THE DAYTON FAMILY

A few weeks ago I started teaching dance classes on base! Kyla is in one of my classes! :)  

21 weeks: Our baby BOY!!! We are so excited to have another little one join our family in February! Taylor is especially excited for a little brother!

We headed north a couple of Saturdays ago to visit Havre, MT.  There was a parade, a farmer's market, a quilting competition, a BBQ competition, and a few other fun things going on. The Parade: It started about 45 minutes late...so we played while we waited a while :) There were about 6 of these ENORMOUS farming vehicles - I've never seen anything like them before...they were crazy big! Cuddles!!! Besides getting really good candy - Montana parades have so far been awesome in the parade candy department - one float was handing out Schwann's icecream - YUM!!! Pork on a stick :) Tay sharing with Ky: We ate lunch at the place with the 'best burgers in town' - so basically, it was good, but wasn't super impressive, haha! D entertaining Ky:

Last Wednesday, Taylor finally had surgery to fix his hernia. He was so nervous before, but then on the way home decided that it was fun because he got food and a stuffed animal. :) That first day he was sore & tired, but now he feels great and I just have to work to keep him from running around too much for a couple of weeks!   Waiting Room: Getting ready to go back: Recovering: Ready to head home: Ice-cream on the way: A card & present from grandma :) I'm glad that it's over with!!! Even minor surgery always makes me nervous!

Dayton Baby #4 is starting to create a nice baby bump: Taylor got a haircut yesterday - Air Force style :) I already miss his messy long hair!  I couldn't get him to take even one normal picture, silly boy!

We spent most of Labor Day about 2 hours south (& a little east) of Great Falls in a little town called White Sulfur Springs - population 950. We saw a cool cemetery with lots of birth & death dates in the 1800's - it was pretty neat! Then we watched the awesome parade that went up Main Street and then turned around and came back. Playing tag while waiting for the parade to make another pass: Oh yeah, and this crazy tiny baby girlie started walking this weekend! (She has a pack of smarties in her mouth - I guess she needed both hands for balance! Haha!) As the flag went by: The kids made out like bandits with tons of candy! (It's now in a jar hidden on the top shelf of the pantry...I'm letting them pick one a day, haha!) Then we had lunch at the Branding Iron Cafe, it was pretty delicious, but definitely a bit of a dive! After lunch we took a tour of a castle overlooking the city (actually a Victorian Era ...
