My Mom's Birthday



 We had a great visit at my mom and dad's house over Labor Day weekend.
It just so happened to be my mom's birthday. 
I made her a cake and we had a big cook out. 
My pictures really stink and I wish I paid more attention to things, but this is what I have.

Four Years Down!

For our anniversary we went to the Cheesecake Factory 
We brought Dalton on our date because we hadn't had much family time.
Dalton behaved so well! It was a great present to us.


Jed, I love you more and more every day.
Thanks for being my sweetie pie!

From Nursery to Big Boy Room

 Dalton's room is the only room that I have called complete and then Dalton grew up! 
-sigh-
-double sigh-
I don't ever want to forget Dalton's sweet nursery.
When we found out Dalton was a boy I knew Jed would love planes in the nursery. 

















 ...and now our little pilot loves everything "horsey" and cowboy.
Dalton's room was on a major budget, and there is still more that needs to be done 
so we'll call this The Cowboy phase 1
 This quilt was made by Jed's aunt and was given to us as a wedding gift. I could never use it as a picnic quilt. I thought it went well with the cowboy theme. The sheets were brand new in the package. I bought them at the nickel auction for around $3.50.  

 Dalton is like all little boys; he wants to be just like his daddy.
We had to take the door off the hinges to bring in his bed.



 This is the same dresser that was in his nursery. I just weathered it. I like it much better like this.
 The little cowboy on the dresser caused quite a bit of stress for Dalton.
He woke up in the middle of the night and was screaming and was so sad. He kept talking about a monster. I had to get it down and let him play with it so that he could see it wasn't a monster. 

 This was my great grandma's bed. It was in my parents' house when their house burnt down. Luckily the bedroom door was shut and it really only had a lot of smoke damage. 
A lot of sweat went into this bed, but I am so happy that 
the boy that was named after her gets to have her bed.

 "No Cowgirls Allowed"

 Phase 2 will consist of a few things.
 We are using the same curtains but replacing the ribbons with rope.
The recliner will go into the new nursery (when or if we get that chance)
The changing table will be moved when Dalton decides to be potty trained. 
We will get a toy organizer to hold all of Dalton's toys.

A Zoo Trip with "the Boys"

 Some of Dalton's favorite people in the entire world is "the Boys". He was so excited when we told him that we were going to the zoo AND "the Boys" were coming too.

 We bypassed the petting zoo the first time we went to the zoo. I don't know why. Dalton loves horses and he just watched them and talked to them. He could have stayed there all day. 

 These boys melt my heart. They are so good to Dalton and just fit right in with them.

 The Polar Bear slide was fun too!
 "The Boys"
 "The Boys" plus my boy!
 My boy!
 We love the lions!
Dalton rode the carousel while the others played on the big play ground. 
We had a great time!
