Visiting the Dallas Temple

This was Nathan's first time to see the temple (the place
that mommy and daddy were married). He enjoyed
touchingthe bricks. I enjoyed going back to the temple
as it has been since before Nathan was born. We missed
Matt being able to go with us.

Mom and Dad took Nathan on
a walk, so Matt and I could
play roller blading hockey.







Our picnic at Breckenridge
Park with Mom and Dad.








We discovered at the state fair
that Nathanloves home grown
pears from Colorado. Yummy!!!






Out on a Sunday walk

Texas State Fair

While my parents were here, we took them to the State Fair.

Matt had to meet us there as he was on his way home from

work. Nathan's favorites were the animals and fountain. We

enjoyed getting out and doing something different.

The other day I stepped
outside and had to go back
inside to bundle up. Taking
a walk was the only way he
would fall asleep even in the
cold weather.






Grammy teaching Nathan
how to drink out of the
hose and getting soaking
wet in the process.








He is pretty proud
of himself.

Nathan thinks he is a big

boy when he can weigh

himself and play with our

bathtub facets.

Things My Boy Loves to Do

Nathan enjoys being outside,
and if he could be outside all
day long then he would.
He likes to eat the dirt out of
my garden and play with the
garden hose.






Nathan is mommy's big
helper and sweeps (okay
may not sweeps but pushes
the broom around)




I don't know who invented the
dishwasher, but I am grateful
as that is the way I get dinner
made. I will leave some things
in the utensil part, and he has
a blast pulling them out.





We always try and meet daddy
outside as he comes home
from work. Nathan likes to
drive the car in with Dad. He
enjoys cars and loved to drive
Grammy and Papa's car when
they were here. I guess he
already feels power being
behind the wheel.


He recently discovered that he can
unroll all of the toilet paper. I was
on the computer and wondered why
he was being so quiet. I went to
check and he had unrolled all of the
toilet paper. Grammy switched the
direction the toilet paper comes off
before she left, but today I found him
using his finger nails and pulling it off
in little pieces. At least he hasn't
discovered that the toilet lid opens and shuts.

and me.
