Fun Visit

Aunt Hillary and Uncle Shelby came to visit us a few weekends ago. We had such a great time. Here are some shots of Aunt Hill playing with Nathaniel. They had a car show at the park while we were there playing.

And here we are making some cookies. As you will see further down, most of the flour ended up on his shirt.

Nathaniel had a great time with Rafe and Oakley too. Unfortunately I don't think they enjoyed him as much. We can't wait to see Hill and Shelby again!

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a fantastic Mother's Day. I am so happy to be a mother to this fantastic little boy. And I am grateful for my own wonderful mother and mother-in-law.

Happy Easter

Today Nathaniel and I decorated Easter eggs. We had a blast. The weather is usually so nice this time of year that we can sit out on the patio. Today was a gorgeous day.

And the other day he had an egg hunt at school. I didn't get any pictures of that, but I hid the eggs for him a day before so he could practice. I come back in and he tells me that Otis has been "Easter-egged." Hmm. Wonder who did that. Poor Otis.

And one last cute one. 

And I had to look up these pictures because I had a memory today of him hunting Easter eggs in his diaper. And there were the pictures! He's such a big boy now.

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!
