Dyl-Pickle turns 12!

It's hard to believe our little guy is now 12 years old!! You've all heard the story (if not, you can view it on his past birthday blogs, or just ask :}) of his miraculous entry into life, and how he was a fighter from that very moment (well, from the moment he was conceived; but, that's a whole 'nother story! :}). Though bringing all 3 of our kids into this world was evidence of the true miracle of birth; Dylan, in particular, was determined to get here as early as possible & gave us quite a scare! There were concerns he may have some medical/learning issues with being so premature; but, this has not been a factor at all. Now, if I could blame his over-curiosity to that, I would! He really is a smart kid though (sometimes too much for his own good! :}). It really does just seem like yesterday that his cute little self came into this world, certainly doesn't feel like it's been 12 years, I can promise you that!

He's big into the book series right now, Diary Of A Whimpy Kid. So that was the theme of his birthday. Between getting the rest of the books he didn't have, and getting to take his friends to the movie that had just came out, I think we got it covered.
Grandma & Grandpa came over to enjoy some birthday time. Toby LOVES it when Grandpa comes over & gives him extra loving! :}

No, he didn't get clothes from Justice (which is a little girl's clothing store...Kaley's favorite!). But, we had fun making him believe we did! :}
I think he was most excited about all the cash he got! Too bad he hasn't mastered the art of saving quite yet! But, he's been happy to take many runs to the gas station instead!

Happy Birthday Dyl-Pickle, WE LOVE YOU!! :}
