Sunnies

Looking good in Papa's Sunnies.

Kinetic Sand

Silas got some Kinetic Sand for Christmas.

Papa and Silas make a masterpiece.  He likes to show his goofy smile.

Hey, whose present is this?  I think papa likes it even more.

Christmas Photo

Better late than never!

Cooking

I suspect there are a few health-code violations being broken here.

I'm glad he is wearing an apron.

He is a happy chief!

Carols in the Park

We didn't have the best seats in the park, but we still had fun.

Silas didn't know what to expect.

Somehow Silas found a better seat.

When daddy's shoulders became tired, a good friend Zac took a turn.

Jungle Gym

I think we have a monkey!

Some Hawaii police were more than willing to show Silas their car.

Yard Work

I wonder how long this will last...

Ice cream

With Silas' allergies, it is not easy to find safe ice cream.

But, New Zealand Naturals has some!

At the beach

Silas and Papa are getting pretty good at building sand things!

Servant Silas

I don't know if Silas was just being a great servant,

or he just liked playing with the water dispenser!

Bowling

While we were in Hawaii, we had a chance to go bowling. 

As it turns out, Silas is a natural.

Look at all those pins fall.

On this one, he is so confident he turns to clap long before the ball gets to the pins.

Here is some live action.

Fire Truck

When we were in Hawaii, we visited a Hawaii Discovery Centre. They had many things to see and do, but Silas just wanted to play on the firetruck. So, we played on the fire truck.... over and over again. How fun. 

Pinball

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Silas Swings

Silas swings on his own.

Pumpkin Carving

Step 1 - Try not to cut yourself!

 

I don't know what Silas was expecting, but it wasn't this.

Ok. Gross is fun.

I think mum is having as much fun as Silas.

Initial carving is done.

Now Silas wanted to use papa's drill to make "a few extra" holes.

And a few more extra holes.

Perfect.

Toy Story

I'm finally back to blogging.  Only 5 months behind!!!!

Here is Silas dressed up for Calvary Chapel Pearl Harbor's Hallelujah Celebration (in place of Halloween).

He is Woody from Toy Story although he has never seen the movie.  He was quite fond of the outfit, except for the hat.  Hmmm, no wonder.

Fun with Oma in Oahu.

Silas couldn't understand the idea of collecting candy in a pumpkin.

Thanks Oma for explaining it to him.

The Many Faces of Silas Jair

What might Silas be when he grows up?

Fireman?

Astronaut?

Chef?

Doctor?

Construction worker?

Or maybe he'll just sing for the village people!

Jacaranda Tree

What a great tree...

Silas was trying to scoop up all the flowers.

It is quite a job!

Here is an action video.

Guitar Balance

Sometimes Silas just does something silly.

In this case, Silas was playing with my cheap guitar (he is not allowed to touch my Taylor) and accidentally made it stand on end.

We are such proud parents!

Colin Buchanan Concert.

Silas loves Colin.

Before the show, Silas was playing with the other kids.

Or no... he was actually wanting to read his book.

Once inside, he was excited.

 Here's Colin

Silas sings along

 What a fun day.

In preperation for our Hawaii trip, we made a sand croc.

It also helps for Silas to be wearing a croc T-shirt.
