Soccer Fun

Soccer season has come to an end. It was a lot of fun. Shane and Nathan both learned a lot about playing and had a lot of fun. Monday night was his last game and then a team pizza party afterwards.

Lincoln Log Days

Shane put up a different picture from his phone on Facebook this week but here's the first of our Lincoln Log builds. Nathan really gets into something and plays with it for a while then he will move on to something else and come back to it later. Several days this week he and I built things together with his Lincoln Logs. Sometimes it's fun to be a kid and do things like this again. Lincoln Logs has also been the first (of many things I'm sure) that he plays with and we have to keep away from Noah because he works hard building it and wants to play with it for a while but Noah just wants to smash it.

The Backyard Disc Golf Course

It seems that every day Nathan wants to go outside and throw Frisbees. He is slowly but surly starting to call them “discs” instead of the name brand “Frisbee.” But for some reason he thinks that only some of them are discs and some of them are Frisbees so you get statements like, “I’m going to take the blue disc one.”

Anyway, we have made a semi-permanent course in our back yard. It is pretty tough for Nathan, but he normally makes it in about 16 shots a round. As you can see we have added numbers and tee boxes this week.

 

Check out his form. This is the “step throw” technique that we are working on this week.

Park with the Boys

This afternoon the boys went out to the park. As always these days we started with some disc throwing, but quickly moved towards just playing on the playground. I struggled to get a good picture of Noah, but he refused to stay still long enough. For a kid who can’t walk this guy really moves. When we were heading to the car Nathan wanted to push Noah, and for some reason decide to go off along the path. Nathan said that they were “going on vacation.” I have no clue where he got that from, but it was cute. Of course I think everything he does is cute.

Metal Mater

Really, there are no words to describe this.

Indian Summer 2010

There's not a whole lot of entertainment places in Eufaula so when the annual "festival" - as Nathan calls it - comes around we always go spend a few dollars on great, greasy and sugary food and play some games. Noah was at home napping with Daddy so we had a fun Mommy and Nathan day out.
