Small town football game...

It has been a while since my last post. Not much has been going on. School started the 18th. Jasmyn is now an 8th grader. She seems to be enjoying it so far. We are adjusting to the early morning routine again. The nights are cooling down. Temps are milder but the humidity is still high. Hannah has been growing. She finally moved into 3T pants. They fit length but are way too big around the waist. I even bought the slims with the adjustable waist and with them the smallest that they could go are a little big. Her hair is growing fast. I have heard people comment that she has adult hair and not baby hair. I am going to let it grow out this fall and winter. She still pulls out her hair ties after just a few minutes of having her hair up. Dolan is entering into the busy time with work. This year has been pretty bad with crickets. We had our first High School football game last night. Our boys won!!! I wish I could tell you the final score but the scoreboard was not working properly. Jasmyn took her usual place in the band and did a good job. We loaded Hannah up with her back-pack full of toys to the game. Saying good-bye to kitty Izzy.

All smiles and ready to go!

I had to post this picture. Jasmyn was trying to hide her face from the camera and when she turned this is what I got. I had to tell her that she looked like the boy sitting in front of her.

Finally, because she didn't want to be embarrassed.

My attempt at a picture of the two girls.

Lost her place for the music...

She found it.

Hannah enjoyed a huge lollipop.

We brought some bubbles to entertain Hannah. Deb was nice enough to blow them for her. Before long we had a whole group of kids joining in the fun. Hannah loved trying to catch them on her tongue! They went through the whole bottle of bubbles!

Hannah this morning.

~*~*~Dolan is concerned about the title of this post. He believes it misleading since there are not any photos of football.

I apologize for the title. My excuse...Lack of imagination.~*~*~

Creatures great and small...

This weekend we went to Denver for a B.C. Tour. We toured the Denver Museum of Natural History and also Dinosaur Ridge. Jasmyn had previous plans to go white water rafting and other various activities but she did join us for Casa Bonita. Here are the girls in front of the Casa Bonita fountain. Hannah watching a magic show.
Caught a decent picture of Jasmyn. She is laughing because she thought I was taking a picture of Dolan. The joke was on her.
I had a Caricature done of the girls. Here is the artist working on them.

After Casa Bonita I took Jasmyn over to her Aunt and Uncles.

The following morning bright and early the day started.

Hannah had seen a bird in the window. Had to get as close as she could.

Posing outside the museum on the wolf sculpture.

Hannah has recently become fearful. She has started showing signs of fear throughout certain activities and in movies. Fear reared its ugly head again at the museum.

When Hannah is fearful she plugs her ears. This is how she went through most of the museum. Poor girl!

Hannah and Joy. Joy is a favorite person of Hannah's. Joy runs the nursery at church and Hannah always has a great big hug waiting for Joy. Might also mention that this was in front of the T-Rex sculpture. Hannah wasn't too certain about it.

This is a farside cartoon that Dolan absolutely loved. Had to get a picture of it and post it for all.

Hannah and Dolan checking things out.

Checking out the display and ready for a nap.

We then headed over Dinosaur Ridge. Matt a local youth and friend strolled Hannah around. We had a lot of uphill walking to do...

Some of the unique dino tracks and fossils and such. The whole place was amazing!
