Broken Toe

Yep, that's right I broke my toe. I'd like to say that I was doing something awesome but I wasn't. I simply ran into the island in our kitchen. I hurts like CRAZY but there is nothing to be done about it. (and the little white speckles all over my foot aren't an allusion... I've been painting)

He is SO my child

Nathan licking the chocolate frosting off the spoon.

Wanting to share with Mommy. (the blur in his hand is the spoon)

Park City Adventure

New sunglasses. Now they're stylin'

Nathan's lovely cracker and sucker face. He was pretty well behaved for going from car seat to stroller and back to car seat.

When we finished shopping we decided to drive around and find a place to eat lunch when POW, Landon and Kyler start throwing up all in our new car!!! After we got things cleaned up as best as possible we started our drive home... it was suppose to take us about 45 minutes to get back but NO. Thanks to construction it took us 3 HOURS to get home. We were literally stuck with no turn offs or anything with two barfing kids and one very tired baby. Luckily all three of the kids did fall asleep. (you can't see Landon in this pic because he is behind my seat). So in honour of our first adventure in our car we are considering naming it Chuck, for all the up-chucking that occurred. What do you think? And just so you know, as soon as we got the kiddos home Jon did take the car and wash it inside and out.

Movie Night

Friday night I took the boys to movie night in the Potter's backyard. (Jon was exhausted from a long work week so he stayed home with Nathan and slept). We watched Princess and the Frog on the side of their house and we had a blast. I honestly didn't think they would stay awake through the whole thing but they did. It started at 9 and went until 11... My boys usually go to bed at 8 so this was a big treat for them, and yes they did still woke-up at 6:30 as usual.

All the kiddos getting watching a little cartoon before the 'featured film' came on.

Kyler's 4th Birthday

While we were getting dinner ready for Kyler's birthday this is how I found him. He was fast asleep under his bed with a lego airplane.

Grandma and Grandpa Garbett were in town so they came to party with us. They got Ky a bionicle which he loves.

Grandma and Grandpa Humphries got Kyler these Star Wars t-shirt and hat.

This year Kyler requested a tree cake. I don't know why he wanted a tree but there was no changing his mind (believe me I tried)

Painting Pals

Ky painting his flower bug.

Landon and his frog pin-wheel. He did an awesome job painting. (sorry the pics are too good.... my boys don't stay still for long.)

Landon's blue bug.

While Nathan was napping the boys asked to do a craft. So we went to the craft room to see what we could do, and they found this little wooden critters. I honestly don't know where they came from so I let the boys have some fun.

Climbing to great heights

Nathan has mastered the stairs. He has been able to go up for quite some time but has finally mastered going down. So therefore the gate has been removed and Nathan has discovered a new freedom.

Going for a ride

Landon taking Nathan for a ride in his dump truck. Nathan loved it and constantly climbs in the truck wanting to play.

Quiet Time

When the boys lay down for quiet time, Nathan has to be right there with them.

Water fun

Landon splashing Jett with his cup of water.

Nathan's first time in a little swimming pool. His favorite part was climbing in and out of the pool.

He also enjoyed splashing in the water table.

After a little while Ky got too cold and just wanted to lay on his towel and work on his tan.

Preschool Picinic Party

Nathan chillin' in his stroller while the kids all play on the toys.

Sarah and Payten

The kiddos enjoying their cupcakes

During the school year each child got to celebrate their birthday so they let the kids with summer birthdays get their crowns too. Kyler was very proud of his birthday crown.

Here are most of the kids from preschool. It was a fun year.... thanks so much to Kristen and Jen.

Camping...rained out style

Jon was planning on taking the boys to the father/son camp out last night but the weather had something else in mind. So that Jon didn't have to break a promise and the boys could still go 'camping', Jon set up our smaller tent in the basement and the boys slept in it. Somehow Jon got out of having to sleep downstairs too.

Hair Cuts for the Boys

This Morning Nathan got his first hair cut. We cut all of the boys but I only took an after pic of Nathan. For being a wiggly little boy he did a pretty good job of sitting still while Jon took the clippers to his head.

I'm growing up to be a parent

Kyler has been proclaiming that when he grows up he will be a parent. And according to him as soon as he becomes a parent his hair will miraculously be spiky, and lately he has added that he will have spiky hair on his chin too. (Gee who does it sound like he's describing!?).

Nathan's 1st Birthday

Here is the birthday boy. He is such a smart little guy, he learned a new word on his birthday... CHEESE! How convinent, right. All I had to do was have the camera in front of him and he would say Cheese!

On Nathan's actual birthday I made him pancakes and even stuck a candle in them.... I didn't bother to light it this time.

Present Time

Nathan wasn't thrilled at the idea of having to sit still with Daddy... until he got to open the presents

Bubble Mower! Trying to figure out what to get Nathan was difficult because he is the 3rd boy and really do have most things for that age.

Pushing his mower. He doesn't even know that this will be a chore when he gets bigger.

Be Our Guest

Trent enjoying his watermelon

Payten decided to take a little snooze while we ate.

Kid table! Nathan had 6 of his little cousins (and their parents of course) share in his special day.

Have my cake and Eat it too

Nathan liked the cake so much the spoon wasn't fast enough.

Blowing out the candle. If you look closely, you can see Landon holding Nathan's hand so he wouldn't grab the candle.

Here is my lion cake creation. Since Nathan was too little to make a decision on what kind of cake I decided to make a lion because he is always growling at his stuffed lion named Leon.

Backyard Fun

Now that it is warm outside we can actually enjoy our swing set more. One of the necessities for this Spring was an infant swing for Nathan. He absolutely loves it. When the boys are outside playing Nathan will bang on the sliding door wanting to go out with them.
