Some of my favorite Pics

Well I haven't had many blog worthy activities lately. Old Home day in Gilford was the only day that was eventful and I had to go and forget the camera. Either way the boys enjoyed the parade and I enjoyed my fried dough and cotton candy! I just thought that I would post some of my favorite pics since I hadn't blogged in a few weeks. For some reason I was not able to find the pics of Nick's birth so I could post a picture of that but I found some others of him that I love. The ones were we are all dressed up were taken at my sister Ashley's wedding back in January. The where Nathan looks like "Joe Dirt" was taken at Halloween, this one I think is hilarious. I guess this is how his hair might look had we let it grow long! Well I hope you enjoy these oldies but goodies!

Look at me!

I couldn't resist posting these two pics. The first one of Nicholas is what happenes when you let a 2 year old eat a fudgecicle. The one of Nathan was taken while Nicholas was having a nap, he was very happy to have the Gator all to himself!

Happy 4th Birthday Nathan

Happy Birthday Nathan! Well he turned 4 on August 3rd, over a week ago and I am just now getting the pictures uploaded. It was a great day for a birthday. Dan's mom "Grammy" came up to help us celebrate, as well as Aunt Princie and Uncle Mickey. We went out for dinner, then came back for ice cream cake. Nathan enjoyed having everyone sing to him and being able to blow out his candle. Looking at the pictures you would think that is was Nick's birthday. He preferred to eat the cake without a fork. It reminded me of the Brady Bunch episode where Peter is in the ice cream eating contest and can't use his hands, need I say more! I think Nick was wanting it to be his birthday because when I was putting up to bed he said he wanted a birthday party. I remember when I was younger and it was one of my sister's birthdays I always wanted it to be mine too. He only has to wait a month and a half before it is his turn. I can't believe our oldest son is 4, the time has gone by so quickly. Before I know it he will be 18 and off to college, so I better not blink!

John Deere Gator

So sorry it has taken me so long to post something new, it has been a bit busy lately, but that is no excuse. Anyway, This John Deere Gator is a Birthday gift for the boys from "Tickle". They were so excited to get it and the first day they were very good about sharing it. Since then we have had some ups and downs with taking turns. Nathan is a good driver, and Nicholas, well not so much. In fact we had a few collisions when Nick drove it for the first time. And Nathan actually fell off of it while Nick was having his turn. Since it has been raining they haven't had a chance to drive it. So the other day while there was a break in the weather we headed outside. Both boys wanted to drive it first of course, and some bad behavior took place. There was biting, head butting and pushing. I had to intervene and drag them both off of this toy. I declared that they would not get to drive it anymore that day, and then we had some meltdowns. Thankfully Dan arrived shortly after and took Nathan with him to the store while Nicholas went up for a much needed nap. This was not a productive lesson on sharing and hopefully they will be better about it in the future. You can be sure that I will let you know!
