April 16-30, 2018 - 3 years 9 months



The Elementary School had an art show… this is the group project of The Scream! 
The next day, it was Earth Day, and Kadin spent most of it up in this alder, trying to climb as high as the older boys and girls.  In this pic, Sawyer is the boy to the right.

We are trying to grow some sunflower starts this year since last year they never flowered when we planted them directly into the soil outside.  Whatever they do, it's a fun activity with Kadin.  We poured the soil in, made a little bed for each seed and then covered them up with a dirt blanket.  When we were done, he said, "We plant seeds, go to bed, and tomorrow we eat plants!" 

I have one or two of these shots from when Kadin was an infant.  It still feels just as amazing now, 3 years later.

Biking, biking, and more biking.  He LOVES his new pedal bike and is out riding in rain or shine.  See videos below…

Of course, jumping off the bike to dive into the snow bank is just as much fun!  Even in the rain…  He tried to get me to join him but I declined.


Video of Kadin taking off on his bike without my help…


Video of Kadin swinging like a monkey in Gymnastics Class.


Video of Kadin and Luke sharing some raspberry silliness!


Video of Kadin climbing the alder tree downtown.  
He is saying, "Down, ok. That's how you go down.  Me show you how go up, alright?  This, do that, do that.  OK Mom?  Mom want to climb tree?"


And, last, but not least, Kadito in action… Fun times with puddles, snow, bikes, and Bucky.

September 16 - 30, 2017 - 3 years 2 months

Grandma Baiba and Grandpa Butchie come to Talkeetna for a visit!  First stop… Twister!
While the grandparents are resting, Kadin and I wander through the railroad station and Kadin enjoyed his time behind bars. 
Butch shops the local "produce" while Kadin races around on his bicycle.
Weeeeeee!!!
I had to stop into the VFW to meet up with a friend and Kadin was instantly fascinated with the pool table.  He watched every shot, gave recommendations, and waited for the ball to travel from the pocket to the storage underneath.
Physics scientist or pool shark to be? 
Finally, a break in the rain and we get to be back on our bikes.  If you can see how muddy his legs are, on this trip we went looking for all the big mud puddles! In fact, he had a communication melt down when I went onto the bike path… yelling, no, no, bdda, bdda, (or something like that) and pointing across the street to the dirt trail.  I wasn't thinking in English and it took me forever to figure out he was saying "Puddles!  Puddles!"  I confirmed it with, "Oh, ¿quieres charcos?" Yes!!!!!
We turned around as soon as I figured it out and had a muddy fun time.
Fun little BBQ and bonfire at Sarah's place with Sarah, Drover, and Franny.  Kadin and Jorie ran around like crazy, ate hotdogs and roasted marshmellows, and then finally chilled out by the fire.

Silly times with bubbles.  Somehow Mom stopped this video just before Kadin ran after the bubble and came back telling us there were Trolls behind the building. 

addendum after Baiba's comments:

Kadin's beautiful and silly and wonderful Grandma Baiba…. Alaska's cold in September!

April 1 - 15, 2017 - 2 years 9 months


A kid in a toy store!

All that excitement, including a new tractor, is exhausting!



Comparing candy with Soleil after the Easter egg hunt.


Kadin chose Tinkerbell as his stuffed toy gift at the Easter egg hunt - she can fly!  And her feet are fun to chew on! 
Playing with selfies with the computer's camera - and Kadin is showing off his Matchbox police car (that was mine when I was a little kid!)

April 27, 2016 - May 3, 2016 - 21 months and 2 weeks

This is actually the only good photo this week… but it sure is an awesome one!!!
 ––––––––

The rest of these photos were dated wrong and ended up in this week's folder by mistake -      but they are pretty sweet (and funny!) so I'm including them anyway.  
Leftovers from the Family Visit...




We'll keep the rest of this photo shoot private… ;-)
