Our little man is approaching 3 YEARS OLD...
I can hardly believe it.
Even more, I can't believe how old seems these days. He is not a baby. He is hardly even a toddler anymore. He is a little boy - in every sense. We love every minute and can't get enough of his little personality and sense of humor.

I had to share some random pics of him as well as some FUNNY things he has said lately.
Enjoy...
He is still SUCH a picky eater! Whole milk with carnation instant breakfast unfortunately continue to be where the majority of his calories and nutrition come from. But, he is like his mom and LOVES peanut butter! He often eats it straight from the jar with a "cutter" (knife)
Such a dream going to bed! He has to have a few stories (which he has started "reading" himself - I have GOT to get it on video), prayers (he even says is sometimes), family hug, tucked in with one gooby by mom and one gooby by dad, elephants, 2 pounds from mom and dad, 2 fives from mom and dad, then it's lights off and "see you in the morning guys. love you"
just being silly
playing skee-ball at Pirate Island Pizza in St. George
shooting hoops with dad at Pirate Island
showing off his prizes
still loving those be-be's.no end date yet. I figure I don't know any adults who still have one, so as long as he isn't going to kindergarten with it I am fine!!!

* He recently had pink eye for the second time this year. The other night he was sad and when we asked him what was wrong he said through his tears,
"I have green eye". Teag and I were DYING!
* Teag went camping a couple weekends ago so Dallas and I had a night to ourselves. I asked him if he wanted to go on a date with mommy and he said (with much enthusiasm),
"I LOVE dates. I LOVE dates with my daddy!"
* When we are driving he is often heard from the back seat saying,
"come on peeps. outta my mommy's way!"
* One night we were playing in the front room and he decided he wanted to move it into his room so he yelled "party in my room! Dad, you bring the cake!"
* He is very inquisitive (hmmm...I wonder where he gets that from?!) so he is always asking us "what this all about?" whether it is a toy, food, or a random item in the store
* Dallas LOVES going to the workouts with the football team and tries to do everything along with them. Out of the blue he will tell us "I do my workout" and goes to the floor for push-ups, sit-ups, even bench press and burpees! He will also lay down on his stomach then yell "set, set, hike" and jump up and run across the room - just like the players do for their drills. Last weekend he was at my parents house and hopped on my mom's pilates reformer and started doing his "workout". Hilarious!
* Dal also loves Walmart. Now understand, Cedar is small. Walmart is what we've got here - at least it is a Super Walmart! I have always been a Target girl myself and probably could have counted on one hand the times I had been to Walmart before moving to Cedar! Dallas knows Walmart usually means a new car or toy so he is always asking me, ever-so-sweetly, "Mommy, we go to Walmart?" Then on the drive there and throughout our shopping trip he reminds me "Mommy, I LOVE Walmart!"
(side note-mine and Dal's date night a few weeks ago entailed Cafe Rio and Walmart)
* When Dallas is riding in Teag's car they listen to Teag's music, i.e. Classic Rock, Hard Rock and even some Metal. Dallas has become quite fond of it and yells "pump it up dad!"
* We have this Disneyland sing-a-long DVD that mister loves to watch. A little while back he asked if we could go to Disneyland. We told him yes, and a few minutes later he came into the kitchen and told us "I ready to go to Disneyland now". We had to explain to him we weren't going right then, just sometime, he put his head down and ran to his room crying. Sad :(
We are working on getting the little guy there soon!
* Going to get Dallas an ice-cream I told him I might get one too. His response, "No Mommy! You get salad!" Nothing like a 2-yr-old to keep me in line!
* You can always count on Dallas for a sporadic "ROCK ON!" (with the hand signal to go along)
