Happy Birthday!!

Someone had a great weekend, it is 9:30 on Monday and he is still sleeping!!!
Thank you everyone for all the gifts! and for making my little one feel so loved. True friends are priceless!

We sold our house!!

Closing date is June 29th - Friends save boxes :-)

We are pretty excited considering it officially was listed as a "no show" until June 8th. The first person that saw it is the one that placed the offer. We are very excited to say the least.

We are actually putting a contract on another house tomorrow, we will give more details once our offer is accepted.

Happy Birthday!

So things are in full swing for our little one's birthday on Saturday. What a wonderful year it has been for us. He melts my heart more everyday. He is the sweetest, smartest, most adorable little boy you have ever met.

FACEBOOK & SLACKING ON BLOGGING

Hi, My name is T and I am addicted to Facebook which is why the postings have been so few and far between.

Here is the lasted 411 on the Daltons.

1) G turns 1 in 16 days, party invitations have been mailed.
2) We are heading to Aunt T's for Memorial Day where J gets to fish and ride the 4-wheelers and I get to go to the outlets with my mom, sister and adorable nieces.
3) G is going to baptized on June 7th - Godparents have been choosen :-) and Dandy and GranDawn are coming in for the special day.
4) The house is going on the market officially June 3rd, if not a little before hand. Very excited about this, now to just decide what area we want to live in.

6) G got tubes last week and is doing great now, after running a fever for 4 days solid which was not tubes related.

Being a mom

So this is my first official Mother's Day and wow what a great one it has been, to say the least. Josh went out of his way to make today special.

This is my first year to be a mom, this time last year I had actually just came home from being in the hospital for 5 days due to pre-term labor. I remember being so scared, but thankfully everything worked out and my little one decided to wait to come.

I have learned more this year than I think I have any "single" year of my life, here are some of them.

1. Who knew I could survive on a couple hours sleep.
2. Being woke up in the middle of the night isn't so bad when they lay in your arms and say - Momma, momma, momma
3. A little boy can melt my heart in two seconds flat.
4. That the word momma is the best word in the world when it said by your little one.
5. I have so many of my mom's traits than I can even list.
6. That my mom was right, I didn't understand until I had children of my own.
7. That being a mom is truly the best thing in the world.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies, mommies to be, & mommies trying to bees!

and to my Mom,

Thanks for being such a great Mom!!

This is my favorite picture, he actaully has his arm around me.

Video Update

So here are a few videos for everyone to enjoy. In our first video, we see the standard reaction to Dad getting home. Dad loves this.

In our second video, we see a quick Easter kiss between Dada and Mama. The great part about this video is the look he gives when it happens. I've watched this over and over and cracked up. I think he's saying something to the effect of, "Oh no... they're kissing behind me aren't they?"

Next we have just a very cute moment.

And lastly... we have Gideon's first steps caught on video! Note that the actual first steps came about a week ago, but we hadn't caught it on video until now. Enjoy!

Summer is almost here!

I love Spring, Summer and Fall, but hate Winter. I actually planned G's due date around the fact that I didn't want to have a baby in the winter. I hate layers and the very thought of having to bundle a baby up all the time is something I would dread. I think I have passed this trait on to G. We so have an outside baby, most people use their tv as their babysitter, we use our french doors, if he can see outside he is one happy baby.

We received several gift cards for shower gifts and since we where blessed to get almost everything we registered and more I decided to wait to use them till recently. We went Monday and used the one from Uncle John to get him a wagon, as you can see in the picture, he loves it. Yesterday we had to go for two walks, which was great, I get my excersice in and he gets to yak at all the neighbors that are outside.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM & MAMA

Today is my mom's birthday!! I can honestly say I have the best mom in the world. She has always been there for me and is always just a phone call away. Thank you mom for being a great mom and and even greater Mama!!

Love you,
J, T & G

HAPPY 10 MONTHS!!

She is missed....

Two years ago today a very dear person passed away.
I was going to blog, but can't really find the words today.

Her gravestone says it all " You are in our hearts and souls"
