5 Months!!

Turin turned 5 months last week..it has gone by soooo fast!! He is still not super content but he has more better days than not and his naps are still HORRIBLE and are almost getting shorter and less and less...don't know what to do about that but I have hope it will change when he gets a little bit older.
*He rolls from tummy to back.
*He is almost rolling from his back to tummy..he gets so close and then gets all excited and rolls back. He has done it a few times before we left for Arizona but has not done it since.
*We started feeding him rice cereal..he is slowly getting the hang of it and likes it.
*He is getting better at sitting up by himself with out tipping over.
*He loves his sisters and loves them paying attention to him.
*He likes to lay on his back and grab his feet(its soooo cute)

He really is a sweet little guy and loves to be loved and held and snuggle..it is hard to not pick him up when he starts crying which could be why he likes to be held a lot too but he is just a doll and I give in much easier than I did with the girls!!







For about a week he was puckering his lips all the time!!

We got out his saucer and he likes it a lot. He stays in this and his johnny jumper the longest.

Dillon's Graduation!!

The first two nights in Mesa we stayed with our friends who lived down the street from us and who were also in our ward. Sydney and their oldest daughter became such good little buddies. Claire was Sydney's first real best friend. Sydney missed her the whole time we have been gone and was so excited to come back and see her again. THANKS SO MUCH Ben and Cindy for letting us crash at your place!! Hope it won't be too long before we can see you again!!

Such Good Buddies!!


Dillon FINALLY graduated from school!! ahhh we felt like this day would never happen but the last 3 years really did go by fast once we looked back on it!! He got his Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy from AT Still University. He has worked VERY hard while being in school and is so relived to be done. I am SO PROUD of him and really am in awe for how smart he is and what he is capable of doing with such a heavy load to worry about! We drove down to Arizona so he could walk in the ceremony(he had no choice! ha) After being there for only 4 days in that heat it makes me so glad we chose to move his last year of school!! His parents and older sister came to support him and we had a great time seeing them(especially Sydney since she got all the attention) Now Dillon is studying to take his license test and applying for jobs so I will keep you posted where we will move next!!

Dillon, his parents and older sister Crystal

The graduate!!




I did not like the way my pictures turned out in that building..they all looked so shiny cause it was bad lighting...grrr there was no room to go anywhere after the ceremony ended cause everyone stayed inside for pictures since it was so stinkin hot outside!!

After the graduation we went to Hard Rock Cafe there in Phoenix..it was Yummy!!



Hanging out at the pool and with Dillon's family in the hotel!!

DISNEYLAND!!

So right before we left for Arizona we decided to surprise Sydney and take her to Disneyland on the way back home!! It was her first time there and we hadn't been since our honeymoon so it was fun!! We told her the day before we drove to California and she was so excited. I am glad we just got to take her cause we would have never been able to do it with London and Turin. Thanks MOM and Jen for watching them..your the BEST!! I would never want to go in the summer time again and doing both parks in one day is way too much and not all of it can be done but we tried and got a lot in and had a fun time with Sydney.



Sydney was so excited to meet Ariel(her favorite) but of course when we went to see her they tell us you can only see her for breakfast and lunch!! GRRR i had no idea so we missed it. Sydney was so sad but we did get to ride her new ride which was really cute!!


Waiting to see Mickey Mouse took FOREVER!! grrr We gad to go through his whole house which was huge..you cannot tell from outside...it was horrible and Sydney does not even really care about him! ha






waiting in line to meet the princesses!!


Inside Sleeping Beauty's castle.

I love the Dumbo ride and it's of one Sydney's favorite movies..i forgot how short the rides are for the amount of time you stand in line but it was worth it!!

Meeting Princess Tiana


In the hotel the night before wishing we were at DisneyLand!!

Standing outside Rapunzel's(Tangled's) house wishing the line to see her wasn't so long. We never did get to see her...bummer!! Maybe next time.



Sydney with her all time FAVORITE character from a Goofy Movie...Max!! She about died when he came out and her face turned all red. It was hilarious to watch. She would not go up to him alone. I had to go with her and she could barely speak. She also loves Goofy but of course when we saw him he was running away back behind some doors so we could not get a picture. At least she got to see him I guess!!
