Dillon and the Haircut

Most of you know that my kids and I pass out fairly easy. Well, here is just how easy it is for Dillon to hit the floor..... Every time Dustin cuts the kids hair, he either passes out or almost does and then Dustin has to catch him. Today was no exception, it was way past due for Dillon to have a haircut so Dustin decided to attempt it. Sure enough, Dillon started complaining that he was dizzy, and that he couldn't see, and that his stomach hurt, and yadda-yadda, and then his face and lips turned white as a ghost, and Dustin had to catch him and lay him on the floor in the hallway. He then got him a chair and had him put his feet on the chair. EVERYTIME! This happens every single time he gets his haircut.... What the heck? We always make sure that he has eaten and that he drinks water, but it still happens. This time, I was actually laughing my head off, because it was just, well, comical.

This is the amount of hair that was actually cut BEFORE he passed out-



White as a Ghost!

Feet UP!

I am reminded of a video clip that has often been used to describe our family..... Take a look & Enjoy a laugh on us! :)

Student of the Month

Dillon and Mrs. Roqueni (the principal)

Dillon was Student of the Month (Citizenship) for the month of February. I found out that the citizenship award is voted on by peers. What a neat honor. Dillon is always so nice and kind to everyone, it doesn't surprise me that he was nominated. Samantha and I were able to attend the assembly where all of the students of the month for the different grades were honored. Each student of the month receives a certificate presented by the principal, an invitation to attend "Pizza On The Stage" with the principal, and they get to have their picture posted on the wall for the whole month. Great Job Dillon!

Welcome Mr. President

Josh, Halston, Dillon

On Tuesday, Dillon had to give a report Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States. Mr. Earley set up a pulpit in the multi-purpose room, and invited all of the parents to attend. The kids made president bags, and were asked to bring 5 things to put in them that were symbolic of their president. They stood at the pulpit and told some historical and personal facts about the president, along with explaining their 5 items. They ended their reports by reciting 2 or 3 quotes that they had memorized. Dillon did an awesome job and got 30 points out of 30. I think it is so cool that Mr. Earley is teaching the kids public speaking skills so early on, it will be so helpful to them.

Build A Bear

Going back a little... the week before last on Feb. 12, the girls had the chance to go to Build A Bear for little Kenna's birthday party. Kenna is my friend Taren's little girl. Ashlynn and Samantha absolutely had a blast. I had never taken them there before, and I must say, I was really impressed. What a fun activity for the kids, it was Great! Thanks for inviting us Taren!

Our 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Friday was mine and Dustin's 10 year anniversary, and as I said in the previous post, the day started out perfectly. Little did I know that it would only get better from there. I usually can't say that I have had a perfect day, but this day actually was.... I can't think of one thing that wasn't great. When I got home from hiking, Dustin and I were talking and deciding where we wanted to go out to eat. Tara and Jason had offered to watch the kids for us. We ended up deciding on King's Fish House. Dustin looked up the menu online and told me to look at it and decide what I wanted to eat, so that we wouldn't have to decide when we got there. I thought it was a little weird, but I did it anyways. When I was done looking, I got up to go to the bedroom and there was a dozen roses in the middle of the living room along with 3 gifts that he had wrapped in inside out Christmas wrapping paper. :) The first one he had me open was a new griddle, Ashlynn had dropped mine on the kitchen floor a couple of months ago and broke all the legs off of it. The next one I opened was a new Crock Pot, mine has had a short in it for I don't know how long, and was such a pain to use. Those were both awesome gifts, but the last one took the cake for sure! It was a new camera... the one that I had been wanting forever, a Canon Rebel! I seriously could not believe my eyes, all I wanted to do was cry because I was so overwhelmed with everything he had done. It was so nice to go to dinner just the two of us, too. Thanks so much Tara and Jason for watching the kids.

When I think of our 10 years together, I honestly cannot believe how fast it has gone. We have been through a lot together, many ups and downs, and I believe we have become stronger and closer because of this. Dustin is a wonderful man.... he works so hard to provide for our family. I appreciate everything he does on a daily basis for me and the kids. Here's to another 10 years, Babe, I love you!
