Practicing face paint for carnival

Dayton likes fish. So I attempted a shark.

Fall in Alaska

Although we live in a small condo next to a busy highway, we make the
time to find sanctuaries of nature near our home. Sydney is always
collecting leaves, berries and flowers. Dayton is always finding
sticks and hitting all the trees and shrubs in his path. As always,
Syd is coatless and Dayton is in full gear. (His hat and gloves came
off after a little swim in a nearby puddle. Gloves don't swim well in
muddy water. :-) Shocking that he would find the one puddle in the
entire parking lot to try and long jump over). Sumo (sp?) wrestling
is more his sport I think.
Between doing projects for Sydney and going outside for Dayton, I am
keeping very busy. No soaps and Bon-bons here. Just gold fish
crackers and string cheese. Hm! Not extremely tasty (unless you
catch sight of them on fast sunday), but filling none the less. ;-)

Baby Buns

Why are baby butts so cute?

First day of joy school

We first did music, but getting free play time was the favorite.

Getting Dayton off to the right start

There are some things that only dads can do :-)

Chuck-E-Cheese

We told our kids that if they went potty on the toilet, they could go
to chuck-e-cheese. Every time they go #2 they scream in delight and
say "we're going to chuck-e-cheese!!!". So, here we are. :-). It's the
best $5 we've ever spent.

Our up and coming photographer

Sydney was playing games with the I-phone and she figured out how to
take pictures. What do you think?

Learning to cut hair

Dayton

Our little carpenters

It's amazing how much fun kids can have with a ladder and a few tools.

Projects

Sydney makes sure we do lots of projects. We love our new kids table
& use it all the time. Since getting a little more organized we have
much more peace in our home.

Sydney's favorite person in the world

Daisy

Our flower girl

Sydney can't leave a playground with out a bouquet of flowers. Sound
like any relative we know?

Early Christmas present

The first year I buy a present early and they find it. When they got
it out I didnt have the heart to take it away. It was suppsed to be
for dayton but Sydney really likes it as you can see. I guess I'll
have to get a little more creative with my hiding skills.
