Christmas

Nathan hates wearing his hat, but baby no name is wearing her hat.


Cars 2!





At the white elephant gift exchange, I opened a pair of boxer underwear that was too small for me. No one was willing to trade or steal my gift. I think I'll wrap it up and give it next year

Wow, our little guy is growing up right in front of our eyes!

Fun before Christmas

We made a gingerbread house the other day, and he ate some of the snowmen before we could stop him. We caught him taking a bite out of the tasty house.



Joana was giving Nathan a bath the other day, and she asked what she wanted to be when he grew up. With no hesitation, he blurted out "football player." to be honest the dad in me is proud, but a little scared. Maybe he means soccer?

Weekend Fun

It was Jeff's birthday, and he came over to Seattle to go to the Seahawks football game. We were graced with an unexpected win. Craig flew up from Denver to meet us, and we all had fun hanging out with Nathan. Here is some pics.

ITS A GIRL!!!

Wow, what a surprise!!! Since my grandfather, there have been 12 boys and no girls. We now have a confirmed girl, and no one is more happy than Joana. Here is another picture of our little bean.

So Nathan was a dragon this year. We went to our church which rented bouncy houses for all the kids. They had carnival games, and tons of candy for the kids. Nates favorite game was Nerf archery which uses a Nerf crossbow. He had to get my help, because he might shoot his eye out.






Dad is a cowboy...how original!




He huffed and puffed, and blew the house down with his powerful dragon tail.

Nathan's. Second B-Day

There has to be something else...


I love Thomas the Train!


Everyone is singing "happy birthday" to me!











Uncle Patrick bought me this hummer. I'm trying to get mom to move her Honda out of the garage to make room for this bad boy!


What is a birthday without friends, and Hani :)





Grandma spent all day making my truck cake. Thanks grandma, it was so yummy!

We're Pregnant Again!

The rumors are true, we are pregnant for the second time. He/She is due in early May. This pregnancy is shaping up to be quite different. Jo is sick this time, and was not sick with Nathan. She has had some interesting cravings (see video above). As an example, I opened the fridge last week, and found a package of turkey pepperoni, unopened. This is strange for her to buy something like this in the first place, but then to not open the package is even more strange. She said she had a craving as she was driving home, but then when she got it home, it made her sick to even look at it.
The strangest thing of all is that Joana no longer likes ice cream. She has not touched a bowl for a month. This baby is really turning her world upside down.

Vacation to Montana

Nathan doesn't know that riding the dog like a pony is frowned upon in this establishment (e-trade commercial -for Diane)


Monkey see, monkey has to take away from the baby and use her pacifier, even though, monkey has not used a pacifier since he was 6months old.


Ok, this is the real reason we went to Montana...the boots. Joana has a really funny story about the first day Steve had these boots. You should call her up and ask her some time





After a VERY long day in the car with a 2 year old, we finally made it to our destination. Chico hot springs is about 2 hours out of Boseman and is about 8 hours (without stops) from Spokane. For our first night we stayed here and enjoyed the pools and the big sky of Montana. Nathan would start walking from the shallow end, and venture towards the deep end of the pool. He is brazen and started to learn how to kick in sync to keep himself afloat.

Vacation to Montana - first leg, Spokane

The best part about vacation in the summer is time to be in the cool pool on a hot day!








Now, only if Rachel was a Dog fan, and not a Husker fan...

Shoe shopping with dad...this should be interesting





How do girls do this? This is so boring, even dad was throwing a fit!
