Playing with Daddy

Justin is the best Dad in the whole world.  He spends all the time he can with our kids.  Our kids really love him back.  On most Saturdays you can find Justin out front with the kids riding bikes and skateboards.  I hope our kids realize how lucky they are to have such a great Dad!!

The Dickson Family takes over Knotts Berry Farm

Justin's parents got the whole family Knotts ticket for Christmas.  We had such a fun time.  The kids loved going on the roller-coasters.  Dustin was able to go on the most and had a blast.  Dane and Calie were not tall enough for some of the bigger ones, but loved camp snoopy.  Me on the other hand could not go on anything being 8 months prego and all. " Anything" might be a stretch, I did go on the train ride and the stage coach.  Even with my lack of rides, the whole family had a great time!!  Thanks Mom and Dad Dickson!!

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!

Summer sun in January

January was so warm this year.  Our family took at least five trips to the beach.  Justin and Dustin hit the waves and Dane, Calie and myself played in the sand.  We can never get enough beach days!!!

Dustin learns to tie his shoes

Dustin comes home from school today with a shoe tying kit that we get to keep for the one night.  If Dustin learns to tie his shoe I will sign a form that goes with the kit to all the children's homes and at least half of the parents have already signed off their kid.  So... no pressure.  After about 40 minutes of trying, Dustin gets it.  He can officially tie his own shoes.  I am so proud to be Dustin's Mom, he truly is an exceptionally smart kid.     

Dustin lost his first tooth!!

Dustin lost his first tooth today before school.  He has had a loose tooth for the last couple weeks and it finally came out!!!  Dustin is excited that the tooth fairy will pay him a visit tonight.  

Calie started pre-school

Today was Calie's first day of pre-school.  She has been wanting to go to pre-school for the last year.  Since I have been pregnant and not much fun, Mrs. Shirley let me start her early.  Calie loves pre-school soooo much and is super happy to have started.  I must say so am I.  She is only there Tuesdays and Thursdays for 3 hours, but the break is nice.  

Calie must of felt really big starting pre-school.  So big in fact she thought she needed her first self given hair  cut.  Lucky for her and me, she only cut one little section.  Justin would have died if she had cut more, he loves her beautiful hair.
