Life gets in the way!

Look at our cute little girly sleeping. We have had a rough week here. Dylan got another ear infection and then Lauren got it, too. Luckily Dylan's wasn't too bad and he slept fine. Lauren, on the other hand, was not happy. She had a fever and was very uncomfortable. Poor girl. It's hard on everyone when the baby is sick.
We dog sat for my in-laws last week. Dylan loved having them here. (And no, we do not need a dog!) Since the weather was nice, I sent him outside with the dogs everyday to get some energy out. He usually has a love/hate relationship with Pepper, but this week they loved eachother.
I tried out the timer on my camera while we were playing. I think this picture turned out really well! I don't think I have many pictures of me and Dylan.
Daddy came home from work and brought Lauren outside. She was happily swinging in her swing, which she loves! (Thanks Heather! You are a lifesaver!)
Last weekend, my friend Jenny got married! Yeah! She was beautiful!

Daddy and Lauren at the wedding. She did such a great job at the reception and other than the blowout, the wedding too!

She decided to start early! J/K I know she'll be a great mom when the time comes! So pretty!
Dylan didn't get a nap that day, so he was really clingy. Jenny could still make him laugh! I love their faces in this shot!
Last week, we had some friends over to make cookies! They were so cute! Dylan was really excited and loved it! We'll have to do it more often, since it's getting too cold to go outside. We went to feed the fish yesterday and were freezing!
Dylan wanted to show off his cookie. He was so proud of them! Say cheese!
We are hopefully getting better around here! I really miss updating my blog more often! I guess life just gets in the way of things! I have a lot going on right now. I started a card exchange in my ward at church and I'm working with some other women to prepare our craft day the end on November. It is hard work, but totally worth it. It's been nice getting to know more people at church with this activity.
Ricky had a business meeting down in Indy earlier this week and got a hotel for the night. We decided to go down to spend the night with him, since he was so close. We got to go swimming and enjoyed a night away from our everyday life. It was really nice. Speaking of getting away, Ricky has a week off of work in November and we were going to try to get away for a few days. Any suggestions of fun, but cheap little getaways?

I'm so glad that the swing helps! It was a lifesaver for us too...

You're kids are so cute and you look great, too. :)

As for inexpensive get aways, when Elena was about Lauren's age we went to St. Louis for the weekend. The zoo is free and so are some of the museums. We had a lot of fun. Whatever you decide to do, have fun! :)
