Catching up...

I just looked at our blog and I haven't updated anything since September! I'm a little behind obviously! Nathan is still loving school. He is growing up on us. Getting taller every day I believe! We got a new puppy about a month ago. His name is Mutley. He is a Shih Tzu and Nathan just adores him. He says he is his brother, ha! I can't believe it is already Thanksgiving. This year has flown by. Only 32 days until Christmas, wow. That's all I have time for now. Maybe I will do better at updating in the future!

Nathan's 1st day of Kindergarten!

Nathan started Kindergarten yesterday and absolutely loved it! When I picked him up his first words were "can I go back tomorrow???"

Hummingbirds

Nathan & Ben wanted to get a hummingbird feeder after seeing them flying around the flowers out front. We got one and put it up last weekend and it only took them a few days to find it! There were 4 or 5 out there yesterday!

Georgia Trip

Nathan and I went to Georgia to see my Daddy's Sister's and Brother. My Uncle lives in Hawaii and one of my Aunt's in Arizona so when they both go to my other Aunt's house in Georgia we go down and visit. This year was my Aunt Debbie's 60th birthday and she had a big party. We couldn't miss it!

Nathan partied hard and passed out on the couch...

Nathan & Angel...I see a small house dog in our future...he fell in love with her!

Nathan latched onto Uncle Butch fast! They played ball, read books, watched movies, you name it, LOL!



We took Nathan to the Aviation Museum in Warner Robbins, GA. Nathan has always had a passion for airplanes. It must be in his blood since his Grandpa Doug worked for Boeing as an Aeronautical Engineer. Nathan says he is going to be a pilot when he grows up. I'm not sure how that is going to work since he is as terrified of heights as I am, but we'll see. LOL







We also went to the Georgia Aquarium. This was our second time to go but Nathan was only 2 years old when we went the first time so he didn't remember it.

These are my Daddy's siblings...left to right, Aunt Dee Dee, Uncle Butch, and Aunt Debbie.

Nathan also learned to play Yahtzee while we were there. I have never learned how but I bet I will be doing that soon!

Kindergarten Summer Camp @ Walker Elementary

We've been so busy lately I haven't had time to post so I'll try to catch up with this one...

Nathan attended a Kindergarten Summer Camp at Walker Elementary last month. He went 4 days and the last day they went on a field trip to see Marmaduke and then went to the library. He got to ride on a school bus for the very first time and that alone made going all week well worth the effort! He made some new friends and had so much fun!

Happy Father's Day!

Pop, Ben, and Nathan went to our church last night for the annual Father & Son dinner. They had a great time and before they left I took some pictures. They turned out so good!

Curb Appeal

Ben's friend Jason owns a landscaping business here in Savannah and he does excellent work! We finally got tired of looking at bare flower beds and had him come give the place some curb appeal! It looks great!

Another busy weekend!

Weekends are just not long enough to squeeze in everything we want to do lately!

Saturday was my Great Nephew JD's 1st birthday and also his party. Naturally we went and it was so much fun! He dug into that little cake and made a huge mess. Nathan just stared at his when he turned 1. They grow too fast!




Saturday was also free fishing day in Tennessee. We went with my Sister and her crew and my Niece Julie. Ben had to work Friday & Saturday night both. We hate doing things without him but he said he would rather us do that than miss out on things. So we went.


Sunday we pretty much swam all day! Ben's parents got us all a membership to a local pool. We surprised Nathan with it over the weekend and he was very excited! Between the UV swim shirt and the Ocean Potion sunscreen he never even got pink and we were in the water more than we were out on Sunday! Nathan learned to swim last year but I wasn't sure how he would do the first time this year. He took to the water like a fish! He is a very good swimmer for 5 years old!

Happy Memorial Day!

We had a wonder 3 day holiday weekend last weekend! We kicked off the weekend with a baseball game. Nathan's team won and we are currently 5-1. He has 2 more games to go and will be sad when the season ends.

My Sister and my 2 Nieces and I had a yard sale Saturday morning in Waynesboro. I didn't make a fortune but I got rid of a lot of clutter. We are setting up again this weekend in Clifton at the annual community yard sale. Hopefully we'll get rid of the rest of our clutter. Sunday we went to church and came home for a lazy day. I had to work so we couldn't plan anything much to do. Nathan developed an earache so I had to leave work around 8:30pm. When he is sick he wants his Mommy...end of story lol. He got to feeling better in a few hours and we set up the tent in the garage and camped Sunday night. Since it rains every other day lately our yard is too wet to set up outside, and this way the bugs don't eat us up!! Monday we ate lunch at Ben's parents house and then headed to Piney for fishing and swimming! The water was ice cold and we didn't catch any fish but we still had fun! Nathan jumped off the bridge! Daddy caught him but if you know Nathan very well you know he isn't the dare devil type! I still can't believe he did it!

Here are some pictures from our weekend...
