Many Photos

Garrick decided that since it had been such a long time since we updated the blog that he would throw on a bunch of random pictures to bring everyone up to speed on the last 8 months.
12/7/2006 Daks drove a remote control vehicle for the first time. His Uncle DJ showed him how and was nice enough to share with Daks. We were amazed at Daks' comprehension of how to control the remote!
This is Daks and his friend, Cali. We went to a Grizzlies Hockey Game. The kids were so cute! They had a lot of fun.
Halloween 2006 This was taken at our HOA Halloween party.
Daks Trick-or-Treating. He was so cute about carrying his own pumpkin to put his candies in! He'd go up to the doors and knock and hold out his basket. No "trick-or-treat!" Just the assumption that people would give him goodies if he knocked on their doors...
Garrick was Joe Dirt, I was one of Charlie's Angels, and we dubbed Daks "G.I. Daks".
Out to dinner at Buca di Beppo with friends.
This was when we got back from Hawaii and were picking Daks up from Grandma Julie's house. He's wearing the shirt we bought for him in Hawaii.
September 2006 Garrick and I were very fortunate to get to have a week long vacation in Hawaii! This was taken at Sunset on the last night we were there. We were able to visit friends and had a really good time! We sure missed Daks while we were gone, but it was so nice to have a vacation and spend some time alone together!
"Onion Days" Payson's Labor Day celebration. Grandma Melanie wanted to take Daks on the rides. We were nervous that he wouldn't sit down on this one. Grandma Melanie jumped up there to sit with him so she could hold onto him. That guy is telling her she can't be on the ride. When she was told she couldn't ride with Daks, she ran around the outside of it the whole time it was going! It wiped her out, but we were impressed at how long she kept up with it! It was pretty funny.
Daks and his cousin, Richard on another ride at the carnival. Richard put his arm around Daks. It was so cute!
This is Daks, sitting in the grass at my grandparents' house in Genola. This is a neat picture to me because of my background there.
Daks is helping Daddy with the laundry. At one point he climbed clear into the washer to pull something out.
Playing with Daddy's yo-yo at the Chiropractor.
Daks fed himself a banana. You can't tell very well in the picture, but his hair looked like Ken Doll hair it was so plastered and sticky!
Daks is showing off his new "star shoes".
Daks is sharing his crackers with Daddy. Daks would take a bite and then give the other half to Daddy. You should have seen Daks' face when Garrick bit the WHOLE cracker instead of only half! It was so funny! This was taken during the Auction at the Bundy Reunion. July 2006
Bundy Reunion races! This was the first year Daks was big enough to race. Even though Daks was only barely 1 we thought he'd have such an advantage over the other kids because he'd been walking for so long. The gun fired for the racers to start running and Daks took about 2 steps toward Daddy and then turned around and came back to me...
Hogle Zoo Summer 2006
For Grandma Julie for Mother's Day the grandkids each made her a tile to put in her garden. We are putting Daks' handprints in his and then decorated with little glass stones. His cousin, Preslee, put her bum print in hers... We all got a kick out of that.
Daks' One Year Birthday Party at Grandma Julie's! He was playing in the bubbles with his Great Grandpa Garrick. So cute to see Grandpa smiling!
Opening presents at Daks' 2nd One Year Birthday party.
The family all gathered at the Bell's for Talia's and Darillyn's High School Graduation Celebration. This is Daks and his 2nd cousin, Kianna. They are only 2 months apart and had a lot of fun together that day!

One Year Old!

We just can't believe our baby boy is already a whole ONE YEAR OLD!! But what a cute guy he is! Posted by Picasa

Daddy & Daks

Family Picture Time!

Okay, everyone, I have gotten behind again. I'm sorry! But I promise that this time it's not my fault. The whole blogging system was having fits for a while. I don't have much time right now, but I wanted to stick our new family photos up for all to see! May 22, 2006 Posted by Picasa

High Chair

One of Daks' favorite toys is his high chair. He is constantly climbing in the basket, or standing behind it to pull the seatbelt through. January 28, 2006 Posted by Picasa

We Can Share

Daks and I shared a candy bar. I ate the candy bar and Daks ate the wrapper. It seems to be his favorite part! January 27, 2006 Posted by Picasa

Play Ball!

Our neighbor, Dylan, came over to play. He showed Daks how to play "catch". We had to explain that Daks doesn't know how to catch a ball because he's small still. So Dylan would roll it to him. They both had lots of fun! Garrick taught Daks how to KICK the ball. We thought it ws pretty cute until the next day when Daks kicked a baby at church... January 26, 2006 Posted by Picasa

You Can Do It!

We keep thinking that Daks will walk soon. The closest we've gotten is that he will walk if we hold one of his hands instead of both. January 26, 2006 Posted by Picasa

Side View

Here he is again, from the side. Posted by Picasa

Taking A Nap

Daks was placed in his high chair to play. Next thing we knew he had fallen asleep! You can see the tips of his toes barely sticking out from under the tray since he always pulls that leg up under there when he's in the high chair. Again, as so often is the case, it didn't look very comfortable, but that doesn't seem to matter to him! January 25, 2006 Posted by Picasa

And He's Off!

I guess Daks was anxious to go on another trip before we even unpacked from the last one? He had lots of fun climbing all over these suitcases. When he wanted down he would get as close to the edge as he could, tip forward, and fall until his head hit the floor. Then he would try to pull the rest of his body down by crawling onto the floor. Once he got down he would turn around and climb back up again! January 24, 2006 Posted by Picasa

Little Monster

Daks so kindly ate my Church Lesson Manuals. As you can see, he was rather thrilled with himself about it, too. Little stinker. January 23, 2006 Posted by Picasa

Cute Boy!

If Daks keeps this up he may have a career in modeling. It cracks me up the poses that he gets into all by himself! In this picture Daks was originally heading for the lamp on Mom and Dad's bed. But he took a short break to pose for us. January 23, 2006 Posted by Picasa

8 Months Old

Daks thought he would rearrange Great Grandma Garrick's dishes. He's such a help! January 22, 2006 Posted by Picasa

Hot Fudge Face

Tia Tiah came to see us and Daks and I decided to go back with her and visit for a few days. Grandma Rosie took us out for ice cream and Tiah and I gave him little bites of our ice cream. Turns out he really likes it! He would get mad at us if we put the spoon in one of our mouths instead of his. And as you can see, he got it all over his face! January 18, 2006 Posted by Picasa
