Jared or as we nornally call him
Big J, J Box, J Dog, J Bop, or Babe
showing off how big he is.













Nathan loves to help me make popcorn
and then eat it, but the thrill for him is
making it. He has asked me everyday
this week to make popcorn.













Nathan already for church...well almost.
He forgot his pants. He finally started wearing
his tie to church every week.

















The boys mowing the lawn. Nathan asks to mow it
everyday. He really looks forward to that time
with Daddy.









Jared mad at me when I stopped feeding
him to take a picture. 4 months old exactly.








Gotta love that rice cereal and those
big dark eyes.


















Nathan's sandbox. Every kid has to
have dirt to play in.








My adorable three boys.

Nathan loves to watch Caillou. During this episode, I heard Nathan laugh 4-5 times. It is fun to see him understand humor. He is laughing in the video when the dad accidentally puts paint on his head. He will still laugh like this even though he has seen it over and over.

I wish that I knew how to do all of this blogging better. The typing is always off and double spaced. If anybody knows how to fix this let me know. I guess I am computer illiterate.

Getting Ready to Go Camping

Nathan loved to help us get ready to go

camping. He was so exhausted with helping

that he fell right asleep in the van. He had

to have his glasses and gloves on. Also when

we went to the library on Thursday before

camping, he had to wear his glasses and take

his saw in with him.

than 3 months old.

Grammy reading books to Jared and Nathan.

They loved to have Grammy come and visit.

We missed having Papa, but were grateful that

Grammy could make it out. She even got to

put Nathan down for his naps a couple of times.

Nathan decided to let Jared wear his hat.

We had so much fun with Grammy and wished that

Grammy and Papa lived closer. We partied all week

long and enjoyed each others company.

We took Nathan to a jump house while Grammy was here to visit. I think that I had as much fun as Nathan--my kid side definitely came out. All of the other adults were standing around and talking, but Matt, Grammy, and I were all over the place with Nathan. He especially loved to throw a ball and then chase it. Can't get any cuter than this!!!

Nathan likes Jared to ride him like he

is a horse.

Nathan loves to run and always talks about his daddy running. He has to always say that he has his ankle brace, his running shoes, and running shorts. We let him get on the treadmill on the slowest speed. He stayed on for about 10 minutes. Jared and Nathan adore each other. Nathan is always giving Jared kisses and hugs, and Jared loves to watch Nathan play especially basketball.

Nathan will drop whatever he is doing to go outside,

but especially if it involves mowing. He is now big

enough that he can be outside when Matt is mowing.

Last year he had to just watch at the windows.
