Movies and Doggies

Dillon had an awesome Saturday. This morning, he was Michelle's date to a movie. Michelle was also gracious enough to keep Dillon while his mom was at the doctor. While Dillon was at Michelle's house, he met Jake's new dog, Emme. I think he liked her.

Comparisons

This is Dillon wearing the same Easter suit as Michael in April 2010.


Michael sporting it this year.  I think they look similar, but they are definitely different in their own special ways. :-)

Michael started saying thank you last night.  My dad handed him a Swiffer at their house (the boy loves cleaning products), and he said "da du".  He also said it to me a few times this morning.  He's my sweet mess pot.

Dillon is going to the zoo with Babba tomorrow.  He's so excited!

Easter and Since

Michael got a haircut by Michelle and Nana. 

 Meanwhile, Dillon got a driving lesson from Babba.

 Easter morning, Dillon was excited to find all his eggs and books for him and Michael.

 Michael just wanted breakfast.

At church, Dillon helped Babba with sound. 

 Michael looked pretty sharp in his suit.

 That afternoon, he fell asleep during snack, but not for very long.

 Thanks to a friend with a membership, Daddy and the boys spent an afternoon at the zoo.

 Michael enjoyed it from the comfort of the stroller.

 Dillon wanted to see the big cats from the moment we got there. It took a while to get there, though. He enjoyed watching the tiger pace around, and it even roared for us.

 Monkey meets monkey.

 Chillin'

 Dillon got to be eye to eye with a penguin.

Then, he was a penguin. 

 That weekend, we went to Family Camp at Camp Tanako.

 In the cabin, the boys made box fortresses while Michael just played with the markers.

Simon says, "Run around!"

Dog Days of Spring

Our next-door-neighbor has a dog. Michael doesn't like dogs.

Today when we went outside to play, the dog was in the yard. This dog likes to bark at people he can see. Doesn't matter who you are, he'll bark at you.

This was Michael's lookout point to see the dog.

He got all the way to here, about 25 feet away from the dog.

Then, the dog started barking, so he ran.

He then watched the dog from behind my shoulder.

Spring Break week

Dillon started out the week with a quick solo after church with Mr. Bob.

It rained a bit Tuesday and Wednesday. So, Wednesday, we braved the rain and went to the Museum of Discovery.

Dillon played with dinosaurs a bit.

Then, he was Captain Dillon the pirate.

Michael joined him on the ship for a bit.

Dillon was also a knight for a bit.

Michael found a toy vacuum cleaner, and cleaned the floor a while. He even cleaned the pit where the dinosaurs were.

Hi, Mama!

Dillon the shopkeeper.

Dillon made some electricity, too.

Thursday, we went to Blanchard Springs Caverns.

It's better in person.

It's also hard to take pictures in near pitch-black

Yay, springtime!

Happy boys.

Fun day

This morning, Mama and the boys went to Pine Bluff to go to a friend's birthday party.

After they got back, Daddy joined them and we went to the park for a picnic supper. Dillon said he wasn't hungry, so Michael ate his entire 4-inch turkey sub.

After eating, the boys got to play a while. Dillon loved climbing up the “rocks” and going down the slide.

When he got to the bottom, he would jump down.

Michael had fun walking around and swinging.

Happy boy.

Dentist and Such

Mama got to stay & help out at Dillon's school yesterday. She was supposed to meet with Dillon's teacher, but she was out. So, Mama stayed a bit to help out in the classroom.

Today, Dillon went to the dentist & was so good. He let the hygienist clean his teeth with no fuss. Thus, he got to pick out a toy.
