I Want to Hold Him!

Recently Anna has been asking to hold Nathan. Since he is almost as big as she is, this is how she "holds" him. (Doesn't Nathan look thrilled?)

More Boots

I can't help it. I'm obsessed with these boots because they are so tiny and cute!!!

First Day at the Pool

We have been having really warm weather, so I decided to take the kids out swimming today. We had to buy Anna a new swimsuit (or "swimming in soup, as she calls it), so we headed to Target first thing this morning. I let her pick her swimsuit, and she actually picked the one with cherries!! I didn't direct her at all, and I even tried to convince her to pick other ones I thought were cute, but she was dead set on the pink cherries. That's my girl!!

Easter Outfits

I didn't take pictures last week of the kid's Easter clothes, so I put them in the same outfits yesterday and did a photo session after church.

True Cowgirl

Like I said, she would wear these to bed if I let her.

The two birthday kids

I feel sick!!!

Nathan and Alivia's birthdays are just 5 days apart, so we decided to have a joint party for them. Thanks to everyone who came and joined in the celebration!!!

Some Perspective

Wrangler Cowgirl

Last weekend while we were visiting Blair's family, Grandma Lybbert took Anna to buy her first pair of boots and Wrangler jeans. She would sleep in these things if I let her. Thanks Grandma!!

Splish Splash

Yes, these are the traditonal "my kids are so cute in the bath tub" pictures. What can I say? They just are!!

Nathan's Threads

This outfit is from Grandma Niederhauser. As Anna would say, "It's so cute!!"

Shorty Jammies

I think shorty jammies are one of the cutest things ever. I love spring and summer!

Nathan's 1st Birthday

Yet another amazing cake by Blair

Anna thinks no one is paying attention while she tries to open one of Nathan's presents. She actually got half the wrapping paper off before anyone noticed. She doesn't quite understand yet when things aren't for her.

Thanks Auntie Erin!

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!

Is this big one for me??

Thanks Dan & Ariana!

Thanks Meg!

Thanks Anna!

Thanks Mommy & Daddy!

Is that mine? Yummy!!!

What is this stuff?

This is great!!!

Do I have something on my face?

Ugh! I think I'm done.

Here are a few pictures from Nathan's birthday. OK, so I went a little crazy. But a kid only has one first birthday, right?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!!!!!

Nathan is 1 year old today!!! I can't believe it has been a whole year since our precious little boy was born, weighing in at a whopping 4 lb 10 oz and 18 inches long. He sure has grown since then. We are so grateful to have his sweet little spirit in our family. Happy Birthday, sweet boy!!!
