Birthday Boy!

This is Nathan's Lego cake. We had a Shrek Pinata and guess how many M&M's in the jar.
Make a wish!
Grandma Cathy has been waiting a whole year to give Nathan Ice cream and Cake!
Yum! Yum! Yum!

Yosemite Vacation

Nathan looked so cute in his little tuxedo! It was my nephew Richard's that he wore at our wedding. It was so fun to get dressed up and go to a fancy wedding.

Yosemite Vacation

We went to Elizabeth and Nathan's Kling's wedding in Yosemite National Park. They are our friends from Italy. We were able to spend a couple of days there for the wedding. It was so beautiful.
Yosemite Falls!
Bugs!
Nathan loved being carried around by his daddy like a little kangaroo.
They got married at Glacier Point. It was so beautiful. From Glacier Point you can see Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and El Capitain.

Mom's are silly

I had so much fun using smilebox to make evites for Nathan's birthday party I couldn't help but make three! I am excited to have a little party for Nathan because it is a good excuse to get all of our friends together and its more for me anyway right now, right? I feel like it is a good excuse to have all of our friends come to our house! I am excited and I hope you think the cards are cute too.

Welcome my new niece Bella Rose

Nathan loves Michael. He loved having a boy around with all of these girls. Michael makes Nathan laugh really hard and smile a lot!
Michael, our not so little brother anymore. He is now taller than all of us.
Bella is so sweet and pretty. It is so fun to hold a tiny baby again. Nathan is getting so big.
My nephew Richard, (on the left) is very protective of his new baby sister. He told me I couldn't look at her or touch her when he was watching her.
Nathan loves the swing! He and Annika had a great time!

Annika was so sweet with Nathan. She loved to play with him and give him toys and play with my sisters dog. They would have screaming matches at each other, in pure joy of course, but they both have excellent pipes!

Mom, Are you kidding me?

So I didn't do this to him, my sister did, but it was still pretty funny. The look on his face is perfect though, like he is saying "Mom, did you really just put a pink ring, earrings, and necklace on me." We sure enjoyed it!

Nathan & Mikey

This is Nathan's friend Mikey. They are both so crazy! They are only about a month apart. They have so much fun playing together. They are both very interested in the stairs, but neither of them are very good at getting down yet. It sure is fun to go up though!
I go running with Mikey's mom Tara everyday, and Mikey and Nathan love to see each other. Mikey loves to share his cereal and treats with Nathan, and of course, Nathan will eat anything

Conquer the Mountian or the Mountian Conquered You?

So Last Saturday I went on a hike with some of my friends. It was a pretty good hike, but nothing too difficult. Well the people I was with decided to jog back down the mountain so I followed. I went really slow on the steep parts and tried to catch up on the flat parts. I was near the bottom when I thought to myself, "Man I am so glad I haven't fallen......" Wham! I went skidding across the rugged terrain. Now most of you that know me know that I am a cry baby, but I didn't cry, I just almost threw up when I was cleaning it out. It was pretty deep. Andrew thought I was really tough! Just kidding. It is doing a lot better now, but you don't realize how much you use your knee until you can't do it anymore.
