Gingerbread house

Dear Grandma Becki,

We made a gingerbread house!  And we had fun.  Mommy and Daddy went on a trip to Mexico and they saw dolphins and they got us a shirt for Nathan and Ty Guy.  I'm going to make a gingerbread house all by myself when I get as big as Daddy or even taller than Daddy.  Or maybe I'll be the same size as Ryan or maybe as Daddy.  Tonight we are going to put our Christmas tree up!  We're making Christmas cookies today.  I am excited for Christmas.  I want a candy cane, a real candy cane that we can eat from Santa Claus.  I want my very own computer and my very own chopstick and my very own house and my very own movie.  I want my very own Christmas tree and my very own stocking.  That's what I want too.  I want to live with Grandma Becki forever.  I love Grandma Becki all around the whole world.  All the way to Mars, all the way to San Diego and Costa Rica and all the way home from those and all the way up to the sun and the moon and the sky.  That's how much I love her.  I want you to get all better forever and we'll give you a Christmas present when it's Christmas.  Love you Grandma Becki,  Bye!  I love you Grandma Becki.  Love you Grandma Becki!

Happy Christmas Surprise!!

The other night, TA DA, I looked out my window and look what I saw!! (Looks just like me, huh!)


My little neighbor boys put this right outside my window so every night when I can't even get up out of my bed I can look out my window and see a happy brightly lit angel saying hello.

These are my neighbors: Timmy, Taylor, Jayden and their Daddy Chris.


And this is me poking my head out my window saying hello. I sure wish I could poke out my window and see you and Ty waving hello. Or even better, how much fun it would be to look out my window and see a great big snowman that you made just for me to see. A snowman would be a great friend for my angel (hint...hint).


I sure do miss my boys. You keep on praying for me.

Love you clear to Pluto!

Moab

Dear Grandma Becki,

I like reading your letters. They make me happy and sad. They make me happy because I like to see Grandma Becki in the pictures. They make me sad just cause Grandma Becki misses me and I miss Grandma Becki. Grandma Becki is all bald! She looks silly. We'll make you a present before Christmas and we'll give it to you before Christmas. Cause you're very sick so we'll make you a Christmas present today and we'll give it to you today. I want to go to your house and talk to you through the window.

We went to Moab and we had fun and I rode all the way to the end of slickrock and all the way back. I went to Moab and played with Barrett and Blythe and Brynne. And those are my cousins who live in Park City but it's not very far. And there's a freeway we have to go on but it's not very far. I went bike riding with Daddy and Granddad and I rode on Daddy's motorcycle and my cousins. I went for a drive with Daddy and his truck got all muddy and it snowed there. That's how it happened.

Ty Guy stands up by himself sometimes. I love him so much and Ty Guy likes me so much. And that's what happens.

I love you all the way to Mars and San Diego and the moon and the sun and all the way around the world and all the way to Mars again and all the way to Mars again and all the way up to the sky. That's how much. That's how much I love Grandma Becki. One hundred!

Love, Nathan (and Ty Guy)

Thanksgiving with masks!

Thanksgiving was so silly at my house! Everyone had to wear masks to dinner and then we took turns eating. First I would take my mask off and take a few bites, and then I would put my mask back on and everyone else would take their masks off and eat. Isn't that silly!! Then we played Phase 10. You would have been a great help to Grandpa - he lost big time.
I love you all the way to Mars!!!! Grandma Becki

The Harvest

This cool machine is what is collecting my stem cells from my blood. It's called harvesting. See the red bag on the far right. There are over 15,000,000 stem cells in there! As soon as we were done, they took my stem cells and froze them so cold it would make your nose fall off. Now my body has to do more drugs to kills the cancer disease and then they will thaw my stem cells and put them back. That will happen the week before Christmas. Pretty amazing Christmas present huh!?

To get all these special cells, the machine had to suck them out of my bones, so now my bones are very sore. If I were a bone I wouldn't be too happy about someone sucking my insides out either!!

In this picture I still have some hair, but not anymore! Now I am bald as your Uncle Peter, except he's a man and looks good bald. I look funny, cause girls usually have some hair! There are still some little hairs in the way of spiderman stickers, but I'll bet by Christmas we can put the stickers on.

Picture for Grandma

Dear Grandma Becki,

I love you two hundred all the way up to the whole world!  Up to the airplanes!  Up to the jet planes!  Up to the computer!  I drawed this picture all night long to you.  It is a picture of a monster ponster!  I'm going to Moab for two hundred days.  We're going to play, play, play all day and go in the Jeep and on hikes and ride bikes and rock dinosaur bones.  Because they stepped in the mud, dinosaurs.  I miss Grandma Becki and I'll give stickers to you all night long and put stickers on your head.  Yesterday I had a Thanksgiving party at school.  We ate turkey and mashed potatoes and corn and everything.  All the stuff that they brought there.  I just ate the corn because I didn't like the mashed potatoes or anything else.  I love you, Grandma Becki!  I want to see you again forever ever! 

Love, Nathan
