July 13, 2016 - July 15, 2016 - 2 YEARS OLD!!! A 3-DAY CELEBRATION...

Happy 2nd Birthday, mi amor!!!


We had a mini party for him on the 13th… with carrot cake and paper airplanes, a bunch of kiddos and a baby pool.  Fun, Fun, Fun.



The morning of his actual birthday, the 14th, we enjoyed a mellow morning with leftover cake for breakfast and silly antics with balloons.  I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!!  
(you have to see the video to really get the silliness)


He received a cute card that sang out "Happy Birthdaaaaaayyy" and within minutes, my little engineer had taken it apart and found the battery and circuit board.



We then packed up the car and headed to Byer's Lake, for two nights of camping, pack rafting in the warm water, and enjoying the long summer days.  
Kadin's friend Farah came up with her mom Rachel to help celebrate!












This is Kadin's new "smile for the camera" face...
Kadin had found a speck of pollen and carried it all the way to the lake.  He'd drop it and miraculously, we'd look around and find it every time!
Making friends with a random doggie...



Kadin's first marshmellow roasting!

And of course, don't forget about our tadpoles… who now have hindlegs!!

July 4, 2016 - July 7, 2016 – 23 months and 3 weeks – PART 3: FOURTH OF JULY and BACK TO NORMAL LIFE

 Fourth of July at the Fire Station.  They somehow fill a fire hose with soap bubbles and make a giant bubbly puddle to play in!  Too much fun!





 Video!


Back to daycare and regular life.  Whew!  All that fun is exhausting!

May 25, 2016 - May 31, 2016 - 22 months and 2 weeks

Crazy busy and active and fun week!  Lots of pictures, which is just fine by me, especially since I'm finally caught up.

They are still alive and growing bigger and bigger!! 
We took my packraft down to my little pond to explore it a bit… 
Splash in the water, grab lily pads, watch the water strider bugs...

But as exciting as it was, when it's nap time, it's nap time! 

Exciting times for the Woodpecker clinic… running water, utility tub, and a washer and dryer!  Crazy. 




Finally warm enough for the baby pool!  Plus, with our hot water heater, I was able to add just a bit of hot water to take the icy edge off of it.


My new secretary in training!  I guess I still need to get him a uniform, huh?

Kadin wanted his own hammer and nails to play with… toy tools are just too dull.
On Tuesday, we hopped in the plane and headed out looking for a new patch of tundra.  Flew over some amazingly beautiful areas but ended up hiking in the Peters Hills, where we've been many times.  No less beautiful for being familiar though.
