into Portland and got a mini van (yes it was nice, but I still will never own one!) and drove up to Shelton to see my Grandpa Rice. He claims the last time I was up there was when I cut my foot, been a while huh Dodi?? We then took a ferry ride over to Seattle and stayed. The city was beautiful and it didn't rain much, and Justin was in heaven when we went to the Museum of Flight. We then drove back to Battle Ground and hung out with my mom and sisters. After that we headed back to the snow and cold of Salt Lake City, and of course the train table that was missed dearly! I wish I could say that we have great pictures of our trip, with my cool new camera, but I was smart enough to charge the battery and leave it at home. Oh well, the memories are still there! Our New Year was far from exciting, we returned home on the 31st, so our beds were more important then 2008. We were asleep by 10, man are we old!

B-Ball

I haven't posted anything in a while, I guess nothing good is going on! I'm sure I'll have great Christmas pictures all to soon. One Saturday we were bord, so we went to the school and played a little basketball. I guess I should say tried to play! I can admit it is not a strong point of mine. Dylan had fun, and the girls were pretty good at playing HORSE.

Too Cute!

Dylan is so innocent and cute I just had to post it. He decided one morning to eat his giant chocolate bar-yummy!
