Serious Game of Hopscotch

A Trip to the Mall

We took a trip to the mall and visited the Lego store. Nathan picked out a set of Legos and was very excited to get them home to open the box. He wanted to hold (more like drag) the bag all by himself. He wouldn't let anyone help him with the bag. He dragged it all over the mall, which caused a very large hole in the bottom of his bag. Nathan received many comments from the other shoppers about how cute he looked dragging his Lego bag behind him.

Nathan didn't even notice his bag got lighter and keep walking into the house. He didn't want to let go of the handles of the bag. Once inside the house he realized that his bag was empty and went out looking for the Legos.

Snow Day!!

We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. Nathan "berry berry" wanted to play in it before he went to school. Since we don't get many days of snow, I couldn't say "no".







Nathan played for about a half hour in the snow with his Dad. We couldn't get him to come in the house and get dressed for school. He ended up being a few minutes late for school this morning but it was worth the fun.

Randy came home early from work and we all went outside to build a snowman. It had snowed all day long and was still snowing, so we had lots of snow to make a giant snowman.

Record breaking snowfall today for Texas!! It snowed for 16 hours! Official DFW measurement was 9.5 inches!! Fort Worth got 12 inches!!

Snowflakes Falling

This is another video of Nathan in Music class at school singing Snowflakes Falling. I love when his Music teacher, Miss Marilee, takes video of the kids singing.

Handy Randy

Nathan got a sit and spin for Christmas. Jaxon and Nathan helped Randy put it together. It was great to see them playing and sharing with each other.

Christmas at Nana and Papa's House

The family gathered at Nana and Papa's house to exchange gifts and eat dinner. I love when our schedules allow us to all get together. It's fun to watch the kids play. All the grandkids sat in a circle on the floor in the living room. Nathan ended up in the middle of the circle. They each took a turn and exchanged their secret santa gifts.

Nathan's Santa Gift - Bounce House

The only thing that Nathan asked for this year was a bounce house. He was such a good boy that Santa had to fulfill his wish.

There was snow on the ground Christmas morning, so we emptied out his playroom. The bounce house takes up the entire room. Nathan loves it and bounces in it everyday.

Hot Wheels! You can never have too many of those.

Three wheeled scooter

Daddy quickly put it together so Nathan could hop on for a test ride.

This is the helmet that goes with the scooter.

More Hot Wheels!

The Aftermath! Yes, that's a bounce house in the playroom.

Christmas Eve 2009

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. We first ate lunch. Then, we opened and played with our presents. Nathan got a lot of neat toys.
