Well Happy Fathers Day  to all you dads out there! Especially to my Dad and my husband Nathan. Today was a super fun and great Fathers Day . It started out with letting Nathan sleep in while I made him a scrumptious breakfast which included: eggs, peppered bacon, orange juice and yogurt with fresh blueberries and strawberries.  I also gave him and awesome home-made card that had our children's signatures.... which meant that I picked a name for a little girl, and I decided to go with his preferred name. So, her name will be: Kylie Eloysa Dill, he likes that name and Eloysa is my Grandmothers name.  And, the gift he received from us was a briefcase for church, which was much needed! Now, he just had an early dinner and is taking a well deserved nap. A great way to end an awesome day for an awesome dad. 

Memorial weekend at Michigan...best Vacation ever

Well we had the funnest vacation ever at Michigan....we left Oklahoma early on Friday morning and stayed until early Tuesday morning. We jam packed a weks worth of fun in only a few days. At the end we were exhausted, but it was worth it. I would definately love to go back to that beautiful state again. Here are tons of pictures and a video of our awesome vacation (The people that we shared this vacation with was Bruce Dill (Granpa Dill), Gary B. Dill (the Dad), Nola, Nathan, Matthew, Chrisine, Emmi, and Sterling Wallace, James and Shawnee Scifres, Josh and Dina Wray, Brayden Dill, and myself ).




I know this is kind of a silly picture of Matthew but I just wanted to capture how green and pretty the grass is in MichiganThese are "lillies of the valley" they are beautiful, smell devine, and grow like weeds there...

Sterling, Matthew, and Nathan wrestling at Granpa Dills in Holt, Michigan....

Emmi and Matthew having the time of their lives

This is a cute little village near Traverse City that we shopped and walked around at...it was sooo much fun! Here is Granpa Dill with Nathan, Josh, Emmi, and Matthew....Look at those redheads.

The guys giving us girls a break and carrying the kiddos...this was nice.

This is a picture of the lake we hung out at near the village....the next few pics are of us at this same lake.
Christine and Emmi lovin the sand.....

Cute picture of Brayden.....playing in the sand

Emmi being cute as usual....I love her hair in this picture.

Sterling playing in the sand....

Matthew loving the rocks....

Nathan and Matthew bonding, Nathan was trying to teach him how to skip rocks.

Josh and Dina......they are so cute, I had other cute pictures of them, but no time to post.

Shawnee and James....awe they make a cute couple

After visiting the village we went to another part of Lake Michigan and this picture doesn't give it justice, but there was a very steep hill that decended all the way to the lake....James, Josh, and Christine went all the way to the bottom...so Shawnee and I decided to join them when they got to the bottom. 3/4ths of the way down Christine talked Shawnee and I out of going down the whole way and we were super glad we didn't go all the way, because the climb up was INSANE...but a great work out at the same time. I still feel the burn in my calves today.

This is the video where James, Josh, Dina, Nathan, and Christine jumped into the FREEZING, Lake Michigan! I also happened to get Christine losing her class ring in the lake (what I didn't capture is all of them staying in the lake for an additional ten minutes, looking for the ring).

First birthday and MORE!!!!

Well, sorry this post took so long, I've been a little busy. Oh and Happy belated Mothers Day to all you awesome moms! The only pictures I have of Matthews first birthday is his haircut and first push toy (I forgot to bring the camera to Stillwater where Matthew had his first cake and LOTS more presents...sorry). ....so here it goes, hope you enjoy.



Here are the before shots of his long locks, front.....

.............and back.....................

After shots

Front...........................

..................and Back! ( I guess he looks like a little boy now, because since we cut his hair there has not been one mistake of someone thinking he is a girl)

Matthews push toy birthday present from Grandpa Dill and Nola.

And now the moment everyone has been waiting for (at least those I haven't told yet)! DRUMROLL ................................. The Dill's would proudly like to introduce to the world...their new baby GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the proof.

This photo shot was pretty neat...I think we are going to have a future Olympic diver in the family. It's hard to make out but she is positioned in a somersault with her hands behind her knees, legs against the face, and toes pointed. We couldn't stop laughing at this talented pose. Well there you have it...I would write more but Nathan is anxious to get on the computer so until next time, enjoy this blog.

Matthew is FINALLY WALKING!!!!!!!!!

Matthew has finally taken his first steps on his own and here is a little clip to prove (he did it just in time for his first birthday...which is tomorrow). We plan on cutting his hair for the first time, and having the traditional chocolate cake eating. Oh this video is a little late, he has been walking (without our motivation) since Sunday!!!Yay!!!!

Long time, no write

Sorry for the months of no blogging....Tiredness and fatigue has been my constant companion lately. Much has happened, for starters, Nathan and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary! It was very very nice. And, hopefully next year I won't be pregnant for once. Secondly, Matthew has almost started walking and on May first he will be ONE! He also finally broke teeth (two bottom teeth to be exact). We are excited for Easter to come and we thoroughly enjoyed General Conference yesterday. Well that is all for now, I know it's short, but it's late and I don't have any pictures... and I don't like posting long blogs without pics. So, until next time.....Laterz

Well, things have been a little hectic around here, which is why it has been so long since I blogged....Sorry. First off, we finally moved into our duplex...its really cute, I would have taken pictures of it but our little Matthew got a hold of our camera and broke the shutter. Luckily, I did get some important pictures taken before the camera was ruined (we are going to take it in to get fixed by the way). This first picture is the pic I sent in to Regis and Kelly Live Most Beautiful Baby Contest! There are a LOT of entries, hopefully he will win.



And on to another adventure....Getting Matthew on a sleep pattern so he will sleep through the night. The only way to accomplish that is to have him cry himself to sleep....Lately, however, this is how we find him when he finally stops crying. LOL Bless his heart...Oh and that is his upper lip hanging over the crib bumber. Hehehehehe

And this last picture I am not going to explain....hopefully you can figure out for yourself what this "stick" means.

Well that's all the craziness I can come up with for now, we'll see what next week brings the Dill family.

"Walkin' in a Winter Wonder Land...."

Oklahoma finally saw a glimpse of winter this month.

And Matthew got to see "snow" for the first time (it was really ice but he doesn't know the difference, it's white and different and that is all that matters).

(This is a tree right outside our apartment, I thought it looked pretty cool)

My mountain Man :)

I had to let him feel that coldness (don't worry he wasn't touching it for that long)...this kid definately loves the outdoors, he loved every minute outside in the bitter cold.



Proof that he was extatic




Let's climb a tree......

And this is Matthew saying, "Man, I LOVE this. Let's stay out here forever!"

Well, he didn't say that out loud but he was definately thinking it. He really did enjoy this beautiful day. I am so blessed to have such an awesome baby who loves everything and is so full of life...I am also very thankful for this touch of WINTER we had, it was a lot of fun. Looking at the beauty of the ice and snow makes you WONDER, how can there not be a GOD? I thank him so much for all he has given us especially for the beauty of the Earth/LAND!
