Dan My Man

Daniel also had a Birthday in April. It is a big month for us, and as you can see I am still trying to catch up. But I have a deadline now as Caleb's birthday is in 2 weeks so I must get Daniel's done today!

Happy 6th Birthday Daniel!
Daniel had his first birthday party without combining with Harmony. Thus the theme was Superheros!

We played Superheros Says, we had a Superhero Training Course, We broke a Spiderman Pinata, and had a Superhero Supper ( hotdogs) and a Superhero Cake.



It was a fun time for all!



Daniel's newest passion is Karate! He is in a summer program and right now he eats, drinks, and loves Karate (at least on Mondays and Wednesdays!) He's got some moves!


This is Daniel's buzz cut for the summer. When he got this he was still in kindergarten. He felt like a new man. He said "Mom, this haircut is going to change my life in 3 ways! 1. I will be able to run faster. 2. I will be cooler for summer and 3. Sara in school probably won't love me anymore because she will think I am going bald! (That was apparently a good thing.) He is so funny!

Daniel and his buddies are good at meditation. Everyday on their way to Kindergarten they would stop and get into positions and say "Ommmm, Ommmm." What great skills they are learning!

It was also pajama day at school that day. He did wear school clothes everyday, although I am not sure I fed him everyday.


We went to Lake Powell this June with my family. It was so fun. Dad bought this great 3 seater tube. It was so much fun. I think Caleb would have been happy to do nothing but ride that tube the entire time, he even had fun getting dumped off of it.

As you can tell, Daniel didn't love it as much. In fact on one ride he was with my sister Katie and her 3 year old daughter named Roccio "Chio". Midway through the ride he was motioning the boat by pointing at Chio and telling us to stop. Katie said the whole ride he was saying. "We better go slower...for Chio, this is too fast for Chio, I think Chio wants to stop." Way to protect Chio, Daniel!

All the kids to our amazement tried the knee board. Harmony screamed the minute she wasn't touching the boat. Caleb stayed on for a while and almost got to step two, where you hold the rope and not just the knee board. Daniel got dragged for 20 feet(by Mom) without letting go and in the end was more scared about fish nibbling his toes than almost being drowned.
It was a great time!

Daniel we love you and you are a very special member of our family!
