Nate Goes On His First Easter Egg Hunt!

Standing at the starting line getting ready

He isn't crying, I think the wind was bothering his eyes, plus he is overdue for his nap. LOL


Examining his loot

"Look mommy, I got an egg!"

"I think there is something in there!"

The Face

This is what happens when Mommy takes away the chocolate (which he doesn't even eat) and it is past Nate's bedtime...

Old Time Photos of Nathaniel

A few weeks ago, we took part in a fundraiser for a young lady in our church to go on a mission trip. We had Nate's pictures taken, and we given a huge package of pictures for free!!! We are so blessed with these beautiful pictures of our adorable son! Enjoy!

Our Mini-trip to Colorado

Teaching Nate early about the amazing tea at McAlister's!

This is how much fun we can have with something that costs a dollar! :-)

Happy St Patricks Day!!!

Today we got a care package from my mom for St Patricks Day!! It is always so much fun to get a package from my mom. Nate now thinks that when a box comes in the mail that it is from "Grandma Amen"! : -)



He decided the green silverware were drumsticks instead!

Getting very excited about it!!

Loves this face
Enjoying the green presents!

Thank you Grandma Amen! We love you!!!
