Pool Girl

Second set of swim lessons and still LOVING IT!  Go little "Pike" go!

Zoo Day

Dylan spent a fun day at the zoo with one of our sitters, Rebekah.  They had lots of fun and Dylan got to feed a bird. 

Camping

First camping adventure of the summer....

Final words by Dylan "I love camping!  I love hiking, I love our camper, I love my sleeping bag, I love marshmallows, I love sleeping with Maggie, I love throwing rocks in the river, I love....." and the list continued on.  Final final words "I don't want to go home!".   Someone had fun - we all did.

Happy Father's Day!

"Happy 'dadda's Day!  You're the best!"

Super Beasts Graduation

Dylan Clark to the podium please....

Here's d and all her Little Gym buddies - there is a little ratpack that has formed amongst the older ones and it's comical every week.  They all follow each other around cheering one another on.  And can you guess who the ring leader is?

Here's a funny story from one of the other moms:

"My god, she had the whole room in stitches today.  I don't know if your sitter told you but she was just too much!  When she came in she made a point of making her shout outs to all her buddies around the circle.  But best of all was the end.  First Dylan made a big production of wedging herself next to Sammy in the stamp circle and basically just about sat on top of tiny little Josie.  Then, Berget's trying to sing the goodbye song but Dylan was totally consumed by the fact that Shelby and Monica were having an impassioned conversation in the corner of the mat.  She stood up in the middle of the little circle and yelled out "Mama Shelby!  Mama Shelby! YOU NEED TO CLAP YOUR HANDS!" several times until Shelby finally heard her and stopped talking to join us.  She totally called them out and they both flushed red! I nearly hurt myself I was laughing so hard and even Berget was having a real hard time keeping it together.  It was like a "comedy act in here" as Berget put it."

Whitefish, MT

A month or so ago (I've totally lost track of time!) we took a quick trip to Whitefish, MT, our favorite stomping grounds. On our way over of course we had to stop off for a night at G-ma & Gpa's house.  Oh how D loves her G-ma & pa!

Then it was off to Whitefish to visit our friends the Sabins & the Boyes - it was kiddo-palooza.  Someone had a grand ol' time.  First there was the trampoline....

then a hike in the woods

A photo opt on a log- funny how they all look like they could be related - oh wait everyone is but d.

It was far too short of a trip but a fun one for sure!

D & GT

A cute photo of D in the back of Matt's grandpa's truck (GT).

Tree Hugger

D loves her trees.

Another Round of Baby Goaties

Pepper had her two little goaties the other day. Here's a few photos of a little someone who was sooo in love. The goaties where only 2 days old. I thought for a moment we were going to be taking one home.

Dad and Dylan - this was actually a calm moment the next were of D chasing all the goaties in and out of the door so her dad could catch them for her.

Pictures By Dylan

A few pictures Dylan took on my phone of our backyard.

Do Butterflies Like Ice Cream?

You tell me....

Folklife, The Making of a Young Hippie

Madison and Dylan hit up Folklife early Friday morning.  Dylan was in all her glory wearing her favorite dress (which cracks me up as it has none of her favorite colors but she has to wear it all the time), having her face painted, dancing, and hanging out with Madison.  They had a blast together.

Meet Princess and Princess Dylan

Okay a little blurry but you get the picture.  Meet Princess and Princess Dylan.  Princess aka Sammi is Dylan best Little Gym buddy.  We recently got her mom to sign her up for Dylan's "super fun dance class" and now the two are a hoot.  Totally over dressed for the class but both had to wear their dresses!  Sammi started introducing herself and Little Gym as Princess and all on her own Dylan named herself Princess Dylan.  This little ballerina number d's wearing is a present from Miles & Gia and is her FAVORITE dance outfit.  I do have to say she looks adorable in it.

Brownies Anyone?

The other day Dylan and our good friend Kristie made brownies.  Someone was in chocolate heaven!

To Caspar, If You're Watching

Well if you've been following the blog for a while, you'll know that Dylan is Caspar Babypant's biggest fan.  So when the new cd came out "hot dog" Dylan marched right up to Easy Street Records and had to get her picture taken (this was painted on the side of the building).  Dylan already knows all the songs by heart (and so do we!).  There is one song about whales.  Dylan says to me "Mom, I know everything there is to know about whales - one is named Sam, one is Chuck, one, is Phil...".  I just smiled and agreed.

Swim Class

Dylan's been taking swim class at the YMCA and she's in heaven!  Oh my gosh, it's smiles from ear to ear the whole time.  She loves being in the pool without Mom or Dad helping her (cause she's "such a big girl now".).  Teacher Anne is great with the kids - we've already signed up for the summer program.

At Work With Dad

A visit to Dad on set lead to Dylan standing in so the crew could light the set. She was a hoot and had everyone in stitches. I was a bit worried that we might not get her out of the chair when it was time to go.

D was a natural - and of course loved all the attention!

The car ride on the way home was very quite.

Beach Streakin

Matt and Dylan took Maggie swimming - guess from the looks of it Maggie wasn't the only one in the water!

Robot Girl

Oh the things you can create with a little cardboard and paper!

Our Indoor Garden

Dylan and I started a lovely little indoor garden.  She loved watching the plants grow - every morning at breakfast we'd check out and new happenings and she'd get soooo excited when there was a little movement/growth to report.  We grew sunflowers, squash, & beans - all of which are now outside in the 'big garden'.  Someone's got quite a green thumb, although don't tell her as she will take you literally.
