It's been a super crazy summer so far! Between traveling, painting our house (inside and out), and about a million other house projects, I feel like I've had no free time to update the blog. Hopefully things will slow down soon, but, until then, you'll have to enjoy long but infrequent posts :)
Nate and I were bored one afternoon so we went over to Kings to look around. He spotted this little lawn mower and started pushing it around the store while we shopped. When it was time to leave, I told him that we had to go and put it back. He looked at me like I had just broken his heart! Now, I know most people will think that I am a total push over and Nate is going to be a spoiled brat but if he would have thrown a fit, I would have had no problem saying "sorry, not today". He just really really loved it! So, we went home with this little $7 lawn mower and he has played with it every single day for the past 2 months :)
I love this picture of him "helping" Todd
And if I haven't mentioned it enough, here's another picture of Nate watching the garbage truck. It is such an understatement to say that Nate LOVES everything that has to do with garbage. He has his bib on because he had to run to the door, mid breakfast, to watch.
The fire station near our house had their open house a few weeks ago and we took Nate again. He really enjoyed seeing the fire trucks and now every time we drive past the fire station, he yells "Yeah!" from the back seat.
He was too nervous to try spraying the fire hose.
Nate had his first campout! Our ward had their fathers and sons campout last month and Todd really wanted to take Nate. Since it was an hour away, Todd decided to just stay home and camp in the backyard. They had a fire and partied in the tent until after 9. Unfortunately, Nate got cold around 2 am so they came in. I guess it's good they didn't go so far away.
We took a trip to the Idaho Falls Zoo with my family a few weeks ago. Nate didn't care too much about the animals. He just really loved running around like a crazy man.
We had an extra little man for a day last week. We've had extra kids before but never for a whole day. Usually, after an hour or so, Nate goes in his room and shuts the door because he gets overwhelmed with having someone else around. He did great with little Liam! By the end of the morning, they were great friends (which makes their moms both happy :)
This is one of my favorite videos of Nate. It shows off some of his funny "quirks" that we find hilarious.
1. He still LOVES Ronald McDonald! I finally printed off the picture that I took of Nate with him and put it into his little picture book. He looks at it every day.
2. About half way through the video, you can see Nate's best attempt at jumping. The funny thing is, he thinks he's really jumping high but his right foot never comes close to leaving the ground :)
3. He loves his little music box toy. My mom got it for him when he was tiny and, at first, I thought it would be one of those toys that gets played with for a while and gets shoved in a corner. I was so wrong! Nate carries that toy around with him everywhere he goes. It plays 6 or 7 different songs but he only likes one of them. It plays in our house ALL DAY LONG. If you try to sneak in and change it, he'll push the button as fast as he can to change it back to his favorite. He knows exactly how many pushes it requires to get back to the song he likes. It's hysterical!
