Movie Monday

Dan and I were watching TV one night and this commercial came on.....



We both thought the rap was hilarious and we especially love the high part - "Mega-Mega-Mind" and the little fish that talks like-a-dis. We haven't been able to stop saying it in our household. We finally found it on YouTube so we could have immediate access to it and now Dane is addicted! He thinks it's hilarious. Here's his rendition of Mega-Mega-Mind and Who Are You? Enjoy.

I'm in Anchorage at a reading conference this week and seeing this video of him is just breaking my heart. He is so precious and I just love him to pieces. It's so hard being away from all of my boys. I sure am one lucky girl!

Sunday Snapshot

Guess who found a new toy?


He spent about an hour climbing in and out of there this morning! He's pretty resourceful - Dane never even thought to open that drawer when he was Jaeger's age. ;)

Happy Birthday Grandpa Mike!

We love you!

Parties, the glacier and more!

We're still coming down from the high of Halloween fun! We had Halloween festivities the entire weekend. Here are a few photos from just Friday and Saturday!

On Friday, we were invited to a Halloween party and the kids got to partake in the good 'ol fashion mystery bucket. The wet spaghetti was definitely a favorite!


On Saturday, we went to the Mendenhall Glacier for their annual Halloween Rock-ToberFest.

Here are Firefighter Dane and his trusty firedog Jaeger Ray just taking it all in.

Dane trying his luck at mini-golf.

My happy pumpkin!


Is this fire contained? Anyone need help in there?

We waited quite a long time for this yellow dog, but it was worth it!

Happy Firefighter!


After the glacier, we headed to Swampy Acres for a pony ride. Dane wasn't too interested so we skipped the pony rides, but Jaeger sure loved chasing after the chickens!

Halloween Flashback

2007 - Little Peapod Dane


2008 - Dane the spider


2009 - Dane was quite lucky this year and got to dress up in not one, but two costumes!
Here he is rocking his sheep costume.


And here he is passed out from the sugar overdose! You can actually see the candy slobber on his chin. ;)


This was the year that Jaeger Ray made his appearance as an adorable Tootsie Roll.

And here are our sweet boys together.

The festivities have just begun.....

The Halloween festivities that is!

This morning started with a Noah's Arc themed party at Dane's preschool. Everyone was encouraged to dress up as their favorite animal. Dane went as a sheep. (In fact, you may remember this costume from last year...) Who else forgot about the crazy Hollywood phase?

And in case you're wondering - yep, it's a Nannie original!

Here's how he looked this year in his sheep costume.


The little ears won't even fit around his sweet head! He's such a big boy now. I should have taken a full body picture though - Dane was definitely waiting for a flood. ;) But, the sweet little feet that Nannie made scooted right up to the sheep costume and you couldn't even tell!

Here are a few more photos from this morning....



Yep, that's little Jaeger Ray causing havoc. In a matter of minutes, Jaeger had his hand in the green paint and managed to paint all over the table. You can't leave this guy alone for even a second!

After school we went by our "pumpkin patch" otherwise known as Don Abel's. (A local hardware store that puts a few barrels of hay with some pumpkins on them.)


The best part about Don Abel's is definitely the free lollipops! Here's Jaeger Ray indulging...


And there he is offering a little lick to you - just like Auntie Kissy! ;) (Only 2 people will understand that comment, but I couldn't resist! I love you Kissy Poo!)

We ended the evening by making these little lovelies for a Halloween party we are going to in the morning.


My ghost making helper (yep, those are supposed to be ghosts - just in case you couldn't tell! Martha, I am not. :) )

The sneaky smile after stealing yet another white chocolate chip from the bag!

We have a whirlwind of a weekend ahead of us, so stay tuned for lots of photos of firefighters and Dalmation dogs! ;)

Movie Monday

Bath time fun!
