Nate and I decided to potty train Elmo too. Poor Elmo, he keeps getting stuffed into the toilet. It's so cute though... Nate even tries to put underwear on him.

Colorado!

Two birthday parties on Saturday, whew!....

Our next door neighbor, Brady, turned three. He's an action-packed little boy, just like Nate.

limbo

The bubble maker was a huge hit.

Will's party was all little boys! Wow, and some of them actually sat down for a few minutes!

Will had a very cool truck cake.

Nate and I on the Carmel Valley bike path. Thank goodness Dave pulls Nate because it's 65 lbs of extra weight.

He is liking it more and more each time we go.

Nate circled this train museum 4 times trying to get on. He remembers how much fun the train ride was a few weeks ago.

I don't think he wants to take a nap, do you? He threw everything from and around his bed over the babygate. Also, there are clothes from the drawer and toys.

Practicing for Easter
