Bubbles and Daffodils

My parent's have the most beautiful row of daffodils in their yard. Daffodils have been one of my favorite flowers since I was a child. Yellow is one of my favorite colors and daffodils just seem so bright and happy. Anyway, I thought I could get some cute pictures of Nate with them. He loved looking at them and especially loved picking off the buds that hadn't bloomed yet (sorry Mom).



Darren and I realized that we had never blown bubbles with Nate (shame on us, right?). We bought an inexpensive bubble blower (I'm not sure exactly what to call it, but aren't those the best things ever, much better than dip and blow). Nate loved it! He had so much fun chasing the bubbles and trying to catch them. Some of the sweetest pictures I got are of him with his hands in the air trying to catch the bubbles. If you notice in one of the pictures he is holding a stick. One day he and Darren were outside cleaning up the yard and picking up sticks. Now any time we are outside and he sees a stick he thinks he's supposed to pick it up.



Every time we go into our garage Nate goes straight for the rake. He loves to drag it around the yard. It's obviously a little big for him, so my mom bought him this kid's rake for Valentine's Day. Thanks Nan!

Look Mom, No Hands!

This was one of Nate's Christmas presents. He loves riding in it. Notice I didn't say driving it, because he doesn't drive he just rides. We have tried to explain to him about steering, but he would just rather ride. When Darren gets tired of keeping him on the straight and narrow he will find an open area and turn the wheel and Nate will just go round and round in circles. It's pretty hilarious.

Nate's First Tractor Ride

Nate rode with Darren to get hay for the cows this afternoon. He had so much fun and actually rode the entire time (I was surprised he would sit still long enough to go across the pasture twice for two rolls of hay). We are lovin' this warm weather!
