Everyone had a blast!! The kiddos were amazingly good. We all decided we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Enjoy the pics and the little video clip.

Because papa Doug was missing his D...

So I have been told that it has been awhile. Sorry....it's been really busy here. All fun of course:)

Dylan and Hannah Barron

Can you see him?

This smile cracks me up...

Hmmm...I wonder what else I am going to get for Christmas today???

Do you like it????

2008-09-04T09:35:00.001-07:00

I finally changed to layout to my blog. I have been wanting to do it for awhile and spent countless hours trying to figure out how to download the FREE funky ones that I am able to see on everyone else's blogs, but no luck. So I have to go with the "plain jane" ones. Oh well. At first I thought that I stick with the masculine colors, but then I thought "this blog shouldn't just be about Dylan". So this is me...PINK. I love pink!

Life has been pretty busy these days. I am back in school. For as much as I complain about school, I have to say I really do enjoy it. Back when I was 18 and trying to figure out what to do with my life, I had decided that I didn't want to go to school, I just wanted to work at Carlson Craft until I could figure out what I wanted to do. But dad had said if I didn't go to school then I was completely on my own!!! So technical college was the route I took. The only thing I regret about not going to a four year right away, is that I didn't get to live the "dorm" life and meet tons of interesting people. I was a hermit that was always afraid to go out without my boyfriend. So if I wasn't with him, I was moping about wishing I was with him. HELLO LOSER! All in all it worked out though because we did end up getting married! So I finished my two years of tech school and off to work I went. Which brings us here today..I now have 10 years of work experience under my belt and am trying to obtain my four year degree in Finance. Is this the road I should be traveling??? Who knows. But I am more ready now to go to college than when I was 18. I have a bit more self worth and a lot more understanding of how things work.

Besides school, September is a busy month with B-day's. Ryan's is on the 13th and Dylan's is on the 9th. Ryan decided that he wants a B-day party this year, so Dylan doesn't get one. JK The plan is to have Dylan's on the 14th and if people remember Ryan's then they remember! It's kind of funny, Ryan's mom said that when he was growing up, he had a poster on his bedroom door that said "He who dies with the most stuff WINS!" So as you can imagine it is hard for Ryan to share anything, but this year he is going to have to share his B-day celebration with his son.

Dylan is getting more active everyday. He is such a jabber box!! I love it. His favorite thing to do these days is watch SHREK. Not just three times a day, but four. I am tempted to take the TV out of the toy room. But I don't know if I could deal with the temper tantrums.

Well that's it for me. Everyone have a great week. Sorry no pics... Next time though.

My Dad's story

2008-08-21T07:32:00.000-07:00

My dad was asked to give a speech at the Truman, MN Memorial Day Service. He and 6 of his classmates/friends were drafted all at the same time. One of them happened to be his best friend, Ronnie Karau. My dad and the others made it home, but Ronnie did not. Please watch this touching video...and dad I am so glad you came home...and were able to share this story!!!

Please leave comments for my dad to read. I know he would appreciate that.

Skydiving and other random events

2008-08-13T20:16:00.000-07:00

So my mom and her friend Peggy decided that they would like to go skydiving...so they signed up. I told Ryan about what these crazy gals were going to do and he said "Sign me up too"...so I did. They had an amazing experience and all said that they would do it again. (Try not to stare at Ryan's package)

Mom's landing with her "heart-throb" instructor Geno

Peggy in toe...camera crew in all

We went to the fair. Dylan loved going on all of the rides. We went with his friend Sam and his cousin Miranda. They had a blast of course.

Lisa Sands (Olson) stopped by for a visit. This is her happy little guy Jack. He is such a good baby...and Lisa is such a good mommy!

While Lisa was over, Gen & Sam and Heather & Austin stopped over for a visit too! Look at all of the boys. So cute:)

We have also been hitting the local water parks this summer. Austin and Heather joined us on our last trip to the Fairmont Water Park.

Two more exciting announcements to share...Heather is still cancer FREE and Shanny is having a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just doesn't get any better than that!

