Dylan's 7th birthday is on August 13th, so I took him down on OSU campus to take some pictures. "D", as we call him, is very excited for his "Indiana Jones" birthday party in a couple of weeks. He was just as excited to come down on campus with me. He loves the one on one time, and unfortunately with our busy schedules it is not something that he gets on a regular basis. I must remember to carve out more "individual" time for him...he just a totally different person when it is just the two of us! We had fun tucking into back alley's looking for cool graffiti down on campus....then once we were done, we stopped for ice-cream! Dylan is such a funnly little guy, 7...going on 17. There are times I think that he acts so "old", and other times when I can still catch a glimpse of the little boy I that I adore. He still LOVES his stuffed penguin, and sleeps with all of his stuffed animals. But, now he prefers to watch "Drake and Josh" over cartoons. He still wants to put suitcases on airplanes when he is older. He has wanted to do this since he was 3 years old. He just loves airports....he can't wait until he is 16 so he can go work at the airport! He still wants to go down the suitcase aisle at Target...just to check out the new stuff. I used to take him there as a treat...he would get all the suitcases out and just go up and down the aisle...LOL! But, alas, my "baby" is growning up...he starts second grade in just a few short weeks. He is excited to see all of his friends, plus, he just found out that his friend Joseph's dad is going to be his soccer coach...major score. My sweet little man, please do not grow up to fast....I love you a bushel and a peck!!

Dylan thought it was so funny that I wanted to take his picture next to the porta-potty...it just cracked him up...I thought the green background was so cool!
