Dagney and the Doughnut

Doughnut? Pink icing? Sprinkles? There may be some sugar in this?"Hmmm, tasty...""Very, very tasty..."
"AHHH YES THE SWEET TASTE OF SUGAR!"

Dagney and Paige

Paige loves swinging in the baby swing and watching her big sister always makes her smile.

Dagney likes to make Paige laugh by gently pushing her in the swing.

Who made the cookies in the cookie jar?

"Dagney did, Dagney did!"
Dagney broke the eggs...

Dagney stirred in the flour...

Dagney even tasted the cookies...

"Mmmm, sweet nectar of the Gods!"

Pumpkins, Gourds and Squash

So finally the stars aligned and we headed out to the pumpkin patch this afternoon. Although we made it out, it was bitterly cold and breezy, not what we had become accustomed to as of late. Regardless, Dagney and Paige were excited to show off their hand-knitted pumpkin hats from Aunt Jessie!

Dagney got to see goats, pigs, chickens and a cow, however her favorite was the goats. Be careful Dagney, that goat may lick your hand.

"He did, he did!"
And Paige was as pleasant as ever as she thoroughly enjoyed her pumpkin hat on this cold and breezy day.
Here Dad tries to articulate how this may not be the best pumpkin to turn into a jack-o-lantern because it may be a bit small.

Happy Birthday Mom!

As usual, Dagney was excited to see Dad come home from work. Dad quickly gave Dagney Mom's birthday card from her and Paige and could not wait to give the card to Mom.

I could have sworn Dagney said "Happy Birthday Mom!", but an argument could be made for "ba-ba-ba" or "nana".

Here is the birthday Mom and her two daughters blowing out candles and eating cake!

"YUMMY!"

And a final picture of Mom showing off her new bootie, a super blow-vac thingy she got from Grandma Connie.

Some more Park Pictures

Mom and Dagney on the teeter-totter.
Again, Dagney climbing her slide.

And a picture of Dagney actually going down the slide.

Grandma and Dagney at the Park

Grandma arrived last night and neither her nor Dagney could wait to head to the park Saturday morning. Dagney thoroughly enjoyed getting pushed on the swing by Grandma.

It wasn't long until Dagney wanted to show Grandma how she could climb to the top of the 13-foot slide all by herself and swoosh down the other side. Not only was Grandma impressed with her independence, ability to climb and slide down on her own, but how amibitious she was doing it over and over and over again.

That is a long way down...

Here we go!!!
