Christmas 2010

Dylan had his first christmas this year... I think we were more excited than him but he still had a great time! Ryan's parent's and grandma were able to come up from California and spend a week with us during christmas. It was nice having them here to celebrate with us! We also had a lot of my family with us after christmas. Gordon, Carrie, and Geoffrey from Vermont came out... which was so much fun cause we never get to see them! My parents arrived the day after christmas and were able to stay for a few days. Ian, Susan and family came the Monday after christmas and stayed for a week and Julia moved out here! It was a lot of fun and I couldn't have asked for a better first christmas for Dylan. Here are some pictures of the week!

Dylan putting up his stocking on Christmas Eve... he kept trying to eat the bear!

Christmas morning getting ready to open his first present... he got the hang out of after awhile.

(he isn't always bug eyed in real life... I seem to capture it in every picture though!)

We went to Temple Square to see the lights... it was FREEZING and CROWDED but it was a lot of fun to walk around. He was all bundled up in his bear suit and was probably warmer than all of us!

We also went to Tucanos for lunch with the whole family... I think there were around 30 of us? It was a big party and we had a lot of fun.

This is with Tahra's little baby James (my great-nephew)... he wasn't too sure about Dylan most of the time... but I LOVE this picture of him scratching his nose! I think it is sooo funny.

Dylan on New Years Eve and Daddy's birthday! We had my family that was still in town over for a potato bar lunch.. it was super yummy! Then we went to Mike and Penny's house for a New Years Eve party. Dylan didn't stay up till Midnight but we had fun hanging out while he was sleeping!

Dylan and Daddy on his birthday... I just love my boys so much! This has been a great year so far and I am looking forward to the rest of 2011!

Santa came to town

The boy of MANY costumes. He had 3 halloween costumes and then a santa suit for the holidays. I just can't get enough of this little guy!

Fall

We went to The Big Red Barn in Santaquin Utah... I have never been there before and it is now going to be a fall tradition. We invited Mike, Penny, Izzy, Guillaume and Dana with us and had a great time. After they came over for some nice Beef Stew which hit the spot!

We started off with a hay ride that brought us to the pumpkin patch. We found the perfect spot and took pictures. Then they had a "corn maze" which was actually made out of wood boxes but still entertaining enough. It was fun to just hang out and visit with our friends and take pictures.

6 months old...

I can't believe it has been 5 months since I posted!! Dylan just turned 6 months yesterday... here are some pictures of him. I can't believe how much he has changed already in the few short months he has been alive!!

His "WOW" face! He makes the cutest faces EVER

We went to California around Memorial Day. This was Dylans first road trip. Some of the fun things that we did was go to the Beach, visit friends, and go to the Zoo. He loved staying at Grandpa and Grandma's house!

Here he is a little over 2 months at the San Diego Zoo.

With the Chambers family... Ryan's Dad, Mom and Grandma

We also were able to make it back east. We stopped in Washington DC and visited family and friends. Dylan was able to see his future wife Abi! haha... I kid I kid... (not really)

We hung out in Washington, DC and Virginia with Jared, Stef, Julia and Elizabeth. We also saw my friends Emily and Ryan from high school.

Here he is sitting with Papa on his blessing day on July 4th 2010. He was so cute in his little white outfit and Ryan gave him such a great blessing! He is 3 months old in this picture.

A family picture at Sandy Point Beach in Portsmouth RI. He didn't NOT like the water... mostly indifferent. Hopefully when we go next time he will LOVE the water.

Dylan at 4 months old at Lake Powell.

We also got to go to Lake Powell... it was super fun and not too hot this year. He was SUCH a good baby... but if you know him he always is a good baby. I am a very lucky Mama.

Dylan around 4 1/2 months old. What a smiley happy boy!

5 months old... look how light his hair is now! All the dark hair is gone!!!

Daddy's boy... this is his clueless face. 5 1/2 months

The Chambers... Dylan is such a sweet boy and I love having him in our life. We left him for the first time this weekend and I missed him the whole time. Of course, he didn't even realize we were gone and had a blast with Auntie Angie and Uncle Matt.
