Nathan's 2nd Birthday

Our baby boy is two today! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. We have a big party planned today with most of our family and friends coming to celebrate. I keep trying to teach Nathan how old he is by holding up two fingers, and telling him about birthdays, but his answer to everything is NO. He is definitely a two year old.

Vacuming

Nathan and his new hobby, vacuming. I'm thinking that the "need to clean" is a genetic trait in our family.

It's a good night for a ride, babe's asleep and daddy's home, I'm playing!


I love this picture, I'm happy and skinny and loving life!

Nathan hardly let's me take a picture of him anymore, he has figured out that he can see the photo that I took on my camera. In this picture he is asking me to see the picture that I haven't even taken yet. I love this kid!

Also I am proud to say that Nathan knows most of the alphabet, can recognize the numbers1-10 and knows all of his colors...He's so smart!

3 Years

Today is our three year anniversary! We are spending the day together in Spokane shopping, dinner and then we are going to pick up a dishwasher. Yahoo! I don't have to wash dishes any more!!

This has been the best three years of our lives, we both have everything we have ever wanted. Looking forward to many more wonderful years together.

Summer is here!

Nathan at the beach and loving it!


Nathan tasting his first Otter Pop. I normally limit the amount of sweet he eats but today was so hot I let him eat 4.

Summer has finally arrived and we are loving it! We went to the beach twice this week and today we played in our creek in the back yard. Nathan loves to dig in the sand and throw rocks. He's not quite brave enough to go into the water but he will get his feet and his hands wet. He HATES it when Mama decides it's too hot and splashes some water on him. He will point to his clothes that are now wet as if to say "Look at what you did, now I'm all wet!" This afternoon when we went to the creek for the second time today, it was so hot, and the water felt so good, I just sat down in the creek with all my clothes on for almost a half an hour....Nathan thought I was nuts.

Around the house

Nathan and Daddy mowing the yard. I looked out the window and Daddy was carrying Nathan in one arm and pushing the mower with the other.

Nathan and Daisy headed out to play, I'm glad we have so much space for them to explore.

Nathan and Daisy playing, they are the best of friends!

Mama and Nathan playing in the grass.

Daisy Mae

We made homemade play dough, Nathan is not quite sure what to do with it.

Too funny!

Nathan has started throwing his temper tantrums in front of the mirror. Sadly, I think that comes from my side of the family.....this kid is too funny!

Nathan is also really into singing songs with hand movements like itsy bitsy spider, and twinkle twinkle little star. He really doesn't sing much but he likes move his hands along with the song.
