Spent the day at Grandma Davis' beach house with cousins William (2 1/2) and Warner (4 1/2).

Valen loved their little dog. He was actually lying on the floor with it 5 seconds earlier than this photo!

amazing treasures!

Valen was so deternined to get this kite up in the air!


learning how to skip rocks.

Entertained by a big annoying dog.

Valen was terribly afraid of the sprinkler! He kept running straight up to the house crying when he would get wet or even close!

Valen LOVES to play games. He definitely picked that up from his mommy and daddy! His favorites are Yahtzee TURBO, Uno ATTACK and Twister. He begs me all day to play Yahtzee turbo with him, but I refuse and tell him he will have to wait until daddy gets home (it is really obnoxious and loud!) I love playing Twister with them though. Dahlia tries so hard to do it right and usually wins where as Valen moves his hands and feet all over the place randomly. But he does love to do the spinner. Most of the time he actually calls out the right color and limb too! just imagine a sweet little boy with a lisp calling out "RIGHT HAND ON GREEN!" He is way too much fun!

We have this book Bent Objects, (which I highly reccommend) that Dahlia and Valen love to look at together. Here Dahlia is explaining the pictures to him. She really has no idea why they are funny, but trys really hard to. The next time you come over to our house, you should check it out.

Valen is really into puzzles lately. He has an eye for matching things. We got this one in the mail today and he had no problem figuring it out.So proud of him!

I asked Valen what he wanted for dinner the other night and he responded with "salad". He is the funniest guy. What kind of a two year old likes spinach!!? Whenever Justin and I have salad and don't put any on his plate, he usually ends up eating half of it... can't complain! (:

Valen loves playing baseball.. even though he rarely hits the ball, he still has the best time. and every time he swings he twirls around and plops down on the ground, so cute! (:

chairs are so much more fun upside down of course.

early morning veggie tales while mommy sleeps in.

late halloween costume... a bit small but so stinking cute! he loves running around in it, especially the gloves!
