Bunch of random thoughts

Guess what I just found out about! Google reader, it is so cool. If you don’t already know it’s a site that checks all your friends’ blogs for you and tells you which have new posts. It’s FREE and really nice. It has already saved me a ton of time. Lol, maybe now I’ll actually put new posts up, instead of just looking at everyone’s site. Maybe, we’ll see.

So, I wanted to post about my anniversary. Ryan and I have been married for 3 years now. So crazy, it seems like much longer and much shorter at the same time. We have been there for each other through a lot all ready; moving to Iowa, what we affectionately call my CRAZY days (I was on the pill, I will NEVER do that again!), three years of law school, which included, getting engaged, getting married, getting pregnant (way better than being on the pill!) having a baby out of state on vacation (surprise! Here come Kaitlyn!) Ryan having to fly back to Iowa for finals (and missing 2 weeks of his newborns life, that sucked!), getting pregnant again (yea), having a baby (Ah, Emily always so calm, just like the delivery) me being in and out of the hospital like 6 times in 3 months (I think I was WAY over stressed among other things) then having a baby blessing and graduation (yea! Good job babe!) and getting ready to move to Wisconsin all at once, moving to Wisconsin, Ryan taking the bar, Ryan passing the bar (YEA!!!), and Ryan starting to work for real (yea!), and now looking for our first house. It’s been a busy, crazy, wonderful 3 years. I love my husband so much! I couldn’t have done it with anyone else.
Ryan you are my rock. You’re amazing, funny, a great husband and father, incredibly good looking, have a strong and wonderful testimony, and protect and take care of me and the girls so well. I love you so much.
So our anniversary was October 16. We actually got to go on a date!!!! Yes! That is a rare occurrence for us. Ryan got off work really early, so he came home and spent the afternoon with me and the girls. Then we all went out to dinner together at a really yummy Chinese place in town, then we came home and got ready for our date. The girls stayed home with a babysitter and we went to a movie and then went shopping together. We almost had the entire theatre to ourselves. Two other people came in just after the movie started, I was a little bummed, but decided we could share. Darn it. Lol, just kidding. We both really had a nice time. It was great to go out and spend time with my family and then get alone time with my husband. It was a great anniversary.

Well lots has been going on. Here’s some more fun happenings at the Dalton home! Emily is officially sitting now. She is so cute and growing up so quickly! She wants to crawl so badly! I wouldn’t be surprised if she did it before Thanksgiving. So a while ago Kaitlyn had an …um, lets go with adventurous day. When I went to get her out of bed that morning she handed me her poop. What is it with this kid and poop? I don’t know. So I had a wonderful mess to clean up. Then later in the day I was in the living room and Kaitlyn was in her bed room playing, I thought. All of a sudden I heard the sond of the toilet seat opening and hitting the back of the seat. Normally we keep that door closed, well for this reason! So I heard that and thought, oh crap, and ran as fast as I could. This is what I found:



She was so proud of herself too. I barely got her in her room and the door shut before I burst into laughter! An entire box of tampons in the toilet, who would have thought that. Lol, gotta love kids. I’m just glad it was something I’m not really attached too. If it had been a Stephanie Meyer book getting wet again, I would have lost my lid! Oh, the adventures of my Kaitlyn. She certainly keeps me on my toes. So I recently rearranged the girls room, and when I did we found something pretty cool in there.




Yes that is a light switch with in Kaitlyns reach. I don’t think I could have bought her a cooler toy. She loves that she can turn the light on and off whenever she wants. Even if that’s during an Emily diaper change. Oh well, if it keeps her entertained and is safe, why not.

For this one you have to know my sister Julia. She is awesome. Her and I are actually just like Kaitlyn and Emily. We are the two oldest in our family and we are spaced the same apart, 16 months. I’m the older one. Anyway, growing up we have always teased Julia about her booty. We got this adorable picture of Emily. And I have to say, Aunt Julia, I think you have some competion!



Latley Ryan’s been stnding Em up and shaking her booty while singing I’ve got an Aunt Julia booty, Aunt Julia booty, Aunt Julia booty. It’s so cute and funny! We love you Julia!
Julia is also a really good cheerleader (well maybe not at the moment. I don’t think you can do a back flip while pregnant!) so I was playing with Kaitlyn and started teaching her how to do the cheer lift (sorry Jules, I don’t know what it’s really called). Kaitlyn loves it and she looks like a cute little cheerleader. I guess both girls are going to get something from their Aunt Julia.

P.S. Happy Birthday to both my sisters Julia and Mindy who had birthday's last week. We love and miss you both!
