Growing Up

 Hudson curious about trading! Justin teaching him the importance of math statistics & probability.

Sharky reading Calvin & Hobbes.

Math problem then handstand. 

Calvin & Hobbes moment.

Dylan loves to lay on his stomach and read.

Lesson on how to put the paper towels on. He thought he didn't know how.....you're an engineer at heart! You CAN do it.

So into the funnies.

Again, laying on his stomach in the kitchen.

Look who got Invisalign.

Now they both have it.

CatDog

Yep, we have a zoo.
 He puts his paws and wants me to pick him up and carrying him around. He loves it, so do I!

Dinner time.

Love that they play and get along. Buddies!

Animal lover!

Awe!

Treat time.

Taste testing.

Is it time yet?

Yep, they may be getting a little fat from all the treats! 

Baby Blue.

Buddy

 
Buddy has been coming to hang out everyday now.

Leary but curious.

So pretty.

Dinosaur?

Hand feeding.

Good morning.

HBDD14

Happy Birthday Dylan!
What a perfect Dylan day. Wake up, read his "normal" way of laying down with a blanket either on the sofa or ground. Breakfast cake and Creed gift. Games and gifts throughout the day. Cake, pizza and ice cream celebration with his Dungeon and Dragons class, and ending the day with Parkour and games and his last gift when he got home.  I love our tradition of birthday celebration in the morning so we can celebrate the "birthDAY" all day long with gifts spread out throughout the day vs all at once. This is so fun and they love it. Makes the whole day, each event and gift exciting.

Cheers to the BIG 14 and a fun, relaxing day to celebrate you being you!
Thanks to all for making Dylan's day bright!

Relaxing Bday morning.

Breakfast Chocolate cake with yogurt and Nutella cookies.

14!

I love you.

Is that what you wanted?

Yes! Excited to start playing his new game.

Big Dad and Nana.

Is that what you wanted?

Love the card.

Gifts from all!

Gaming mouse desk pad.

Babi.

Loves Barnes and Noble, Valorant and Steam GCs. Anything game related.
