D's Day

We celebrated Dallin's....aka D's...birthday yesterday. I can't believe he is already 9!! He has been super excited about his birthday!

This is the pogo stick he asked for. He was BEGGING AND PLEADING Sunday for us to let him open it after church. We kept telling him he had to wait until Monday - HIS BIRTHDAY! He cried and thought we were the meanest parents EVER! But, he survived the wait and enjoyed learning how to use it. He is actually pretty good at it now. We are counting down the minutes til we get a broken arm though!! :)

Dallin is an amazing kid. He works very hard and LOVES to work. The minute he walks in the door from school he calls his dad to see where he is so he can head out and help. Because of this he is learning new things so quickly. Dallin can already drive a STICK SHIFT TRUCK and when I have to drive the tractor or anything else that terrifies me I make him go with me because he is a great coach and he isn't scared of the cows like his mommy is! His teacher told us last week at parent teacher conference that he is a delight to have in the classroom because he is just so laid back and easy going. Dallin is a good kid and a great friend to so many other children. He is a great blessing in our lives! Happy birthday Big Guy!! We sure love you!