4th of July

2008-07-07T19:37:00.001-07:00

We spent the 4th down at the St. James campground. I know we didn't go far, but it was so much fun. We partied, we swam, we ate and we watched some fire works. Funny how holiday's just get better as your family grows.

Here is Dylan lounging by the "water park".

Dylan, modeling his Winnie the Pooh speedo.

Dylan loves to be naked, so when we stripped off the speedo, he decided that he wanted to play a little bean bags before getting dressed.

He loves sparklers!!!

The Goossen's brought along a hammock. It was so comfortable and Dylan just loved relaxing.

Dylan's new fascination is baseball. He is actually pretty good. Here is a video of him attempting to hit the ball. Of course when I decided to video it, he didn't really get a hold of it, but here is a clip of his attempts.

Something that I truly enjoy #2...Boot Camp. First I love complaining about going, but then once I get there and I start to sweat I just love it. Only problem is on the days I don't have it and don't do anything at all. I really need to get myself motivated to get to the gym. Why pay for it if I am not going to use it right??? It's hypocritical of me to complain about not having any money when I am just throwing it away.

#3 Talking to and about my brother. Over the week end he drove from NC to WA and didn't get lost. He started his new job today and loved it. I hope that he continues to love it. He had a conference call with Martha Stewart. How cool is that!!! I couldn't be prouder of him. I am sure that the people that I work with are sick of hearing me brag about him, but his life just seems so darn interesting. Not only that but he is so easy to brag about. I can't wait to go and visit him in WA.

Well sweet dreams to everyone. Bye

Camping trip #2

2008-06-30T19:55:00.001-07:00

Well this week end we decided to venture out to the Reid campground aka Randy and Bonnie's. It was Railroad Day's week end so Great Grandpa and Grandma Reid decided to come camping too. The RR Day's parade ended up being a bust due to the weather, but Ryan's softball team took home the 1st place trophy from the softball tournament. Here are just a few pics from the week end.

Kind of a scary looking sky when you are thinking about sleeping in a camper.

Like father like son...

Dylan is kicking back and watching a movie in the camper.

Dylan and his new power wheels.

Just hanging out in the camper.

So it's been awhile.

2008-06-24T20:10:00.000-07:00

So what's new here. Well I was in a wedding....It's always great to get together with my girlfriends. It's funny how times have changed. The majority of us were gone by 10 p.m. We were all geared up for some heavy drinking, but that didn't quite happen for some of us.

We sold the boat and bought my parents camper...We spent our first week end of camping at Camp Dells in Waterville, MN. It was Bullhead Days. We didn't quite make any of the festivities, we spent the week end swimming, coloring, playing uno and of course eating.

Let's see what else...Mom, Dad and I are all in Sadie's Boot Camp. I am so going to miss it when it's all said and done. It only lasts eight weeks. I just never realized how out of shape I really was...am!

Dylan of course is growing like a weed. His favorite things to do these days is playing baseball and basketball, riding the four wheeler, helping mom water the garden, watching POOH and playing with his cousins Mimi and Mimi. (That would be Sammy and Miranda). Everyday it's something new and we just can't believe all of the things that he comes up with.

Ryan is still the same o' same o'. Working and playing.

As for me...I am on a quest to find things that I truly enjoy. It is going to be a long journey only because there is so much out there I haven't done. So wish me luck and I will keep you posted on my progress. So far I have found that I truly enjoy camping. It's nice to get away and have my family all to myself. Selfish maybe; but they are just too fun!

I promise it won't take me as long next time to update the blog.

Just a side note...

2008-04-21T18:34:00.000-07:00

If you want to watch a good tragic love story, you must rent "Atonement". It is by far the best movie I have seen in a while or maybe have ever seen. I enjoy movies that really make me "feel". It has been two days since I have watched it and I am still a little heart broken and disturbed. I will definitely have to buy that one.

A trip to the Tatertot Hotdish pad.

2008-04-21T18:20:00.001-07:00

A couple of weeks ago, the three of us went to visit the new baby at the Theobald residents. I also wanted to check out the new house and see the dogs. Cuz everyone knows how much I like dogs...

Here are Dylan and Sam playing on the couch...still friends.

