Around the house

Dani is being the model for the spider bows that Amanda and I made for the boutique that we did on Saturday. We are getting excited for Halloween!

The other morning Dani was cracking us up. She was drinking out of the water faucet like Heston does after he brushes his teeth. Then she was putting his shoes on like he was and following him around trying to do everything that he did. Then when he put his hat on she kept saying "hat....Dani" so he gave her one of his hats to wear. He tried to get her to smile for the picture but she wasn't interested.

I have been putting books in Dani's crib lately because she likes to look at them before and after she goes to sleep. I found her the other day hugging her kitty cat as she slept - too cute!

Daily joys!

Dani kept asking to swing this morning and it was totally cold oustide so I told her that we had to put socks on and she wanted to put socks on her bear. Then we put a hat on her... and her bear. Then her coat... we don't have a coat for her bear, she was a little bit upset about that but she got over it once she got in to the swing.

Yesterday after church Heston tried to take a little nap on the couch and Dani started playing "pile everything I can find on top of Dad" She emptied out his church bag and even went to the kitchen and pulled some bowls out of the cabinent. She thought that she was pretty funny! Her dad didn't get much of a nap.

Dani loves ot open and close our front door. She can be entertained for hours on end with this fun little game. She likes it when you knock on the door and she can let you in or out.

I put curlers in Danis hair the other day. She did pretty well with them for awhile and then she started pulling them out so her hair turned out a little frizzy. Maybe she is still too young for this primping stuff?

Dani was being very quiet the other day while she was playing and I found her with this opened can of play-doh when I went in to check on her. At least it wasn't on the carpet - this time.

Ice cream stop in Colorado

On our drive up to estes Park there was this little ice cream shop and we stopped to give the kids a little break. The kids loved the ice cream and the got to run around a little bit too. Dani and Tyson would do anything for some of that yummy ice cream!

We had a great time with the family in Colorado. The first day we went on a little day hike at Roxburrough State Park. It was beautiful. We saw 2 deer along the trail. Dani and Tyson walked for the first quarter of the hike and after that took us almost an hour we decided that they should go in the backpacks.

That night Heston and I went out to dinner with my friends from high school and then over to one of their houses for dessert - it was really nice to get to catch up with them.

The next morning we went to Estes Park and enjoyed watching tons of Elk doing their bugling nioses and fighting over their women. We also went downtown and walked around looking at the fun little shops. It was a great trip and it was fun to see Grandma, Grandpa, Nate, Monica, Tiffany, Tyson, and baby Mikey (for the first time).

Dani's latest adventures

Dani has had a hard time sleeping for the past week or so. I have had to put her down for her naps 2 days this week on our bed. I make a pillow cage since she is the wildest sleeper and I don't want her to fall off of our very tall bed in her sleep. She fell asleep with her little kitty the other day. So cute!

Dani helped her mom make bread. Her mom said she was done when she somehow got dough all over the rug and herself. She kept saying "dirty".

Dani loves to put shoes on. She does it all day long. She comes to me and says "shoes on" so I have to get her some shoes to wear. She found these and went ahead and put them on the wrong feet. She gets the right feet about 75% of the time. She also loves to go to my closet and bring my shoes to me and say "momma, shoes on". So I have tried most of my shoes on many times in the last couple of weeks. They all still fit. By the way Paul and Alissa, Dani found Gracies other shoe :)
