Smiling and calling for "dada."

Turning the gears.

Looking through the window to see who is turning the gears from the other side - it was Daddy.

Family Photo Attempt

Last year we took some great family pictures at our church Easter celebration. We tried to do so again this year, but didn't have much luck.

Me and my sweet Dawson.

Missing Tooth

Dawson's lost his first tooth!!! And he did literally loose it. It came out at the park and when we were looking at it he dropped it. We tried valiantly to find it, but couldn't find the tiny thing. Dawson reassured me that he had more teeth that he would loose and I could save.

Sleepover

Dawson had his first sleepover at Kaelin's house. They were both so excited and had such a good time. They ran around and played, had pizza, built a fort, watched a movie and had popcorn (in their fort), and finally settled down on a big sleeping pad in the living room floor. They giggled for a while, but finally drifted off to sleep. What a great experience for them!!

Abilene Zoo

Checking out the alligator.

The best part of the Abilene Zoo is going up on the bridge to feed the giraffes - look at those long black tongues!!

The Rock

Brady loved playing on this rock at the zoo. And he even took the time to smile nicely for a picture.
