already!?

I know everyone says it. 

But it's true. 

I don't know where the time went! 
I just can't believe that
Dallin is 2!

----------------------------------------------

 It's seems like yesterday I was so excited for him to be here....especially since he waited 40 hours to come out after my water broke. 
Dallin, 30 minutes old, and some proud, exhausted parents.
 He was born at 11:07 p.m. on August 15th, 2008
15 hours old meeting the sibs. :)


--------------------------------------------------------------------

To celebrate his arrival, we started the day out with our traditional birthday breakfast:

cold cereal.

It's a bit unusual, but boxed cereal is a special treat here.
The kids spend months trying to decide which kind they want. 

He loved my cornflake choice...boogers and all. ;)


 Dallin didn't know any different so he just got what I was craving as I walked the cereal isle....cornflakes of all things. Dang they were yummy!

----------------------------------------------
It was Thursday and I figured I should do something for Dallin's birthday. My poor 3rd child.

I threw a last minute gathering together. We had some in town family there + good friends whom live close by, the Salazars, since I knew they'd be o.k. with a same day invite.


Dallin thoroughly enjoyed himself and was shocked to realize that he was finally allowed to eat the cake Patrick had made the day before.

I loved to see his excitement opening a few gifts. His favorite gift was a fake birthday cake set.

I am just glad Angela could help me take some lovely pics. :)


To make his big day even more special, he kept underwear dry all day for the first time ever.



That's a big to do around here because he has been potty trained for 2 months.....

{BUT}


Underwear usually only stays on for 20 minutes because he just treated it like a diaper.

Consequently, he's usually neeked OR wearing pants commando style.

Yeah, that gets awkward for folks.

I'm so pleased he's ***HOPEFULLY*** done being the underwear-less wonder! ;)

Happy Birthday
to my sweet little Dallin!
