Long Time Comin....

Wow has it been a while since I've updated the blog! Things have been crazy busy around the Rockwell house! I will give a re-cap of what has been going on. We were able to have Dylan more than what we expected in the month of May. We had him pretty much the entire month of May and June. We have been loving every second of having him here! There is no doubt that he is supposed to be with us! The court process is going... it is an uphill battle but it will be completely worth it in the end! We got two four-wheelers from my in-laws and they are so much fun! We went on a ride on Saturday and we all loved it! There is no doubt that four-wheeling will be a frequent event for us. Of course Real Salt Lake games are a must in this household. We got zoo memberships with my sister-in law and so that has been a frequent visit for the family. Dylan LOVES going and seeing all the animals! I love that we can do it as a family, that it is educational, and I get some excercise walking all over the place :) Yesterday we threw Ted a suprise birthday party (a little early so that Dylan could be there). It was so much fun! Today is our 7 month anniversary! Its crazy how fast these last 7 months have gone by! We definetely have our ups and downs. But there is no one I would rather go through these experiences with then Ted. He is seriously my rock. Whenever I am down and discouraged he always lifts me up and knows exactly what to say to make me feel better! I love him so much! Dylan is growing and amazes me how smart he is! He is seriously the funniest kid ever! I am so lucky to be his mom! There is no greater feeling then when he comes in the morning, snuggles up to me, and says, "Your the best mom ever!" Completely melts my heart into a huge puddle! Before I met Ted I never would have thought that I would marry someone with kids. But I can honestly say that I couldn't imagine life any other way! I love washing his cute little clothes (they are always dirty- but are still so cute), I love having kids toothpaste in the bathroom (just not all over the sink), I love having little boys toys all over the house (except when I step on them), I love just having his sweet spirit around me. He and I get to spend a lot of time together and I cherish those precious moments with him. Today he had to go back to his moms house. Due to summer parenting time, we don't get to see Dylan for three weeks. It is so difficult to say goodbye to him! Today when I dropped him off he just started crying because he didn't want to leave. Completely broke my heart into a million pieces! I had to tell him these three weeks will be awful, but it will be worth it in the end when we have him forever! Ted and Dylan are by far the best thing that has ever happened to me! Now here are some pics of recent events- Enjoy :)

Throwback Thursday

So I have missed quite a bit of Dylan's childhood. I see pictures of him and think to myself, man he keeps growing up :( Even over the past year he has grown up so much. When Dylan was born he was 2 lbs 10 oz. There is no doubt that he is a little miracle baby! I have seen pictures when we was born, and man was he TINY! We took him to the doctor the other day and they said that he is very very lucky that he has no problems being born so premature. I love this little boy more than words can describe! He is my little buddy! He can always make me smile! I love how everywhere we go he wants to hold my hand (Im glad thats still cool... for now). I love how he loves to cuddle with me- no better feeling in the world! I love that there are toys in my bathtub. I love the drawings and school work all over my fridge. I love his cute little pants, jammies, socks, shirts, etc. I love having kids toothpaste all over my sink. I love having to buy vitamin gummies for him. I love helping him (well holding his hand) while dad pulls out his loose teeth. I love watching him grow and learn. I love seeing the little man that he is becoming. I can't say that I love the pee all over the toilet seat, but we are working on that lol! All and all, I just love him! I am so lucky to be his mommy! I wouldn't trade anything! Here are some pics from when he is about 4 to current. I will have to get some older ones at another time. Enjoy :)

Birthdays :)

Its so fun that mine and Dylan's birthdays are exactly a week apart. This year we have him on his birthday, so we had to celebrate my birthday a week early. He was seriously so confused why we were celebrating my birthday a week early. When I explained to him that I wanted him to be there for my party he understood lol. When I told him we were going to have a combined party for the both of us, he got so giddy! We loved sharing our birthdays together! He was spoiled (as always) and will get the rest of his presents on his actual birthday. I got a digital camera (which I have wanted for years). I have a nice SLR, but it is so big to carry around. With my new point and shoot it will be so much more convenient. Thanks to all those that came! It was a great birthday party!

 He makes my heart melt!

 Trying out his new bike!
