It's a BOY!!!

We had our ultrasound last week and found out that we are having another boy!!! We are sooooooo excited! Nathan and his little brother will only be two years apart and we think they will be the best of buddies. Nathan will be so excited to have a little brother to play cars with and teach him all the boy stuff. Nathan's birthday is December 11th and this baby is due December 7th. It is amazing to be having two December babies and they are both boys. We can't wait to meet this new little guy!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a very fun 4th of July together. In the morning our friends the Butlers took us boating. We had so much fun and Nathan loved riding on the boat. Ryan got to try wake boarding and so tubing. Nathan liked watching his Daddy out there. It was a great day to be on the lake. Thank you Butlers!

Later we went to see fireworks and Nathan enjoyed the show. Every once in awhile he would say whoa. It was so cute. Our festive family ready to enjoy the fireworks.

Nathan loves his new wagon and really enjoys riding in it. It was the perfect way to haul everything to the firework show.

Nathan know his way around the kitchen. We made some cookies and as always Nathan had to help. His favorite part is watching everything get mixed and then liking the beaters.

Ryan tearing it up on the wake board. He had a lot of fun and it just took him a few tries to get the hang of it. I was a little sad that I didn't get to participate this time around. Oh well, maybe next year.

Ready for the sun!

At the Zoo

Ryan had the day before the 4th off so we decided to take a trip to the zoo. We had so much fun together and Nathan LOVES animals. He was running around everywhere and so excited to be there. The giraffes are on of his favorites. We are now members of the zoo and we will be frequent visitors after seeing how much Nathan enjoyed it. Family picture with the giraffes.

Nathan has a little more growing to do.

Ryan has almost got the same arm span as a gorilla.

Buddies

Nathan's new favorite thing is to grab your hand and take you where he would like to go. Daddy was Nathan's zoo buddy that day and they went all over the park together.

Nathan's scary face. I am not quite sure where he learned it.

Baby on the Way

Our newest family member is due to arrive December 7th, five days before Nathan's 2nd birthday. A little crazy I know but we are SO EXCITED that our family is growing. I am 15 weeks along and happy to finally be into the second trimester. That first trimester was a hard one this time around. I don't remember being so sick and tired with Nathan. Maybe that is just how it goes but I am glad to be feeling better. I am still tired all the time but I am pretty sure that is because I have a very active 18 month old to keep up with. We are looking forward to the first ultrasound in just a couple of weeks and we can't wait to find out what we are having. We thought we were tough enough to wait to find out this time but I am just too much of a planner and I can't wait to start making plans! We have absolutely no thoughts about what we are having and we would be happy either way. We just can't wait to meet this new little blessing.

Big News!!!

We are soon going to have four in our family....

a big brother Nathan can't wait to be!!

Happy Days in San Diego

We always enjoy visiting our family in San Diego. We had so much fun at Disneyland and California Adventure. We also were able to enjoy a few days of just relaxing and spending time with our families. Ryan enjoys having projects to help out his dads. This time he helped my dad with our front door. Nathan wanted to help too especially since there were so many cool tools to work with. He is definitely following after his dad!
While the men spent some time laboring the grandmas took Nathan and I to the San Diego Zoo. We had a fun day together and Nathan enjoyed seeing all of the animals. He especially liked the monkeys. They were sure giving him a show. Happy day at the Zoo.

Nathan also liked the little petting zoo they had there. He was not afraid to walk right up to the goats and lambs and give them a pat. He was very gentle and would squat down and get in their face to talk to them.

Of course we had to spend a couple of hours at the beach. Nathan and Dad enjoyed making sand castles and when we were all done Nathan was covered in sand and happy.

What a beautiful day!

Nathan is so lucky to have both grandparents in San Diego. We spent a lot of time at both homes. Nathan liked the bike at grandma Moehle's and it was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Nathan also likes all of the animals at grandma Bryant's. They have three dogs, a cat and a guinea pig. He sure loves going to his grandma's houses.

California Adventure

After a day in Disneyland we spent the next one in California Adventure. We had a lot of fun there and they had a lot of fun things for Nathan to do too. Ryan and I had a favorite ride which was the hang glider simulation ride. It was amazing and it even smelled like oranges when we flew over an orange grove. Happy to be on an adventure.

Our little fire fighter.

Surf's up!

This is one of my favorite pictures. Nathan got to meet Wall-E. Well not really it was just a picture but he sure looked real. Nathan sure liked him. He kept walking over and standing by him.

A bunch of bugs! These glasses were awesome and we look hilarious. We were at A Bug's Life 3D show and it was very entertaining. We were sad when we had to give up the glasses though.

Mom and Nathan happy to be having lunch!

Grandpa and Nathan just relaxing. Nathan loved sitting in these little tractor chairs. Every time we walked by them he had to sit in them. We may need one of our house.

Getting to ride a Bug ride. The Bug's Life section was the cutest part for Nathan and he enjoyed all of the rides.
