Boise Aquarium

 Myles loves anything that has to do with water. Swimming, fish, turtles, sharks. We decided we needed to take him to the aquarium to let him check it all out.

 He just loved it. Feeding the fish, touching the Stingray and Sharks, he couldn't get enough.

 The aquarium was terrific, so many things are interactive, kids can touch and feel so many displays.

 The one display Myles was not so keen on was the iguana roaming around the building. He kept a close distance monitoring this scaly beast.

                                                 Myles hanging out at the touch/tide pool.

 This bird called a "puffin" was so interesting to watch. He would float atop the water for a few moments, then dive into the water, swimming with furry.

 Who can resist those cheesy photo ops? Well this cheesy certainly can't.

                                                   Yet another wonderful day together.

Fifth Annual Pumpkin Shenanigans

It's that time of year to bring out the Shenanigans, pumpkins shenanigans that is!

We decided to focus on efficiancy this year, so we brought out the good old drill set. Myles had fun, it looked good and we were finished in just over a half an hour. All in all a good choice.

   Add some spray paint and walla, the finished product! We just love our friends and Pumpkin Shenanigans~

Preparation for Halloween!

 We decided to kick off the Halloween activities by creating a creepy Halloween scene which included licorice, candy corn, chocolate icing and graham crackers. It was a hit, we all had a blast!

 Myles was so proud of his work, I was shocked he could keep his work of art intact for as long as he did.

 Then, everything went all awry. This time Myles did not start this food fight, without giving it away, it was one of the "responsible adults."

 Next up, Myles Preschool Fall Carnival. He still loves his Thomas Trains, but close in second place is dragons...ooooooh scarry! Myles likes to breath fire on innocent people in the grocery store, school, bank teller's, hair dressers and such. Now that he has his dragon costume on, people are less apt to be confused by this breathy force of wind protruding from his mouth.

                                        What's a fall carnival in Kuna Idaho without Goats?

 Bet you've never seen a dragon climbing up a play set before, have you?

 Dragon making an attempt at the donut game. I think he may have taken a bite out of multiple donuts, which makes this game highly sanitary. I cringe to think how many other kids drooling mouths took a gander at those same donuts earlier. Mmmmmmm

                                  Holy Cow......Is that a dragon hiding in the woods?

                 Myles the dragon and one of his best friends, Unicorn. They are so cute!

Myles first school field trip

                                             Myles first field trip was at the Boise Zoo.

 He just loves his school and so do we. He's made so many friends and has learned so much in the short 3 weeks he's been in school.

                           He had an absolute blast that day, thank you Sunshine Preschool!

 This is the ottoman in Myles room, which is supposed to be used to store a few toys and books. Instead, recently we have found him sleeping in it. Who needs a nice cozy bed when you could sleep in this sweet thing?

                                                       An evening of painting gone awry.

             No matter how creepy and inappropriate this picture is, it's cute dang it!

 These day's, Myles is really into snails. He digs and digs and digs, squeels out in jubilation as he spots the snail and bellows out," my new friend, snail"!

Myles first day of Preschool

 Myles has been so excited to start Preschool. For weeks now, it's been a daily topic of conversation, Myles says " my teacher, Mrs. Diana and my classmate friends, were gonna learn about dinosaurs and play with trains?" Yes Myles, your teacher is Mrs. Diana and you'll learn and play with lots of things! It was a late night last night, Myles just couldn't get settled to sleep knowing tomorrow was the big day. We were up past midnight, with Myles crawling in our bed at the crack of dawn. He's just so excited, chanting in the back of the car on our way to school, "I'm a big boy."

 Yes son, you are a big boy, but slow it down, this is just going by way too fast!

 All the kids lined up on the sidewalk, anxiously awaiting the teacher to open the door and welcome them into class, Myles takes off like lightning. Trying my best to keep up, I beg for a hug and kiss. After my hug and kiss, he's off without question. As you can see below, I'm running while taking this picture. Glad to see he's not afraid and timid of his first day!

                                    What a cute little man you are Myles, we love you!
