Spiderman ????

I'm not really sure what to even say about this. It's a rainy day and we're inside. Dylan wanted to be Spiderman so Holli got the markers and went to town on his face. If he had horns he would look a like Darth Maul.

On another note, DW seems to have made a full recovery. His ear has a little tear but other than that he appears healthy.

Bad Dogs

Poor Dark White had a rough morning. The kids and I came home from a bike ride and found that his cage had been broken in to and he was missing. We eventually found him 2 floors lower, soaking wet hiding behind the TV. I think that Chewy was responsible but Winnie was very likely an accomplice. The reason I believe Chewy was the main culprit is because she tried to eat him once before when I was holding him on my lap. I realize that Dark White really isn't much different than a mouse so we just have to be very careful. He's back in his cage resting now. Hopefully he'll be okay.

Dylan Rides his bike!

We are so proud of Dylan! Today he learned to ride his bike with no training wheels! Just a couple of weeks ago he told me that he was going to leave his training wheels on until he was 56 years old! Last week Drew took off the cranks, pedals and training wheels so Dylan could learn to balance. He was doing so well that we decided to put the cranks and pedals back on this morning and he just took off! Wow!

Fickenschers Visit

We had a great visit with the Fickenschers from Overland Park, KS. Thanks so much for making the trip to Durango. We all had a really nice time.

Dark White

One of Dylan's birthday gifts was a Hamster from Holli. Dylan named him Dark White. He first named him Dark after "Dark Vader" and then added the White because the hamster has some white on him. Dark White has been a hit with everyone, including the dogs and Oliver.

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

We just finished up a very nice visit with Grandma and Grandpa. We were sad to see them leave this morning. Here are some of our highlights from the visit.

Celebrating Dylans 4th Birthday. He requested a Darth Vader cake. We did our best but it turned out looking more like an 80's rock star. He liked it and it tasted good!

Dylan got a new Spiderman bike for his birthday.

Grandpa got a ride in a Glider Plane for his birthday.

On Saturday we went to Pagosa Springs for the 1st annual Pirate and Renaissance fair. The kids spent a lot of time making shields.

Holli dressed up up for the fair and got to sit in the Queens chair.


After the fair we cooled off in the San Juan River. There is a very nice spot where the river meets the hot springs. The water is very nice but a bit swift.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DYLAN!

Our little guy is 4 years old today! Dylan is our sweet comedian whose always making us laugh. Happy Birthday, Dylan, we love you!
