Dax's Big Week

It truly is amazing how fast kids grow. Dax has become a big kid and I love it. I love watching him think and figure things out. This week Dax got his first tooth, climbed his first flight of stairs, and climbed up on the picnic bench and sat down and said his first word besides DaDa and MaMa...Bawa Bawa...aka Beowulf. He loves to be outside and will race you to the door when Beowulf needs to go outside. I remember thinking how great it would be when Dax and Caleb could really play together...that day has basically arrived.

The tooth...

He was a little cranky lately but nothing compared to the pain that tooth

has given him since he was four months old. Finally it has arrived.

Lovin' the backyard

Dax positioned himself like that and Caleb sat down after.
They were watching the airplanes fly over head.


Here is a front view of the boys just chillin'.

Dax truly has rhythm.
The flag call started (5:15 on the dot) and he was bouncing to the music.

This is video of Dax climbing.

I love being a mom! Some days it is hard to stay home and be self motivated but it is times like these that help me remember why I love my job.

The Royal Family

I love having a family theme to for Halloween. Luckily, our kids are young enough that they don't care and Dave is busy, therefore, I have complete control of our costumes.

King, Queen, Knight and Dragon

I made Caleb's costume -you can't really see it but there is armor and everything. He loved the sword. It is actually a Kungfu Panda sword that made awesome sounds. It was a hit! (Amazingly enough not really a hit)

Our little Dragon

Dax liked his costume as long as the head wasn't up.

Happy Halloween


"Please no pictures"


Our little knight
He got up on the stage and walked under the curtain letting it drag on his head.
He turned around and did it back the way he came.
It just so happens that the curtain falls off your head approximately
2 inches after the stage ends. You do the math.



Dax has become quite the little crawler.
He looks like he's gonna eat someone.

Caleb wasn't really interested in Trunk or Treating so I gave him a sucker and he watched me pass out the candy to all the kids. It also made him feel better about the falling incident.
