Nathaniel turns one

Nathaniel turns one tomorrow. I can't believe he is turning one! It is so crazy. He has grown up WAY too fast! We all love him sooo much. The kids love playing with him and Abigail is the sweetest in the morning. She always hugs and adores him first thing when she wakes up. She wakes up so chipper!

Nathaniel is walking all over the place for about 3 weeks now!  And he is a chatty little fellow also! He seems to be a busy little guy....trying to keep up with his siblings! :  ) He loves swimming...well, its more like he loves to dunk his head under water and does not want to be held.  Haha!! I might have to get swim lessons for him....I got swim lessons when I was 9 months old cause I kept walking my walker in the pool. So, I guess he is not too young. :  )

My aunt gave him a bear that he loves so much...he sleeps with it every day! And likes to pretend to wrestle with it! He is all boy! He also likes to look at books. We celebrated his brithday when Kevin's parents were in town and he got 2 books and he loves them. He especially likes the one with animals on it.

Enjoy some pics of Nathaniel. He still has 2 big dimples...everyone loves them! He is our special little guy!







Our adventures for the month of August!

Here are some pics from the month of August.  Before we moved, we had a pretty good little routine for the summer. We would play in the morning and Nathaniel would take a nap, then the boys had swim practice at the Y from 11-12. So, I would put Abigail and Nathaniel in childcare at the Y while I worked out.  Our good friends would do the same and so Abigail and Nathaniel had friends to play with.  Then, the Y had free lunch for any child at the Y. So, we would feed the kids lunch then head home. There are a few pics from the boys eating lunch. They were usually pretty hungry from swim practice! :  )






My mom and I drove from Las Vegas to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl in the two cars and Kevin and my dad and the kids flew in an airplane. Yes, I left my children to my dad and husband and drove across country! My mom and I were looking forward to time together!! We did great! We did it in 4 days and so it was pretty tiring! The kids and men did great on the airplane!!!  We spent a week at my parents in Ft. Lauderdal and then went on vacation in Ft. Pierce for 2 weeks with my parents and my brother and his family and my aunt and uncle and my cousin and his family! It was a wonderful vacation.  We went to the beach, pool, played tennis, took walks, played lots of card games and played with cousins!! So fun! Caleb learned a few new card games....he really likes Punce now (which is also Dutch Blitz).  He does pretty well!!








So we are now in Sebring, Fl and started school.  We are trying to get a little routine down with school and going to the Y and doing our homeschool group.  We went to the children's museum the other day and that was fun.  We have swam in our pool a little also. Our house is coming along...we can't wait to move in. We will see...hopefully only a few more weeks.
