Best Friends

There are a lot of best friends around the house lately: Danny and Mommy, Danny and Peanut, Danny and Picasso, Danny and the pool, Ava and Emma, Ava and the American Girl Dolls, Danny and the washer.

Fiesta

Another great week for Daikeler Family West. Wouldn't be surprised Danny either walks or speaks French this week. After a visit to the office for "take your kids to work day", Ava continues to do great in school with testing all week. Thanks for sharing!

Ava's 9th birthday

Ava’s birthday party was a 9 year old’s dream come true... her very own fashion show for Ava and her friends. Father and step-father played paparazzi at the end of the catwalk.

Nik Nik Nik...new photos!

Robin and her family were in town last week and got an "Orange Carpet" tour of the animation studios at Nickelodeon. They met the voice of Sponge Bob as he was recording a session, and the created of the series. Danny met Joe, and Ava and Joe got some quality time.

All in all we had a nice time hanging out for a little Spring break.

I especially enjoy the game my sister and Ken play, where she swings an orchid from her scalp and Ken tries to eat it.

More of the Big Show

Ava's two week run closed today with a packed house. I was in the front row and got some nice shots to share. Watching her perform made me crave my days in the parking lot, jockeying 5:00 show cars to make room for the 9:00..."Keys above the visor, don't lock all the doors"... I guess there's a little Playhouse left in this family after all.

March Madness

Are Danny and Ava auditioning to become Byer's Choice Carolers?

No, he's just having a blast on his favorite new toy, and Ava's playing a "Lady in Waiting" in the laugh out loud romp of "Once Upon A Mattress" playing at the local theater.

In Like A Lamb

Here are some early March photos for those keeping track!
