Hard to believe that my little baby Dylan is 3 years old today! He is growing up way too fast! We are celebrating with cupcakes tonight and then Sunday we are having a birthday party. He picked the Cars movie theme. Should be lots of fun!

Today we went to Walmart to get Dylan three year pictures taken. Well, I checked when we first got there to see if there was much of a wait. The photographer was having technical difficulties and said come back in a half hour to see if he was able to fix things. So I said OK. Well, last year when we had pictures taken I was LUCKY to get anything worth keeping, so I told Dylan that if he smiled really good for me then he could pick out a toy. Well, since we couldn't get right in to get the pictures done, I made the mistake of letting him pick a toy first. So we payed for our things and then went back to see if we could get the pictures taken. It was fixed thank goodness! So I let Dylan pick a couple of the backgrounds that he liked. He seemed really excited about everything. Well, we get in the little room and I sit him on the table and he lets the guy get one picture that wasn't very good, and he wanted to get down. He refused to let him get anymore. He was putting his head on the floor. I tried bribing him with everything...Happy Meal, returning the toy he picked out ect. Nothing worked. Then the photographer pulled out a background of Thomas the Train. THAT DID IT!! Hooray for Thomas! Once Dylan saw that he was all for getting the pictures done. Of course we did the rest of the backgrounds BEFORE we did Thomas. LOL So I did get some half way decent pictures. The smiles look a little un-natural, but I was happy to get what I got!

Also, I couldn't believe it....the first gas station I passed on the way to Walmart was priced at $1.99!!! I couldn't believe it. FINALLY under $2 a gallon. Then when I went a little further past Meijer's they had gas for $1.94!! Wonder how long this will last?
