Outside again...with the hose!

So yesterday Matt came home early again. I might have to go back into marketing to get him some patients! Just kidding :) Nathan and I have enjoyed it when he comes home though. Matt took Nathan on a walk to give me a break (because that's how awesome he is) and then I heard them in the back yard when they got back.

Matt was watering the grass. Winter watering is important here in Colorado because of how dry it is. Nathan was happy to help!

I found Nathan already soaked.

Aha. How Nathan got so wet in the first place!

This kid loves water.

I love how much fun he has.

Love him!

I think he was shivering here :)

It was so funny when he would shiver and then go back for more. Here's a video of the fun.

We decided to strip him down and dry him off. We had him inside for this but he insisted on going back out, so we figured we would let him since the sun was still out.

But he didn't want to sit for long, OR keep his towel on!

Fun Outside

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we have had some warm days recently, which has been SO nice! Nathan LOVES the outdoors and is sad every time we have to come back inside. I think this is the day after we got these chairs at Sam's. It's good we did...they have come in handy!

Nathan and I were hanging out in the backyard for awhile.

He's on the steps playing with my phone, but notice the pile of rocks by my chair. He was bringing me every treasure he found!

His stash.

Pushing his tool box.

Circling the chair.

That night daddy took Nathan for a bike ride down to Albertson's to pick up a prescription. Nathan really loved it and now tries to get in the trailer every time we are in the garage!

It was kind of getting darker faster than Matt expected. This was before the time change!

It looks darker in the picture than it really was, but it definitely got dark fast!

This week has gotten even warmer. Matt has had a few days where he didn't have any patients to see so he came home early. This was one of them. We decided to make the most of it and go on a bike ride in the daylight! It was the warmest day up until this point, so we were grateful it worked out so well! Nathan was all for it.

You can see it in the picture above this one too, but notice Nathan's water in Matt's bottle holder. Nathan saw me put one of ours there so Nathan thought his should go there!

We started biking and then decided to go all the way to one of our favorite parks...Cottonwood Creek Park! It's the one that is right by our old apartment.

They have a great playground here. Nathan's favorite way to go down the slide...backwards.

Daddy showing Nathan how it's done.

Nathan's not looking here, but when he did see daddy do it, he was cracking up. Anytime we jump or run or chase each other or do a somersault, or do anything really fast etc, he laughs hysterically.

Swinging!

Daddy whispered to him to give mommy a kiss.

I, of course, welcomed it!

After the ride. Matt usually takes Nathan to go get the mail if he hasn't already picked it up. It's just across the street, however, I just realized that I've never gotten it myself!

You also can see that our neighbors just painted their house.

Pulling the car in. I probably shouldn't have a picture of this.

Every time Nathan sees this vehicle he points at it because he wants to get in it.

Tuesday was nice as well. We had small group over for burgers...except for Kyle & Jen, Jen & Jamin were fighting the stomach flu :( Not fun. Nathan running around while we get the food ready.
