Boys will be boys!!

Well, last night I was flipping through a magazine and saw Dean heading over to the dog's water and food bowls, which is not uncommon, he continued there and back and I turned around to see him with a wet head. I dont know what got into him but he is grossed out by nothing! To make matters worse he had already thrown some of the dog's food in the water bowl before he bathed himself in it, so he not only has slobbery water on his head but soggy dog food pieces.
Oh, how I know Dad is having a ball watching this!!

We're Back in Action!

Ok so we couldn't retrieve any of my stuff from the old hard drive. I know, I am trying not to think about it and move on but at least I have been doing this blog for long enough that I have most of my very favorite pictures on here. If any of you have any great pics of Dean let me know and maybe I can copy them. I have decided also to make a scrapbook for Dean. I know its mostly for me but who doesnt like looking at a whole book about themselves later in life? Well I know I have a lot of catching up to do so here goes....I've got to warn you, it's a long one. So here's Dean on Memorial Day. We went to Houston Woods with the Hulshults. Here's Daddy and Dean being silly at lunch, and Dean with his mouth full... surprise, surprise. Dean just got a new sand and water table that he just loves so he puts the sand in the water. And yes I know, it is a Cincinnati Reds outfit and no Tony didnt know I had it on him... Go Cubs. Here is Dean at Miriam and Shawn's Rehearsal dinner, it was great because right outside was an awsome playground that Dean spotted right away. This was in one of those playhouses. Daddy lending a helping hand. So we have realized that Dean is not a patient child, not unlike many other children, but when I am fixing dinner he likes to pull up a chair and watch/help. Well not only does he like raw tomatoes but we discovered he likes raw corn too. here he is chowing down.

Here's Tony, Dean, Uncle Nate and Cousin Brayden on Father's Day. We went to play with Ginny and Evan and Sarah one afternoon and Dean loves their new swingset. THis is the first time he has worn and actually kept sunglasses on. He's so cool. We have come to the conclusion that we can no longer buy anything without sharing with Dean. Tony stopped and got an icee the other day and Dean pretty much claimed it as his own. I suppose he is going to force us to eat better since we can't sneak anything past him.

Dean has started to bat his eyes and we all think its funny so here he is, being cute.

Crashed:(

Well I havent been blogging lately because my computer crashed! Yes, I have already had a melt down...or two. All of Dean's pictures and videos are on there and my church newsletter stuff, not to mention everything else I have done for the past 5 years. I think I have reason to have a bit of a break down. Anyway, it is still under construction so there is no telling when I will be back in business. But fear not, I am still taking tons of pictures and videos (probably more now to make up for it) so you will be caught up hopefully soon.

Updates

Well it's been a while so I have lots of updates to share.  First off we had Mother's Day so it was a nice day spent with the family.


Great Grandpa is feeding Dean some whipped cream... as you can see Dean is a big fan:)

Just one of the guys hanging out on the couch.

Uncle Rigo sharing a leaf with Deano.

Ok so the other day Dean was standing on a chair at the kitchen counter as I was making dinner. And as usual he always needs to know what is going on, and he wanted to see the fresh tomato that I had in my hand so I handed it to him and got busy doing something else and turned back around, this is what happened...


Now on to this weekend. Mom and Natalie came down Thursday for the big Trenton Yard Sales on Friday and Saturday so Dean got to spend some quality time with the Gmas. Unfortunately Dean developed a fever Friday evening and it had spiked to 104.8 degrees so we saw the Dr. right away and he explained to us that it was a virus called Adenoid Virus. It causes a very high fever, a rash all over the body and diarrhea. Well the good news is that it was just a virus and the bad news was we didn't have any medicine to give him and we just had to 'ride it out'. He was just pitiful, it was so sad to see him with a bright red rash all over but he was a trooper though. Rigo and Amanda came over Saturday and played with Dean and watched movies to help distract him from feeling so bad. Thankfully he is now over it and back to normal again:) I know I'm happy:)



Ahhh... Happy again:)

Mohawk Madness!

Well it is obvious that Dean inherited Tony's naturally curly hair (he looks just like Tony's 1 year picture).  I think it's adorable but Tony feels for him.  Anyway, the weather must do a number on it because his hair just curls in the middle.  I call it his faux-hawk.  Its pretty cute....  ok so I helped it a  tiny bit, but it really does curl like that on its own in the front and sides.

Happy Retirement Pappy!

Deano loves his Pappy...

especially when he gives him first taste of the cake:)

Nanny dancing with Dean at the party.


Tony and I had to stop at Home Depot yesterday and it was the first time I let Dean run free in the home improvement store and he went nuts! He loved it, there was so much to get into in such little time. Here he is deciding which hook to get:)


Ginny and Evan came over tonight for dinner and Dean and Evan were just running back and forth into the kitchen and back to the couch. They would just laugh together. It was really cute.

A Little of Everything

Dean is enjoying a trip to Young's Dairy.

Uncle Dray and Dean checking out a bird.


Here is Dean at the Cincy Zoo, they have a train ride and Dean LOVES trains so we had to ride it. I have a membership now so you will probably be seeing lots more zoo pictures throughout the year. And if anyone wants to join us I get one free guest too:)

Dean and Daddy watching the Rhino roll over.

They have about 4 or 5 peacocks that are loose so we got to see one with all the feathers out. Dean just stared at him.
