Dakota - Week 13 - Three Months Old

Dakota - Week 13 - Getting Ready for Camp

There is a lot of excitement building around the house.  The news is in and Momma has decided the she and the girls are going to come to Memorial Day weekend with Daddy and me.  So its family camping time.  And of course that means we need to get ready for the volleyball tournament... What you say, the minimum age requirement is 12... check out these moves and see if the NJ Foy family should get a waiver...

 Connor spikes on Sierra...

 Sierra returns the favor...

 Tazz bump-sets Connor...

Dakota also got into the spirit by trying out grass for the first time in out backyard.  I think she liked it!

And then at the end of the week - Uncle Sean and Devon came by for a visit on their way to camp...  We had LOTS of fun... so much that we wore everyone out...

 But before long it was time to get cleaned up and pack for camp...   See you there!

Note:  Two cool pictures Momma really wanted to share...

High flying...

 Sierra's teenager look...

Dakota - Week 12 - Family Fun

This week was full of family fun - from the Pennington Day Festival which we enjoyed with Gigi and PopPop to baking brownies with Momma.   It was yummy fun all around...

Connor's first ice cream cone.

Petting a bunny at the petting zoo.

Sierra of course found the cutest little piglet to pet.

Grain pellets were the food of choice for the sheep.

Side note: Daddy and Dakota held their first father daughter chat.

Did I mention we made brownies?  As the chef we had to taste them...

and taste them some more!  Daddy gave them an A+.

Oh and did you  know Sierra is strong enough to hold Kota?  Well almost...

Momma is still working on getting us all in a row and smiling for the camera...

But she is quick the the shutter and managed to capture this sweet moment.

Dakota is a woman of many faces... Momma just loved the checks and and chin in this one...  Who do you think was more focused on the TV, Dakota or me...

Sierra put her new cutting skills to the test with Daddy.  Great job sis!

And I took to the air with some extra special style...

Dakota tried for some air too in her Jumper-a-roo... She is still working on the jumping part!

Dakota - Week 11 - Happy Mother's Day

What two words start with the letter M and are lots and lots of fun????  That's right - Moms and Mulch.  Now you might be asking what mulch and moms have to do with one another - but if you were around our house this Mother's day the answer would be obvious.  Momma started the Mother's day weekend off with a huge (two truck loads) delivery of much for our endless gardens...  I thought it was pretty neat to get our own visiting dump truck.

 Not to mention my own mountain to climb...

And then came the Moms... Both Nanny (with Grampy of course) and Grandma came over to celebrate Mother's Day.

Flowers were the gifts of choice for this year.  Momma picked pretty rose bushes for her present.  This one is called sentimental...

But it wasn't all work this weekend - we also had a huge case of the sillies which Momma managed to capture...

We hope we made you laugh out loud!

Dakota - Week 10 - New Things and Some Old Ones Too

This week was a mixture of activities for Sierra, Dakota and me.  Sierra had the most exciting new activity - or at least that is what you would think my Momma and Daddy's reactions...  This week Sierra pushed her pee into the potty for the very first time.  Momma ran to get the camera but Daddy was really quick getting Sierra's diaper back on... so here is the shot to commemorate the event...

Dakota's excitement for this week was all about her hands - or her little fists I should say. For the first time Dakota was able to bring her little hands up to her mouth all on her own.  She has enjoyed having this pacifier that never leaves her.

For me, this week was one where Momma finally realized that trucks were going to become as popular in my world as Thomas the Tank Engine was last year.  If you come to play you are sure to be asked if you want to play trucks with me.  The digger is my favorite.  Fortunately Daddy and Sierra like to play trucks too!  I'm still waiting on a answer from Dakota... Do you think she likes trucks?

Momma also become excited by one more event this week - its old hat to Daddy and me but a new trick for Dakota.  Momma hopes this means an easy transition is in store for when she heads back to work next month.
