An evening treat...

After we got home from the Zoo, we walked up to the nearby DQ with Nate and Maverick for some ice cream! Both Nate and Maverick loved their chocolate treat! Nothing beats a DQ blizzard, especially when it is with family!

Nate's 1st trip to the Zoo!

We took Nate to the Zoo for the 1st time today! Grandma and Papa went too and we had so much fun together! Nate was in awe of the big elephants and loved looking at all of the animals. We actually got a Family Zoo Pass for the whole summer so I am sure we will become frequent friends of the zoo!

More pictures of Nate...

1st picture: Nate frequently falls asleep with his arms behind his head...too cute!

2nd and 3rd picture: Nate was talking on his cell phone. I am not sure who he was talking to, but he was sure telling them quite the story!

4th picture: Graham rolled over onto his back to get his belly rubbed so Nate felt the need to get on the floor and get on his back too! Too funny!

a few pictures of Nate...

I could not resist taking a couple of pictures of that cute face! He has the cutest laugh too...he cracks himself, AND us, up all of the time! The last two pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago when he was helping Papa fix his rocking horse. He loves helping and fixing things! "Nate the Builder...Can he fix it, YES he can!"

Hello....

So, I have realized since I am now addicted to Facebook (so my sweet hubby says!), I have been neglecting our blog! However, there is nothing really new to report, which can be a good thing! However, Jeremy and I did have our LAST foster care class last night! We are very proud that we made it all the way through the 10 week course. Now, we just have to go through the official licensing process! We are hoping to be licensed in a couple of months. For now we are continuing to enjoy Nate living with us. He has been so much fun. Having Nate has definitely rocked our world, but we would not have it any other way! Moments with him are precious and priceless. Jeremy ended up being late for work this morning because we were having too much fun watching Nate! He was playing ball and hide-n-seek with Maverick, and he was being quite the cuddle-bug with Uncle Jeremy. TOO cute! 

Blah, blah, blah....

So, last night I felt horrible. It just came on all of a sudden and I found myself incapacitated on the couch all evening. I was so grateful that Jeremy came home from work a little early and took care of Nate. All I gotta say is I am soooo very thankful for an amazing husband who is willing to hold my hair back as I am throwing up! Now, THAT'S L-O-V-E. Thankfully I feel a lot better this morning...not sure what was going on last night (and NO I am NOT pregnant! Don't get all excited moms!)

Newly painted rooms

This weekend I went to FL to paint a couple of rooms for FRANNIE'S. They were really fun rooms to paint...I painted a baby's room with the cutest theme EVER! It was from Pottery Barn and it was pink (for a girl of course!) and had cute little monkeys on the design. So, I gathered  a couple of ideas from the new mom and the design and painted what you see in the first couple of pictures! I even added bling...not sure if you can see that or not, but it added a lot to the mural! It was awesome because it sparkled! The other room I painted was a bathroom with a sea theme. It turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! It was actually the first room where I took someone with me to help. My brother went along and his help was greatly appreciated! It would have taken me a lot longer if he hadn't been with me!
