This is one of my favorite pictures.
Picture of Mom and Nathan.
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.
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!

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.

Nathan and Emma weren't to sure about the water at first! 
Here Nathan is soaked from head to toes. We were watering the lawn after mowing it the other day and Nathan thought it was so much fun to stick his hands in the water.
Rich was also soaked from Nathan squirting him with the water.
The video is of Nathan getting hit with the sprinkler.
Below is also some yellow flowers, I call this picture "Rich walking in a field of Yellow Flowers"
We were finally able to get a lawn mower and get the lawn mowed. It looks so much better, here are a couple pictures of the process and the jungle Rich mowed through.
Nathan, Dad, and Mom! Can you tell that the wind was blowing just a little bit?
These next couple of pictures are of Rich and Nathan in the loader. Rich was hauling manure and we decided to take a trip out to see him. 
Nathan hugging his daddy in the truck! So during our move in February to our new rental I lost the camera battery charger. I looked everywhere for it couldn't find it anywhere. Then one day as I was looking at some old pictures, there was the charger. As I went to grab the camera I couldn't find it anywhere, great just what I needed. I looked for about 3 weeks and still couldn't find it, now I was starting to worry. Well as I was cleaning the bathroom last week I thought I need to clean out the basket on top of the toilet. You know what I am talking about the one that holds all the good reading material, "Classic Trucks" and the "Ensign"!! As well as the bathtoys, hair ties I even found a ruler. Then I saw it "The Camera!" So finally they are back together and I can take pictures once again of our handsome little man and the adventures that we have everyday.
So a little update for everyone Nathan is now 13 months and teething again. I told Rich last night that I don't HATE many things, DISLIKE a lot but not HATE, but I do have to admit that I HATE teething. The pain they go through is so heart aching. Added along with the fevers, the drooling, the wining, and the sleepless nights. I hope the end is near!! Nathan is starting to say a couple of words, of course mama and dada. He also loves to say "HI", "OT-OH", "POPORN" (popcorn), "EYET" (light). He is so cute and loves to have us sing, Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree, talk on the phone, dance, and play with his trucks.
Rich was called to be the Ward Clerk about a month ago, and he loves the calling. I am a little sad that he is not teaching the Sunbeam class with me anymore. We do grab him often to translate for us with a little boy who doesn't speak English. Rich also is working a couple of days a week after work for a farmer in our ward. He enjoys being in the tractor, which I think is therapeutic for him. There he can just be in silence and relax.
For me I am still one of the Sunbeam teachers, which is a challenge in itself. I am on the Enrichment committee and I am getting things ready for a Super Saturday activity in the next couple of months. Also I have been watching 2 little boys a couple times a week for a friend. I am still sewing and love it. I just did a dress for my little sister, made curtains for our living room, finished Nathan's bumper pads, made two aprons, making little girl dresses, and now started on a gardening tote. I am thinking of putting some of the dresses that I am making on Etsy, so we will see how that goes.
So the other day Starlie and I were coming home from a baby shower and we hear giggling from the back seat, and this is what we saw...
Nathan and Emma holding hands, seriously this is so cute!
Okay so i started to write on the 4th but didn't finish so here is the finished post. Today our little boy is 1 year old! We can't believe how the time has gone by. He is such a joy in our life and so much fun. Currently he loves Popsicles, sweeping the floor, tractors, the washer and dryer, and his sippy cup. He is into everything since he has been walking and has the battle wounds to show for it. Yesterday he hit his head twice on the wall, once on the couch and got his finders in a mouse trap, and has realized if he stands on the base heater he can grab the blinds. We love him so much and are so happy he is in our lives. For some reason I can't post pictures but I will soon.
