Baby Reid, WE LOVE YOU!

Officially his first selfie!

Dylan was so happy to meet Reid. He was smitten.

Oh Baby Reid, The LONG Wait

I better preface this post with the statement that while we waited all day long for Baby Reid to arrive, my Sister was working hard upstairs to get the little guy out.  So I am in no way complaining!

A few photos from our wait ... and finally our reward!

FINALLY, my Mom appeared with the GREAT NEWS and a picture of Reid.
(although I must note that he did not have a name until the next day)

Congratulating the Dad!

Moving It and Grooving It!

 Ellison was excited to raise money for a new media center and musical instruments for Dommerich Elementary.  She directed herself in a short video to send to family and friends.  We then shared a booth with our friends at Farmers Market and sold water.  Her brother was an extremely patient participant in both ventures!

Dylan's World

This blog began as "Ellison's World" and for a long time I was not sure if Dylan would have the same type of large personality as his older sister. I was basically shamed into changing the name of the blog at them time.

Well low and behold, both of my children have larger then life personalities.  Both in their own respective ways, of course.  And lucky for me, neither overshadow the other.

A few photos of Dylan...

The Avid Coffee Drinker

Always having fun!

Ladies Man.

His Sister Approves!

Always smiling!

  Dylan starred in Chapel as Joseph.  He was funny to watch... especially if you know him. The commentary throughout the video is Olivia (on my lap).

Bridging Over

 Ellison and her sweet friends, Zoe and Mora, joined a larger troop this year to bridge from Daisies to Brownies.  So proud of these three!

 The World Awaits Baby Layden.  

They love me I swear

This picture sums up my life.  I am on a fast teacup.  I try to slow down, enjoy the moments, and make sure my kids realize how important they are to me and how completely loved they are.

Because I love them so much... you would think that they would not find it so absolutely hilarious to spin the teacup to the point that their mother felt sick for hours and could barely walk.

I blame one person, their father. He laughed right along with them!

The rest of the pictures were actually taken before the teacup ride... when I could stand...

Mother of the year award...

did not go to me this weekend.  Sweet boy went on Space Mountain and came out with his thumb in his mouth.  I spent the next hour holding and loving on my poor traumatized child.
