Many faces of Dylann

We were just playing around and this is what she came up with.

The one on the bottom is her falling, b/c she didn't want to give a good smile. Silly girl.

Newport Aquarium

We went to the Newport Aquarium, last week for a day trip. We had so much fun. My kids loved it. Bruce was so into everything, he loved looking at all the fish and pointing up and and talking to them, or hitting the glass. Which I know is not a loud, but he is a baby what harm can he do. Well We took so many pictures, that I didn't want to bore you with all of them so I made this cool thing my friend Ashley told me about. Its called Picasa. Its free too. I love it, enjoy our pictures.

We had a lot of fun, we will be going again. Too bad its so expensive. 

 St Patty's Day, it was kind of a last min effort. So I pulled out the green food coloring and tried to find different things to color green. We all wore green and drank green milk.

 I made green pancakes for the kids and me for lunch, they were all for it. I had to pump myself up for it. I know that it wouldn't taste different but they looked a little weird for me, It was so much fun, Dylann wants do do a pink day next. Dylann is holding my attempt at a 4 leaf clover.

 

That night Danny and I were able to go to a hockey game. It was our first pro hockey game ever. We don't know anything about hockey. The only thing we know about hockey is that they get into a lot of fights. So we were hoping for a good fight. Well we were in luck, they had a fight in the first quarter.



Here we are watching the game.

what a fun St. Patty's day.

Bruce Blood

Oh boy. What a day, I picked up a day at work, and as I was on my way to work I get a phone call.

It was Dylann,

She was yelling 'mommy come home Bruce blood, Bruce need stitches'

I started to freak out.

Then I hear Danny say 'I can't hear you just come home we need to take Bruce to the ER.'

Ok so now I am really freaking out, I pull this crazy car move to get home.

I walk in the door and this is what I find.

 I was hysterical.

He tripped and hit his head on the TV stand.

We take Dylann to my moms, b/c she couldn't miss ballet

and we go to the urgent care.

After we get there, Bruce could care less about what is going on.

They take us back and this is whats going on.

 Well I think I cried harder than he did.

He was really good. I learned something new. They don't give kids his age stitches.

So they gave him liquid stitches. Oh my little man.

He is totally happy, he acts like nothing happened.

He is full of life and all over the place.

He runs all over and screams

and now he is climbing up on everything he can.

Crazy boy, 1 trip down to the urgent care, lets home we don't have any more for him

Future Black Mail

My kids crack me up. They do the funniest things and the simplest things make them happy.

Dylann loves to dress up or more like wear everything she owns.

She was given some bracelets from my mom, and of course when she puts them on she has to have every single one on. She also has all of her silly bands. She thinks its so cool, she says 'I so cool mommy'

The other thing she does is wear so many clothes at once.

In this picture she has on her pjs, a tutu, her leggings pulled down to her ankles, all of her bracelets, a necklace, which she calls her bracelet and her new Church shoes.

She now wears on top of everything she puts on a dress that my mom made me when I was a kid.

Bruce is one crazy little guy. This is how I found him from a nap.

Some how he got his pants off, and missing a sock.

Another thing Bruce has been into lately is...

this tiara!!

He grabs it and brings it to me and makes me put it on he gets this big huge smile and walks around the house. Then takes it off and brings it back to me.

I just have to laugh at him. I think he knows that he shouldn't be into that, b/c it has taken me forever to get a pic of him with it on.

This one isn't bad it is just cute, went to the new Firehouse Subs here, it is so yummy. Well when you go they give all the kids fire hats. The kids where so happy about it. Dylann loves it and had to get one for her bunny to wear too. Bruce loves to wear it, almost more than the tiara. Danny likes it b/c Bruce is wearing a boy hat instead of a tiara.

(disclaimer, Danny really didn't want me to put up the pic of the tiara but, I think it is too cute, sorry love)

Silly Dylann

Dylann is our little crazy girl. She is 3 going on 16, our little 3 year old teenager.

My mom came over the other day and right away Dylann asked to have some lipstick.

Well my mom did one better, she let her put some powder on, and use the mirror.

While we were talking, Dylann had some other things on her mind.

We looked over at her and this is what we found...

We could not stop laughing, she had this funny face, thinking she is so cool or something.

Then that night when she was supposed to be sleeping we found this... 

all the animals lined up in the tube after her bath.

 and this...

Well I guess we are no longer doing naps any more,

b/c she stays up and plays in the bathroom.

I love being a mom!!

So awhile ago I was asked to give an interview for the Columbus Parents Magazine. They were doing an article on SIDS, and they wanted to interview someone who has had a premie and ask them about what went on with them. 

I was all excited for it, and totally up for it. It brought back a lot of old memories about my little Dlyann. If you don't already know she was 8 weeks early, and had to spent 3 weeks in the NICU. So we were really worried about her for a long time. We had to do a lot of different thing to keep her healthy. When we were finally able to bring her home we were not a loud to bring her anywhere. We had to keep her away from kids, and any one who had the tiniest cold. The 2 places the doctor said that no matter what we were not aloud to go was church and movie theaters b/c, they are filled with germs. So we did what we were supposed to do. 

Anyways back to the interview. It just came out. I think it turned out really good. Dylann looks so cute in the picture, and its not my best, but whatever, its manly about her. If you want to read it go here. I am just so grateful that that time in my life is over. I learned a lot and I just hope that I don't have to go through it again.

I just love this crazy girl
