Nathan's new pride and JOY

Nathan loves bikes, trucks, buses, and motorcycles. If you heard him all he talks about is "bicicles" meaning motorcycles. Our neighbor tried to take him on a ride and he chickened out. So sad. So for his birthday he got a Radio Flyer scooter and Helmet. He talks about it all the time. When he wakes up his first words are mom any more, it's "cooter". I don't mind being replaced i just wish that scooter could change diapers.

Happy 2nd Birthday

It is official. Nathan is now Two. He has grown up so fast.

I have to tell you about this t-shirt. I saw it in a Family Fun magazine(the Idea) so i thought for Nathan's first Birthday i wanted him to wear something cute. Then this idea popped in my head so i wrote with a bleach pen "I'm" and then drew the cool hand. I think it's so cool. I am going to send it to my sister Shelley so Greyson can wear it (he will be two on the 26th of September) and then she can send it back to Amy so Logan can wear it.(he will be two on the 27th of October) We will call it the "traveling two's shirt".

If you want to make a shirt like this all you need is a bleach pen, chalk,a shirt, and waxed paper. Then draw your design with chalk, put wax paper in between the layers and then draw your design with the bleach pen. Allow it to sit for ten minutes to two hours. Mine took about two hours. Then i washed it by its self and their you go. "Easy as Pie"

Evening at the Park

The weather was so nice and we had nothing to do so we met up with Amy and the kids at the park. We had a lot of fun. They just ran and used up all their energy. (secret to putting kids to bed) This park is fun but is for older children. They have a rock you climb up to get to the slide. Their are no railings or guards. It is pretty scary when they just want to go and be so independent.

First Day of Transitions

Today is Nathan's first day for Transitions at school. This is when he slowly moves into the next class. He will now be in the Two's class. He is growing so fast. He loves to where dad's sun glasses. He is officially "Mister Cool"

Our First Official Camping Trip

We went camping with our ward out somewhere past Park City. It was so much fun. We set up our tent and it started to rain. Then just hung out. Then we went Canoing for the first time for all of us. It was fun. Nathan stood in the middle and at one time he wanted to paddle then he didn't and then he did not want me to touch the paddle. Very opinionated. Then we went up to the fire pit and had smore's. Nathan only wanted "Cackers". He got tired so we put him to bed and then we played some games. We came back to the tent and he had thrown up over his pillow, my pillow his blankets and my blanket. It smelled great and now vii and i would not have a blanket to sleep with. That night was very cold. I did not sleep well. It's the sleep where every 10 minutes you wake up hoping it's morning. Luckily Nathan and Vii were warm. Then in the morning it rained, and rained, and rained. Vii went and packed up and then we left. Nathan was not a happy camper at the end. I told Vii we need to go one more time before it gets to cold so that we don't end the camping experience on a bad note. So if you know of a good place or want to go camping we would love the company.

Daddy time

Since Vii has been off work he has been able to spend more time with Nathan. They went to the Zoo the other day. Nathan loves this time he gets to spend with Daddy. Vii said they watched the Bird show and it was not even over and he fell asleep. That sounds like Nathan.

Were still here

Sorry everyone who reads our blog. We have just been busy and life just sometimes takes over. We had a family reunion catching up is taking longer than I thought.
Nathan is getting so big and will be turning 2 in three weeks. It has been so fast. I have looked back at the past two years and I am so sad it has gone so fast.This picture is old but i saw it on my computer and i had to post it. He was so chubby and Kissable. Look at that boy.
Well he has a few new words that he loves to say... "awesome", "bicicle"(motorcycle), "Papa"(grandpa), "Kis"(Uncle Chris), "soccer ball", "sa"( his teacher Neusa), "ookie" (cookie) - which now his father has taught him how to eat an OREO. Last weekend Vii and Nathan had a moment of sharing OREO's. Vii showed him how to dunk it in milk then eat it. So you can only guess how many he ended up eating.
