My Nash

It has been fun watching you grow and learn new things everyday.

Nasherisms:

the concept of "All Done" has moved outside of just food.

You will empty a bucket of toys and then look at me and say "All Done"

When you are tired of doing something or do not want me to say something you say "All Done"

All the Doors upstairs need to be closed

Cushions on the couch need to be off so your cars can have full range of the couch

Sweeping and helping clean is a favorite of yours

Bottles have stayed in the crib for awhile now and you have determined if you want them,

that you will position them so that you can suck them through your crib slats.

Early in the morning, when you first wake up the first word out of your mouth is,

Ka chow???....like you are looking for him:)
Watching TV you love to put your feet up on the coffee table and back on the couch

Favorite Thing:

Cars are your favorite thing right now

You love the Cars movie

You love any type of hot wheels cars especially if they are the Cars characters

You tend to leave cars in very hidden spots

or play with them in the box that they come in

Shows/Movies:

Cars

Cars 2

Little Einsteins which you call "Pat Pat Pat"

Thomas the Train in your words is Choo Choo"

Dogs:

You are in love with dogs, which does not make this momma very happy

(I am not a dog person)

When we are at Nana and Pappi's house you will lay on the ground right next to Sophia

nestle your little head into her

You will also chase her

Anytime you see a big dog, you bark

and then laugh if they start running or doing tricks

Mr. Independence:

You know what you want.

You will turn on the DVD player if we are not watching what you want

You will open the fridge when you want your milk.

You love chocolate milk and watch to make sure I pour the chocolate in it.

Food....if it is something you do not want, you spit it out and make this really funny noise.

(it is hard to discipline and not laugh at this)

Brushing your teeth has to be all you, no need for Momma's help!

Snuggling:

My little one, this momma's heart is so happy.

Sometimes when  you have worn yourself out, you will climb up me and just want to snuggle.

I love these times.

They are so precious and do not happen very often.

Books:

Let's Go - A Book that has all items that go; cars, buses, trucks, airplanes

Lightening McQueen - A book centered around the Cars 2 book;it also makes noise

David and Goliath

Tails - A book around all different tails from animals

Water:

Nash you are in love with water in your face

You will go up to any fountain and stick your face in it and try to drink the water

Your favorite thing is for us to get a hose out and spray it so you can run right into it

In the pool, I think you try to drink the entire pool

You have started to lay on your stomach and kick your feet on the baja step

Slides:
You will climb up to the top of any slide
without any fear
and majority of the time you will come down them head first

Sleep:
You are a good sleeper
Take one nap a day around 12 and sleep from 1.5 to 2 hours
You go to bed around 7:45 and get up around 6 in the morning.
Still sleep with two empty bottles...I have not gotten up the guts to get rid of them yet

You have become a bundle of personality and your Daddy and I are loving every minute of it.

San Diego Part II

This post is long over due, especially since Nash and I just got back from spending another two weeks back in Cali!  But I want to make sure I document this trip.

So here is the second half of our trip to San Diego.

The weather was really nice while we were in SD; so we took advantage of it and spent a lot of time outside.  We played in the backyard and went to the parks.

Nash has conquered slides of all sizes and goes down on his tummy, head first.

This has not caused any problems until this last time we were in SD when he fell on some wood chips

and scraped his lip:(

While I was in town, my dearest friend Dianna had her Third baby.

I have never been in town to celebrate one of her children's birth and was so excited I could be there!

It is wonderful to be able to give back to a friend who has been there for me through some of the roughest times in my life.

We were able to celebrate in this amazing time in her life!

Dianna, Brian and Miss Marinn

Miss Marinn

Such a beautiful baby

He is obsessed with closing doors.

This is him about to shut himself in the bathroom.

Look at that smirk

This is what my Mom's formal living looks like every time Nash is town.

He tends to leave his trains and cars in all fun spots that my Dad finds after we leave.

I say it is his present to remember him by

  Next will be some summer fun we have had!

San Diego July 2012 Part 1

My parents went on an amazing trip to Paris, France for a week and Nash and I went out to my parents house to keep my little sisters company.

We were there a total of three weeks!! Can you believe it?!?!?!

It was so nice to get out of the heat of Arizona, however it was the hottest week in San Diego. However, it was still about 30 degrees less than Arizona.

Below are some pictures from our first week there.

Nash loves his Aunties

Micah Mae is starting Middle School this year and made the school's 

cheer leading team.  This week she went to cheer camp with her school.

Doesn't she look so cute in her cheer outfit.

 Nash loves watching Micah cheer.

Nash played outside as much as he could because the weather

was so much cooler than home

One of my closest friends from Middle School came out for a vacation with her husband

Sarah Benko!

The time was just amazing and brought back so many memories and new ones

were made.

We went to Coronado on Saturday weekend.

Nash wanted to go in the ocean

Maddie wanted to rent one of these fun bikes.  I have to say it was fun

and Nash was not sure what to think about it:) But he was a trooper and rode for a good half hour.

When we got home later that day, we turned on the sprinkler for Mr. Nash.

Then there was some wrestling on the trampoline

The evening ended with some dinner and volleyball.

It was a great first week!!!

We're Back!

We had the most wonderful three weeks in San Diego.  Our whole little family got back yesterday and Nash walked into the house like he had never seen it before.  He said "WoooooW" to all of his toys, like they were all new.

I have so many pictures to post, but will leave with these few.  Nash loves having his Daddy/wrestling partner back.

Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

Havasu and the 4th

We have spent the last week in Havasu at the Family Lake House. 

Nash had so much fun with his Nana and Pappi, Aunts and Uncles and lots of cousins.

Below are only some of the moments that were captured.

Nash loved to run outside and chase the dogs and play with his cousins.

Nash so badly wanted to be like his older cousins

Playing in the house after the Lake

On the 4th, we were greeted with gray skies and rain, but we made the most of it.

The four older cousins

Taylor and Joella

Michael and Leyton

The whole family still made it out on the Lake.

Joella and Nash became great friends.

She encouraged him to come and play in the water.

They cheered on all the wake boarders.

Snuggles with Nana

Joella Mermaid Denove

Nash and Pappi taking a nap

The family avoiding the rain

Horseshoes in the rain

One of Nash's favorite things to do was to push his dump truck in the water.

Havasu was a great time.
