My little boy is growing up! Okay the kid was never little right? He was born at 10 pounds 10 years ago and never looked back. It is amazing to me that 10 years ago I only had one kid and my life wasn't crazy in the least. Ah the good old days, just kidding. I wouldn't trade my babies (even if they aren't babies anymore they will always be my babies) for anything.
I had to put some pictures of Dillon as a baby. Does anyone remember this little man? I was tempted to put a picture of Dillon and me when I was wearing a bikini, and looked a million times less like what I do now. But, then I remembered this post was not about me. Heehehehehe.
Dillon has always been the sweetest little boy. He tries very hard for my approval, and I am afraid I don't give it as often as I should. He has a contagious smile. It lights up his whole face.
He is my right had man, and since Jason hasn't been around much lately he has been my big helper with his siblings. He is very responsible and definitely has a ton of oldest child traits.
He got his balloons and was pleased, "you did a good job" he said,"even if none of them have anything to do with sports."
Beckett got a balloon too and he promptly let it go to the ceiling, no chance of me getting that back anytime soon.
Bless his hart I didn't have to make him a cake. He wanted and ice cream cake from DQ.
For his birthday he got his own room. He gets to pick how he wants it painted and what colors. He gets to pick out his bedding and got our queen sized bed. He is just happy he doesn't have to room with Truman anymore. I hope this will make them fight less, miracles happen everyday. He is holding up a vinyl football player he got for his wall. Tune in later to see how his room turns out!
Jason decided everyone needed to give Dillon 10 spankings.
He put up a pretty good fight. Almost everyone got theirs in.
I love my mister man Dillon. I couldn't imagine a better kid. He is so honest and kind, well to everyone but Truman. He is a wonderful son and I am so blessed to have been trusted with him. He is truly wonderful..

Happy Birthday to Dillon He is an awesome, loveable kid! Who wouldn't want their own room. Spencer will be so jealous. He has been lobbying for his own room for years! He kind of has it now cuz Cooper has been sleeping on the futon in the family room for awhile now. Hard to believe it has been 10 years already. Time just whizzes by!
Isn't it weird to have double digit kids...I knew this day would come I just didn't ever think I would feel so old. I hate getting old. It sucks. I would pay money for the bikini shot with you & Dillon. And I am so jealous of you mad cake decorating skills...I don't even attempt I basically beg my kids to want a store bought cake so I don't even have to try. :)
Happy Birthday Mr. Dillon! (That makes it sound like a line from the old TV show "Gunsmoke" - which you will never have seen...)
Anyway, CRAZY that he is 10! Cool that he is such a great helper and lovable guy. He DOES have a smile everytime I see him. Hope that sticks with him through his teens (coming up fast now that he has hit double digits :0)
Exciting that he gets his own room. Can't wait to see the unveiling of said room. Tell him I'm saving 10 spankings for him the next time I see him (Alturas?) Or maybe no telling him, let's let it be a nice surprise...
And bikini, shminini...you look marvelous no matter what you're wearing Missy!
10 Years. OY.
I remember when you visited me in Tucson and were preggo's with him. You were so worried about being a mom, ruining your kids, getting "fat".
4 kids later and you are unfazed by the wild schedules, multiple demands, and many needs of those kids. You are a fabulous mom who loves all those kids.
Yup, Dillon is a keeper, and much of that has to do with how you guys have raised him.
(:
Happy Birthday Dillion!
