Trick-or-Treat!!

Posted by Rob Dog at 9:56 PM 12 comments

Happy Halloween!! I know everyone is likely sick of looking at all the Halloween posts but what can I say, I thought Hayden was a pretty funny Zebra! Hayden and I had a great day on Halloween spending the day with my sister Wendy and her kids! We hit the school Halloween parade, which was pretty funny! and then spent the rest of the day hanging out, went to lunch and then had a little Halloween party at Wendy's house! Hayden was only in his costume for about 10 min! It was a little on the warm side and Grandma Joanne said it was just TOO hot!  

                             Trick or treat!! (shh, don't tell his bucket is empty!)
                                                       Grandma and Hayden 
                                 Hayden had his first sucker! He really enjoyed it! 
     until next year!! I guess now on to Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities!! Wahoo!!

Thanks Chris and Wendy for such a good time and letting us crash your house! We had a great day! Love you guys!! 

Ballon + Dog= Good Tmes!

We went and did a quick trick-or-treat at Grandma Joanne's work and Hayden was lucky enough to score a ballon! He had a pretty good time with it, as did Otis! They play pretty well together! Otis will go and get one of his toys and bring it to Hayden and then they fight over them! Man's (or baby's) best friend I guess!!

                                    A little random shot

                                        GO UTES!!!

Thanks for the fun and the ballon grandma!! 

Pumpkin Patch!

So yesterday Amber and I went off on another great adventure! Wheeler farm and the pumpkin patch! After a day where pretty much everything that could happen to complicate things DID!! But we did finally get to Wheeler farm at around 4:00, they had tons of great places to take pictures! We had to be pretty fast because it was FREEZING!! Poor little guys nose and eyes were running like crazy! But, all in all he was a pretty good sport! We had such a fun time with Amber and SO appreciate her using her talent to help me out!! We love our Auntie Ambs!! 

So here is a few of the pictures! Sorry to be a lame mom and post so many pictures of my kid but lets be honest, this is pretty much all I have going on! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBS!!

I just wanted to give a little shout out to my best friend for her birthday!! Ambs we have been friends for like 15 years now!! We have been through so much! You have been there for me through every important event of my life! I just wanted you to know how much our friendship means to me, you have always been there for me! Whether it was living with me in a heating room, doing a million drive by's, loosing a friend, coming with me to a million family parties, or picking me up all the time and going with me to everything! I have always been able to count on you! Any way not to get too cheesy, cause you know how I am about feelings! :) I just wanted you to know how great you are and how lucky I feel to have you apart of my life! You are more than a friend, you are a sister! Here's to 15 more years!! LOVE!!  Happy Birthday!

5 Months!

Posted by Rob Dog at 2:46 PM 10 comments

Well our little stink pot is officially 5 months old! He is so funny! He is constantly laughing and smiling at everything! He especially thinks our dog is funny and has started to like to play with otis, and when I say play I mean pull his hair and kick at him! Hayden started on solids about a month ago and has never looked back! This boy likes his food! (of course he does he is a Dahl boy!) He is pounding it in! and it shows! He is getting so chubby and we are loving it! people come up to me in the gorcery store all the time and tell me how big he is! (which by the way is kind of annoying! who does that, why would you walk up to a perfect stranger and say your baby is so cute and so big and chubby! I think its weird! good thing I am not sensitive about it, on the bright side maybe people are too distracted by his cute chubby cheeks to notice the homangioma (I don't know how to spell that!!)he he he!) This last week Hayden has started sitting up on his own! which is nice but also kind of a problem because now he always wants to sit, including when I want him to lay down! :) It's so crazy how fast these little guys grow, I swear it was only a few weeks ago he could not even grab a toy and now he is throwing them at me! He has also started having tantrums which is nice! If he drops something he really wants or someone takes something from him he literally turns bright red and screams! Good times, and I am sure they will just get better! :) Well Thanks to Amber I finally have some good pictures of Hayden! I have been too cheap or too lazy, which ever the case may be, to take him to get his picture taken professionally so Amber did it for me. They turned out great and it only took like ten min. plus I got to spend the whole day with Ambs--two birds with one stone!! Any way sorry this post is all about the little guy, I guess thats mostly been what I have been up to though! Thanks so much Ambs! you have no idea how much I appreciate all you do for me! you're the best! I am so glad we got to spend some time with ya before you went back to school!    Here are a few of the pictures Amber took on Friday! (This was after a full day of shopping and no nap for any of us!He pretty much fell apart about ten min. after this as I was driving home!  So it could have been worse!!)
