Tommy
*He threw up 4 times on the 4th and was ok in the morning
*He has gone back to sleeping in his PJ’s for naptime
*”I’m going to be a super hero when I grown up, Captain America!”
*”This is my polar bear. You can pet him and he doesn’t poop.”
*”I wish I had a cat like her.” Me: I’d have to clean up after it. “Well, I’ll ask Mr. Kevin to clean up the poop!”
*Tommy’s prayer=”Thank you for us to have the good cereal.” hahaha, I think it was Cinnamon Toast Crunch…a special occasion

*measured him- 41'”with Cars shoes….ok to go on the Disneyland rides!
*His dreams are very vivid and very real to him….told me about running from a volcano
*”I’m kind of old and sick, that’s why I’m coughin so much.”
*Matt: Will you fold this? T: Well, I’m kind of tired of folding. Me: But you’re a great folder! T:No, I’m a really bad folder.
*I asked Tommy if he wanted to do books on the ipad. He said, “Umh…not today. Maybe Tuesday.”   (random!)

Also, on the 29th we got our new mini vanSmile The truck was going to need MAJOR repairs to where Matt didn’t feel comfortable driving it on the freeway anymore. So we decided to look into another car….debating between SUV’s and vans….the gas mileage is better and the cargo space in vans blows Suv’s out of the water (if you’re using the third row) and I love love love, the automatic doors! Mini-van wins! We did get the truck sold to a friend a few months later, that didn’t need it for a main vehicle. We found the van we liked online, since buying new, and they were much cheaper in the Dallas area. So Matt picked it up  in McKinney while in Fort Worth for work. We picked the Honda Odyssey, liking that we can move all the back seats in any way or take them all out if needed. I really liked the model of the newest vans out…to me it doesn’t look AS MUCH AS a mini van….Matt completely disagrees, but still likes it!  Now our car trips will be much more bearable, with me being able to sit next to the kiddos to entertain and help, rather than turning around from the front seat and REALLY getting carsick.

Count Down to Disney and Dylan’s Pirate Birthday!

Ever since we found out Mimi was taking us to Disneyland for Thanksgiving we have been so excited. I saw this countdown on Pinterest and had to make it. We have also been looking up youtube videos of the new Cars Land!

We went down to Fort Worth for Dylan’s 3rd birthday-Pirate themed. It was awesome and Shilo did a great job putting it all together. The boys had a blast! We gave Dylan a paint can of cars and we’ve heard it’s been one of his favorite things…yes!

The night before-books on the ipad with Mimi
