Nathan loves bikes. When ever dad gets home from school Nathan runs outside so he can sit on Vii's bike. He wishes he could ride it. He will say "I will put my helmet on and then I take the bike"
So the Pumpkin Patch behind my mom's house opened up. Nathan gets so excited becuase the owner brings out all of his tractor's and parks them in the front for the children to sit on.
Thats all he cares about. Who cares about the Pumpkins! He just wants to sit on all the tractors. I am not sure if he has a favorite or not, he just loves the tractors. Vii and Nathan went over one night and he wanted to try them all out.
He was not happy when Vii wanted to take a picture with him becuase then it took him away from "driving" the tractors.
Today we got off work early and decided to have a FUN night. We picked up Lex and then went to the Marvive's to see if they wanted to go have some fun. We were going to go to Jumping Jacks because we were told it was closer, but it was no longer there. We felt bad for the kids for waiting so long. Then we decided to go to Kangaroo Zoo so they could have some FUN. They were off the wall. Non-stop fun. This is the trip to put your kids to bed FAST. Nathan and his cousins had a blast. We sat back and enjoyed the company and watched them have a blast.

When ever Vii can he will come to school and pick Nathan up early. Today he picked him up early and went to McDonalds and had Ice cream cones. Then they went over to Sunnyside park by work. Nathan was having a blast on the playset. He had the whole area to himself. Then I got off a little early and suprised them. It was so fun to just hang out and play with Nathan.
After we played on the playset then he wanted to go swing for awhile. My favorite. I could swing for hours.
In September we went to "This is The Place park" with G-pa and G-ma. Nathan had fun walking around looking at all the cool things there. He got to wash clothes, pan for Gold, Ride a mini train and then Ride a train around the whole park.
Mom and Nathan panning for gold. I think mom did all the work.
Here Nathan and G-ma were petting the sheep.
G-pa and Nathan were practicing plowing like they did in the olden days.
Nathan and Vii went and played in the water for a little bit. Originally it was to wash Nathan off because he was so dirty. Then Nathan liked it so they played for a little bit. We took a family picture by this really cool stump that Vii wanted to bring home with us. We didn't but I bet Vii would have. After we left camp we stopped at the local Monastery and had a picnic and hung out with some friends from the ward. Then we went into the store and bought some homemade honey and jam. It was pretty cool. As soon as we got back in the car Nathan fell right to sleep. He was so exhausted.
Our ward had our Annual Ward camp on August 13th. We went up earlier this year. It was so much fun. We camped out by Huntsville, UT. The weather was great. We got the perfect spot to set the tent up. The little stream ran right behind the tent.
A bunch of us went to the reservoir and played in the water, Canoeing or just to watch. It was a nice little spot that was real calm. We had a blast canoeing. Nathan sat on the bottom of the canoe and put his hand out and played in the water while we went around the reservoir. After we were done in the canoe we sat on the bank and just watched. Nathan just wanted to play with the rocks and climb on the hill. He has no fear. Next thing we new he was almost to the top of the hill.Then went back to camp and had dinner and played games. Vii played ladder ball and nathan ran around playing with all the kids. Then we all sat around the campfire and told jokes and just hung out. Nathan fell asleep on Vii's lap. He was so tired.
