I knew he looked more like me!!! I am going to print this off and give to every single person that says-"you look just like your daddy, don't you?"

I even uploaded twice to make sure it wasn't the picture. He does have Nathan's beautiful eyes though.

Yoga

For the last three weeks Nathan and I have been doing Yoga on Thursday nights. Before we started the first night Nathan asked me if Yoga was hard and I just laughed at him. "Its a different kind of hard," I answered.
Well this Yoga is even harder than the Yoga I am used to. Its awful. Its 45 min of Upward dog, downward dog, runners pose and crescent pose. Then another 45 min of balance poses which is the Yoga I am more used to-by used to I mean I've done it 5 times to Nathan's zero times. The last 10 min is my favorite they have you lie on your back and just relax. It is amazing.
Why are we doing Yoga every Thursday night you ask. Well it is part of Nathan's new work our program called P90X. I work out with him on the nights that don't require pull up's or weight training, because 1, You have to be able to do at least 3 pull ups to do it and I can't even do one, and 2, I don't want big bulky muscles, I want lean ones. So every other day I get to do Yoga, or some kind of Cardio work out for at least an hour with Nathan. It has been really fun for me. And no post is complete with out pictures.

Spring Fever

I love Utah and all of its seasons. I am the snow queen, I just love the snow. With that being said I have been experiencing Spring Fever. I am ready to be outside again. Here is what I am looking forward to.Croquet in our backyard is always fun.
One last year of taking loads and loads to the dump. Our yard will finally be Junk free in the back!! We have had to take 15 loads at least to the dump because of all the junk that was left over from the people who lived here before.

Bear Lake! We love it there.Kings Canyon. Its just so relaxing and beautiful.

Playing outside-even if Parker gets a little dirty.

Growing a garden. We used to grow corn but I don't think we will this year-we will have to see how the yard clean up goes. We did a lower key garden last year and it was nice because I have limited time to give my full attention to a garden.

Happy Birthday Baby!!

Parker turned 1 this week on the 9th and we have been celebrating ever since. The morning of his birthday we made him pancakes shaped as a number 1. When I say we I mean I made the syrup Nathan made the batter and shaped the pancake. It was a tradition that his mom used to do with his family and he wants to keep it alive. Nathan LOVES tradition and this is a good one. Any excuse to eat buttermilk syrup is a good one for me.



After breakfast we opened presents. We tried to keep the presents to a minimum because he just got a lot from Christmas and our house is too small to hold a lot of presents. We gave him the little people farm and a key set so I think we did pretty good. And today we had a UNO themed family party where we had cake and ice cream. I was pretty nervous about the cake but I think it turned out pretty well. This is his invitation that Nathan made. Some of its upside down because we folded it but I think Nathan did a really good job.





Happy Birthday Parker!!!

Parker's first Christmas!!!

We have been busy with family parties, shopping, Christmas and then being sick so we haven't been blogging lately. Here are some of our favorites pictures from the season.This year I invested in the Little people nativity set for our new decorations. Parker loved it and I didn't mind playing with it either. I recommend it to whoever wants a decorations that the kids can play with.

This year we bought rock band as an early Christmas present we were able to get a lot of use out of it with our family parties.
Parker with Santa. He couldn't quite figure out why this man had to hold him, but it was fun for Nathan and me to do the traditional take your child to see santa.
We let parker open his first present on Christmas eve. He loved it but then wanted to put it back in the wrapping paper he doesn't quite get it yet. Maybe next week for his birthday he will understand it more.

Let it Snow!!!!!!

On Saturday Nathan and I wanted to take advantage of the Snow we received this weekend. So we bundled up and went to Nathan's parents house. Nathan's mom played with Parker inside while Nathan and I made a ramp so that we could play with the snow skate. We love the snow!! I was impressed that I didn't fall. Two years ago I wasn't so graceful on the snow skate. I'm hoping it means I will be a little better snowboarding this year. I'll have to see though.
Nathan isn't a big nerd like me so he didn't put on his snow pants. But he wasn't worried about falling in the snow as much as I was. It was such a fun Saturday night.


Here's hoping we have many more snow storms!!!!! Let it snow!!!

Story Time!

About two years ago while Nathan was still in school, Nathan needed new glasses. Nathan's parents, being the people they are, offered to take Nathan to costco to get new glasses. The appointment was made during a break between classes for Nathan. He met his parents and the searching began for a new pair of glasses. He soon found a pair much like his old pair that needed to be replaced, black rimmed glasses that screams he is cool and he has a uniqe style of his own. And yet there were another pair sitting there screaming something else. This scream was more to the parents to grab their children and run from this man. Creepy brown rimmed 2 inch round glasses. Nathan's parents had to buy both pairs when they both made their son so happy. And so every couple of months or so these creepy glasses made their debut to get their laughs from Nathan's co workers and friends. And then last month his black rimmed glasses broke and we were out of contacts and suddenly these glasses weren't as funny when they were his only way of seeing the world. So we quickly went to costco and got Nathan some contacts. So he doesn't have to scare the parents or the children. The End

Also Parker has found a new face and he thinks he is so funny when he makes it.
