Dillon's Birthday!

Our "baby" Dillon turned 2 this month. Of course his party was all about trains!

Dillon was excited about his train table and so was his Mom. Having our own train table means that we don't have to stay at Barns and Noble for extended periods of time playing with theirs :).

Joe took Dillon on a tram ride, which Dillon loved. He pranced all around the tram car helping everyone to feel the excitement.

Dillon loved wondering around the top of the mountain looking for snow to crunch.

Last weekend Joe took Dillon up the canyon to play in the snow. Joe showed Dillon the fun and art of sliding on the icy snow (which shockingly Dillon didn't catch onto - except to fall). Dillon much prefers to walk around crunching the snow beneath him.

Nuggets Please

Dillon's new love in life. Chicken Nuggets. Dillon would like to have nuggets for breakfast (as seen above), lunch and dinner. However, his mean Mom limits his nugget love to one meal per day. Dillon will open the freezer and find the chicken nuggets, he will then open the refrigerator and find the ketchup and give it a good shake (hello - who likes icky ketchup juices) he then finds anyone around who will put them in the microwave for him. Yum, Yum!

Halloween

Dillon was all over Halloween this year. Previously, he had thrown a fit every time I tried to put his overalls and hat on (train conductor costume). However, when it came to the real-deal-candy-getting-time, he didn't utter a complaint and did what had to be done - wear the costume. We went to my brother Kade's house and trick-or-treated with his kids as well as my brother Ladd's. Dillon didn't miss a beat stepping up and getting his candy. However, instead of saying trick-or-treat, he gave everyone a "choo-choo" as any good train conductor would.

We went truck-or-treating the night before Halloween, which gave him some good practice and got him into the mode.

A couple of weekends before Halloween we took Dillon to Gardner Village to see the witches and go to the petting-zoo. He thought the witches were okay, but he was all over the petting-zoo. Each animal got a pet on the head, multiple times, and was also told what sound they made (sheep - a loud "Baa").

I think that I enjoyed the witches more than Dillon did.

The weekend before Halloween, we went to the American Heritage Center (in Logan) with my brother Ladd's family. We had fun with all their Halloween activities. Dillon of course was all about their train and had to ride it multiple times.
