Happy Birthday Dillon!

So we know that we have been huge slackers when it comes to this blog. We thought that having a child would motivate us to post more often. Well, yes its true that we have a million pictures of our Dillon but we also have far less time than before we had Dillon. That is the best excuse we have come up with so far anyway. So while we were away...

• Gary graduated with his Masters in Counseling and is now a licensed counselor.
• I became a stay at home mom (not necessarily by choice) but I love it!
• Gary starts his PhD program in the fall here at NAU
• I chopped my hair for the first time in years and donated it to locks of love (I barely made it). NO, its not a pixie cut or anything, more like shoulder length. Yes my hair was of Amish length.
• Dillon learned to walk in the last couple weeks and looks for applause every time he walks across the room.
• Gary got the worst double ear infection I have ever heard of or seen. His ears were soooo swollen that he said his ears looked like this: (His words, not mine)
• I became officially scuba certified. It only took the Tenney's 5 years to convince me. So glad I did it and I highly recommend it.
  
• We went with all the Tenney's (minus Troy who we all missed dearly) to Cozumel Mexico to scuba dive and swim with the whale sharks, which was absolutely amazing! The trip did have one downside: Brandon (Gary's youngest bro) had his toe rear ended (more like sandwiched) by a golf cart. Which resulted in a surprisingly positive experience with the Mexican Health Care system. And Trevor passed out...but that's another story.
• We are enjoying the nice summer weather and LOTS of rain. Our front yard has a drainage ditch running through it and it has been full for most of the last 2 weeks.
• Brandon got his mission call to Jacksonville, FL and leaves in a couple weeks. Bittersweet.
• Our five year anniversary is coming up in a few days. Yay!
• Dillon is one year old today! Hard to believe that.
  

Here are some various pictures from over the summer. Cause that's what its all about. Our camera broke on our Cozumel trip so we will try and get a video of Dillon walking asap. Everyday he looks less and less like a drunk man trying to navigate our living room. We are so proud.

Just so you know we have recommitted ourselves to this blog. Our restaurant review blog has officially bitten the dust. But I think being poor is a better excuse for not updating that one. Don't you think?
