Dillan's Bow And Arrow

Dillan saved up all his money for the past year for a bow and arrow he has been wanting. He finally saved up enough money and the day he bought it he was outside for hours shooting it. He is getting really good too! He is out there everyday except for Sunday shooting it (even in the middle of winter) now that's commitment!

New Years Eve!

Our Day started off great. In the morning I set Tyson down on the floor to get him changed. And before I had his clothes gathered up, I found him with his cowboy hat on riding our toy horse. He is so funny.

Not too later on in the morning I was working on my computer to look over and see him with this on his head, and he stayed there (knowing how funny he is!) while I laughed and grabbed the camera. He is such a ham.

I asked Dillan what he wanted to do for our New Years Eve party as a family, and he wanted to make party hats. He made all these (with a little help). We had a great evening watching movies, eating fun food, and of course falling asleep before midnight. But the kids don't know whether you are counting down at midnight or at 11:15. At least we let them stay up that long. Keith and I are just getting to old to feel it worth it to stay up.

Christmas Day!

We first got the stocking and gifts from Santa before opening any gifts and at first Josh was more interested in eating his chips from Santa than he was opening gifts!

Captain Jack Sparrow/Ninja

At least they are having fun fighting!

Dillan made Josh the white box with pictures on it for all his "special" things. Josh loved it.

Tyson loves putting on different hats, hence all the many hats he recieved.

Josh made Dillan a book called "The Dillan Book" where he talked about all the great things about Dillan and drew him pictures. Dillan reads it all the time. I love that they put so much thought into getting each other gifts this year.

Notice all the knit camo hats? Keith made those at work ( the kids he works with have to do them as restitution). I think he did a great job. He also made me a nice grey one that I love. What a well rounded man! He is the manliest of men, but he knits:)

Keith

Keith is the best daddy and husband their is. He is such a sweetheart and we love him so much. He is a great example to us all and always strives to be a leader and to better himself. We often find him either reading or listening to educational material. When he is not doing that you will find him working, building our business, or wrestling on the floor with the boys. He is not afraid of bringing out the kid in himself and you can just see our boys' eyes light up when he comes home. He is our hero. I am blessed to call him my 'man' and to be married to him. He shows me daily that he loves me and I hope to show in return my love to him!

Dillan

Wow! If I could sum Dillan up into one word that would be it, WOW! You never know what you are going to get from him. He is so smart and catches on to things so fast. He is constantly asking questions and wanting to learn more about things. He has recently learned how to read and is doing amazingly well. He can read pretty fast for a child his age and loves to go to the library and pick out new books to take home. I am homeschooling him and we have a lot of fun together. He does a really great job teaching Josh things he has learned, which I enjoy and Josh does too. He is a great big brother who is constantly including Josh and Tyson in his daily quests. He is always so willing to help me out with Tyson, and is such a special child. We are very blessed to have him in our family.

Josh

Here is Josh who has nicknamed himself "Dwa". He is so hilarious. He has that quiet and shy personality so when he comes out of his shell, which he has been doing a whole lot of lately, he lights up your life by making you constantly laugh and smile. He has a nack about him to do the same thing someone else would do but when he does it, he makes you laugh. He loves to have things in their place, and can get pretty worked up when they aren't. He knows his letters and most their sounds, can write his name, and now wants to learn how to read so he can be like Dillan. He is so caring and loves to give everyone hugs and kisses and is constantly loving on his youger brother Tyson. He too is such a blessing to our family, and we are so glad to have him.

Tyson

Just looking at this picture makes me laugh because you can see the mischeif behind those eyes! He is ALL BOY! He is the happiest when he is either wrestling, punching, or pushing you. He is our little tiger and we can't wait till he is older. We are going to have so much fun with him. Although he loves to constantly be going, he always makes sure to give us plenty of loves. He is now starting to want to talk more and loves to say the prayer with us helping him. He will repeat most of what you say, and is starting to learn his sounds. He keeps a close eye on his brothers and if they go outside without him, he runs and gets his shoes and brings them to me. Then when I send him out to them he keeps up with them really well and has a blast. He fits into this family so well, and again Heavenly Father shows us how much he loves us by sending this special child to us.
