Sunday Best

The kids were all matching today so I thought it would be a good day to get pictures.  We were of course running behind so I couldn't get pictures before Stake Conference so I decided I would get some after church.  The only problem was Dyer fell asleep and I wasn't about to wake him up to get pictures.  It's too bad because it would have been nice to get a picture of all three of them together.  

How cute is this?  

Too bad Dyer was sleeping.  If he would have been awake and smiling this picture would have been a gem.  Maybe some day!

Blair

Easton

I just love these two!

When Dyer finally woke up I decided to snap a few pictures of him too.  He was not cooperating so his pictures aren't that great.  I also tried to convince Blair to get back in her dress so I could get pics of all three of them but she didn't want to.  I wasn't going to force her since Dyer was already being difficult and there was no way I would have gotten a decent picture if Blair was forced into it.

Dyer

Can you believe these were the best I got?  He just wanted to crawl around and explore his surroundings and was not very happy when I kept sitting him down where I wanted him.  I guess you can't win them all.

I updated a few posts today so check them all out...

Dyer's first time "swimming"

So he hasn't been in a pool yet but it was his first time in a hot tub.  Even though his head went under a couple times he still loved it!  But who wouldn't when it was basically a huge bath tub!  Dyer loves bath time!  All Dyer wanted to do the whole time was try and drink the water hence the fact that his head went under a couple times.  

 Floating with two rings because neither one by themselves would work very well.

Trying out the shoe!  This one was worse because he couldn't get to the water like he wanted and ended up tipping it too far and capsizing.  Silly boy!

Video of Dyer swimming:

Because he capsized Valerie ended up getting into the water with him.  This is the second time where she has gotten into the water for my kids with her clothes on.  She probably shouldn't have been in the water since she just got surgery on her head the day before and probably wasn't supposed to get her bandage wet.  What she wouldn't do for my kids!

Earlier this same day I almost thought that Dyer might need stitches.  I had all the kids in the bath tub together.  Dyer kept standing up and Blair kept trying to get him to sit down.  I turned my back for a second to grab a near by towel so I could get Dyer out and the next thing I know Dyer's face down in the water.  I grab him and put him in the towel and I realize his eye is bleeding.  I have no idea what happened but I'm assuming Blair pulled Dyer down and he must have cut his eye (outside corner near his eye) on something on his way down.  The cut didn't look too bad and it wasn't bleeding a whole lot but since it was next to his eye I was a little worried and wanted to get it checked out.  I called Valerie to come over and watch Easton and Blair.  Nathan was working that weekend so I asked him to come and look at it and tell me if he thought it was something I should get checked out.  Since the cut wasn't very deep and wasn't all the way to the eye lid and his eye looked fine, Nathan said they probably wouldn't do anything.  Thank goodness for a doctor in the family so I didn't have to waste my time in the ER waiting room.

Random Stuff

Okay a lot of really random stuff that don't go together at all...

The other day I saw a random turkey on my neighbors roof!  I sent the picture to Nathan and asked if he wanted turkey for dinner.  Lucky for that Turkey it took off right after I snapped some pictures.

For some reason Blair really won't take naps, but recently she has been falling asleep at random times (most of the time really late in the afternoon/early evening).  In this picture she fell asleep while coloring next to me in the computer room.  Two weeks ago she left the dinner table while everyone was eating and the next thing we know she is fast asleep on the couch.  Yesterday she fell asleep in Easton's bed while I was making dinner.

Video of Easton singing:

Recently Easton has really gotten into learning and singing songs he hears on the radio or songs we play around the house.  Every song he hears though is his new favorite song!  This was his favorite this particular day.

Video of Dyer crawling up the stairs:

Dyer can now crawl up the stairs.  We are still working on going down the stairs correctly.  He likes to go down a stair and then sit which doesn't work very well because more times than not he sits too close to the edge and falls back.

Easton wanted to take a picture of me and Dyer.  He's definitely a lot better taking pictures than he is taking videos.  That is why I ended up videoing and Easton was shadowing Dyer in the last video.

Here's the other video's from our other camera of the crazy weather we had:

This is how we get Dexter's energy out at night.

Bounce House Fun

I was going to take the kids to Children's Wonderland after Easton's soccer practice since the weather has been really nice but for some reason the weather that day decided to be cold and windy with a little bit of rain so instead I took them to a bounce house place.  Valerie joined us since she didn't have preschool that day.

Video of Easton and Blair going down the slide with Valerie:

Once Dyer woke up from his nap Valerie had to have him join in on the fun.

I have some other videos but blogger for some reason won't let me upload them.  Maybe if I think of it later I will try and upload them.
