Nate's helicopter

This is my first ever posting on the blog, and I saved this moment for something very important. I want to show you all the helicopter that KayLyn gave me for Christmas this year.

It goes forward, backward, up, down, left, right, and everywhere in between! Landing on the oatmeal container has taken weeks of practice to learn; it's harder than it looks.

If electrical engineering doesn't pan out for me, maybe I'll become a pilot.


Thanks for the copter, KayLyn!

Happy Birthday Emily

I can hardly believe that Emily is already 1 year old-she is growing up so fast! She didn't quite get some of the birthday traditions (opening presents and blowing out the candle)but Jessica was very glad to help her out!! She understood about the cake though! I left her in her high chair to check on Jessica in the other room and when I came back she had pulled one of the cupcakes off the pan and there was chocolate all over her, the counter, and the high chair, and she was really enjoying it!

Happy Birthday Jessica

Jessica is 3 years old now!! Janelle and McKay were visiting during New Years and her birthday, so that was a lot of fun. Janelle helped me make a cake for Jessi.






Jessica really enjoyed her birthday, and said to me for days afterward, "Thank you for telling me happy birthday, mom, thank you!"
