One big happy family

The Reece boys on vacation.

Nathan's Grandma's sure enjoyed meeting him and definitely weren't ready for us to leave.

Nathan's first Birthday Party!

Mama and the birthday boy, he just woke up from his nap and the house was full of people, he's not quite sure what to think.


Presents!

More presents!

Happy first Birthday Nathan!

Blowing out his first candle.

Mmmm.... cake.

I just love this picture where he is stuffing his face.

Covered in frosting, time for a bath.

Nathan had a wonderful 1st Birthday! Great Grandma Jeanie put the party together and invited everyone for us, it would have been kinda hard to plan a party in California from Washington, so I really appreciated her help, plus I think she had fun doing it. Nathan wasn't quite sure what to think of everything at first, he had gone down for a nap before the party started, and when he woke the party was in full swing with more than 30 people in the house. He warmed up quickly and had lot's of fun playing with all the kids and opening his presents, he didn't eat much dinner, but boy did he eat cake!

I learned something really neat about Nathan at this party, It turns out that there are several people in Billy's family that have the same birthmark as Nathan. Great Grandma Jeanie pointed it out to me, she has the same birthmark on her forehead, her sister has it, as well as her dad, and Nathan is one of several cousins who share the same birthmark in the same place.

We had a WONDERFUL visit to California! We stayed with Nathan's Great Great grandma Margelene and Nathan and I finally got to meet the rest of Billy's family, and most of Billy's friends. It was really neat seeing where Billy grew up, and he enjoyed showing me around town. We even went to Billy's 10yr High School Reunion, it was really fun for Billy to re-connect with his buddies.

Chasing Seagulls

Mmmm... huckleberry ice cream.

My cute guys with chocolate ice cream on their faces.

It's been a while since I have updated the blog, so I figured I would pick up where I left off. These photos of our trip to Riverfront Park and Nanny's house were taken the middle of July, before we left for California. We had a wonderful day at the park, it was both Billy and Nathan's first time to Riverfront Park. Nathan chased Seagulls, and we all enjoyed ice cream, it was Nathan's first taste of ice cream and boy did he like it! We had a nice visit with Nanny too, but she needed some work done around the house, so we let Nanny chase Nathan around while I washed windows, and Billy fixed rain gutters. I'm really glad we live close enough to help her out.

California

California here we come! Today we are going on vacation to California so that Nathan and I can meet the rest of Billy's family. It will be Nathan's first trip out of state, and on an airplane. It will be a long day of traveling, but we are going to have so much fun on our vacation that it will definitely be worth it. Nathan's first birthday is July 22nd and his grandma Jeanie has put together a birthday party for him. We also have plans to go to Billy's 10 year High School Reunion which should be alot of fun.

Our 2 year anniversary

Our handsome daddy.

Cute baby!

Nathan inspecting all the rocks.

Nathan is just covered in dirt and sand, and loving it!

For our 2 year anniversary we just decided to relax. We have been so busy with moving and fixing up our new place that we hadn't had any time to spend together as a family. We spent the day playing in the creek behind our house, taking a long nap, and then we made a fancy dinner of New york steak, prawns, corn on the cob and cheesy mashed potatoes.

4th of July

Nathan walking.


Nathan and Uncle Jimbo enjoying all the great food. Nathan was really cute, I made him a plate of his own which he ate, and then he proceeded to go around to everyone else and eat off their plate too. He was one hungry boy!

Cute little strawberry covered face, this boy loves strawberries.

We went to Aunt Barbra's for the fourth of July. Nathan and I had a great time visiting family and enjoying all the great food.
