Fun with Mimi

Mimi came for a visit last week. Nathaniel had a great time. This is a hilarious shot in front of a "funhouse" mirror when we went out to eat.

And he and Mimi spent lots of time outside, playing. Here is a shot of them playing soccer.

Thanks again for the visit Mimi!

Silly Boy

Nathaniel has fun wherever he goes. And he usually does silly things. I asked him to brush his teeth one morning, and he comes out of the bathroom like that (see below). The bathroom counter was also covered in toothpaste. I am still not sure what happened.

A very rare nap happening.

We've had beautiful spring weather and played outside a lot. He loves to play in the dirt with his digger.

We found him like this asleep in his bed one night.

And Will took this one. What an expression.

Life is never dull with Nathaniel! And we are thankful for that. He gives us lots of laughter.

Cute Pictures

Here are a few that I have been meaning to post. The first one is blurry, from the Little Gym. I took him to a play day over spring break and he had a blast.

So pleased to have his own shopping cart. He even picked out some chips.

Some leaves he found that a bug nibbled on.

He loves playing outside.

Hiking and Camping Fun

I was out of town one weekend, so Will took Nathaniel hiking at one of our parks. They saw raccoon and bird tracks. Nathaniel was impressed with his own tracks as well.

Guess Daddy wore him out! And here's a picture from a recent camping trip. Nathaniel and his buddy Samir doing a pyramid during the scavenger hunt. Fun times!

Go Texan - Rodeo Day

Today was the rodeo day (or go Texan) day at Nathaniel's school. He was so excited that everyone was wearing their hats and boots. Here's a shot after we got dressed this morning.

Could he be any cuter?

Now some shots from school.

I know I am biased. But I really think my child was the cutest one there. :) Okay, I KNOW he was the cutest one there. :)

The Ladybug Relocation

As I was watching Nathaniel's swim lesson, I noticed that he was swimming toward the wall with his instructor and something was in his hand. They had found a ladybug at the other end of the pool. Nathaniel told me the bug was treading water and they saved it. He asked if he could keep it at home, but I told him the ladybug wouldn't be happy inside. We finally settled on relocating it to our yard in a bush of Nathaniel's choosing. For a brief, scary moment the ladybug was dropped in my car, but we recovered him.

I love how sweet and gentle Nathaniel is, and how he wanted to take care of the bug. The ladybug rested on a kickboard until the swimming lesson was over and we got to take ladybug home.

Sunset

We saw this sunset from our backyard on Valentine's Day. Beautiful!
