Patrick & Sara Visit
We had a short visit from Patrick and Sara this weekend. Dillon and Carly both had a ball with their big brother and sister! In fact, they are both sleeping hard right now recovering!
Friday night we went to Joel's. Sushi on the lake - it felt like summer! I am counting down the days until we get the boat out, but I digress! Here are a couple pictures from the weekend. Good times had by all!

Breakfast with Santa
The kids and I had breakfast with Santa with my friend Annie and her boys last Saturday! We had a great time and did pretty good considering we were out-numbered and Annie's 6+ months pregnant! There were tons of children, but it looked like everyone had a great time! I know our children did!
Here's Dillon eating breakfast before Santa arrived!! That's his friend Caleb beside him.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUnSn4Vc_jU57UeyUmC52U3dEBCFKS7zHrmAVpqfJ6q8U30snv2bLY51j14Sn1dX1vkzll09Gb0vpK2aIiUdIdA6eJ3e6oS80dYD_urlp8Lg_sewRX_gB_KDpOjh7IC5rrpPR5Cow_wFLU/s400/P1050514.JPG)
Here are the boys getting ready to decorate a big ole sugar cookie!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7IMpzfXahWHCFlz5W0uvCTf8v89tMPE6pTQt98XBpjonz8fs0BxEYDttgnkyZsmSZPQcGWOUrYLett9b3RnIIUISUsQS6diaEbM76xqN5h691AWtCOe5PfF_sZlz4TvIhdsnAkIWUJot/s400/P1050521.JPG)
Here's Miss Carly sitting on Santa's lap. She loved it! Santa did not! :) She kept pulling his beard and it was stressing him out. It cracked me up!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeRRR8gKe1Do8eERHZXPtlmAhsxHkKZaVi-w_Y8OUVUo0KGhm5gISV870UWJ7Y2mlA0d2J7HJfDPfjAgB9q4hC5-idDvlMkcsRDrE0It3ylyG3-CC_FSwUXlvVMJhmgDfHe2LYPtjlowuN/s400/P1050527.JPG)
And here we all are! Dillon didn't want to sit on Santa's lap - I think he was a little overstimulated by all that was going on!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_zn8EWSo76sa5LoS7aCO5P7hBFWchiNFbZaRGI6We1HrOrX2pT2Wv04JFmXblHhmBywLv18XKjVR7wX_GM8I_Hw9d8pGLDMwtIHWqW7A3ye2051Eu3LN8KZs956I5BhrkfgssghSWbSA/s400/P1050529.JPG)
And finally, here are the boys enjoying the cookies they worked so hard on! As you can see, it was a great day weather-wise, so we were able to take a break from the crowd and get outside for a few!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0F1A3UBH55Rcrac9PGX3U86BTZgiuPMcQDwGCT9C9Ajhtu1NGD6HSW_97iZNStjF50GoWJYL05DfngzXyeWzVljfCWet1SnJRo3Nlw5S1zyKAOnt9-bZ2LWl4dCkp5hvrZ1YNAiZgeCqf/s400/P1050530.JPG)
There were other crafts set up for the children to do as well. Carly and Dillon made a little tile of their handprints and Dillon made a t-shirt of a santa hat. Very fun!

Dillon - last week being 1!!!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi24h4avUYFQLBKTdZ-ATBWIeQvswv7Zmm4wuNgtNWqfD9WpALVxGpdBHSPPjLFcwBdJv4yCud9Jy4nN9OkZw9QoSCwL6jxvh2KDRkTAv1bE0FhJlYfcV5crv5vlo8Tq8-GHKwoKM3eBAk0/s400/P1050351.jpg)
Dillon turns two on Wednesday - some days I cannot believe he is only 24 months!! He just amazes me daily! Let me tell you a few things he has said over the past couple weeks.
On the way home from picking Dillon up from school recently, California Girls was on the radio. I looked in the rear view mirror to see Dillon's hands waving in the air - - - the song was on the course "West coast represent, put your hands up" ... I didn't realize he was listening to the words on the radio!! I had tears coming out of my eyes I was laughing so hard! I was not expecting that!
Last week Mom and I caught Dillon counting on his fingers - he counted to FIFTEEN!! 15! He's not even 2 yet!!! Is that not insane??
This past weekend we went flying and camping. As we were leaving the campground, Dillon was already in the plane and I was climbing into the seat. Due to all the camping gear, Dillon needed to sit on my lap instead of by himself. When I got in, I pretended to sit on Dillon's lap and he said "excuse me Mommy". It cracked me up!
Then Thursday this week Dillon was taking a bath and I asked him what he wanted for his birthday. Thinking he didn't really know what I was talking about since he's only had 1 birthday and I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember it, I tried to help him out. I said "do you want a Thomas the train??" and Dillon responded with "and a helicopter!" How did he know what I was talking about and how did he remember seeing a toy helicopter at Target the day before??
Last night we went to Winston-Salem after work/school to pick up Carly (Mom had a hair appointment, so headed home early). When we were leaving he said to Mom "see you Sunday!" ... LOL She always says that to him when she leaves on Fridays, but again - who knew he was listening and how did he know to say it?? CRAZY!
When I ask Dillon how old he's going to be this week he says either "4" or "5" ... I think he might be on to something! HA HA! So cute!!! In preparation for his big day, Dion took him to get a haircut this morning (his 4th). Dion said he did great, and we think it's his best hair cut yet! ISN'T HE PRECIOUS?? I can't believe my baby is going to be an official toddler Wednesday! :(

Skinny Jeans - Day 1
Well, I'm almost threw my first day of the Skinny Jeans Challenge! So far so good ... I guess!! I haven't cheated today (whoo-hoo!) and I did work out, so we'll call that a success. This morning's gym session was hard - kick your butt hard! But that's good ... if you're gonna do it, might as well go all out, right? I only fell once ... ha ha!! I was doing lunges with 15 lbs weights in each hand and when I went down, I went too low and couldn't get back up! What was the trainer response? You might think it was "oh, too much weight?" or "are you okay, stephanie?" or perhaps "take a breather for a minute and then get back up." No, no, it was none of those. She said "that one doesn't count" ... NICE! This is going to be hard!! :) But like I said, if you're gonna do it, might as well do it all the way!
For those interested (and for my records years to come - ha!) here's what I ate today:
6:30am - hard boiled egg & 1/2 banana
8am - (after workout) berry berry good recovery shake
11am - string cheese and a bag of raw veggies
2pm - greek yogurt and strawberries & blueberries
5:45pm - 1/2 grilled chicken breast, broccoli and 1/2 sweet potato w/ butter
still to come (around 9) - apple with peanut butter
So really you see I am eating. I am not eating carbs though (just the 1/2 sweet potato), and besides the shake (really a smoothie) the only thing I have had to drink is water. HUGEEEE for me ... HUGE! Well, Day 1 almost done ... 55 more to go! :) Bring it on Skinny Jeans!
