Truck Rides

Elizabeth took her first ride in the truck the other day. It's a special day when the kids get to take a truck ride. Only one car seat can fit and it has to be in the front seat (don't worry, we turn the air-bag off).

The trips are always with Dad. The trips are to places like Lowes or the dump. These are places where you need the truck!

Jeremy needed to take a trip to Lowes to pick up a post. Our old post rotted. Nathan has always taken these trips in the past, but it was decided that Elizabeth is big enough to face forward and start taking these trips too!

Jeremy likes to stop at a gas station and let them pick out a special snack that they don't get at home. In this case, it was wafer cookies.

On the way home, they stopped at a grocery store and picked up lots of packing boxes. They're going to have to make a LOT more stops to pick up boxes. We're going to need a lot!

Show and Tell

Nathan was show and tell at preschool this week and he was again VERY excited! He decided to bring his Hoppy and his Puppy because they are his favorite animals that he plays with all day and sleeps with all night! He did a great job answering the teacher's questions and the kids' questions.

He got to be the line leader and helper the day before he was show and tell person. He always does so well with the weather! He said the weather was "Half sunny, half cloudy. That means partly cloudy!"

The Jeremy Face

Whenever Elizabeth does this face, I think it's so cute because she looks like Jeremy when she makes the face. So now she'll deliberately make the face and say, "My Jeremy face!"

Dad Snuggle Time

Elizabeth likes to stall a little before we put her down for her nap. Her favorite place to stall is snuggled up in Dad's lap. She gets a little water and her bunny and then off to her crib!

Adventures in Kite Flying

Jeremy and Nathan were out flying a kite on a fairly windy day. The weather was perfectly fine. A large gust of over 40 mph came up and snapped the string off the kite. The kite flew over the shop and into the neighbor's yard. Nathan was really worried about the kite so they went over to the neighbor's house and got it right away. Afterwards, Jeremy said, "Wow, that was an adventure wasn't it?"

Nathan replied, "That's not the kind of adventure I want to have again."

Sleeping

She's so adorable when she sleeps!

Dr. Nathan

Nathan loves to dress up as a doctor and he likes to set up a clinic in the living room for people and stuffed animals.


Here he is showing off the bandaids on the paws of his hoppy. Poor Hoppy had to have many shots in her feet!


Here he is giving Hoppy her shots in her feet.


Today the waiting room was full while he worked on his hoppy! 1 Dad, 1 little sister, 1 little bunny and 1 big bear.


Dad was called for his checkup so the waiting room had a party.


Checking Dad's blood pressure.


Checking Dad's throat. He has strep! He had to have shots in his knees to take care of it.
