Daddy's boots

How cute. Nathan wants to be like his daddy.

SNOW!

Nathan got a real taste of snow today. He didn't like it as much as I hoped he would. He was ok playing outside until I put him in the snow, then he started to cry. I know he couldn't have been cold, it was such a nice day. A nice day for a snowball fight, which is what it turned into. Aunt Bonnie was the biggest loser. Maybe we will try again on Monday.

smarty pants

Nathan kept trying to put my glasses on, so I helped him. He looks like a little Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" but a cuter version.

Nathan in the new year

Nathan is learning how to play games with dad. He knows how to turn the controller on, and how how to turn the X-box off (that doesn't make daddy happy).


It has been a very cold winter for us this year. It snowed yesterday, and it is still on the ground. We thought that we would go play in it today, bad idea. It is pretty icy and it is super cold outside, it was 18* when we went out. Nathan had fun for about 5 minutes, then he was done.

Merry Christmas to all!

Nathan had a great Christmas! He got lots of presents from family and from Santa Claus. He got and ice cream truck walker/rider, books, puzzles, a cell phone (he is so popular, girls are always asking for his number), a music table, some blocks and a book all about Nathan. He had a great Christmas this year (much better than last year when he just laid around and slept). We had a yummy french toast breakfast, video called grandpa & grandma Anderson his aunts and cousins, played with new toys and then went and fed the ducks with Andrew. Great grandpa and grandma Roberts came over for some Christmas dinner. It was such a fun day. We missed grandpa & grandma Rygmyr and aunt Kristen and aunt Caitlin while they were in Florida visiting great grandpa & grandma Rygmyr.




Daddy got new speakers for his truck, books, a up-converting DVD player and a this new gun that mommy bought him. He sure does like it!

Mommy got a bag for her new camera (that was part of her birthday and part of her Christmas), a super cute jacket and these diamond earrings that daddy gave her.

Happy birthday Andrew!

Today is our son Andrew's 2nd birthday. Nathan and I went to go see him today and feed the ducks and geese with him. (David is out of town this week so he couldn't go) They finished the pathway that they have been talking about doing for two years. It looks really good. Andrew has a new friend there now too. Another little boy has a memorial rock next to him. There were about 60 geese there today. They kind of sacred Nathan because they kept trying to steal his bread out of his hand. Nathan had lots of fun though.
Happy birthday Andrew. We love you very much. We are so grateful to know that we are an eternal family, and that we will see you again. We miss you lots.

World of Coke

Nathan and I went to The World of Coke today. We had so much fun. Nathan had lots of fun with the polar bear. He snuggled right up to him, and sat on his lap for 10 minutes. After that we went and saw the big Coke Christmas tree. We took lots and lots of pictures, here is a sampling of them, with a little holiday flair.
