Daddy's Birthday

Dale's birthday was the beginning of November. For his birthday, I will sometimes make him a Red Velvet cake. This cake is a royal pain to make, so when I do make it, it is the only present he gets from me. It is his favorite cake--a very southern thing. Here's a picture of this year's cake.

Halloween

When I initially asked the Little what she wanted to be for Halloween, she said a pig. I was okay with that, and started researching how to do a home made pig costume. Her school does a Halloween parade where they walk around the block in their costumes, so it was important that she dress up. Anyway, a couple of days before Halloween, she said that she didn't want to be a pig, she wanted to be a puppy. So, we did a puppy costume instead of pig costume.
She was a little unsure of wearing her costume to school. However, when she saw all of the other kids wearing their costumes, she was okay with it.

Here is the Little in her Halloween parade.


The Little got to go trunk or treating with her Aunt Rebekah. They had a wonderful time. Rebekah was a gypsy.

First day of School

On September 22, 2008, the Little started preschool. It was a very exciting day. She loves learning about letters. She can now identify several. Of course, I took the obligatory "first day of school" picture.

The Little turns 3

We had a wonderful time yesterday celebrating the Little's birthday. Here are a couple of pictures to commemorate the event.


The Little helped make her cake and frost it. Of course, as you can see, frosting it was her favorite!

Here is the finished product. Dale got the decorations from the Dollar store and they were a hit!

Here is the Little right after blowing out the candles. She is, of course, wearing her new crown that is from her Grandma Robbins. She had so much fun.

Do you like my hat?

The Little decided yesterday that she wanted to wear her pants on her head. I thought it was worth a picture. Of course, she didn't smile until she had taken the pants off of her head.


Then, during her bath last night, she put the wash cloth on her head and wanted a picture.

This picture is from last week. Notice that both the Little and Baby are in their dresses and ready to get "married."

I'm a model, you know what I mean. . .

On Sunday, Dale completed a model that he had been working on for well over a year. He had done two smaller model's previous to this, so we decided to show them off a little.

This is the model that he just completed. Isn't it cool?

Getting Married

The Little had a very serious look on her face, her blanket on her head, and was walking across the room. I asked if she wanted to come sit on my lap, but she said, emphatically, that she was getting married. Here is her bridal outfit:
