Natalies two favorite activities...

Natalie starting walking at the beginning of March, she loves her new found freedom. She also LOVES to climb!!!

Nathan's first visit to the dentist

He was such a brave boy, taking a ride in the chair and getting his teeth counted. They're all there!
Love the shades!

Natalie is 1!!!

Natalie is 1!! Mary Duray made her a beautiful cake. Mary also made Nathans cake this year as well as his 1st birthday.

Getting love from Daddy while enjoying the frosting.

Natalie with her Papa, and her new baby doll.

Natalie is such in girl in some ways (she loves shoes!), but she definitely prefers "boy" toys. I had to get her a pink ball, she loves to carry it around and chase after it in the yard.

Taking a ride with Nathan. Okay, we didn't really let them go anywhere. Natalie is definitely determined to get on the 4 wheeler as soon as she is big enough!

They are going to kill me for this someday...

This picture is too cute to ignore. My two darlings playing the piano together :)

Nathan turns 3!

Nathan LOVES his 4 Wheeler! Thanks so much to Uncle Tony for fixing it!! He begs us to take it back and forth from our house to Gagi and Papo's house. He's already learning to do some 180's on it... we may need to upgrade soon :)


It was so nice having Nana and Papa in town for the party. They made the trip over from Wenatchee, and then hurried home to pack for a 7 day Caribbean cruise! (this picture is actually taken in front of Natalies gift)

The big birthday boy! He had been so excited for his party, we had no trouble getting him to wear the special hat.

We ended up throwing the blue car away... and of course Nathan asked for it soon after that. He loved his cake!

Learning to be a hard worker

If you look closely you can see Nathan has his tongue out with intense focus.

Nathan loves to work with tools, especially when it means spending time with Daddy.