Dylan and Sam still playing on the couch, but this time Scuba decided to join in and make them laugh hysterically...Still friends.

Here they are again much calmer and looking cute...still friends.

Here is the bloody nose that Dylan gave Sam. It was a left hook. Actually we really aren't sure what happened. They were goofing around on the floor, Dylan was being a big cry baby and Sam was just wanting to play. Sam stands up shoves his finger up his nose and it starts bleeding. I was the only one that witnessed it, so everyone else thought that Dylan had punched Sam in the nose. That wasn't the case at all. It was kind of funny though and will enjoy sharing the story with the boys when they get older.

They are still friends.

ECFE

2008-04-21T18:09:00.001-07:00

So every Thursday night Dylan and I attend ECFE class. It gives us a chance to play together and for me to watch him interact with other kids. There is also a point in the night when moms and dads all congregate in a separate room and talk about what's new with our kids.

By far Dylan's favorite things to do are driving the cars and going down the slides.

Here is Dilly in the purple Barbie car.

And here he is playing cop.

I thought this one was cute. He has his nose pressed up against the mesh.

No Dilly isn't that short...Austin is just that tall.

Here is a picture of Miss Madelyn Malmgren. That would be Luke and Brooke (Rinne's) Malmgren's little girl. She is such a cutie and a very good girl.

The fun ship part two...

2008-03-10T18:23:00.001-07:00

So Ryan is going to kill me when he sees that I have put this picture on the blog. But I just don't understand how people can fall asleep in the sun. I mean it's like 9000 degrees out, my eyeballs feel like they are going to burn out of my head and my scalp is one fire. I just think it's odd. Don't get me wrong I love laying out and soaking up the rays, but I am more of a book reader/gawker, not a napper.

Our second stop was St. Thomas. One word...gorgeous. Some people are so fortunate. Someday I hope to live in a place like this off my credit card. The incurred debt would be totally worth it.

Ryan and I decided to do a snorkeling excursion. We took death defying cab ride through the island of St. Thomas. By death defying I mean at one time Ryan and I looked at each other and thought we probably should have written out the will before we left for the trip. Any who, we ended up at some rental property where we hopped aboard a catamaran for a waving ride over to the snorkeling "spot".

The snorkeling was marvelous to say the least. There were lots of tropical fish and then seems to swim right up next to you. Oh wait...that was because our tour guide decided to throw in some fish bait so we could see the fish up close. Seriously you couldn't swim too fast or you would have ran into them.

Continued....

I know how to do it!!

2008-03-08T12:56:00.000-08:00

Basketball anyone?

2008-03-08T08:27:00.000-08:00

It's the fun ship...Part 1

2008-03-06T17:30:00.001-08:00

We started off on Saturday around 5 p.m. Bags in toe we headed up to the cities. We stopped off for a burger and Joe Sensor's and then off to the hotel for a good night's sleep. Except that it was not such a good night sleep. Come to find out that the 6 a.m. shuttle and the 5 a.m. shuttle were both booked, so we had to take the 4 a.m. shuttle to the airport in order to catch our 7 a.m. flight. So it was a short Saturday night, but a long Sunday morning.

Everything went great though. Our flight was perfect and getting through security to get on the ship was a breeze. We boarded the fun ship around 2 p.m. The first stop was the food court of course. Ryan and Dustin decided that it would be a good idea to sample the drink specials and after a couple hours of sampling the two were more then well on their way. It was quite comical.

Our first port was Nassau...which was awesome. We decided on the "Discover Atlantis" excursion and couldn't have had a better time. The four of us can't wait to go and spend a week or so at the resort.

Thought I better throw one in of Dylan too

2008-02-07T13:12:00.000-08:00

You can look at this picture one of two ways...either Dylan is really large for his age or this recliner is just his size.

Gen, they must all go through the headband stage. Except Dylan is portraying his favorite Star Trek character whereas Sam was portaying his mommy. Either way it's flippin adorable.

Vacation

2008-02-04T08:06:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics from our cruise. We started off in Fort Lauderdale, FL, cruised for a day, then stopped off at Cozumel, back on the ship, cruised for another day and were dumped off in FL. I don't think I would ever sign up for that type of cruise again. Too much time on the ship, not enough time enjoy the island. After awhile the ship begins to feel a little small.

