Space Ship

Some more improvement in Dylan's speech. 


He has tested out of Early Interventin and they were impressed with his tremendous improvement in his testing.  They will continue with services twice a month rather than once a week until he is 3.  From there if we feel the need we will go through the school district.  Still some getting used to with some words, but once you realize what he says you hear it.  Very proud of him and daddy for doing such a great job!

After a Loooong Car Ride

This is what happens when Dylan is cooped up in a car for too long!!


May need to hold off on any long drives for a um while!

Last day in VT

While Ty was fishing, Eric went to work and Nathan went to school, Karli and I had the 3 boys. We hung out at the home and let them get some energy out. Took some more pics before we headed out.

Though it was quiet all around the boys kept the noise volume at an all time loud haha. It was good to see them play. We may need to let the winter go by before we go up again because their new house is up a dirt/rock hill we will never get up in our cars. Not a fan of the winter season.

Crazy Chaos

This is what it's like to have 4 boys all under the age of 4! Fun to watch, but CRAZY! YIKES! You may want to lower the volume before playing the videos!!




New Home in VT

This past weekend we went to VT to see Karli and crew. It's been a long time since we were last up there. Not sure if we've been up there this year. Either way they moved into a new bigger home about 10 miles north of their previous home (which is now being rented by her mother in law). Huge lot, huge deck, bigger bedrooms & man cave in the basement. We arrived sat afternoon & hung out after a long drive. The next day we went to a fair in Cornish, NH. There were rides, games, food, cows, tractors, cows and tractors (yes I know I repeated those last too).

After we saw everything & I got nauseous from the cow poop smell we headed back to the house where we hung out the rest of the evening.

Had to get a picture of me and my godson, Brennan! Nice day not too hot, but it was cold first thing in the morning and at night. Ty had gone fishing each day.

Food Trucks

After the park and lunch yesterday we met up with Grandparents Estlers at Laurita Winery for the Gourmet Food Truck Invitational. It was packed!! Thousands there with tents, blankets, picnic set ups, etc. People carrying around wine bottles & glasses. Wine tasting, wood carving, horse rides. We each went to a different truck for food. Tyler went to a bistro place that has a restaurant near us, not sure where anyone else went and I went to the Puerto Rican truck for some chorizo sliders. I was in line for about 40 min and I changed my order to Maduros (fried plantains), chorizo empanada and chicken empanada. Was disappointed with the chorizo empanada but the rest was yummy!


After we ate & checked out the barn salvaged stuff we headed indoors to the gorgeous ballroom and had some red sangria. We had a great afternoon. Something to think about doing next year. Looking at other events to attend there or at other wineries/vineyards.

Morning with Mommy

We were supposed to go to Hershey Park yesterday til today, but our roof had other ideas. It wasn't something that needed $$$ to fix so that was good! Grandpa Estler helped out Tyler and fixed the roof. Now we just need new insulation & Sheetrock in the dining room/kitchen. Instead we stayed home and while Tyler worked outside I took Dylan to the park to get him tired for our afternoon outing. We played on the swing sets and slides. He also learned about throwing rocks into the stream.

Then we went for a walk and found some military vehicles.

It was a nice morning! Need to do it more often.
