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

Back in CO

Who needs toys when I can play with boxes and paper!




Had to show off my Johnny Popper John Deere shoes. I can't believe I'm big enough to fit into them already!

New Toys

Nathan had a wonderful birthday thanks to all his family and friends. I would post pictures but the dog ate the memory card so you'll have to settle for a few videos of Nathan playing with some of his new toys. Nathan is such a lucky little boy to have so many people that love him so much. Thank you so much to everyone for making Nathan's first birthday so special.

Climbing....this is why mom is so tired.

Nathan's adventures!

Last weekend, Nick, Natalie and Cayle came into town for a baseball game. We made baseball cupcakes to celebrate Cayle's first Cubs game.

Cayle was sleeping here.....he should have saved his nap for the 8th inning when the Rockies scored 12 runs.

Nathan needed a break from the game so we wandered around the concourse for awhile. We found some fun photo ops. Maybe he's destined to be a major leaguer.

We found cousin Landon's boots in one of our bins and Nathan loves them!!! THey are so funny. I guess every kid in the family is bound to love John Deere! Grandpa Tony, Nathan's ready to come home to use his work boots!

Guess we should get him some other clothes to go with the boots.
