The little Doodle turned 3!

Oh Dallie Boy! Holy smokes he turned 3 on August 8! What is happening ?! My kids are getting big way too fast and I have NO brake pedal. Dallin enjoyed a day of fine dining (Carl's Jr.) with the whole family and cupcakes (courtesy of the Big O Tires that is next to Carl's Jr. - they love us- and since we've gotten 8 new tires in the last week - they brought cupcakes over to lunch while we waited for the second set of tires to be put on my car. ), He also enjoyed getting some dollars from Grandpa and Grandma Chesley, and working hexbugs with a track from Grandma and Grandpa Slade. He was in heaven and everything all day was "for my birthday" according to Dallie. He is a handful of a kid- but a great way to meld us all together by being at the tail end of our family. He wanted a "burtday cake with green frosting" and so that's what he got- even though his siblings tried to talk him into other things.

He got stuck in the shoe holder at Carl's and couldn't get out - he didn't want me to take a picture, but I couldn't resist.

Here are our cupcakes that big o people walked over to us during lunch - we shared with the kids that were playing with ours at the play thing.
Here's his presents - flashlight, cell phone that flips/swivels open, and other good stuff!


So - to cap it off - here' a bit about our Dallin:

*He loves his blanket and one corner of it is his "kung kung" - (we have no idea where that came from) he has to have his hand on it when he falls asleep...
*He fights like the best of them (punches and all)
*He rides a scooter like a pro
*He talks and carries on conversations with anyone he's comfortable with and if he's not he buries his head in one of his parent's shoulders.
*He loves to make his bed
*If you ask him to do something he says "will you say please nicely?" and then we have to say please nicely for him to comply - he does this with strangers too...
*He loves to play with the dogs....any chance he gets
*He loves to be tucked in "one more time" every night at least 6 more times....
*He loves to remind us to always bless the food
*Riding on his dad's back is one of his favorite things to do
*His laugh his contagious
*His little personality makes everyone happy (when he's happy at least)
*He LOVES Scooby Doo
*He does lots of artwork on every wall in my house
*He loves to spray any kind of cleaner/bottle he can get his hands on

Oh Dallie! What a pleasure you are to have around! We love you!
