Put your hands up.........

Dylan's phrase for Halloween....."Your under arrest, come with me" and then he would handcuff me. This was my Halloween police officer. Dylan was a bit under the weather so he was not that into it this year. He decided he only wanted to trick-a-treat at houses where he knew the people. I think he had more fun handing the candy out. We will hope for a better time next year.

I think Fall is FINALLY on it's way to us burned out sun bunnies here is Arizona. Thank Goodness.... I love this time of the year. So very jealous of all the blogs out there that have pictures posted with trees showing their autumn colors. We don't get to experience it here in the desert. The palm trees just refuse to change colors. I cherish the memories of my childhood, the many times of raking piles of autumn leaves and jumping into the pile. So I say to myself "Self" boy those were good ole days!
Happy Fall Everyone

I"M A SLACKER

Yes, I have been so bad at my blog lately and it is all for good reason. I have been really busy with life in general and I have re-prioritized my life and the computer comes last. If you have e-mailed me & I have not responded, don't be mad I will get back to you. Don't give up on me I will be back with some current post- I promise.

First Day of School

Back into the swing of things. Yesterday was the official day. Mom's a day late on posting. Dylan headed off to school like a champ. Let me just say there were many not so happy little campers and he just stood tall and full of smiles. The photo below will show that. He is going full-time this year which means he stays for lunch and he was so excited and loves his scooby doo lunch box. He did so good and was pretty pooped by the end of the day. He really seems happy, which makes a happy Mamma & Daddy. It's all good.

picture is not so great but doesn't change the fact he is a handsome little man

That's my boy on prayer & pledge line full of goodbye smiles & waves
my little school dude

Hopefully all the first days of school ahead are all this smooth..... I can dream can't I?

Oh So Sweet Sunday

After church we loaded up in the car and Jeff says "Dylan where should we go"? Dylan replies "paradise bakery (for those who know Dylan he loves soup) some yummy soup sounds good to me". Dylan says "Mom that sounds like a good idea right"? So yes you guessed it off to the bakery we head. He loves their fire roasted tomato soup and pasta salad. We enjoyed our lunch, laughed and just cherished each other's company and now it was time to move on. Dylan stops at the door and says "can I throw a penny and make a wish"? I give him 3 pennies to throw into the fountain out front to make 3 special wishes. So this is where the sweet part comes in. He has not fully grasped the concept that he is suppose to keep his wish a secret and therefore Jeff & I try to play like we are not paying attention but it is just way to precious to pass up and so it goes like this. He throws the penny and folds his hands like he is praying and says " God I wish that you could help my Daddy get a good job", my heart melts as it has been quite tough the past couple years. I hand over penny #2, he throws the penny into the fountain and says "God please let us have a baby", my heart double melts as I continue to battle 2nd stage infertility. I hand over penny #3 he throws it into the fountain and says "I wish that I could have a big 4x4 truck to drive, my heart melts a little more. As we drove home I just really thought to myself with happy/sad tears hidden behind my eyeballs gosh how sweet of his little mind. He made sure to include a wish for each of us. Does he see the full picture already at only 4 1/2 yrs old? Family has always been important to me and as I grow older it becomes more & more important to me. I love him to pieces and he is my world. So having said that I only hope that his sweet little heart ALWAYS has a place for us. This is a moment I will cherish forever!
