Happy 2nd Birthday, Dallas!

I made Dallas' cake again this year...incase you can't tell it's Thomas the Tank

Doug took the day off work yesterday for Dallas' birthday. We took him to the Children's Museum in Iowa City. We had a wonderful time...here are a "few" pictures from our day out.

Got to stock up on Texas Toast

Watching the staff feed the fish

Making pizza for lunch

Dallas' favorite spot of the day...the Thomas play area

Mom trying to build some tracks

The Golf Ball Roller Coaster

Reba had to go down a slide, too.

The "Take Flight" area

Dallas and Dad making the trek up to the big slide

That was fun!

Another slide

Going down the big slide with Mom

Trying to start the plane

Time out to see what Reba was up to

The flight simulator activity

Grandma and Grandpa Robertson, Aunt Lisa, and GG made it yesterday afternoon to help celebrate. I appologize for not having more pictures of Dallas opening gifts...I did more videos this year.

Playing with his new Thomas train set

Dallas didn't get his nap yesterday afternoon...therefore, he crashed right before dinner

This was after he woke up from his "nap"

Having cake and ice cream...sugar will always bring out a smile!

In this video, we tell Dallas to blow out his candles...he is not shaking his head no, he is blowing. He then says "choo, choo"...Enjoy!

Until next time...

1 year, 11 months, 3 weeks, and 6 days

One last shot of my 1 year old...
Until next time...

Weekend Recap

I'm going to keep these short...I am typing with one hand because I have a sleeping baby in my other arm. :)

Dallas figured out how to take his shirt off...
We got Dallas a potty chair a few weeks ago...he likes to sit on it, but has yet to use it. That's alright; we know he is young and it takes time.

Reba has started to use the jump swing...

She really likes the lights and music

Here's Dallas using the jump swing for the first time (same age as Reba...but not the same size!)

Doug made it home from Canada just fine Friday evening. Dallas was super excited to see his daddy when he woke up Saturday morning.

Until next time...

All Aboard!

Ever have one of those days when you feel like you always have the camera in your hands because the kiddos are being so darn cute...and then go a few days (or week) and not take a single picture? Today is one of those "gotta capture that" days. As for the top picture, Dallas loves to line up his tractors, trucks, cars, wagons, etc. This morning, he added Edward to the front!

Dallas thought Reba needed to have a few toys to play with while doing some tummy time (after my post earlier about Reba...I'm making a more conscience effort to put her on her tummy).
Later in the day, Dallas brought this music player down from upstairs (it is one of those that plays music, lights up, and blows bubbles and you can hang on the crib/playpen). Reba loved looking at it.
You can never have too many friends helping you brush your teeth (again, he has to put them all in a line!)
And a video...I think this is one of the first times Dallas has actually wanted to play with Reba.

Hip2Save.com

I have been clipping coupons for a short while, and I found this awesome BLOG giving you tons of hot deals at various places (thanks Jen!). I am addicted, and I just discovered it yesterday. Before, I was only getting coupons from coupon.com because we don't get a "big city" newspaper that carries inserts. This has opened the door (and internet webpages) to many more places to gather coupons and tips on how to really get the most out of them. I thought I would pass it along to all the other blog mom's or just anyone looking to score an amazing deal.

Hope it helps...you can also find Hip2Save by clicking the button to the right.

Until next time...

p.s. if you ever want to get rid of coupons that you receive in your newspaper(s), I'd be glad to take them off your hands!
