MEET KAYDA
At Christmas time we decided to not get a puppy. Then one night about two months ago we were looking up puppies online and found the breeders where we bought our dog Timber, Maxhaven Kennels. On their site they had a puppy picture of Timber. For some reason we got all sentimental and picked out a puppy.
We picked Kayda up at the airport last night! She is so much fun... Nathan is in love with her. Casey took care of her during the night. Kayda wasn't up to much because Timber slept by her.
I LOVE THE RAIN... BUT WE WERE HAPPY TO HAVE A BREAK AND GET TO THE BEACH!
Dylly and Nathan at the beach in February. One of the perks of a California winter.
TUNNEL FUN
When I was little this was one of my favorite things. So when I saw it at IKEA I asked my mom to get it for Nathan. It is so fun to watch both of them having fun with it!
MY FIRST PHOTO SHOOT WITH THE BIG DADDY CAMERA!
Well this was definitely an adventure. I took 5 photos before Dylly fell off a wall. Yup that's right... right off the wall that I set her on! I couldn't talk for like 3 hours, but she was fine, thankfully. Here are the photos...
I FOUND TIME TO PAINT!
I have been wanting to paint a picture of this photograph that Casey took in Morocco this last summer of boats. So I put Dylly down for her nap, put out paints for Nathan... and started my painting. I never thought I would be able to finish it. Well a painting is never finished, but it's good enough to hang on my wall.
Here is some of my art...
CRAFT FOR THE WEEK... MAKE A VOLCANO. No really make one... it doesn't have to be only in 5th grade for a science project. It's really easy and really
PLAY DOUGH RECIPE
3 C. Flour
6 tsp. Cream of Tarter
3 C. Water
3 T. Oil Food Coloring
LAVA RECIPE
Vinegar
Baking Soda
Food Coloring
Add all ingredients in a large pot. Stir together to get rid of lumps. Cook on medium heat while stirring until it turns into play dough! It's really fun... I let Nathan help mix the ingredients while the burner is off and then I do the rest. Let cool... During that time build your foundation for the volcano on a large cookie sheet. I used two oven safe bowls. One big one and one small one. Place the larger bowl upside down and the smaller bowl on top of it right side up. Then cover the bowls with foil. Sorry the picture below is from after the chaos was over. Hopefully you get the idea. You can always make up your own foundation.. that's what I did.
HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT YOUR KIDS AND THOUGHT WOW WHERE DID THEY COME FROM OR I WONDER WHAT HE'S THINKING RIGHT NOW...
Meet Nathan Luke Figlewicz...
I think he came into this world speaking in full sentences. He is so funny and smart for being just a little guy. It's funny when my friends who are 20-30 years old like hanging out with him. Okay enough about him and how amazing I think he is, here are some photos of him.
PRETTY PRINCESS
My friend Heather Doleshel of HBD Photography gave Dylan the prettiest dress ever for Christmas from Poor Pitiful Pearl. Dylan's first time modeling...
I WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO PAINT!
I love painting and it would be fun to do it more. My really good friend Kenna (who just had her baby boy... Cormac Cove O'Brien) made the most amazing blanket for my daughter Dylan. I wanted to do a painting of it... because my sister Cari has a blanket from when she was a baby and you can barely tell what it used to look like.
Here it is....
