3 Little Rock Stars

Kristen and her little buddies had a blast today going on a "girl's fun day"! The best part of the whole day was going to Libby Lu's and getting all "dolled" up like rock stars!

Dylan Loves To Kick The Ball

Way too early to get excited, but Dylan has certainly taken a liking to soccer and kicking around the ball. He gets so excited.

Dylan Turns ONE!!!

I can't believe how quickly this first year has gone by!! It seems only last week that Dylan was a newborn. And now he has turned one and is walking like crazy and growing up so fast. Keeping with tradition, we allowed Dylan to participate in the "cake demolition". Here are a few photos of the events.

Braden Grows Up!

One of the greatest gifts of being a father is watching your children grow up making great decisions. Today, on Father's Day, I witnessed the best gift ever as Braden celebrated a great decision in his life. He is no longer my little boy, but yet a young man who made the best decision he could in his life today. Congratulations Braden!!

It's Official -- Dylan is now Walking ALL THE TIME!!

Well, it didn't take long. Once Dylan got started with the walking it was only a few days until he was at it all the time.

Now our biggest challenge is keeping up with him!

Preparing to Walk -- Phase 5

Okay, this has been a "break-through" week in Dylan's pursuit of walking skills. He is now standing up on his own without the help of a couch, chair, or dad's legs. And even more exciting has been the "multiple step" escapades that were capped off with this very long trip today. We are certainly getting closer to the new frontier -- walking as a full time mode of transportation!

Daddy's Little Helper

It has become somewhat of a family tradition to help dad out with the car washing ritual, so it is now Dylan's turn.

Kristen's Newest Interest?

Well, I wouldn't go that far to say it is something she thinks about very often, but Kristen really likes the fact that Braden doesn't ride his skateboard anymore -- which means it is okay for her to tool around on it. She actually shows good balance and stays on it pretty well.
