Concerts, Tractor Rides, Birthdays, and More!!!

Lots of things going on this past week!!!  Kaylee had her spring concert at school last night and she even had a speaking part.  She told the name of the song they were singing and what it was about.  She did a great job getting up in front of everyone!! It was fun watching her and her classmates having so much fun singing and doing the actions to the songs.

Dylan started wearing big boy underwear this week!!!!  He still wears a pull-up when sleeping, but when he's awake he's in underwear.  He's also discovered the great outdoors is a great bathroom too!  We're so excited that he seems to be getting the hang of it and has been doing so well.  Sticker charts seem to be working pretty well and once his chart is full, the big prize is a trip to Des Moines to see Sesame Street!  That's incentive enough for Dylan.

Ryan got to go on his first tractor ride and slept through most of it!!!  Dylan kept trying to "drive" the tractor and had a hard time understanding why Daddy wasn't touching the steering wheel (he's using another farmer's tractor that has auto steer!).  Kaylee hasn't gotten to go for a ride yet since she's been either at school, church, or tumbling when Grant has been in the field. But she did get to go sit in the tractor with Daddy and Dylan and she liked that.

Grant's birthday was Wednesday and the kids helped make and decorate a cake for him.  They had fun decorating the cake and singing "Happy Birthday".  Dylan's birthday is just a couple of weeks away so he was having fun blowing out the candles and pretending it was his birthday.

And the news with Ryan this week is that he slept through the night for the first time Wednesday night!!!  He went to sleep at 11:00pm and slept until 5:30 the next morning!  We were both shocked when we woke up and realized what time it was!!!  Most likely he's not ready to keep doing this, considering he usually gets up at least once if not twice a night, but it sure was nice to get some extra sleep!

Dylan loved helping Daddy open his presents.

We might have another thumb sucker at our house.  Ryan has been sucking on his hands a lot lately and keeps trying to get his fingers in his mouth.  We've been trying to get Dylan to break the habit and to just do it at nap time or bed time, but as you can tell that doesn't always work!

Ryan seems to like his crib.

After making Grant's cake, Dylan liked licking the batter.  He's also wearing the ears to Kaylee's cat costume.  For some reason that seems to be one of his favorite things to dress up!  Might have something to do with us going to the play Alice in Wonderland.  Ever since then he's been saying they're bunny ears.

All smiles wearing his ISU outfit from Grandma Gina and Pa Dennis.

Taking a nap in our room.  He looks pretty comfy!
