Weekending...

Had a pretty decent weekend. Saw friend Eric on Friday night with Gaming night. Saturday went yard saling with sister Amy and Mr. Dave and Nate came a long also. We found Nate this LIttle Tykes "Adventure Mountain" which he can play his Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars on. It's missing a loop to loop, but I ordered one off eBay so he has got a replacement. Lady selling sounds like she is quite serious about the things cause she goes into all the physics of how to make a car do a successful loop to loop. Sunday we headed over to Columbia for a first cousin's once removed HS graduation party. I was good to visit with some family that hadn't seen in a while.

Saturday night, Lynn took Nate out for a date night. Nate had fun with Mom as they went to the toy store at the Mills (PBS kids mall to Nate, although they've removed all references to PBS Kids..).



The boys laying on the couch.


Jonathan has taken to grabbing his toes lately. Pretty funny to watch...



Nate was "Fixing" the sink sunday morning...



Twins again, just lying on the floor at cousin Edie's....

Nate Sayings

Today Nate said he wants to help clean the house for Grandpa and Grandma Starbuck to get here to make gravy!

crazy boy.

Tonight Lynn is going to a girls night now so I will have the boys all to myself. Hopefully all goes okay.

Outing to the Doc

Took Riley to the doc today and got the following pics:






More will follow I'm sure:

Day at the Zoo.

Went to the zoo today as a family. Had a blast. Nate loved looking at the animals and chasing the birds in the courtyard. didn't get to ride the train though. I was thinking since it was a Monday (weekday) there wouldn't be too many people there, but I was kind of wrong. It was packed. Lots of strollers (guess I'm one of those now also). We saw the bears and big cats and giraffes and such. HIdden treasure that Lynn discovered was the bird house. It was quiet and less crowded....

Here's the pics:


Nate and an Elephant Statue at the entrance



Lynn showing Nate the Zebras (or camels) or some kind of 4 legged mammal...



Nate chasing birds in the dining area place.



Riley (left) and Jonathan.



Lynn and Nate in front of Zebra.



Lynn and boys.



Nate looking at Giraffes.



Nate and I in front of pond/fountain.



Nate looking inside the hippo Tank. Water was pretty murky, but you could see the hippos swim by close to the window.



Nate with a statue of a cobra.




Nate was pretty tired at the end, so this is what he did while driving back to the house:

New Stroller

Lynn got a new stroller for the twins last night. We got it out today and put them into it and this is what they all looked like: they appear to like it.