So enjoy the pics...we are off on another adventure the last week in February.

Christmas

2008-01-02T18:17:00.001-08:00

This has to be the most adorable picture of the three little munchkins to date. Miranda (6), Dylan (1) and Sammy (4). They really enjoy spending time together. Miranda loves to play house and boss her little sister around. Sammy loves to color me pictures and Dylan is always just along for the ride.

This image is cropped from one of our many attempts at a family picture. Aren't the two of them cute. This is my little bro Nicholas (25) and Miss Miranda. Needless to say there was no official Christmas picture sent. I think my mom was a little heart broken. We tried though.

Here is Dylan practicing to be a Shepard some day in the Christmas program at church. My grandma Zoellmer was nice enough to lend him her cane.

After many attempts of getting an Christmas picture of Dylan...He was good, but I just wasn't fast enough with the camera. It looks like he is begging up to just be done with it.

Dylan and Austin checking out Heather's snow globe. They were more fascinated with the candle in the top of the snow globe than anything.
This is Dylan opening up one of his favorite gifts.

Christmas has come and gone. We were so lucky to be able to celebrate it with all of the families this year. It started out at my parents house on Saturday afternoon, then off to Reid's house on Sunday night, Monday night was spent with the Kuhlman clan, Tuesday it was back out to Reid's for the Reid Family Christmas and then Saturday was spent with the Zoellmer's. Very busy, but we are very blessed to have so much family around us. Dylan received lots of books, trucks, balls, clothes, towels...you name it he got it. He wasn't into it much yet this year. I have a feeling that next year we will have to put a fence around the tree. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

A few more cute ones...

2007-11-27T16:22:00.001-08:00

This is such a cute picture. He really enjoyed opening gifts, but what he liked even more was putting the wrapping paper into the trash bag.

Just being a cutie pie...
This is nothing eventful, just him walking around, being busy.

Check out that belly. I wonder who he gets that from.

Yard work

2007-10-21T12:50:00.001-07:00

It's great now that Dylan is walking...He is much easier to handle outside. He is very active and fun to chase around. We decided to rake leaves on Saturday beings it was so nice outside. I thought Dylan would love to play in the piles of leaves, but as you can see from the pictures, it wasn't all smiles.

Dylan is 1!!!!

2007-09-14T19:05:00.000-07:00

Everything went great. The weather was perfect, the food was perfect, company was great and Dylan was in a good mood.

We had to be quick with the camera. Dylan did not want to keep his party hat on for long.

Great Grandma Sussie made the birthday cupcakes. They were delicious. Dylan loved the chocolate one!!

After cupcakes, we opened presents. He got lots of clothes, two "riding" scooters, money, books and so on.
His favorite gift was by far his new cell phone. His cousins Miranda and Samantha gave it to him. He holds it up to his ear and pretends to take a call. It's quite cute.

One of his riding scooters. He got this from Grandpa and Grandma Reid.

Someday he'll walk...

2007-08-29T09:05:00.000-07:00

So it's been awhile since I have blogged. Dylan is getting more active everyday. He is now doing the army crawl, when he wants to get somewhere fast, crawling on all fours, when he just wants to get from point A to point B, climbing around on furniture, walking behind his toys, pointing, blowing kisses...the list goes on and on. It's like it happened over night. We couldn't be prouder and he couldn't be happier...

Heather is officially cancer FREE!!!!

2007-08-29T08:57:00.001-07:00

Heather got the call yesterday around 3:30 that she is still cancer FREE!!!!

Relay for Life 2007

Maren, Heather, Melissa, Tiffany, Shannon, Me and Missy
The first season vb game was last night at MVL. Even the opposing team had TEAM Heather shirts on...the coaches, players and the fans. It was very emotional.

Want to go for a swim anyone?

2007-07-27T10:56:00.000-07:00

Dylan tried out his pool for the first time on Tuesday night. I was a "splash" hit.

