Happy Birthday Nathan!!!

Today is Nathan's 26th birthday. We hope he has a good one. We started the celebrations early by singing to him last night. He was nice enough to let Parker blow out some candles as well. Parker is sick though so we cut him off a special section that he could blow all the germs on it he wanted!! Nathan is such a good dad and husband. Parker and Nixon light up when he comes home. Parker loves to go everywhere with Nathan on the weekends when we get Nathan home all day long! We are very lucky to have you in our lives Nathan. Happy birthday!!

To Nancy and Angie

Today we surprised my mom with a great Mothers Day gift. Lucky for you it will also benefit you both as well. Introducing the Nautica Party Island. Bear Lake 2009 here we come!!I know, I know, you are so excited for floating in Bear Lake this year. My mom was so excited she could hardly stand it. It comes with two coolers on the tube so we can bring out our water and sunscreen and food and the middle has mesh so the water comes in a little but you don't fall in! Just face it we are your favorite Niece and Nephew. See you in a few weeks!!!

Rub a Dub Dub

Nixon has started sitting by himself this last month leaving him victim to my photo shoots. I love how both pictures show the drool on his clothes. He is one wet kid!
I couldn't resist taking this one during conference last weekend. I looked down from listening to see what he was doing and he was also listening to our leaders speak!
He has found a new love for trucks. Mostly he loves to taste them.
Parker and I work on our fort while Nixon takes his naps and it is cold outside. I made the fort and that same day Nathan wanted to decorate it with Parker. I came down and found a No Girls allowed sign on it. It was mine and Parkers fort first you know!

Now that Nixon has mastered sitting up by himself its time to master the tub. He loves bath time with his big brother and squeals with excitement as we walk down the hallway to the bathroom. Parker likes to pass the bath toys to Nixon and Nixon likes to chew on them.

PS Spring time can come now...no seriously NOW

6 Months!

Today Nixon is 6 months old. He is such a fun happy baby. His personality is growing so much lately. He gets so excited for life and he lights up when someone new walks into the room. Don't mind my baby talk in the back ground just enjoy the happy baby. Also if you listen closely at the end of the video you can hear Parker say "Good Job, Nixon" It however sounds very little like Nixon, but its cute to see how he pronounces his name rather than just say "baby."


He started eating rice cereal the other day and to my surprise he loves it! This is what he looks like when he is done.

One last day in the snow(we hope)

We have been really low key these last two weeks. We have been taking it easy and staying around our house. Nixon is starting to love his bouncer. He is always so happy. We love him so much!
We have had to play with play dough every day this week. We make snakes and birds and baby elephants.
Yesterday Parker wanted to walk in the snow and he insisted on his snow suit. I hope this is the last time he hast to wear it.
Our front yard had little snow but he soon found the back yard to dig in.
The night before he ran in the snow while Nathan shoveled the walk. He loves being outside.

Disneyland!!

Last week we were in Disneyland for three days. Its been a rough week back. Parker cried at the door on wednesday night begging to go to Mickey's house. We had such a fun time. Lets do it again guys!

Parker loved the Horsies.
We had breakfast with the critters on the second day. The critters loved Nixon...Parker did NOT like the critters.

Parker takes after me-the teacups were his favorite. The faster the spin the better.

Parker loved the rockets. On his first ride Nathan said he kept saying, I'm flying, I'm flying
Midtown Mania in California adventure is a fun 3-d ride.
On our last day we decided to stay as long as Parker wanted. Once Nixon fell asleep we headed to fantasy land Parker would say teacups-horsies(carousel) elephant. He finally fell asleep in line for Dumbo. So Nathan took him on one last ride. It was so cute.



We went to Mickey's house but the closer we got to seeing Mickey the more nervous Parker got so we left before we got to see him.
On Saturday we visited the beach. It was a great
