Drawing on Grandma's head

Grandma came to our house and we drawed on her head and showed her our sea shells.  Then she went back home.  It was so silly to color on her head.  It was really fun.  I used green, blue, orange, and brown.  It was even more fun than coloring on paper!  Grandma Becki is super duper cool.  I love her two hundred million!

Don't you just love the saggy diaper bum?  Okay, maybe  I should have changed his diaper by 10 am!

Rainbow carrots and sleepovers

Dear Grandma,

We love you! We hope you feel better. We hope you can feel better right now!  We planted green watermelons and rainbow carrots at James and Charmaine's house the day right before this.  We mixed carrot seeds with sand and then sprinkled rainbow carrots into the dirt.  We planted a pumpkin in a grapefruit. (The pumpkin seeds were from Emily)  It growed so big it could even touch the sky!  We planted it in Charmaine's garden. 

I went to Primary today for two hundred million hundred years.  We singed all day.  My favorite song is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  My favorite Primary song is "I am a Child of God".  We sang it today.  I want to have a sleep over at your house when you get better.  I want to play with you at the sleep over and eat strawberries and a sandwich and popcorn.  I love you two hundred million a hundred two hundred million a hundred.  That's a lot, right?  And two hundred million a hundred more.  That's a really lot.  That's how much I love her.

Love,

Nathan

We miss you, Grandma

Dear Grandma Becki,

We love you more than two hundred and nine.  I don't want you to be in the hospital like I did.  I hope you get better tomorrow morning.  I miss you and I love you a whole  bunch.  I found sea shells for  you in Puerto Rico for two hundred million hours.  They are cool and there's striped ones.  One in a bag for me and one in a bag for you.  I liked to go to the beach in Puerto Rico.  I liked swimming in the pool.  I want to go swimming in the pool in Moab with you right now.  I love you all the way to San Diego, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and Guatemala.  And back.

Love, 

Nathan

I love Grandma Becki's house!

Dear Grandma Becki,

We love Grandma Becki.  We want to play at her house all, all day.  And we can stay there forever.  Everywhere she goes we can go, and that's it!  We love Grandma Becki.  I went to your house and I played toys with you.  I liked playing golf tees and kitchen and eating strawberries.  I liked playing the ball game with Grandpa Kim.  I like playing at Grandma Becki's a whole bunch.  For two hundred days.  For ten years.

Love, Nathan

Becki- we've only been home from your house for a couple of hours, and Nathan just told me he wants to go back to your house "right now!"  So we decided to write you a little letter about how much fun he had at your house.  Thanks for playing with us, we had a lot of fun visiting you.  I hope you recover from all the craziness!

Love, Jess

Easter eggs

Grandma Becki's bunny egg

Dear Grandma Becki,

We love you so much.  You guess what we did today?  We dyed Easter eggs.  We love Grandma Becki a whole bunch.  We dyed one for you and Jake and Grandpa Kim and we're gonna get one for Mooly and Shellie and one for all my friends.  Your egg has a bunny on it.  You can keep it and eat it all up.  Ty was tired and he really did need to go down for a nap so that's what he did (while we dyed eggs).  We dyed sixteen eggs pretty colors.  All of them that I dyed are my favorites.  I love Easter!  It's in four days!  The Easter bunny's going to come and it's going to come to your house, too and you can go find the eggs at your house.

Love, Nathan

Fun in Moab

Dear Grandma Becki,

It's April Froo's Day! (April Fool's Day)  We had so much fun in Moab we even got to swim.  Just kidding!  I like to go to Moab with you.  I like going to the park for two hundred years!  I went on a bike ride with Grandpa Kim.  We fell.  I went on a bike ride with Mommy and Brookie and Ryan to a river and to the music park.  We played music.  I liked eating grapes and pancakes and sausage and sandwiches and ice cream.  I want to go to Moab tomorrow with you.  I love you more than two hundred and more than a million billion stillion jillion killion!

Love, Nathan

A snowman for Grandma Becki

Well, we never made you a snowman outside your window- the darn snow just wouldn't cooperate- but here is one you can look at anytime you want!

We love spring!

Dear Grandma Becki,

I love Grandma Becki more than two hundred.  I want to see Grandma Becki cause I love her so much.  I love her and I like playing outside in the sunshine with her.  I want to play at Grandma Becki's house sometime.  I want to play all day in the summer sunshine.  I want to jump, jump, jump all over the trampoline.  I like to play in the rocks and I like to swing on the swings.  My ear is feeling all better.  We're going to go see the dance lesson with Mooly.  I love Grandma Becki.  The end.

Love, Nathan

Planets and Dinosaurs

Dear Nathan,
Look how cool my planets are!! I named the great big one with the rings around it "Nathan". I love you all the way to Nathan!!!

Doesn't my room look festive with my dinosaur decorations and planets? Thank you so much for giving them to me.

I miss you SOOOOO much. We wanted to come and see you yesterday but Ty Guy was still sick. We hope that Ty gets better and we can come and see you real soon.

Love,

Grandma Becki (and Grandpa Kim)

Hi Grandma Becki!

Dear Grandma Becki,

I love Grandma Becki more than Mars but I don't know.  Lots more places but I don't know...San Diego, Guatemala...I don't know any more.  I miss you more than even farther than Mars.  I miss you.  I wanted to go to your house yesterday but we couldn't 'cause Ty's sick.  We went to Moab.  I want to go with  you there again.  To Moab.  I want to play for the whole day and for the whole night.  I want to swim in the pool with you for two years.  I hiked the whole way to Delicate Arch and the whole way back.  I love Grandma Becki.  

Love,

Nathan

Portraits of Ty

Nate and Brett were snowblowing the driveway this morning, and Ty was standing at the front window watching them.  I took some portraits of Ty in the natural light.  Here are some of the cutest ones:

A great big Ty smile

Ty with a ball- (his favorite word)

Another Ty smile

Watching Daddy and Nate

Classic Ty smirk!

A cow says "Moooo"

Hey look, my finger fits in here just perfect!

Classic Ty scowl

Happy Birthday, Grandma Becki!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA BECKI!!

We had so much fun going to Grandma Becki's birthday party.  Nathan was super excited because he got to go inside Grandma Becki's house!  We had fun visiting Grandma, playing cars with Grandpa Kim, eating yummy popcorn while watching Finding Nemo and having birthday cake!  What a great party!  The best part was just being able to be with Grandma Becki again.

Dear Grandma Becki,

I love you!  It was your birthday on Tuesday.  You opened your presents.  You didn't get very many.  I love Grandma Becki.  We went to your house and we went inside.  And we had cake and popcorn.  I had fun all the way up to the moon and the stars.  

Love,

nathan

"Blowing out" the candles on Grandma Becki's birthday cake

Grandma Becki came to visit!

We are SOOOOO happy that Grandma Becki can see us again! We had a great big surprise on Thursday when she and Shellie came to our house on the way home from the hospital! Nate and Tyler got big huge hugs from Grandma. Nathan was so excited to play with Grandma and show her his new kitchen. We can't wait to see her again soon!
