Popsicles

At the beginning of May we had some really nice weather where it would go up to 18 or 20 degrees. Only lasted maybe a week and since has been rotten weather and COLD but we enjoyed it while it lasted. Here is Nathan enjoying his very first popsicle. He was sitting on some landscaping tiles in the back yard having a grand time and he thought that was great. He is getting so big so fast I wish I could freeze time.

Yahtzee

We have a Disney children's yahtzee game and we were all playing it together. Nathan was sooooooooo excited about rolling the dice that he hogged them the whole time and we ended up letting him roll for most of us. Then after the game was over I let him go to town with the dice. He thought it was too fun and watching him was a riot!

Richard's Birthday

Well I am going to throw some random posts at you as they become available. HA!HA! Our computer was in need of some TLC and now we are back up and running so let the posting begin!



Richard opening his big surprise present ( it is always very difficult to get him something he likes but doesn't know about in advance!)

Rich and the kids with his annual Black Forest Cake.

Rich and his new firepit. Plan was that we like to have bonfinres and now even though we have to live in the city we can still enjoy the outdoors in our little backyard.

The kids of course thought this was great!!


Nathan got in on the eating marshmallows but not roasting them.

Kristin loves smores...


But not as much as Alex! HA!HA!

Fine line between enjoying the marshmallows and dealing with the sticky mess it creates. Nathan was having no enjoyment of the mess! TUB TIME!

Kristin's 5th Birthday

One of Kristin's gift openings and a run in with Alex. True life at the Kinners! HA!HA!

One of Nathan's favorite gifts from Christmas.

Back In Time...Christmas morning Santa Came!

Here is a video of the kids on Christmas morning just after they discovered Santa had come!

Here are a bunch of photos from Christmas morning....

Nathan and the hat

I have neglected my blogging for quite some time and, although I still enjoy reading everyone else's fairly often, I felt the need to update ours as well. Having said this, be prepared for multiple posts. HA!HA!

First up is Nathan. He is so cute as all children are at his age. Discovering new things and having their own quirky characteristics. One of Nathan's is that he loves to put everything on his head. In this particular video it is Daddy's hat which does indeed go on a head. However, it does not need to be something that belongs there, just anything in general from receiving blankets to the kids underwear (when he is helping mommy fold laundry) to toys. He did eventually get the hat on properly but I missed it in the video. He was about 14 months old at this point.

Another one of his favorite things is drawing. Not sure which hand is dominant yet as Daddy keeps switching it to his right but I know he does like to use his left. Here is a photo of all three kids using their creative talents.

Alex's creativity led him to adorn our dining room walls like an exhibit at an art gallery of his Pokemon drawings. Below are only a small sampling of the artwork created. HA!HA!
