WiLd & cRaZy!!!

Since we decided that we were going to stay and not move we wanted to start doing some things around the house.... like paint. We were at Home Depot and they had samples of themed rooms, Cars being one of them. We really liked the colors, and went with it. This is our version of a Cars room. Dakota calls it his "cool "car-car" room". We were pretty impressed with the way it turned out. Jassen and I joked that the day he gets tired of it he can paint it himself :)

Oh, so messy!

I have to admit that I try to stay clear of anything Dakota can make a mess out of. For instance... icecream cones. We have just started letting him eat them on his own. He does pretty good. Now if only we could teach him how to keep up with the drips. :)

Call Me Crazy!!!

July 20th Dakota turned 4!!! We got home from the Florida on the 19th about 530 PM....... Had his party on the 20th at 2 PM! Sounds crazy I know. Everything went great. He had family and friends over to celebrate. The theme this year was VeggieTales. The favorite toy this year were WordWorld games, and accesories. It is a GREAT show on PBS. He also got some VeggieTale books and videos, which he can never get enough of!

Well, he has one more year of preschool and our tiny little baby will be starting Kindergarten :( There are days I can't wait, and other days I can't believe he is growing sooo fast (age wise :)).

Handsome Man

I got Dakota dressed for church on Sunday, and he looked handsome. Therefore I go the camera out, and started posing him! Some of these are silly, and others are very cute if I say so myself. :)

Day At The Park

It was sooo nice to get out, and enjoy the weather. We have had enough rain to create another ocean I think. We are soo tired of the rain around here. Anyways.... We have enjoyed our days in the 70's. They will soon return after a few days in the 40's/ 50's. Dakota could spend all day everyday at the park. Up the slide, down the slide, in the tunnel, out the tunnel, climb up the stairs, and back down the slide. Over and over again. We still wonder where he gets all of this energy!!

CMOE

Dakota's preschool took a trip to the Children's Museum Of Evansville. I went along to help, and see Dakota enjoy his first field trip. :) They had funny playing in the ball room, the "Human" room, and a few other areas. In a couple of the pictures you will notice some pictures of Dakota in a green "slime" thing. This is an estra large nose they can climb through. They also had an area for them to open their mouth to a camera and see inside their own mouth. Dakota enjoyed making facing faces, and sticking out his tongue. One area was for the creative side of the children. They are able to make their own dinosaur show, make music, and paint their faces. I tried to color Dakota's like Spiderman, but we didn't have time to get the webs drawn across his face. Therefore he looked kind of silly. Dakota is definitely getting old enough/ big enough to participate in more things, and enjoy them.

Easter

I know I am a little late. Thought I would get the blog updated. We first went to church at Roberts Stadium. Then we drove to Owensboro to visit my family. My Uncle Chris was giving Dakota rides on his leg. Dakota couldn't quit laughing, and kept falling off and wanting more. At Dads he took it upon himself to put on the head gear, and play Uncle Heath's drums. This is totally fine. He can play all he wants at Dads, but don't think I could ever have them in my own house.

New Portraits

It was time again for Toyota's Children's portrait session. I love these photos. Comparing them to his last ones, they haven't changed much.... I know it is no surprise to see the tennis racket. When I seen it on the table I made sure it was used. I was very happy to see that it turned out. Enjoy!!
