| Early morning gifts. |

| Thank you hugs. |
Dylan's special day was tons of fun! Dad surprised us and took the fam out for doughnuts before school. We went to Dunkin' Doughnuts which was fun b/c we often call Dylan, DD. They have the same nick name. Ben took him to school with doughnuts for his class and I met him for lunch & stayed for recess.

| Silly Dilly! |
 |
| He's a free flyin', big smilin' swinger now! |
 |
| I love technology....always & forever! |
It was such a great mom moment to see him confident at school, doing exactly what he should be doing, and listening to his teacher. He was so proud to show me how he learned to run & hop on the swings to start & pump all by himself. We even taught his buddy Ian how to do the same. I came back a little later to volunteer in his class and help in the computer lab, which is now our weekly date. There is a special place in heaven for kindergarten teachers!
After school we had Ayden to play and for dinner. We had Dylan's favorite, spaghetti & shrimp. We also had rootbeer floats to celebrate. D received a Super Mario bros tshirt and very soft blanket for his bed. He also got new super hero action figures to go with the batcave and a new star wars leapster game. His favorite by far was the wii Mario Smash bros game. Grandma & Papa sent him a package of candy & Battleship which has been a lot of fun, too. Aunt Dani & Uncle Jonny sent a great Waldo travel book & star wars pancake molds, the Stock cousins sent a Diddy Kong guy & Mario checkers game, Christensen boys sent a light up lego set & sticker book. He was spoiled!

| While the boys are away at school, Ruby will play. :) |
 |
| Pool Party! |
We had Dylan's birthday party on Saturday afternoon/evening because there was a primary talent show. All his neighborhood buddies and the cousins came over to swim, eat pizza & cake & play. The kids decorated the house with their Mario drawings & we had mustaches everywhere. We played Super Mario, Super Mario, What Time Is It? (After Dad tried to play 500 w/ them & tears ensued). We ended with a scavenger hunt to find their gold coins and goodie bags. It was a hit!
 |
| Bowzer captured Mario, Luigi & their gold coins. The kids had 6 clues to find them. |

| Goodie bags & thank yous! |
Dylan is turning into such a great boy. I'm so impressed with the way he's handled going to school all day. He's been chosen as Student of the Week already, and his PE teacher let him get water first for doing so great last week. He always tells me the stars on his papers mean "he's awesome." And I'd have to agree. He's really been doing a great job of minding the first time and getting his homework done quickly & without complaint. Dylan AWESOME Murdock, that's my boy!
