It's my gun...

So, I get a call from my nephew last night. When I was young and wild I bought a paintball gun. I didn't use it too much. It was a splatmaster pistol. He wants it. But unfortunately, I've already taken it down her to St. Louis and was planning on selling it on eBay. he might shoot his eye out anyways.

Horror of horrors..... Nate said "Barney" tonight. WE were over at Vestas and she had a Barney clothe book and Lynn was showing it too him and showed him Barney and said Barney and he said Barney. sheesh. Hopefully, that is a word he will quickly forget...

Other than that, here are some pics I took of Nate recently. I got him a couple of Thomas videos last weekend and he got a Thomas overnight bag, with a handle and all. He can take it to the airport if he wants too.

Here Nate is watching a Thomas video at his desk:


Here he is in the Spider-man costume I got him also (sorry it is all blurry. he moves fast):

Strange..

Noticed today in the bathroom that Lynn has placed a bottle of mustard on the back of the toilet. I know with us doing clothe diapers, that is usually where she cleans the more solid ones. Guess that brings a whole new meaning to Grey Poupon, or should I say Poop-on?

Actually, that sounds like one of the stories I read in Reader's Digest or something where a family was out to dinner with their new born and the dad saw that he had spilled some mustard, and swiped it up with his finger and put it in his mouth, only it wasn't mustard....

We almost had a similar experience last night. AT the dinner table, Nate had a messy and it leaked out and he got it on his hand unbeknowest to us. It took Lynn smelling it to discover what it was... Ugh!

Well, enough talk about Poop. Hope you all have a good evening. I'm going to the airport tonight to pick up a friend.

Corn on the cob

We went up this weekend to my parents because on Sunday we had a family reunion on my mom's side to go to. Nate, as usual, had a blast. He was most upset on Friday night when we got up there to find out that my brother had parked a big wagon of straw in the Morton right in front of the four wheeler and the Mule, so neither could be ridden that night. My dad took us out in the truck though and showed us the hay. He has a new bailer and was extoiling the virtues of all it could do. All he has to do is stop and push a button, pretty much does everything else for him. He has to break some old habits with his old bailer also.

Nate had corn on the cob for this first time this weekend. We got it from my parent's garden. Also, Jackson encountered his first electrical fence, and probably will not be visiting the corn patch in quite a LONG time.

Here's a pic of Nate eating the corn:


And another:


We also got our picture taken at the family reunion. Here is us at Marr Park outside Washington, IA.


Also, got Nate's picture taken with his Great, Great-aunt Pat. She saw him a year ago over Labor day and we'll be printing this one out to send to her. That's my mom in the pic also holding Nate.



I'm trying out the Google Web Album for these pictures, so I don't know how they will turn out. We'll have to see. Hope all is going well for everyone.

Complete Waste of Time

Was searching for the Incredible Machine on the web and came upon this video. the ending jingle is a little annoying and someone had WAY too much free time. Oh well.



I also like the following which is done with all parts from a Honda minivan. Pretty cool. Read that it all happened right on the first take, amazing...

Not my Baby

Last night, Nate and I went over to Miss Vesta's for the evening and all her great grands were there too. Logan had a blast in the Cozy Coup. I've posted pictures below of other people's babies, and then some of Nate also:


This is Logan



This is Sarah, I think, or her twin Hannah. I've not figured them out yet.
