Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

For Mother's Day we went to Albertson's Park and had a picnic and watched the wildlife. It was a really fun day and very relaxing. We saw lots of ducks and geese and Mule Deer (Two deer ran right through our picnic, and we saw three more. Kade thought it was really cool because they literally crashed the picnic, we could have reached out and touched them... I don't know who was more surprised, Kade or the deer! :)

Me and my beautiful wife. Nat is an amazing wife and mother. I am constantly amazed at how kind, gentle, patient, and loving she is. I am one of the most blessed of men. She is beautiful and talented; She is a wonderful woman. I love her and cannot imagine life without her. (She's hot too!)


Nat with our boys on Mother's day at Albertson's park- Kade was not loving the camera, but the camera was loving his mamma!




Kade wanted to follow the geese, he was honking at them and thought the baby geese were so cute. After the picnic he would walk around and walk up to all the geese and say "hi goose," and wave, and then "bye" and wave again. it was very cute!


When we were done eating we went for a walk and Kade wanted to pull Ethan in the wagon. He would not let anyone help him... he wanted to do it. Our walk was well over a mile, and he pulled Ethan the whole way and didn't stop... I was very impressed. (I tried to take the cooler out and carry it to make it lighter for him, but he wouldn't let me.) He even pulled Ethan up the hills with out help! He loves pulling Ethan!




Ethan was so cute! He was all bundled up and just peeking out and watching the animals. He is such a sweet little guy.


We loved watching the geese and their babies. It was very fun!

HELLO BOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAVE ARRIVED!

Kade is LOVING having a yard to play in! It is no much fun to just walk outside and be in a yard! He has loved running from one fence to the other, running in and out of the door, running from the house to the fence, and pretty much a whole lot more running! :) He also tries to make sure Ethan gets to enjoy it too, so he pulls him around the yard in the wagon. He is a great big brother! (Kade is not the only one who loves a yard! I watered my grass, I will now mow my grass, and I love my yard! Nat has flowers and this is all new to us... We LOVE it!) ps. my grass looks a little dead now, but we got the irrigation water on and it will soon be a barbaque dream yard!


Ethan in tow!


Video!


Ethan is getting to be a pretty big boy! He is strong and loves sitting up all on his own... if he falls backward he can get himself back up... sideways he still needs a little help! :)


It has been so much fun having Jeremy and his girls so close. Kenidi and Kade have become fast friends. Here they are reading on Kade's bed. Kades book is usually upside down. ;)


Kortni and Ethan were having so much fun, even though he is half the size she is, and almost half the weight too. She found his ticklish spot and he was laughing so hard!


Kodi and Kortni have been great helpers and Nat hasn't had to use the dishwasher and is not allowed to wash dishes when they are around. They have been tons of fun. (They love doing dishes... not going to complain about that!) As a bonus, by the end of dishes the floor is pretty much mopped too!

So Long Phoenix

After the rattlce snake incident, nat made the mighty hunters an awesome cake! (it tasted great!)


Kade has parrallel parking down pat. We find his cars like this all the time, and when he goes to bed parks them by his bed like this. He LOVES cars!




This Video is awesome. check out Kade's eyes. He loves being spun.


The box could only handle so much spinning! :)


Jeremy showed Kade a magic trick where he pulled a penny out of his ear... so naturally, Kade thought he should put it back... don't worry, we have taught him not to put stuff in his ears now. pretty cute though.


One cute baby!


Kade is deffinately a white boy!
