Pickin' Apples

Grandpa can always find something for the kids to do...and they love every minute of it!

Part of the fam...

These are my sister, Leslie's in-laws.  Ever since Dylan was born, Sandy and Earl have treated him like one of their own grandkids.  They buy Dylan Christmas and birthday presents and invite us to family events.  Wonderful people!

I took family pictures for the Saddlers...And, of course we couldn't get away with out snapping a few of Dyl!

Brown-noser!

So there's a new instructor at Black Diamond and this is what Dylan had to say:  "Mom, Miss Cambria says that brown is her very favorite color...So do you know what that means?  Since I'm the only brown kid then that means I'm her favorite!"

Cuttin' it close...

Whether it's shaving Grandpa's hair or face...Dylan likes to keep him well groomed!

Eastern Idaho State Fair...Blackfoot, Idaho!

The mechanical bull caught Dylan's curiosity.  Without a thought Dyl signed up for the deal!  I could tell Dyl was a little nervous but he got up there and rode like a champ!

The kids wanted their picture taken in front of the big, prize-winning pumpkin.

Big cow area always cool...Dyl even "milked" it!

Breakfast by Dylan

Dylan made me breakfast this morning.  Canned corn, oreo cookies, and milk in a Chuck E Cheese cup.  The best part of all was the zoo pals plate...Doesn't get any better than this!

A "Natural!"

My little nephew, Chase, is such a little ham!  Apparently he was in a picture-taking mood 'cuz he wanted his picture to be taken over and over and over.  When he decided he'd had enough time in front of the camera Chase took ahold of the reigns and tried his hand at photography.  Chase's theme was "nature" and he took all the "nature" pictures by himself.  I think we have a future photographer on our hands!

Incredibly Hulky and Hunky!

Dylan has been obsessed with flexing his muscles lately. Every time he passes a mirror he stops, pulls up his arm sleeve, and checks out his gorgeous self. Last Sunday Dyl made sure to compare his muscles to the rest of the kids in his church class and declared, "Mom, my muscles are bigger than anybody else's in my whole church class!" I guess it helps if there's only 1 other boy! I have to laugh when Dyl compares himself to the incredible hulk. He wanted me to take some pictures of his muscles because he was wearing a green shirt. Eventually the shirt came off so we could get the whole affect...Love my little Hulkster!

Dyl heads off to Kindergarten...

Dyl's first day of Kindergarten was a piece of cake!
