Brigstons 1st Birthday!

Evelynne Brielle Dittmer

Wow! Surprise! We decided to have Irish twins (two babies born in the same year with different birth-dates!) Evelynne Brielle Dittmer was born on July 16th 2008. She weighed 7lbs 15oz. and was 20 inches long. She has my blue eyes, (alot) of Brians dark hair, and Brigstons appetite ;) She is such a sweetie and so good natured! She is learning to ignore Brigston and his "love of his own voice" stage... (lots of random hollering and squealing). Grandma Barbara Schulthies was here for the delivery and Grampa Vaughn flew in a few days later. It was so neat to have them come and visit! We sure do love and miss them and really appreciate Grandma Joleen for her continuous love and support! Evie and Brigston are eleven months apart. Brigston really enjoys having another buddy to play with and so far doesn't seem to have a problem with sharing momma... He has figured out how to copy our behaviours around her and coos and smiles at her... he now says "hi" in a girlie voice that is hilarious! We will video it and put it on here. He also started walking on the evening of 9/11. Momma is soooo relieved! Now I am not stuck holding both of them at the same time as much ;) Yeah for independence!!! As of now, he has 4 teeth.

Home Sweet Home! 4-15-08

First off, big apology for not being able to update our blog till now (seven months later!) Gees where does the time go... a lot has happened in the last seven months so I will do a summary of the big items now and come back and fill in the blanks with more pictures later this week.

On tax day, April 15th, 2008, we moved to our dream farm with this really fun old farm house. It is the family heritage of the Dittmers where Grandma & Grampa Dittmer raised 11 children & farmed. One of these children was Mike, Brian(my husbands) dad. So its really neat that we are able to carry on the special family legacy of farming with such a strong history. The house has old school character but we love it and have enjoyed fixing it up little by little. Here you can also see one of our other changes... our family vehicle (2001 Dodge Durango). Had to upgrade from the ford and my toyota so we can fit all six of us (with two car seats ;) We got a steal of a deal and we really love it! I will explain more later this week.

The Boys Playing Housewife for the Evening!!!

Momma wasn't feeling the best so we sent her to bed and decided to make her some chicken soup and a grilled cheese sandwich! After we got her fed we thought we would clean up our mess! Who knew that a can of soup and some cheese could make such a mess! We got the dish towel out and made a dude rag for Brigs so he could get down and dirty! He thought the rinsing process was fun!!! We appreciate everything momma does for us so it was really nice to make her night special!!! We love you mommy!

New Hairdo for Momma!

Momma's new hair! It still takes us all a while to realize that it's her! She looks great though! She wasn't thrilled with this picture either... She's like "Give me the camera"!

It must have been a long truck ride!

Just another night playing! Momma says we play to rough sometimes and Brigs is going to catch that shaken baby sindrome disease? We have fun together, he is so personnable!

Playing at nights!

Don't know why naked baby Brigs with a drowl gaurd on is so funny, but it is! I need to find a gaurd for me when we are playing!!! He always seems to be able to get it all over us!

Big Family... getting BiGgEr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a good picture of us at all, but atleast you all will get to see what we looked like. We are waiting for the photographer to get us our pictures so this will have to do for now! Sheree will be upset that I posted this one, but between all of you and me.... I know how to get her calmed down quickly!!! I just have to crack the whip! haha... ya right! Now I'm really in trouble!!!

They are Beautiful!

You have to admit... She still steals the picture even when she is in black and white!!! I thought the flowers were beautiful also, Sheree made her own bouquet!

Yummy for me!

This was the second best part of our Wedding!!! The best part was hearing Sheree... my most beautiful, loving, funny wife... SAY I DO!!! I so truely love her!