Here's an action shot.Dylan doing the breast stroke. I always thought that he would be a professional golfer...maybe he is going to be an Olympic swimmer instead.

GG Adams come for a visit

2007-07-27T10:47:00.000-07:00

GG Frankie and GG Dick decided to come for a visit. This is the first time that they have ever gotten to see Dylan in person. They came down on Thursday and departed early Monday morning. Thursday night we went out for supper at Burgen. Dylan was a peach...thank God. Friday night we grilled out and ate supper on the deck. We are so forturnate to that the mosquitos haven't been too bad this summer. Saturday was a pretty productive day. We started out by going to watch Ryan's softball game over in Welcome. Then on our way home we stopped off at a flea market. For once I went shopping and didn't find anything to buy. Later on in the afternoon, we went over to visit GG Earl and GG Shirley and finished up the night at home freezing 10 dozen ears of sweet corn. Sunday was very low key with a midmorning trip to Fairmont for brunch.

Here is Dylan with GG Frankie and his new squirrel.
GG Dick, Dylan and GG Frankie.
GG Adams brought many present for Dylan. One of which was his self portrait. He has gotten so big.

Am I a lucky lady or what?

2007-07-20T07:32:00.000-07:00

Here's me with my two very handsome men. This picture was taken at the Legion in STJ. We were there for Mel and Heath Runge's Wedding Dance. It was an early night for Dylan and me, but not so much for Dad. Some things never change!!

Me, Heds and Molls
Earlier that day we drove over to Madelia to watch the parade. I thought that this was a cute picture of Dylan with his papa.
On Wednesday night we went out the the Spitzner farm to check out the new additions to the family...Baby Goats. They were adorable and very loud. So loud that...
Dylan didn't want anything to do with them. We made several attepmts, but he was too scared. Poor little guy!
This is Austin and Grandpa Spitzner in the tractor. If you click on the picture you can see him in there a little better.

And last but not least, Dilly and I just lounging in the grass while Ryan slaved away waxing his truck.

Have a good week.

Boating anyone??.....

2007-07-02T11:57:00.001-07:00

Well Ryan and I thought we had it made. We were going to take Dylan for a nice ride in the boat and have a perfect Sunday....Doesn't he look like he is having fun?
NOT!!!! The picture above is from Saturday and we were still parked in the driveway. He had a blast honking the horn and pretending to drive while sitting on dad's lap. But then....

We decided to try out his life jacket and he HATED it. His poor little head was just bareley poking out of the top and he couldn't move his head back and forth, it was driving him crazy. So we decided not to take him in the boat with us afterall.

He was, on the other hand, willing to strike a few adorable poses in his new swimming gear. And yes, I purposely bought ones that would match with Ryan's. Don't they look cute together!!!!

This has to be the biggest smile.

2007-06-05T09:49:00.000-07:00

For some reason Dylan loves to feel furniture. Here he is patting the couch. Isn't he just adorable!!!

Portrait

2007-06-05T09:47:00.000-07:00

Ryan's grandparents down in AZ have a freind that does oil paintings. The friend saw Dylan's birth announcement hanging on the wall and she fell in love with his hands and said that she must paint him. So she did...Pretty cool huh.

Austin is 1!!

2007-06-05T09:43:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, Dylan attended his first birthday party. Mr. Austin Spitzner has turned one already. They put on quite a party...lots of good food and great company. Here the two of them are playing the grass. Austing likes to pick the flowers and Dylan likes to eat them.

Another Doctor's Appointment

2007-05-25T08:30:00.001-07:00

I received a call from the doctor yesterday and she said after examining Dylan’s test results, she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Meaning after looking at his blood under a microscope, checking over his liver and kidney’s and having a rheumatologist look things over, they didn’t see anything alarming. His white cell count was in the 15,000, which she felt comfortable with, his red blood cell count was low, and his platelets were still high. So now we wait…She wants me to bring him back in after he has a two week period with no illnesses, from there they will run a second batch of tests. She is also going to refer us to an Allergist in hopes that the inflammation is a sign of an allergic reaction. Hopefully that will be with in the next week or so. I’ll keep you posted.
Dylan playing Doctor.
He loves to wear his hat. I think because Ryan wears them all of the time, he thinks he looks cool wearing his.

