DALLIN - THE CHEEKY MONKEY

My little Dallin is no longer LITTLE Dallin...he puts on weight like a bee on honey!..and it's not like he eats all the time....his new thing is to squint his eyes and puff his cheeks for photos....i've got the evidence to prove it! he's growing so fast it almost makes me clucky just looking at him. He loves to say 'Dank oo' and 'Oh No' while shaking his finger at Maeson! He's a little sick at the moment and has extremely red cheeks...which just seems to be Dallin's nature...you'd swear my son got into my rouge!!! ha ha ha.

HORRIFIED BEYON BELIEF!

Maeson has pretty much reached most of the exciting 'FIRSTS' that all parents look forward to. He's quite lucky being the first child... every milestone he reached was celebrated and praised beyond belief. Maeson has been attending pre-school for just over a year now..and of course George & I were concerned pre-occupied with all the "WHAT IF's"..

what if he gets hit? what if he doesn't fit in? what if he's extremely naughty? and now our worse WHAT IF has happened. Maeson has learnt a swear word! Our once innocent and sweet spoken boy is GONE! and he has used the word on quite a few occasions....in the frozen section of the supermarket, where I debated walking away from the trolley and running for the doors!...during the opening prayer of our Temple Committee meeting...I felt such horror my hand flew across his mouth and I held on with all my might! even at a traffice light where the right hand lane cars had a green arrow, but all Maeson could see was the Red light!....... We're at a loss on how to handle this one...do we use the ancient abusive SOAP IN THE MOUTH that our parents used in the olden times? Or do we go with the politically correct and pretend to make no notice of the word..hoping that it exits his vocabulary as quick as it entered?...... unfortunately for our Maesy...it all depends on the day and the mood of his parents!!!

CATCHING ON

I'm still slowly catching onto this blogging thing.....Tia is really really pushing me to do it..i'm feeling slightly BULLIED!! ha ha ha.
Please invite or add your details so I can add you to my page.

OK,
We're trying to keep up with the lastest technology and keeping in touch with everyone since we live so far away. We have a myspace, Bebo and even a facebook account and just couldn't risk not becoming a blogger!
A lot has happened in the last few years. We got married April 30, 2004 and have since had 2 boys, Maeson 3 (Feb 8th, 2005) and Dallin 1 (Jan 8th, 2007). They are the highlight of our life and we never go a day without a tantrum, a smile or a cuddle...we're really a mixed bag! But we love it. If only we could share them with more family!!!
George works for the Department of Corrections as a Corrections officer in the Auckland Remand Prison and Kimberlee does purchasing/ Office Administration for a frameless glass company.
When we get a chance we will post some pictures of our family. and update more about ourselves.
