How sitting on Santas lap went this year

Hunters First Day of Wee College

 We are so excited that Hunter gets to attend Wee college. We weren't planning on registering Hunter until next year, which is when he is allowed to attend. Normally you would start at age 4, but because Hunter was born in January hes quite advanced, and was definitely ready for something like wee college. So the teacher allowed Hunter to join a year early, and today was his first day! He was so excited, he packed all his toys and his milk the night before in his backpack, and hung it on his coat hook, ready to go in the morning. Of course it had to be emptied out for his new bible and homework.

I was nervous as to how he would do, having to sit in a chair and follow instructions. It was hard for him at times, and he kept asking if he could get out of his chair and play but everytime I said No, he said ok. I'm sure today was a bit overwhelming. He is a month behind so we have some catching up to do at home, but I think hes going to fit in very well. He loved the puppet time, that was his favorite part. 

 Showing off his backpack, which we found out was too small, so off we go to find a bigger backpack!

The smile Hunter prefers to give the camera. At least he gave me a nice one first!

Exciting news from the Dyck Household

We are so excited to share with you our exciting news this past week. Take a look at the video below to see whats been so exciting at the Dyck Household this week! Enjoy!

Monkeying Around

Kayden has definitely proven to be completely different from Hunter. Hunter has always been our careful, by the rules kind of boy, but Kayden, well here are some pictures of what we are now dealing with. Something new for Nic and I.

Little Monkey! He climbs on his chair, then atop his table, and then peers over the ledge above his head! And of course I always have to keep from laughing when I see him do this, I am supposed to discipline him, but its so hard sometimes, hes soo cute!

Kayden thinks this is the funniest thing hes ever done, he just laughs his head off while holding on!!

All about Bikes

Hunter and Papa have always loved going on bike rides together. Its really made me want to get on a bike again after so many years. Hunter got a new bike this summer and I'm using Carols old bike. I'm looking forward to the day that Hunter is ready to go out on his bike all by himself and we can go on bike rides together too!

We also found out Kayden loves bike rides just as much as Hunter. 

Hunters new Bike. Thanks Nana & Papa!!

Brotherly Love!

Kayden not understanding why he had to wear this hat...

Now we understand, and we love bike rides.

Kadyen loved his first bike ride, and just sobbed after he had to get off.

Pool Parties

Being that its our last summer in our townhome, we are taking every opportunity to enjoy our swimming pool. We don't get to use it much, as it is a very cold pool. However when its really hot out, you can be sure to find us there!! I'm so proud of Hunter this year. Last year he never went further then the pool steps. This year hes actually swimming in the pool and for long periods of time. Next year we are looking forward to a really big backyard all to ourselves, where we can do slip n' slides, wading pools, and sprinklers. Even better when your 2 and 4 years old!!! 

Below are some friends of ours that joined us one day for a swim!!

Hunter's Knock, Knock jokes....he makes them up all by himself.
