A week with Natie

A few weeks ago, I spent the week with Nate while his parents were in L.A.  Hannah and Andrew were around some too. Here are a few pictures from our week.  We had a good time!

Chillin'

Cuddlin' with the boy

Helping me make pizza. lol

Cuddlin' and watchin' veggietales before bed

all ready for bed

I made Natie eggs one morning and it had two yolks!  There were 4 eggs in the batch like that.  Don't see that every day.

Playing Settlers of Catan with Andrew.  It's a tradition now. :)

He is such a silly boy!  We were playing with one of those 'talking tom' apps where you talk to it and it talks back to you.  We were making silly voices and singing to it for a long time.  We were laughing so hard.  I LOVE this kid!

Elijah's 9th Birthday

I went to the Weidner's to surprise Elijah for his birthday.  It was such a special day.  I can't believe he is 9!  I am so proud of him!

 I haven't seen this little peanut for a couple of weeks and he is starting to look more and more like Estie.

 We went trick or treating.  Estie was a fairy.

 Lydia was Jessie the cowgirl

 Face paint complete!

 Elijah as Ricochet, Junior Asparagus as a super hero from veggietales.

 The trio ready to get their loot of candy!
