Nathan is 4!!!

Nathan's Grammie & Grampie, Grandma Sweetie & Papa, Uncle Dan & Aunt Shannon sent him wonderful gifts and some things for Annie too!
Here's Annie in her new dress, headband and sunglasses from Grammie & Grampie.
Aqua Man!
Cool beach hat, shades, shorts and a new shirt!


Shooting Aqua Man's spire outside...
Waiting patiently for daddy to put together his ESPN Better Batter Baseball machine...
Taking a few practice swings.
Nathan chose to go to the beach for his birthday in lieu of a party. It was a blast! We couldn't find the camera before we left, so there are no pictures. I am sure we'll pay for that in a few years... I can hear it now, "I didn't even get a birthday when I was 4!" Oh man.
Thanks for looking in!
Love,
Mark, Joy & the Kidletts

Memorial Day

We did some shopping around that day, the kids liked playing near the fountain in the shopping center there.





We went to lunch and then went to "look" at a litter of puppies, just to check out what a labradoodle is like and ended up deciding to take one home with us. We don't currently have him but have visited his birth home a few times. We named him Hobie (HO bee) and will take him home to our new townhouse (with a big yard!!!) on July 1st. YAY!

We took the kids to icecream at McDonald's on Monday to play on the structure... this is what ice cream looks like.




Thanks for checking in!

Final Day of Pre-School

The last day of school was the day Nathan got to celebrate his birthday, you'll see a star sticker that says as such. They also had a program of songs they learned throughout the year. I couldn't go, but Mark took photos. Here you go!




Here's Nathan with his teacher Mrs. Quade. She is an amazing lady and Nathan loves being in her class!


Thanks for checking in!

Mother's Day

We had a great day! We went shopping (I got sunglasses), to a Portland Beaver's Game, then finally to P.F. Changs for dinner...YUM!
Fun on the train...


We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher!

Waiting for the train home...

YUMMY noodles!


Nathan really likes chop sticks, for drumming.
It was a really fun day!
Thanks for looking in,
