Random is Okay

Preston is showing Julie where the food will go when he needs to eat again in 20 to 30 seconds!
This pictures was taken about 5 minutes and 23 seconds after the last one and it takes him about 5 minutes to eat.
Dallin the protector, he loves to get into the crib and rub Preston's head. Julie and I can not figure this one out. He loves to rub smaller childrens' heads. Just yesterday he rubbed Ronin's head through his skull shaping helmet hole.

Pumpkin Patch

It is a parents job to provide different life experiences for their children and one experience all children should have is the pumpkin patch.We take Dallin to the pumpkin patch and what is the first thing he finds, a digger (Dallins words not mine).
What is the second thing he finds, a forklift oh so fun.
Dallin was really excited to take this photo, I'm sure you can see that for yourself.
Dallin just had to hold Preston on his lap, and ever the good big brother he is showing Preston where to look.
Dallin decided that he wanted the rest of the photos to be taken with him sitting on the pumpkin.
Dallin pointing to his favorite person in the group, it's okay I'm not jealous.

Preston's New Toy

This past week we decided that Preston was ready for the Excersaucer, it was a huge success.
He loves to stuff the orange thing into his mouth.
Dallin spreading his hatred for the camera to Preston, I guess it is sweet that he is trying to protect Preston.
My professor for Ethical Concerns of Sports is also the manager of the Orem Owlz, which is a single A baseball team that plays at the University stadium. He offered all of his students all the free Tickets we wanted to this play off game. So we jumped at the chance to go as a family.
Dallin had a lot of fun especially when there was a hit, there were a couple of home runs hit which also proved to be even more exciting for him.
In this one Dallin is watching the mascot who was quite the dancer, Dallin would jump up and dance along with him.
The tickets were great, right behind home plate.
Did I mention Dallin has now reached his no longer happy to take pictures stage of life, well he has and we "hate it".

A Night Out at the Movies

Some of you may or may not be aware that two of Dallins favorite movies are the Toy Story movies. Also you may have noticed that Disney did a re release of both movies in 3D this week. On our way out the door to see Toy Story 2, Dallin had been telling Julie all day while I was gone that tonight no mommy, no poppy, no yeahyeah, just daddy and mine. I should probably clarify; poppy is grandpa, yeahyeah is grandma, and mine is how Dallin says me.
Julie and I thought this was the perfect oppurtunity to introduce Dallin to the movie theater. He loved it. As you can see he got treats which he really didn't care about since he was so taken by the size of the screen.
He had to sit on the very end of his seat because he wasn't heavy enough or big enough depending on how you look at it to keep the folding seat from folding in on him. This was the case for at least a little while untill he realized he could use the seat as a toy and open and close it for fun.
Dallin loved the theater he sat like this pretty much the whole time and yelled and shouted during his favorite scenes. We had only one hitch, those stupid 3D glasses which Dallin did not want to wear. Once I got them one he forgot they were even there. These are the type of experiences that confirm to you that your children are the cutest kids on earth.

Smores and More

Dallins first Smore. I was hoping he would go into "Sandlot" dialogue with me here I guess he is still a little young.
Turns out that Dallin likes the marshmallows raw better than cooked.
Master mallow cooker Julie, cooks a marshmallow to perfection.
Dallin first wanted dad to put the fire out.
Dallin informing us that the fire was hot and that we should be careful.

Dr. Dallin

Dallin has always had a fascination with stethoscopes and other medical supplies, so he is loving the new toys.
Since Preston is his best friend and a slow moving target he is a good patient for Dallin.
Dallin calls the stethoscope a "beat beat" much cuter than the real name, and we have no idea how he came up with that name since we have never talked about this.

A day at the Denver Zoo

Everybody but Preston, I'm not exactly sure how this happened. Plus the worlds only carnivorous giraffe, it is eating Amy's head.
We haven't learned that it is bad to stick our heads into the wild animal cage yet.
Dallin is about the coolest person I know.
To tired even for an elephant.
Amy and a Lion.
Preston enjoying the zoo.
A lion doing what an elephant couldn't do, helping Dallin find his second wind.
It was the coolest thing this lion just walked on over to Dallin and sat down. Thank you safety glass.

Dallin + Animals

Dallin loved the trampoline and apparently so did the dog.
It took Dallin no time at all to figure out what the dog wanted.
Wrestling for the ball, no dogs were hurt in the production of this picture.
Learning where eggs for eating come from.
Dallin has great great uncles, Kelly spent the whole night helping Dallin with the animals.
He also has amazing cousins.
Dallin loved the Mule but he is still a little to young for his own.
Julie doing what she does best.

Blessing day for Preston.

My family is amazing!
Could I have married a prettier girl, you can see where the boys get their eyes from.
So handsome!
Ready to roll.

That is one big family, where are the Rusts?
