July has come and gone

Well the month is over and i just remember it starting. We were lucky to have my parents come for the 4th of July weekend. We did Fireworks and Nathan slept right through it. Then we had our friends from California The Uppers stay with us also. It was so awesome to have their family stay with us for a couple days. Then we were just busy the rest of the month. Hope everyone else out there is doing well.

nathan at school

Sorry i have not updated this for a long time. Life is just crazy. Just when i think i have a moment nathan wakes up or suddenly needs something right there and then. I thought i would share some of his school activities. He enjoys painting(or eating it). I think he liked the clean up part the best. Water day is definetly his favorite. They fill their sensory tables up with water and let them have at it.

Then in his new class the "Waddler class" he had a hawaiin dress up day. The picture may not quite demonstrate that he did have fun that day. Looks can be deceiving.

My first Oreo

When i was in California I spent sometime with Vii's sister Montez. We had a great time talking. She was telling me about Vii when he was a little boy. So from what i understand when Vii was little their mom would go to the store and buy Vii his own pack of Oreo's. (spoiled little boy) Well we were eating Oreo's and Nathan was sitting on the counter watching. Vii handed him one to be funny and of course Nathan was not going to hold back. Nathan had his first Oreo. He first looked at it, then put it up to his mouth, and then devoured it. It was good and messy. He loved every moment of it and so did we. Mom especially loved the cleaning up part. The look on his face was so priceless.

My first Bath toy

Nathan loves bathtime, but he has no toys to play with. So we went and got him his first toy. His first toy he had was a cup so i don't think that counts. We got him a basketball set. He likes the balls, does not know what the net is for. That's ok because he loves the balls.

Tight quarters

When we traveled to California we did it in two days. We took a break half way. Coming home we decided to do it in one. It was long but we made good time. When we stopped in St. George to stretch our legs and just so happened the Outlets were right there. We let Nathan and Logan stretch. The others were still sleeping.. Amy got creative and made a play area for them in between the seats. They had a blast.

Visiting the Grave site

When ever we go back home we always go to see Vii's Mom, Dad and Sister's grave site. I took Nathan up there before we left. He was asleep when we got there so i woke him up. I did not want him to miss out on something special. He may never remember but this is a tradition we would like him to remember. He had wonderful Grandparents and an Aunt that we tell him about and he will know about them and the great people they were.

At the Beach

Everyone knows that when your from California you love the beach. Well Nathan might not have been born there but if i had my way he would have been. So he has to love the beach. We took him back in November and he was not to thrilled about the whole thing. So we tried and again and i am not sure if he has my blood. I love the beach so any child of mine should or will love the beach. Nathan has his own mind and does not seem to like the beach. Bummer for me now i am odd man out.
