A fun picture

I had to post these adorable pictures of Nash and Micah.  We celebrated Micah's Birthday two weeks ago and Nash was so excited about it. He wanted to pick out Micah's Birthday Cake and help her blow out the candles. Nash truly loves his Aunties.

Disneyland

 Our Denove Grandparents

took the entire Denove Family to Disneyland the first week of September.

We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel.

It was amazing.

They had a great pool with several slides that Nash loved going down.

As night was nearing the lights were lit up and Nash loved swimming over them.

We stayed well over his bedtime and he thought it was so neat to swim when the sun went night night.

The next morning we got ready to head into the park.

My littles waiting to head down

Our stroller was full.

It was the hottest day of the year so far,

so we had a cooler, lots of drinks, changes of clothes, fans, diaper bags and food.

Denove Children (minus Sadie)

Nash 2, Leyton 4, Michael 7, Joella 6, and Taylor 4

Here is Miss Sadie in her outfit!

While everyone rode Dumbo, Pappi stayed with Sadie and kept her company and out of the sun.

 

Sadie chillin

Nash and Daddy waiting in line

Did I mention it was hot?

 Nash's first time on Dumbo!

 Sadie got to ride too

The one thing Nash really wanted to see was the Disney Junior show.

He had seen it on the Disney Channel was extremely excited to see it.

I got lots of videos, but when Sofia the first appeared he got very bashful.

Then really excited when Mickey made it snow!

 Nash's Favorite Character is Kachow!

However, he does not like to be up close and personal with him.

 However, Daddy did get him to smile

Mean while Sadie was just staying cool with her fan and toys in the stroller

 Nash and Daddy rode the tires

 Then at night they rode the tractors

I am so sad I did not get more pictures.

It was such a great time

I keep telling me to pull out the camera but when you are in it, it is so hard.

Til next time Disney!

Summer 2013 for Nash (really long post)

My Nash

This summer has been a big summer for you.

I feel like you grew up over the summer

and have become a true little boy and no longer my toddler.

The biggest thing this summer is you are a swimmer.
At the beginning of the summer, I could not get you to wear your swim vest.
Now I cannot get you out of the water or out of your swim vest.
You can swim anywhere in the pool or lake with out us around you.

You got to see your first Movie in a Movie Theatre.
Papa came up to take you to see Despicable Me 2.
You were over the moon excited about seeing it with Papa.
One of your highlights was drinking Papa's blue Icee.
You sat through the whole movie and laughed at all the funny parts.
My favorite part was watching your face light up when it came on the screen.

You have found a sweet tooth this summer.
A craving for ice cream
This is the first time you have asked for a desert
You still only like the fruit flavor ice cream and if there is strawberry that is your favorite

 *you do not like the chocolate so you ask people to eat it off for you

It has been a summer of clothes selections
My little man you have an opinion on what shirt and PJs you would like to wear
and this mama is not a fan of character stuff
but somehow we have ended up with a closet full.
Thankfully you go to school and can wear it there
and no one ever sees you at night (smile)
Regarding the PJs; you think it is funny if you mis match the tops and bottoms.
Oh well...it is a good way to become more independent

Lake Havasu has become one of your favorite places
Our first trip of the summer, I could not get you off the boat.
You just wanted to stay on the boat and play with your cars.
Now at the end of the summer, I cannot get you on the boat to leave.
You love to swim in the lake with your trucks,
drive the jet ski with Daddy,
and throw rocks with Pappi

 He loves riding auntie goog goog's dune buggy(golf cart).

Special Trips with Papa
You got to go on two special outings with Papa this summer
He took you to a train/tractor park
and then a museum where vehicles were retired

First Trip to UCLA
Maddie went to FCA camp at UCLA this summer
and we were invited to come for a visit.
We have been supporting FCA camp for a few years now
and it was fun to go see her and our dear friends

 Nash running with the Schroeder kids

Maddie playing volleyball

 

Nash and Daddy watching Maddie

 At the donors dinner

 

 

Visiting the baseball stadium

 What was Nash's favorite part of the stadium?
the field crews tractor

 Love for the Beach
Nash has been taken by the beach just like his Noni.

Last but not least:
When we moved from AZ we lost some great friends Arlie and Kayla
We played over at their house or they played at ours and it was sad when we left.
I prayed for a great neighborhood that the kids would have good friends.
God has answered our prayers with some great friends!
Heather and Tom and their kids Shelby and Cameron live up the street.
Every night this summer we have been outside riding bikes until it is dark
and then usually move into a house to continue to play
It has been wonderful!

I am sure I have forgotten a lot.
Like how this Summer's movie is Nemo and Noni took him to LegoLand Sea and he was searching for Nemo and the sharks the whole time.
Or he went to his first play and saw his cousin Joella perform as the sea horse.
Or how you have learned to share with your sister.
My Nash
you have grown
and I just want time to slow down.
