We celebrated our 9 year anniversary this last month. We celebrate by having a family birthday, since it was when our family started. The girls wanted to know how long after we got married that they were born. So much has changed in the last 9 years. We have lived so many different places, have had 4 kids, and our love as grown and gotten so much deeper. I thought I loved him more than ever on when we got married...it amazes me how much more I love him now! He is the best! 
The tooth fairy FINALLY got to visit our house Tuesday night! Miss B was so excited and couldn't wait to go to bed that night! She was also quite relieved to get her tooth out, it got loose enough that it was hurting her. I am still surprised that I pulled it out. I do not do good with loose teeth. I had a hard enough time when I lost mine as a child. But when my child is hurting, you do what you have to do! I'm sure after a few more lose teeth, it won't be that big of a deal for me anymore!
Bethany's tooth fairy pillow. It hangs on her door, which makes it much easier for the tooth fairy. Along with the $ she got a new book, got to keep her tooth, and a note complete with fairy dust. In the note her TF said that she only gets these extra special things with her first tooth. Bethany kept saying the next day that she has the best TF and that her TF is rich!! :)
So by Sunday I was a little burned out with taking pictures of everything. These were the only pictures I took all day. It has been fun capturing all of our normal day to day stuff this last week, but boy am I glad to be done for now!
Highlight of the day, Dallen playing peekabo in the car!
Highlights of the day, we turned Dallen's carseat around! He is still 3 pounds shy of the turn around weight, but he is 1 and I couldn't stand having him face backwards anymore. I love being able to see him and it opens up our van so much more!
Highlight's of the day, me and the girls went to see the Lion King at their school. Also Rylan trying to keep his pants on, we all got a good laugh!
Non-highlight for the day, taking Dallen to the dr. and him getting 4 shots. Poor little guy!
Highlight of the day, Dallen's birthday party with some great friends! 
Highlight of the day, Bethany has her 1st loose tooth!
This is what this girl has been waiting for, for about a 1 1/2 years. Since all of her friends in Kindergarten started getting loose teeth and losing their teeth.....well she wanted to too! My kids don't get teeth until they are at least 1, and with Bethany being the very youngest in her class this was not a good combination for the loosing teeth factor. 
Doing ballet moves on the rocks. She does ballet whenever she goes. She says that she just can't help it!
This little girl loves to have her picture taken. Whenever I have the camera out she will stop and pose for me. I love it!
Rylan wanted a picture on the train track. He actually stopped and asked for his picture to be taken. Amazing!!
Dallen did not like me putting him on the grass. He isn't a big fan.
The boys are the only ones who got easter outfits this year, and that's because I bought them last year on sale. I had intentions of doing easter outfits, and actually bought 2 different dresses for both Hannah and Bethany. In the end I decided that the girls really didn't need another new dress right now. Plus we wouldn't even be going to church on easter. So I took the dresses back. So until next year when I will put a little more effort into easter.
This is how I found Dallen one day, when I had to wake him up from his nap. I have to wake him up quite often to go pick up the girls from school. Something that I really don't like to do. I guess this is how he blocks out all the noise from the other kids, so he can sleep! Whatever works!
We took the kids to the zoo. It had been awhile, so it was fun!
I got to go out on a date with my mom one night, and a date with Ky another night. We celebrated Dallen's birthday the last night she was here. I think Dallen enjoyed it!
This toy has been the most sought after toy at our house since he unwrapped it. Rylan likes to take it to his room and hide it so he can play with it. It has been a hit from a 1 year old to an almost year old!
He had to take a break to suck his thumb!
One happy birthday boy!
I can't believe this little guy has been with our family for a year already. He has been such a huge blessing to our family, like all of our kids are. 
Dallen loves to eat! He would sit in his chair and eat all day long if I would let him. He will go over and stand next to his chair when he wants to eat. I have nicknamed him our puppy because he will go around under the table looking for scraps. Yes we do feed him!
He enjoys crawling around the house and having more independence. He likes pulling himself to a standing position and can stand for a few seconds without holding on. He will walk along furniture. He also climbed up the stair the other day, but had no clue how to get back down.
He has started to say some words. He has been saying dada for a month or so, and just last week started saying muma (mama). So that makes Dada- 4 , Mama - 0. That's ok though I know my kids love me. He will shake his head yes or no. I'm not sure if he always answers right, but you know he is listening and trying to respond. He babbles lots of other things and try to mimic what you are saying.
He loves playing with his toys and is figuring them all out.
He has had 4 haircuts, and needs another. I told myself that I wasn't going to cut it again until after his birthday.
He loves to play peekabo, and he still sleeps like a champ!
It is so fun watching him grow up and to see more of his personality shine through.
