Bob took Nathan to the Monster Truck Jam last night. He went with Dave Palmer and his two oldest boys, Justin and Ryan. The boys had a blast! They had passes to the pit prior to the event, so here's some pictures of all the trucks and a couple drivers. Nathan's favorite truck is the Predator! I believe this will be a yearly event for Nathan and daddy!

Big milestones!

Nathan lost his second tooth last night just before dinner! The bottom center right, just next to the one he lost over Christmas break in a snow bank! He was quite concerned when he got home from school because it was wiggling so much, he thought he might swallow it during dinner. All is well though and of course he was very excited this morning after seeing the tooth fairy had come.




And little miss Lauren is now potty trained. She started last week after returning from NY. It took her 2 days to get the pee-pee perfected, and after a few scary attempts of #2, she is now going poo-poo as well. We are very proud and she is quite excited at her newest accomplishment. I took her to Target to get something "special", and the picture below shows what she picked out! Who knew, another stroller!! Even after getting the oh so sought after pink polka dot stroller from Santa, she insisted this was the special gift she wanted.


And here's a couple pics of the kids eating spagetti just because it makes me laugh at how much they love pasta! Are all kids addicted to spagetti like ours?? Hope everyone is adjusting to 2009 and getting back in routine.
I have lots of thank you notes to send, but thanks to all for a great trip to the chilly north!

A tribute to Kathy - love the Seattle background or what??

What an awesome vacation we had in NY! We had such a beautiful drive (11 hrs) up and hit New Hartford just in time for dinner. And the very next day we enjoyed several inches of snow - the kids loved it! We had a great time sledding, spending time with our cousins and Nana and Papa and taking walks to Grandma Rye's! Looking forward to the next visit with everyone - hugs and kisses. Thank you to Mom and Dad for all you do! Love ya and miss ya -

Our next journey was up to Old Forge on Tuesday. Even more snow! Keller, Wyatt and Jake were already there and we were so excited to see them. We had such a great time. Nathan and Keller did a lot of catching up and getting to know each other well. Lauren tried out her senority (age # of course) on her poor unsuspecting cousins Wyatt and Jake! She has learned well from the master of how to ruffle feathers. Bob and I truly enjoyed our visit and thank everyone for their gifts and conversations and biting their tongues with our children! haha Thanks to Mom and Dad for everything. It was all perfect! Love ya -