New things

2007-05-05T07:39:00.000-07:00

Dylan finally got to spend some time outside. It was pretty hot during the day so we went out in the evening and caught a spot in the shade for about 20 mins.
Grass?
My new sun hat. Believe it or not, he doesn't mind wearing it. That's awesome.
His grandma and grandpa got him this noise making, spin around, color flashy globe. It keeps him preoccupied for quite some time. He pushes the same button over and over and over and over and over...i think you get the picture. His first words are not going to be mom and dad, they are going be "We travel around the world". It gets about that far and then he pushes the button again.
Here he is reading his favorite book. It has a bunch of mirrors on it and he just loves to see his reflection.

Here he is crashed in his crib. I think it's funny how he always has his legs crossed.

Here is his 8 month picture.
Dylan and Austin chatting it up.

Dylan fell asleep in his highchair the other day. I've seen it on Funniest Home Videos and thought how can they possibly fall asleep like that, but they do...
Well Dylan has had another crazy week. We had to bring him into the doctor again because of a low grade fever. And sure enough his white cell counts were at 18000 again. So they put him on some more antibiotics and sent us on our way. We will be returning to the doctor in 7 days to check his white cell counts again. He is doing just fine and was a real trooper for the doctor's. I'll keep you posted. Other than that, it has been a quiet week. Only one more week of school and I am done for the summer. Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great week everyone.

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

2007-04-16T06:52:00.000-07:00

So every once in a while TDF needs a seat filler on the jet. Here is a few pics of "first class" flying. Personally, I think it's pretty awesome and something that I never thought in a million years that I would get to do. It's also fun traveling with your favorite co-workers as well. I personally can't drink on the plane, because my mind set takes over and all I can think about is how I don't not want to have to go to the bathroom. There is a little porta on the plane, but I just can't!

Patty, Byron and myself. (Pilots behind me)

Me and my buddy.

This is my friend Austin. He came over to play today. Mom said "Look like a deer in head lights", so that's what we did and she took the picture. Next time I hope Samster can come over and play too. It's been awhile since I have seen him.
We went on a walk too. It was so nice out. Austin and I both fell asleep, but it was still a good time.

Austin Spitzner looking as cute as ever.
And Mr. Dylan. He cut a tooth on Friday night, so he is constantly either chewing on his lips or spitting out his tongue.

A few cute pics...

Dylan loves playing with Gus. He usually grabs on with both hands and buries his face in the cat. I am sure some day Gus will teach him a lesson.

TV

We have discovered that Dylan is a TV fan just like his mom and dad. Our morning routine with him is: get him up, change the diaper, go upstairs and plop him in his bouncy and turn on the either Baby Einstein or Mickey Mouse Club, depending on what time he gets up. He is a trooper in the morning. I usually don't have a problem with getting to work on time. He also thinks that the bouncy chair is for sitting now, not relaxing. So now we kind of do have to watch him, just in case he tips over. It's quite cute though. He is growing up so fast.

Dylan is 7 months old already!

I can still remember delivery like it was yesterday. Funny how everyone says you will forget about it. NOT SO MUCH... It was totally worth it though. I couldn't ask for a better baby.

He had the flu over the week end and now dad has come down with it too. I am not sure who is the bigger baby. You could hardly tell that Dylan was sick, besides that fact that he was like a fountain out of both ends. Poor little guy. On Sunday he had had two baths with in 15 minutes. He was a trooper though. I'll get back to you on Ryan.

Dylan thought that it would be funny to do "raspberries" every time I took the spoon out of his mouth. Here is the after math... He thought it was so funny. I have to admit it was pretty cute.

Dylan and his daddy. He is such a daddy's boy...That's a good thing!

Sometimes I can catch him smiling. I have to be pretty quick with the camera though.
Ryan swears he's going to be a beer drinker. Yikes!!

I hope he stick with water:)

Dylan can sit up all by himself now. He does take a nose dive every once in awhile and I have learned that he probably should have something soft under him to catch his fall. We don't want carpet burns on his forehead.
