HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My favorite time of the year is Fall. I love the crisp cool days, the beautiful colors as the leaves change, decorations, picking and craving pumpkins, the wonderful smells emanating from my kitchen, and of course Halloween!

I figured I only had one year left of picking out my children's costumes before they all get their own opinions :) So this year since I have 4 kids I went with the Wizard of Oz Theme. I am so happy that they turned out and I actually got some good pictures! ENJOY!

So I am a slacker!

So our youngest son, Bridger Pearce was born July 21, 2010. Yes, it is October and I am a slacker! He weighed 7.1 lbs and was 20 1/2 inches. He fit perfectly in between the twins, Hunter was 7.3 lbs and Ruger was 6.7 lbs. However, Bridger was the longest of all my kids. Not only was he the longest this kids feet, toes and fingers are CRAZY long! His little feet were the same length as Ryan's pointer finger!

From the beginning he has been a little stinker! From being wedged under my ribs and taking 12 LONG minutes plus a vacuum to get him out to having acid reflux which of course leads to not sleeping. However, the absolute JOY he brings into our lives is definitely worth it. I now know that the Dial clan is complete. My children are my world!

Family Pics




These pictures will soon be outdated come July 21st!! My mother in law wanted to have family pictures before some of Ryan's siblings moved away this summer, so much to my hesitation ( I hate taking pictures while I am pregnant, especially 8 months pregnant) we joined the fam and these are what we came out with. I am pretty impressed, minus myself and the big belly that I tried very hard to conceal with Hunter :)

My TOUGH little guy!


So Sunday after church we put the boys down to nap just like we do every day. Well Hunter has mastered getting out of his crib with ease. Unfortunately after watching Hunter, Ruger decided to give it a try. Of course the first time resulted in our first broken arm! After spending 2 1/2 hours in the ER he was put into a splint and we were told to see Dr. Woods, the Orthopedic Surgeon, the next day to make sure everything was okay and to be casted.


After a rough night we saw Dr. Woods Monday afternoon. He double checked the x-rays and said it was a nice clean break so NO surgery...YEAH!!! The Doc casted him just below the shoulder and sent us on our way. Mom will have to endure the next 4 weeks and this too shall pass!

Ruger has been such a good little boy. I have been very impressed with his pain tolerance and patience for that matter of being poked and prodded. He is still my happy little boy that is adapting to using his left hand very well. We have ALL learned our lessons, Ryan and I bought 2 toddler beds yesterday and now are trying to teach the boys how to sleep in those. It has been a rough couple of nights, but it is bound to get better, right?
