Nate's Birthday!

We celebrated Nate's 26th birthday last Tuesday. He wanted to have a Transformers birthday party so after a wonderful dinner at Outback Steakhouse, we had cake and ice cream with my parents. I had spent the afternoon making Nate a cake that looked like Optimus Prime (the main guy from Transformers)- you'll have to let me know if I succeeded!

Father's Day

Nate celebrated his first Father's Day. His one request? A big cookie and a car vaccuum (I guess that's two requests). At church he recieved a decorated tie from the primary kids- I wish I had taken a picture of it, it was priceless! Here are some more pictures...


All of Nate's presents


Nate loved his vaccuum so much, he took a nap with it!

Trip to Chicago!

Our friends, the Pulsiphers, had tickets to see Wicked but ended up not being able to use them so they gave them to Nate and I... time for a trip downtown!! It was a beautiful day and we went to the show, them to Pizzeria Due, and then we walked around Millenium Park.

Lincoln's first trip to a REAL Chicago pizzeria...yummy!
