We had a lot of fun for Halloween! Christopher was a Doctor for one party and a pilot for trick or treating. (His dr. costume was ruined after only having it on for 15 minutes at a Halloween party.....) Bailyn was Hannah Montana and little Nate was a monkey! We headed down to Greenville for Halloween this year. We got to go trick or treating with Shaundel and her kids and our friends Scott and Kelly and their kids. We did get soaked with the rain that came in that night....but the kids ended up getting a lot of candy (ugh) and having a great time! Happy Halloween!
Christopher loves his science teacher this year, Mrs. Beuchlien. She is one of those teachers that brings the actual information to life. Christopher loved working on the science project this year. She split everyone up into teams and they worked on it together during science. (I personally LOVED this idea....one less project to do after all the homework is done). This morning they had the science fair. It was great because it started at 7:30 and Nick was able to go with us. Christopher did a great job!
Thanks Brandi!!!!! My kids loved making these!!!!!!! We love FALL here at our house. The kids get really excited for Halloween. We have done a lot of fun crafts and projects to get ready for the holiday.
I was just transfering some pictures and found some really fun random photos of Nathan. I love this age. He is a very active boy, with a wonderful imagination! He will find just about anything to climb just about anything! And he has become a very independant eater. He will ONLY eat if HE put it in his mouth. He is also fabulous at throwing food, screaming, and cracking us all up! Enjoy some pics!
And to all my England Friends......yes, that is the same infamous horse. I don't think Bailyn will ever part from this horse. And yes, we still have the pink horse too!
Today my baby turns one! My pregnancy with Nathan seemed to take forever! The anticiaption killed me! It was a long 9 (no....10) months. We had waited so long for our little miracle to arrive. We never thought we would be blessed with another baby. I was about 7.5 months along when Dr. Bland finally looked at me and told me that I could now start believing that we would have this baby we had hoped for for so long! I never let myself believe it, in fear of getting hurt again. But, after 9 long months, our little man finally made his debut. We were thrilled beyond words to have Nathan bless our family. Christopher and Bailyn could not love him more. Now, looking back, it feels like I just had him 6 months ago! He can't really be one already!!! I have posted a ton of pictures. From birth to one! What a journey! Nick and I have been so blessed!! We are looking forward to this next year, we only hope it will SLOW down!!!
Making his debut at 8 pounds 6 ounces on September 20, 2008 Superman!!! 3 MONTHS ALREADY!! Christmas
Those that have been to our house in the last few weeks have seen how much Nate LOVES elmo! He doesn't watch the show.....it is during his "nap" time....but for some reason, everytime we are at Target he goes crazy over Elmo!! He can even say "melmo"....so for his little family birthday party we decided to go with an Elmo theme. My sister and her family and my brother came from Greenville today. It was great to see everyone. My sister helped me get the food ready and make some fun Elmo cupcakes. Nathan recognized that they were little Elmos....so we were thrilled and they were the easiest things ever to make! When it was time for him to dig into the cake, he wasn't so sure. I'm not sure if we didn't like the texture of the frosting or the taste of the cake. Gotta love the first birthday!! He loved the boxes and wrapping paper the most! But, he will love to play with the oh, so fun, dump truck and rocks from Aunt Jamie and Uncle Greg and family, the stacking cups and blocks from Uncle Blake and Courtney, the Elmo, Elmo bath toys, Elmo books, and lots of other fun stuff from Grandma and Grandpa, and the adorable ball shape sorter from Aunt Shaunie and Luke and Abby. And the ball popper from his family. Oh, little buddy, we can't believe you will be one on Wednesday!!!
Our little Nathan is quite the guy! He is all about the silliest faces lately! And anytime I get a camera out....this is what I get.....
Occasionally, I will get one of these....but very RARE!
Never a dull moment with our little guy. We can hardly stand the fact that Nathan will be ONE in 10 short days! This year has gone by soooo fast!! (and I am not too happy about that.)
