Dressing Up...

Shane and I were out back talking and pushing Ledger in the swing, Hallie and Ryker were inside playing in her room. About fifteen minutes later they come out holding hands, Hallie saying look mom, Ryker wanted to be an indian. Within a second, I said what is on your face? Hallie spoke up and said I used a black marker to make him look like an indian. Oh great, hope it isn't a permanent one. I told him it probably wasn't going to come off and then I headed inside to grab the camera. He looked like this the rest of the evening, even told me he wasn't going to wear shoes anymore, because indians don't! Luckily soap does wonders even with marker. He screamed the whole time I scrubbed and said he wanted to be an indian forever. The joys of dressing up and getting to be someone else for a day. Holding his arrowheads bought at the fair
Hallie, our awesome artist

She thought she should be in one pic because she did such a great job.

That is adorable! There is nothing better then when your kids know who they want to be in life. An artist and an indian. It just doesn't get any better! :)

sooooo cute. Too bad he and Easton arent the same age. Although it might be pretty scary when the two of them got together.

Melissa, I'm not even sure at which Party I ordered that at. I thought it was Nicole's? I catalog ordered it because I couldn't make the party. I love their stuff! I remembered that you were a demonstrator, and I just might need to have a party soon, I'll let you know!

The greatest joy and reward in this life is to see what a wonderful family your children have become. Ryker, keep practicing being an indian, we will have a Catfish pond soon. And the perfect pony is in the pasture. Hallie, you are my dearest Princess, with great artistic talent. And "Mom & Dad", you are both the best of Parents, and a great team. I love you all so much and could never be prouder! I love the pictures!!!
