Nay Nay's biggest fan.

After baseball season was over we decided to put Nathan in a few baseball classes to see if he wanted to keep up with it. His coaches name is Shane and Nathan really seems to like him. He has gotten really good at hitting and throwing!
The lesson starts at 6 so daddy rushes to meet us there from work. When he gets there Nolan pulls up a seat right next to him and cheers Nathan on . Every time he hits it Nolan yells " Good Job Nay Nay!" and will clap. It is so cute and sweet how proud he is of Nate. Nolan has picked up a lot about baseball from watching his big brother and always wants to play.

Slip and Slide.

This weekend for Fathers day we all went out to Mimi and Papa's house. The boys got to stay with them all weekend so on the way out daddy and I picked up a slip and slide for the boys to play on. It has been sooo hot out and the boys love to be outside so we figured this was the coolest way for them to be out in the heat. After lunch we set up the fun. Once it was all unfolded and the water was on neither Nate or Nolan really know how to slide. It is hard to tell them to just run and flop on it like superman. Daddy had to help out and pretty much ended up bowling them down the slide. It was so funny and they loved it! Nolan would go so fast and splash into the pool at the end. Nathan's long legs would flap around all over the place while he was sliding to the pool. It was so funny ad they had a blast. At one point everyone decided it just wasn't going fast enough and Mimi went inside and came out with cooking oil! ha ha hah a. (She looked for baby oil but didn't have any, the cooking oil wasn't her first choice.) By the time they were through they looked liked glistening little turkeys.
And yes Nolan is naked. We didn't remember to bring their swim shorts. We said oh they can just go in their undies , well while we were putting sunscreen on Nate, Nolan came running out in his birthday suit ready to go!

Our new friend.

We have a new friend in this house!
Last night Daddy was outside, he came in to tell me to get a cup and come look at this? I walked out and there was the cutest lizard that looked almost see through. He was pretty darn adorable. Kyle decided we needed to catch him so we could show Nathan in the morning when he woke up. We quickly grabbed Nathans bug catcher ( I know a bug and lizard are totally different. he he he. ) and spent the next 15 minutes catching this little guy. We put him some grass and water in the lady bug house but within 10 minutes felt bad and had to make a bigger home for this guy. We got a huge plastic container that some pretzels came in and poked holes in the top. It was midnight by this point and that is all I could come up with . We looked him up online and he is a gecko. It said they make great pets and are easy to care for. hmmmmmmmmm...................

This morning when we woke up I showed Nathan this cool guy. He thought he was very neat and was even worried about him being in the cage. I let him know he was totally fine and daddy planned on getting him a bigger home :)
Nolan then got a look at the "Izzzard". He reallllly likes him . He kept yelling at anyone who would get to close and say " My Izzzard!". If Nolan was a bit more calm I think it would be really fun to let the lizard sleep in his room but we all know that poor lizard would be running wild in that room the first night.
Daddy and Nathan headed to the pet store to get this guy some crickets to eat. We had read when they are little they eat 3-4 a day and he hadnt had antyhing since last night.
Well they came back with a new lizard aquarium, a heat light, some fancy lizard mulch bedding . water dishes and the crickets! This little lizard has a nice set up!
We still have not come up with a name and he is still on the kitchen counter but I think he is going to fit in just fine with this family. :)


He is cute right
