Nate's Favorite things (try singing it!)

Newspaper, best when it goes in my mouth,
Crawling where ever I want 'round the house,
Graham crackers are a wonderful treat
Rivaled perhaps only by my feet.

I love to kick and splash in the bath
Camden is good at making me laugh
Flying real high, way up in the air
Eating all sorts of new foods in my chair.

When the teeth come,
When I tumble,
When I feel so sad,
My fam'ly helps me remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad!

Dinosaurs, cars, trucks, and things that make noise
Most of Camden's toys bring me great joys
Computer or any other kind of cords
I know where they are and go back for more.

Book baskets, tickles, trash cans, and apples.
Talking quite loudly when we're in the chapel.
Starting to pull myself up where I can.
Trying to get whatever's in mom's hands.

When the teeth come,
When I tumble,
When I'm feeling sad,
My fam'ly helps me remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad!

Pictures will be added shortly.  Love you, Nate!

Christmas photo shoot

 When you have two children who won't sit still, when you have one who looks like he'll sneeze in pictures because of the flash, when one likes to wrestle and the other likes to crawl away, when you have about 3 minutes to take pictures, and when both of the children are boys, here's what you get:

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Here are a few shots of our family Temple Square trip to see the lights.  It was soo cold and windy!  We got to see my parents and little sister before they went back to California.  The temple really is beautiful!  

 Some highlights:

~While we were there, we stopped at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  An nice elderly man offered to buy Nate for 115 million dollars.  Sorry, you're going to have to increase your offer for lots more than that!

~We got gingerbread cookies from Deseret Book.  If you haven't been to the updated one near temple square, there's a really cool train inside that "makes" gingerbread cookies.  Yum!

~A group of Madrigals sang to us.

~We saw Richard Elliot (or so we think) in the Tabernacle playing the organ.  Cool!

~A bagpipe player (who really needed some serious winter clothes on-not just his Scottish costume) played Christmas tunes for us.
