The Birthday Madness Begins.

Ryan turned 8 on Sept. 29th. He celebrated his birthday with friends and a sleepover. The theme for his party was "Kung-fu Panda".

Happy 4th of July!

Here we are at the Annual Sheyenne 4th of July parade. Danika and Grandma are waiting patiently for the parade to start so she can start the candy collection. Below are Miranda's cousin's kiddos Kameryn (8, top) and Raleigh (2, bottom) also waiting anxiously for the parade
Raleigh was being a little camera shy at the time.	Here are Grandpa Ken and Miranda's Cousin Sara's hubby (Keith Hanson) heading up the parade carrying the flags.
	Tavan is waiting for the parade here, but we are not sure if he will stay awake long enough to see it. Above are our adorable Eli (to the left), Danika and Tavan.
Eli is enjoying the outdoors playing with some toys.	While waiting for the Stone pit BBQ to be ready, I was able to snap a photograph of all the little ones. Aren't they absolutely adorable?? All looking at the camera!
Eli is chilling out here, just enjoying the sunshine. He is working the use of his stroller real well here!

Just one of those days!

Ryan loves to play dress up and this evening he and Jake decided they wanted their pictures taken. How cute are they?
	Here is Eli playing in the bath. He loves to kick and play in the water, splashing with his toys. Below Tavan in sitting nice
and proper in his bath seat, playing with the foam letters. He too loves to splash in the tub. This is one of the few times that Danika did NOT join them for the first 5 mins, as she normally does.

8 Months old!!!

Tavan at 8 months. What a lovely grin!
Eli at 8 months loves his blankey and full of smiles
Danika had to get into the pictures also!!! Here she is giving Eli a gigantic hug of love!

Red River Valley Fair Kids Day

We had a fun time at the Red River Valley Fair this year. Ryan was a fan of Froggy so he took a picture with him.
Danika was SO excited to see Dora and Boots she could barely contain herself. She was actually really excited, even though her face didn't show it too well in this picture.
Thanks to Tricia who came along to help steer the troops in the right direction. I don't know how we could have went without her!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!! We Love you!
Eli enjoyed the fair also...however he didn't get out of the stroller a whole lot.
Tavan had so much fun he could barely stay awake... he was just basking in the sun!

Danika's Second Haircut!

Grandma braved it and tried to cut Danika's hair. This was only her 2nd haircut/trim. She sat very still and was good for Grandma. As you can see, it turned out beautifuly! We will have to see if Grandma is up for cut number 3 here!

KidFest

KidFest is day for the kids to go and everything is basically free. It is normally held outdoors at Island Park, but due to rain they held it inside the Civic Center. Let me tell you it was not easy moving around.	They have all activites focused on kids and the kids had fun anyway. They got on the train ride and did some Games to Go!

The Whole gang at Kidfest!
