Obama! Obama! Obama!

Barack Obama is now the President Elect!!!!!

Obviously we are very happy here in the Iddings home, we stayed up and watch the coverage all evening to see how it would go, but once he took PA, we both had the feeling it was going to happen, but we kept watching! We stayed up until his Victory Speech! Even Dylan woke up for that...lol....(might have been coincidence), but regardless if felt great to watch this historic event as a family! We had an Obama Election '08 party that consisted of Josh, Dylan and myself, here are the cupcakes Dylan and I made.

We are excited for change and to see what happens in the days ahead!

Halloween Fun

Our internet has been acting up lately, so we havn't been able to post quite as often.

So this one has alot of pictures to catch you all up! :-)

Here are some of the Halloween meals we have been making.

Dylan loves to cook and its a good activity that also makes our meals, so he's doing my job with me, which makes it easier on both of us.

This is our Spiderweb Pizza

And here are our Mummies!

Here are some pictures from Boo at the Zoo.
Dylan had alot of fun, especially since we ran into Ezra and Annika in the parking lot!

Stay tuned for more Halloween pictures and updates! I think I have a few videos coming to.

We miss you guys and love you!

Have a Happy Halloween!

Friday Nights

Last weekend Josh and Dylan went to the football game on Friday night. They both had such a good time, and it was nice to have some time to myself. Well this past Friday night I was invited to go to the football so I went to take some pictures and watch them enjoy themselves. Josh loves to watch the game of coarse, and Dylan likes to yell like the people in the stands (which can be good and bad), but his favorite thing of all is the band, so Josh strategically sits right next to the band, so they both have a great time. I personally thought it was a little cold, and was bored, so we left after the half-time show that Dylan had to stay for, and needless to say I am no longer invited, it is now officially "Boys Night Out".

Here are some pictures of my boys!

Pizza Pizza

Dylan like his mother and grandmother before him loves PIZZA. Earlier in the week we made our own version (much cheaper version that is) of pizza lunchables, which I will post about the next time we do it so I can show you, but last night we decided to make a whole pizza. Dylan loves to help with all the ingredients and its such a great meal to cook with him, because he can do it all.

Last night we made "smiley face" pizza. It was delicious!

Finally an update

Hey everyone. It's been forever since our last update of anything so sorry for that. I haven't had my camera, I left it at my parents house, and without taking pictures I have forgotten to post anything. The pictures seem so essential.

However, today is a post worthy day. We came home from church and were lazy as usual. I was laying in bed and Josh and Dylan were watching football. When Dylan said he had to pee, so Josh told him to go sit on his potty chair instead Dylan went down the hallway and into the bathroom where he decided to put his potty seat on the toilet, climb up and sit down and POOP in the potty all by himself! This was truly a great event! He has been peeing all the time and last night actually made it dry all thru the night, so it looks like good things are to come! We went to get ice cream by the water fountains (Dylan's choice) to celebrate the event! Today was a great day. I am sure many more accidents are still in the future I know he's not trained however this is so remarkable, because Dylan has been scared of pooping in the potty and usually ask for a diaper, so this is a BIG step!!

Happy Birthday Abbie!

HAPPY BITHDAY ABBIE!

We couldn't let this day go by and not say Happy Birthday to you! You are such a good helper when we come home, and Dylan loves playing with you. He ask for you for weeks after we come home. Thank you for being such a good cousin to him! We couldn't love you and miss you more! We hope you had a good party and we wish we could have been there. Your gift is on the way!

Happy Grandparents Day!

HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY!

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. - Alex Haley
And that is what you have done for Dylan. We thank all of you for all the ways you have helped with Dylan and most importantly for loving him unconditionally. Thank you for you love and support. Without you I don't know what we would do. We miss you.
