The Uigaese's go to the State fair

A couple weeks ago we meet up with the Marvive's and went to the State Fair. We have never been before so we thought it would be a great experience. FIrst we walked around and checked everything out and then went to the live stock area. We saw sheep being judged and then went over to where the cow's and sheep were. We got to see them sheer a sheep and then milk a cow. Very interesting. We also saw very obseen things from the cow's. I just had to remember "Everyone poop's". Then we went over to the food area and each went to different booths to eat. Let me tell you if you weren't poor before you were after. It was outrageous at how much everything cost. We ended up sharing alot. The rides were about $5-$8 so needless to say we did not get to ride those wondeful rides. Then before we left we walked through all the craft booths and things like that. It was fun. I think we would go again we would just be more prepared.

Nathan's 1st B-Day

On Nathan's actual birthday we took muffins to school and shraed them with his friends. Then after school we went to the Marvive's to help Amy pull out a stump and decided to just have his cake at her house. Nathan had an Oreo cake of course. Well he saw it, squeezed it, and then was done with it. He got good and messy.

Then we had a little party on saturday. We had blow up pools out and put rubber duckies in them. If you want to have a pool party at the end o f august i suggest you buy your small blow up pools early. We spent all morning calling places that did not have any left. Finally we were just going to ditch the whole idea and so we went to Smith's to get the food. When we were the there my wonderful mom sfound a small blow up pool in the clearance basket. What are the odds. So we called amy and told her to look at her Smith's and sure enough she found 15. She brought over 3 or 4 and we had a great thing. When it was time for cake Nathan was not real into eating the cake but he sure had fun making a mess of it, which i find more fun anyways. We had fun and he enjoyed playing with everyone. He put on a good show.

Nathan gives back

So today is exactly one week before Nathan turns the Huge One. When i say huge it is. He has grown so fast. I makes me so sad. He is not the little Nathan, baby Nathan. He is now just Nathan. I started to reflect yesterday with Amy all the many things we went through when we had him. Being at the hospital and Nathan being in the NBICU. It's like a family there. They are the ones that support you while he is there. They were my family for awhile and how do you repay someone that has done so much they don't even know. Everyone up at the University Hospital was so great. So i told myself i would do something on Nathan's birthday to repay them. I came up with a few ideas but boy does time go by and then nothing is done. I wanted to give them blankets ( i am still working on those, they have been started), then i thought books (Nathan has plenty to share) then maybe a treat, but that only helps the nurses for the moment, not saying that is bad becuase everyone needs treats sometimes. So i am still in deep thought as to what to do in 7 days and counting for these little babies in the NBICU and the wonderful staff up there. i am willing to listen to any ideas.

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.
