Peanut Butter

Dad was out of town this week so Nathan got to eat Peanut Butter crackers. He's a big fan!! I had to have the conversation with him about how he can only have peanut butter when dad isn't around........ Both he and Cooper enjoyed their peanut butter treat!

And Cooper's head pops up........


It doesn't help that Nathan now feeds the dog. No wonder she's gained weight.

Pumpkin Patch

When we were in Illinois a few weeks ago we visited the Arthur Pumpkin Patch with Landon and Kinley (and Mom and Jamie). It was awesome and definately put us in the fall mood.
Nathan enjoyed the wagon ride.

We discovered that Nathan really likes Apple Cider Slushi.

I mean.....REALLY likes it.

Spaghetti Night

Yes, I know its been awhile but its taken me some time to figure out how to downsize the pictures my new camera takes.

Here Nathan is figuring out how to eat spaghetti noodles.

Awwwww.......Luke laid down in front of Nathan and Nathan leaned over and gave his head a hug. It was so cute.

Nathan's reading tent

Nathan loves his new tent. Last week he starting going in there to "read" his books for 5 or 10 minutes at a time. Mom LOVES it!!!





Hello out there

Why can't I get this bat into the tent??!??!

I love reading! (He definately gets that from his dad.)

They grow so fast.....

When you have your first baby everyone always tells you how fast they will grow and you politely nod and smile and think......"uh huh, sure" without really understanding what it is they mean. At the end of the first year when you look back at all the thousands of photos you've taken it starts to set in. Then you put a few pictures together like those above and you think.....Oh my gosh, they really do grow up so incredibly fast.

Cousin Ryan comes to visit

Uncle Matt, Aunt Carrie, and Cousin Ryan came out to visit us over Labor Day weekend. We went up to Breckenridge and rode the Gondola up to the top of the Mountain! Matt and Luke rode the alpine slide down from the peak and now Uncle Matt wants to come back during Ski season.

Riding the Gondola....the boys weren't sure what to think....

Nathan liked cousin Ryan but wanted his old car seat back.

1 Year Photos

Here are a few of Nathan's 1 year old pictures! Can't believe he's so big already! Where does the time go?

Nathan John......what a year it's been! We can't believe it has gone by so quickly. Thanks for always putting a smile on our faces and for being our best little buddy. We love you.

Love, Mom and Dad
