Hip Hop Dance King Dax

Dax took a fun 4 week long Hip Hop Dance class, and here is his performance!

I want it to be my turn.

He's 2nd from the left. He was so cute with his hat to the side.

By far the best in the group!

Sausages, sausages

Sausages.

One day I asked the boys what kind of sandwiches they wanted for lunch. Dax, of course answered "sausage".

No, I don't let Dax just eat sausage all the time. He loves it so much that I have trained him to eat the "Morning star" brand, tofu kind! Much better for him.

Rock Band guitar solos!

Play these video clips when you have some time to laugh really hard! They are pretty long, but well worth the time. Sorry for my commentary :) I'll post ones of them singing karaoke with the game. They are even more funny! But these take hours to download, so it may be awhile. Until then, enjoy!

Dax does his guitar solo.

Here's Joey with his!

Niagara Falls, Canada! Spring Break 2009

Niagara Falls was so BEAUTIFUL! JJ, Joey, and Dax all had different weeks off for Spring Break! Go figure. So, we decided to let Joey miss a day or two, and head up north to spend the weekend in the wondrous city of Niagara Falls, Canada. It was the 1st time out of the country for all of the kids :) Yay for the kids! And the 1st time to Canada for Daddy. Mom has been to Canada in the past. It was nice to finally go somewhere out of the Country where JJ had never been before!! Except I have to confess, I was only 6 :) and don't even remember! I just have my families stories, and my souvenir of a pink plastic wallet with the logo of Expo '86 The Worlds Fair. But all the same, there is something exciting going to another Country. Even if it was only a few hours North East of us. We did stop at customs, and flash our long ago obtained passports, and birth certificates! The ask you questions about where your from and where your going. I'm sure to slip you up and make you nervous. Each time we passed through, we got an odd question. "You have 3 kids? Are they all yours?" Well yeah! We are Mormons.

We are now entering Canada!

Here we are in the tunnel under the Falls. And with our balloons in front of the Falls.

It was a fun time to go. The mist of the Falls left a thick coat of ice on all of the rocks and trees and grass. The boys found this very fascinating.

Isn't Daxie the cutest little cheese ball?!?! Ok, Goat cheese ball.

The boys made it clear how much they wanted to go see the Butterfly Conservatory. But, as soon as we walked in and all the Butterflies were flying all around us, they soon regretted it! It was so odd to see Joey so afraid! Lol! Well, maybe not so odd. But we paid for it, so we were going to see it! Much to all our surprise they had many of our favorites, the Blue Morpho, and the Monarch Butterflies. So many of them found it fun to perch on top of Lola's head!

Then we hit the WAY to expensive "Skylon Tower". For a ride up the elevator, an awesome view, and some very expensive food!

We got a bit nervous on the ride going up.

But once we were up in the revolving restaurant, we had such a wonderful view!

Even a great view of our next destination, The Sky Wheel.

Nice view from the Sky Wheel!

Before we left, we had lots of fun with all the different shops and "Museums" up and down the streets just next to the falls.

Last but not least, we stopped off at the Original Home of the Buffalo Wings. In Buffalo, NY.

Silly picture, after bath fun!

Dax goes to the Dentist!

It was time for Daxie to get his first X-Ray's and cleaning with the "tickle brush" as the boys have come to know it.

Boy, was Dax bouncing off the walls with excitement. To my dismay, he even grabbed the water/air tool, and sprayed across the room before I could stop him :) Luckily I am blessed with children who love the Dentist. Maybe that's because they have lived around Papa's office, and now the Dental Clinic which we call "Daddy's School". Soon enough Daddy will be our very own live-in Dentist!

I let Dax get a drink from the vending machines if he let the Dentist take "special pictures" aka X-rays. And he did! He also did well with the fluoride treatment for a mouth his size, it's quite narrow. And the outcome you ask? NO CAVITIES! Thanks Student Dr. Grant!

Happy 3rd Birthday Dax!

On December 27th, 2008 Tyson Dax Mirci turned the big 3.

For his Birthday breakfast he chose waffles. And as you can see he loved them, and the new Cars cup filled with his favorite juice.

That afternoon we went see the famous "Harlem Globetrotters" play! If you have never seen them, you need to at least once in your life. It's a fun thing the whole family can enjoy. Even Lola was kept occupied the entire game. And of course they WON!

At times the boys felt it got a bit too loud.

The Globetrotters always put on a good show. See the "grandma" who turns out to be a player! And then there is their mascot who I think was named Globie. He was always dancing around and throwing stuff at the audience.

Daxie wanted cupcakes for his party, so we got one vegan and regular for the rest of us. I have learned that most people don't find a vegan cake very tasty. Even if they didn't know it was to begin with. But Dax doesn't know the difference and he loved it so much he busted into the leftovers the next day and made a giant chocolate mess! His favorite gift was his "Taters of the Lost Ark" Mr. Potato Head. We love your sweet spirit, and always plentiful kisses Daxie. But most of all we love you! Happy Birthday :)

Silly siblings!

Joey requested this post!

Lola was completely hysterical, and Joey just wouldn't stop playing with her! It was so cute.

No two children have ever enjoyed taking a bath together, than these guys. Especially Lola. You have to bribe her to get her out!
