The Hirschi Family

So I know it was just Christmas and I should be posting those pictures, but I wanted to do Dylan's birthday more. I can't believe how fast this year has gone and Dylan is already 1 year old! We had a couple celebrations for him: one at each of the grandparent's houses and one here. This was my first attempt at making a birthday cake in a different shape. I'm excited with how it turned out. Dylan's own cake 5 minutes later... I'm actually impressed it's only on his face and not in his hair and everywhere! Jaxon knew we were wrapping Dylan's present downstairs so when we turned our backs for a second, he ran down and was so excited when we found him next to the unwrapped slide wanting to go up and down on it. Instead, he had to help me rewrap it and wait for Dylan. Dylan loves it almost as much as Jax! Mom had some kazoos that Dylan loved making noise with! These last 3 are of us eating that day at Bubbas in Jackson after swimming. Think the boys wer...

Last night, we went to the see the lights in Ogden and all the Christmas villages lit up. It finally felt like winter. Even though there was no snow on the ground, we dug out all the kid's snowclothes and bundled them up tight! Jaxon was shy at first of course because there were a lot of people around, but towards the end he ran around with the other kids looking in all the little houses trying to find a train. Sorry about the low quality pictures. One of these times I'm gonna have to remember my camera and not just have to use my camera phone! I think their favorite part of the night though was going to Arctic Circle afterwards for ice cream. Jaxon got the normal size and Dylan got the kiddie cone. Next time we might have to upgrade Dylan's though. I think he could've eaten his and Jaxon's!

We had a great halloween. We did some trick or treating at the mall, watched a cool reptile show and played with some friends. Here are our favorite pics from the week. This snake was huge! Jaxon wanted no part in it, but Dylan sure wanted to play!

Last month was quite the month. We all took our turns having the stomach flu and were housebound for like 2 weeks. Poor little Dylan though couldn't fight it off so on day 7 of not keeping anything down, he had to go to the hospital to get hooked up to an IV for what we thought was a few hours- maybe overnight. It was so sad to see my baby hooked up to an IV and being treated like a pin cushion. He was such a trooper though. I was anticipating him being strapped down to a bed or something so an IV could stay in him. Instead it looked like a little cast 'cause they had to wrap it so much so he wouldn't play with it. Well, 2 nights later, he was finally able to go home. Now I am happy to report that even though he got down to 16.4 pounds, at his checkup yesterday he was 18.4! He eats so much food now- probably as much as Jaxon. Except for the whole not sleeping through the night still, we are doing well! Dyan threw up on my clothes that I wore there. And since we were told...

This is a test:  I'm trying to see if I can post to my blog!
