Date Night & New Pool

Matt and I had a night on our own thanks to our awesome friends, Kyle & Jen and of course, Jamin!  This has been in the works for a long time but between our move, them traveling and life in general, it took awhile to make it happen!  They got back from a wedding/family vacation last week and watched Nathan the following Friday night.  We dropped Nathan off after Matt got off of work and he didn't seem to have a problem saying goodbye!  He actually pushed me away and cried when I went over to say goodbye and hug him...he thought I was going to take him away from all of Jamin's fun toys!  Nathan loves their house and all 3 of them...plus Malachi their dog!

Matt and I went out for Mexican to celebrate my birthday!

I LOVED this fried ice cream dessert that we shared. 

Love this man too.

We found a book that Mom Witt made for us in college while we were putting books on a bookshelf this week.  It has all sorts of questions about how you picture your life married in terms of home, finances, family etc.  Matt and I read through some of it this night and couldn't believe how accurate the responses STILL are!  It was also hilarious that I would write a book for each question and then we would flip to his response and laugh at his two-worder! :)

And because I was officially 25 weeks on this day, we snapped a pic of just me and our baby boy #2.  (The other pics I posted were just taken a day early.) 


We picked Nathan up on Saturday morning with the report that he did great.  He slept in Jamin's crib because Jamin is in a big boy bed now!  It worked out great and Jen said he went right to sleep for her. We are so incredibly grateful to Jen and Kyle for watching Nathan! He is crazy about those guys and it is SO nice having friends that we feel comfortable with leaving him with.  Sometimes it is harder to find that when your family is not in town.  When we came to pick him up Jamin was calling him "Nay".  It was so cute!  Hopefully Jen has some pictures of their escapades but I heard they ate Louie's pizza, played in the SAND BOX, took a bath and had a dance party on Kyle & Jen's bed! :)  Now what kid wouldn't like all of that fun? :)  Thanks, Kyle & Jen!!!!

We had a fun family day after picking Nathan up that began with a McDonald's breakfast...Nathan loves pancakes these days.   And of course we thought he was being SO cute because we had gone a night without seeing him! ha ha.  Then after his nap we showed him his new pool!


He loves it.


Pouring his Mama a nice refreshing drink!










Eating daddy's hamburger.






Cooling daddy off by dumping water on his feet!


Enough play, time for the men to work!  Replacing a sprinkler head.


Nathan and daddy both using their claws.


He is his daddy's little shadow!  Especially outside :)




This is hilarious.  We stripped him down when we brought him in since his shorts were all wet so he started running around talking on his phone!

And looking out the window because daddy was doing it.

We got him dressed to go out that night and I turned around and found him like this.

He's also snacking on a pretzel in there.

Of course, we needed to have some lemonade before going out.




These sweet new shoes are thanks to his Aunt Courtney!  She sent some Nikes out to him but unfortunately we had to return them because they didn't allow enough room for the thickness of his foot.  They were plenty long he just has some mass to the middle of his foot!  So we used the money for some new ones that fit him better...and Aunt Courtney approved of the style :)


Thanks, Aunt Courtney!  I love my new kicks!


And my handsome boys on Sunday.
