Thirsty Boy!

While up camping in Idaho Nathan found a place to get a drink that was just his size.
He even tried sticking his tongue in the faucet.
Those eyes are just saying "Look at me, I am so cute."

And the end result. One little happy boy saying cheese for the camera!

Found Camera

So after getting back from our vacation in Idaho we couldn't find our camera. We were sure that we had looked everyplace in the pick-up, all the luggage, and at Lori's house. Thanks again Lori for searching high and low for the camera. Just two days ago Rich found it in the pick-up. WOO-HOO! Anyways, here are some quick snap shots of us!

So here is Nathan playing in the dirt (Which doesn't surprise us at all!). Nathan was trying to help Grandpa Tomlinson and Daddy put in a new sewer, one handful at a time!

One of the trips we took Josey to Silverwood. This was our 2nd trip and it was raining most of the time, but it didn't stop us. More pictures to come of the fun we had.

Camping up at Buffalo campground. Nathan had so much fun riding around in the dump truck. We actually had to hide it he would have been in it the whole time.

Mom and Nathan on a little hike to a cabin up at Big Springs in Island Park. Oh how could you not love this little man!

Nathan loves his daddy! He went everywhere with him and had to so much fun doing it. I wish I could have taken a picture of Nathan kissing Rich's head is was so cute!

Well more pictures to come and an update on what we have been doing! Lot's I promise and more to do this week and next.

Camping and Fires

Just a quick update. We are in Idaho Until the middle of next so you wont be hearing from us anytime soon. Sorry!!

Camping this weekend was a blast, but when we all come home from the must needed weekend of fun we came home to a FIRE! Rich's parents home caught on fire, no structural damage but soot damage. Scary but everything is still standing, will update soon.

Silverwood Cont.

I want to show a video of Rich going on a crazy roller coaster ride, but when I watched the video I realized you could hear some swear words so until we go again you will have to wait. Here is a picture of him when he got off though, holding on for balance.

This picture is of Rich and Josey on a roller coaster ride.

The picture above and below are of Rich and Megan, Sorry Megan all the pictures I had have your head cut off.

Rich Aubrey and Rena going round and round and round!

Tom and Zach are in the picture above and Crystal, Crista and Lizzy are in the one below. Those little girls could handle almost any ride. I would have been sick!

Silverwood

So Friday we headed up to Silverwood in Northern Idaho with some friends. It is an amusement park and a water park all in one. We had so much fun and we can't wait to go again. Thanks again for going Crystal.

Nathan and Daddy at the Toddler section of the park. Nathan not to sure on all the noise and water splashing everywhere.

Mom, Nathan and Daddy!

This is Emily, Crystal's little girl. She loved the water!!

Nathan and Daddy at lunch time. Check out Rich's shoulders you can see where he got a little bit of sun. We spent most of the day at the water park which was a blast.

Next we went for a train ride in the park which was fun and relaxing.
Josey and Crista!Dad, Nathan and Mom!
After the train ride we headed over to the amusement park and had some wild rides. Rich's sister Megan and her family met up with us which added to the fun.

Mud, Mud, Mud!!

So the other day we were trying to fix our sprinkler system and we flooded our flower bed. Nathan took full advantage of it and the result a little boy made out of mud. This is one of my favorite pictures.

Got the hand shovel and I'm going to work.

"Cheese"

Splish, splash I'm takin a mud bath!!

Memorial Day!

On Memorial Day we made a trip up to Spokane to see Rich's Uncle's grave. Rich was named after him, and we have been talking about going up there for a couple years and we finally made it. The first picture is of Nathan and his puppy on the car ride up, he had to bring his best friend.

Here is a picture of Nathan by his great uncles grave and wanting to grab at the flag. Picture of Mom and Nathan.


Daddy and Nathan


Uncle Richard's grave.



Then after we spent time at the cemetery we headed over to Aunt Megan's and Uncle Tom's. We had a little BBQ and went to Post Falls Park and looked at the Falls. I only got a couple of pictures at Megan's house and the camera battery died.
Daddy and Nathan playing out side with Zach.

Here is a picture I pulled off the internet of Post Falls Water Falls. When we were there, there was a lot more water and breath taking.

Outside

So in the end of February we moved out of the apartment and into a house across town. The house hasn't been lived in for 6 months and renters before us didn't take the best care of the house. So the past couple of weeks Rich and I have been hard at work cleaning up the yard. So needless to say Nathan has been so happy because we spend most of our time outside. Oh we also finally got our garden planted but I think most of the plants will die. I will post more on that when we get some more pictures. So here is a little Smilebox album for everyone too look at!

So busy!

We have been so busy lately that I fill like I am going to go crazy. So below I have posted some pictures of the things we have been doing. First Nathan helping dad put the tie down hooks in his pickup. Nathan had to be on dad's lap helping the whole way.

For Mother's Day Rich took me out to eat at IHOP. I love this place, because they serve breakfast all day long. I could eat breakfast foods for any meal, I just love them. So this is Nathan giving me a big smile from across the table. He is really big into saying "CHEESE" and giving a big goofy smile. Isn't he so handsome?

Now these next two are of Nathan and his daddy's boots. Nathan is so obsessed with shoes, Rich says he gets that from me! Anyways he was having so much fun with them on and he can even walk in the a little ways. So I have to tell you what happened right before this picture was taken. As I told you earlier Nathan is into saying "CHEESE" for the camera. Also right before this picture was taken he had a bunch of milk. So he smiled and went to say 'cheese' and what came out was a belch of him saying 'cheese'. It was to funny that Rich and I were almost crying from laughing so hard.
