Hawke is 4 years old

On this day in 2004 Hawke Donte' was born

lots of toys




Theresa prepared goodie bags which included silly string



We had a swim party a the South Jordan Recreation Center

My family loves the camera

When I started this blog everyone whined about getting their photo taken but now we are self portrait central, Hawke took about 70 pictures of the television and then took a few of himself and Theresa was looking fabulous today so I askd her to take a few pictures for me.

Tooth Fairy

Tooth Fairy Update:
Mom convinced Kenya that the tooth fairy must bring a special prize on the first tooth only. Here is Kenya with her surprise from the toothfairy. She was soooo excited and has been the happiest child on the planet since receiving Funshine Bear along with 4 quarters.

Kenya lost her first tooth! can you believe she is getting so big and she pulled it herself (unlike Cicily who cried like a baby and wouldn't let anyone near her) great job baby! Kenya's classmate came in with a new bracelet from the toothfairy when she lost her first tooth...so apparently the new standard for the tooth fairy is jewelry, which is ridiculous, but I have no say in this I'm just a dad.

Auntie Tricia & Auntie Wendy

Recently we have been honored to establish a relationship with Theresa's sisters Tricia and Wendy for the first time via the internet, they live in Massachusetts and were kind enough to send Hawke and Kenya birthday cards and gift certificates.
Thank You for your kindness.

Ear Infection

Hawke had a virus that went around for about 3 days then he made a great recovery only to get an ear infection and 102 degree fever that lasted for about 4 days, he is all better now but this photo represents very little sleep for the past week

Self Portrait

I love my children they make me smile

Hair

It was suggested to me by my mother that I cut Hawkes hair and the answer is absolutly not, First off your only 3 years old once so why not have a giant blonde afro he will have the rest of his life to conform to society, mind you it takes quite a bit of time to comb it but we love it and him and wouldn't change a thing



Theresa has a Jack Lelane juicer and the kids usually get a healthy dose of beets and other veggies via the juicer, The remains of a beet and carrot juice session are on Hawke's top lip. Got Beets!

Arts & Crafts

Theresa opened the arts and crafts bin so that the kids could express themselves, Parker & Colton had fun & Hawke painted on the paper! Yeah!





Kenya made a very full landscape


Hawke went with a more modern abstract theme
