Daddy's New Poster at Work!

This is Dixie Chopper's new marketing campaign!


Thanks for the picture taking and editing skills of Papaw, Daddy has this new poster in his office at work! This was his Father's day gift from Dillon.

Lil D talking to me during the Cards highlights on ESPN!

Lil D was talking up a storm to me this morning while I was working and he was watching cards highlights...so I caught a lil on tape to show off!

4 months old!!!

As you can see here, we have started with cereal now. It took him about a week to completely figure out what to do with a spoon. Its so cute to watch him eat it, every bite is like a surprise to him. He does a great job of getting it everywhere too, as you can see in the picture above.

Grammy took this picture with him in his little robe. He was playing before bathie time. He absolutly loves his hands now. If hes not drinking a bottle or eating cereal, he is eating his hands and slobbering all over the place. We asked Dr. Emmick about teeth coming in and she said that a lot of babies will start the "theething process" of chewing on thier hands and slobbering even up to a couple months before they get teeth in. She looked and there aren't any teeth yet.

I just had to post this picture because he was just talking up a storm. He loves to talk and smile at you when you are talking to him. Sometimes it sounds like he is really saying words. You can also see here that he is getting way too big! :) We took him to his 4 month check up with Dr.Emmick on Wednesday and he weighed 15 lbs and is 25 in long! He gained 4 lbs and grew 2 in in two months. She told us that he is growing perfect and even said he is perfect too. We told her that we wanted her to tell us something we dont know. :) She loves little Dillon, and we lover her too!! Shes great!

Not to much is new with the rest of the family. Darren has been busy with work, golfing and riding his bike. I have been busy with work and taking care of lil D. And every once in a while we get to have some family time. We put up a blow up pool in the yard last weekend and we are waiting on the water to get warm enough for all of us to get in. I can't wait to see what Dillon does in the water. He loves bath time so I'm sure he will love it. Darren and I just booked our first family vacation. We will be going to St.Louis the first couple days of July. We are pretty excited to take Dillon on a vacation and to just get away just the three of us, with no golfing involved!! :) The following weekend Darren and I will be in Chicago at the Nascar race there. Mary got us some pit passes for the race up there, so we will go up there for the weekend and spend some quality time with each other and the Newman clan! :)

We will be sure and post some pictures of our vacation when we get back. Wish us luck with driving 4 hours with a 4 month old! :)

New Pictures

My precious little boy is getting sooo big!!!
Look how blue his eyes are in this picture!! I love it!!

Had to put the black and white one on here too! I love this one!

Dillon with his cousin Corbin (9 months old) and his Grammy and Pa (Darren's parents)

They got all of their pictures taken yesterday at JC Penney for a fathers day gift for Allen. They all turned out so good!! My Dad is going to take more pictures of him probably tomorrow so we will hopefully have more really soon! We are hoping to have a family picture soon too. Hes now 4 months old (well in two days) and we still havent taken one. We will be sure and post more as soon as we get them, just had to share these now!

Our little golfer / fisherman

He looks like such a little man in this picture. The hat was a little big but still so cute!

I thought this one was going to be bigger, but you can kind of see his little fisherman outfit. Hes gonna be a fisher just like Daddy!

This is one of the first outfits that we bought for Dillon before he was ever born. Its a little golfer outfit like Daddy. Its still a little to big, but we couldn't wait any longer to put it on him. He was just talking up a storm and cheesing for the camera! I loved it!

He is getting so big! He goes back to the doctor on the 17th so we will update after then to let you know just how big he is getting. But I can tell you now that he is growing way to fast! Hes getting to be so much fun though! We love playing with him on the floor and hearing him talk and laugh. Its the best thing ever! He had his first cold this past week and it wasn't very fun. Its the saddest thing to have a sick baby and to not be able to help at all. He is feeling better and luckily didnt get it near as bad as I did. Hes starting to be back to his normal self.

A couple pics from NC

OUR DREAM HOME!!

This is the front door to Ryan and Krissie's absolutly beautiful home!!! As you can imagine, it is simply amazing to see. Krissie designed their whole house inside and out. Its over 18000 square feet of log cabin! Everything inside is wood too. It smells so good when you walk in. She is in the process of designing a 22000 square foot home for Tony Stewart, I believe somwhere here in Indiana. I wish we had the money to hire her too! :)

This was our view from the suite at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte. The suite was very nice, the only thing lacking was outdoor seating like in Indy. But it was at least air conditioned and shelter from rain that day! :) The day before (sunday when the race was supposed to take place) Rick Flare (professional wrestler) and Shawn Johnson were in there! We missed it all! :(

We were right above the start/finish line and right in front of Pit Lane. It was cool to see the guy with the flag and to see them all make thier pit stops. The coolest thing of the race was at exactly 3 o'clock they pulled all the cars right in front of us on the main straight a-way and stopped their engines for a moment of silence for all of the military men and women for memorial day. It gave me goosebumps!
