Dylan Patrick Hampton

My first son Dylan has a very distinct personality and we saw it from his first days of life. When he was born he was breathing too fast so he had to be in the NICU for 4 days and was not able to eat for the first 2. He seems to be making up for those lost days. Once I was able to care for him myself I could see that he was high maintenance just like his momma. He looks just like Derek and he also has his stubborn perosnality to boot. I think that he will be a great combo of the two of us. He has been crawling for a couple of weeks but he has just really started to get into EVERYTHING. I know that it will only get more difficult as he grows and becomes his own little person. I look forward to each and everyday because I know it will be filled with fun and laugh with this boy. Here are some pictures that I took in our back yard you can see how interested he is in his surroundings. Oh yea, this boy loves his pacificer he puts it in his mouth whenever he can. That was the one thing I did not want him to have but what Dylan wants Dylan gets.

Aloha from Amiee, Derek, Ashley & Dylan

We went to our first Luau and had a great time. The community where we live hosted a Luau and only a certain number of residents we able to go and we were one of the lucky ones. There was a big canoe boat that you could take out in San Diego bay, we waited too long to try to go on it and they had closed it down. But Ashley and I made some live lay's for the Fam. It was a great way to end the summer, except there was no fired pig. I thought there would be and I was kind of disapointed but I got over it!


Ashley making one of her many lay's. She had a necklace an anklet and a ring for her head.


When we got there they gave us some silk flower lay's and here is Dylan sportin' his. It was so cute because he kept trying to lick it.

Derek and I enjoying the day.

Here is Ashley in line waiting to go into the lauo. She is smiling and happy like always.

Some old fashion hula dancing.

Now this was a real treat they had fire dancers. They were awsome.

Look at them shorts they have to wear.

Derek wanted Dylan to get his face painted but D had other ideas of what he wanted to do with that paint brush.

Some more fire dancing.

Ashley looking beautiful as always.

Chillin at the Park on a Sunday Afternoon

Here we are at Admiral Baker Park. It is a pretty big park. It has a pool with a huge water slide, a playground for big kids and one for little little kids. They have a campground, golf course, basketball courts and tennis courts. They have a large area for parties and I am thinking of having Dylan's 1st birthday party there. And the best part is it is right around the corner from our house.


My baby boy looks so much like his daddy!


Here is Ashley relaxin on the blanket.


She is such a loving big sister and Dylan adores her. She makes him laugh by doing anything.

Dylan loved it on that swing.

He also love eating those leaves.

I had to fight them to get this picture. They just were not intrerested in my picture taking.

A Visit to Shamu's House

We decided to have a family day out at Sea World. All of us had a blast! Dylan had fun people watching from his dad arms and his stroller. We did not stay too long but long enough to have a great time. We got there at about an 1hr before it got dark and stayed long enough to see the Spectacular fireworks show.

Ashley was about to get eatin by Shamu.

Dylan was just amazed with this walrus and Derek liked him too!

Ashley took her brother into the baby play area and was so attentive to him. The other kids were playing ruff around him and she did not like that at all.

Those whales are amazing , beautiful and extremely intelligent creatures.

We sat in the soak zone right up front and did not get a single drop of water on us but we had a great view of the show.

Ashley returns from Grandma's & Grandpa's House

After completing the 3rd grade a Hancock Elementry, Ashley took a little vacation to her Grandparentes house. When she came back she had her hair all done up and lookin cute. Dylan missed her so much and so did I she is a big help to me.
