2011 Santa's!

nathan has seen santa 3 times this year! the first was the santa when we went to BARC.

the second was when my friend melissa had a fundraiser for next years relay for life. click here to donate :)

with your donation you would get a picture with santa, make a craft and write a letter to santa. here are nathan's pictures from that event. i LOVE them!

then earlier today we had a knock at the door from this santa....

(it's our bishop)

see what i mean! i think he's worked a deal out with him for extra gifts this year ;)

nathan has been sick since sunday.

last night (tuesday), he snuck out of bed around 8:15pm while i was in my room talking to jaren and curled up with mimi. 5 minutes later he was asleep :) it's 10:07am on wednesday and he's STILL asleep!

skull harbor

one of those websites that runs a 24 hour special on discounted things had a special offer to a place in the east hills mall called skull harbor. so i had to take advantage of that for nathan! he went through a big pirate phase this past summer.

here are his little buddies that joined  us...

they had a little introduction...

the decor is awesome! the walls looks like a cave.

they had the boys dress up like pirates.

they marched around.

they had a sword fight.

they beat up the captain.

group shot...

part of the deal included cake and "grogg."

they knew it wasn't his birthday, but the captain wanted him to blow out a candle anyway. he actually lit it for each kid and had them blow it out.

journal entry...

dear nathan,
we went to utah in september of 2011 for your great grandpa geary's funeral. you were attached at the hip to your grandpa gilbert!

and we also took you to see the "UP" house in herriman.

first year of school!

remember earlier this year when i was freaking out about nathan not talking yet? i'm not so worried anymore.

"teradactyl, brontosaurus, triceritops, stegosaurus, t-rex"

haircut day!

nathan is such a hat kid! so it doens't surprise me that he thinks this firemans hat has a bill like a baseball cap! lol.

the naked stage...

is ever so fun!

sometimes he'll let me take a picture...

othertimes, not so much...

but when dad's around, he's all giggles and smiles!
