"Do you want to hold my ax?"

This picture is a little dark, but it's of a fire fighter helping Thomas hold his giant ax!! For a short time Thomas took a break from cowboys and was obsessed with being a fireman. So, one day I was really brave and went and knocked on the door of the fire station. The fire fighters were so happy to have "visitors". They took turns showing us around and letting Thomas try on their gear and sit in the truck. To say that Thomas was in his glory would be an understatement. He took everything so serious, like he was one of the guys.

Halloween

Nathan was a little pumpkin for his first Halloween. Although, the costume didn't last long!
No surprise, Thomas was a cowboy!

We went to so many fun activities around Halloween that on the 31st we just stayed home and let Thomas hand out candy to trick or treaters. I love this picture. Thomas' best friend here in Arizona is Jack. They are the best of buds. I thought it was perfect that Jack was Buzz lightyear for Halloween. We didn't even plan it and the two of them looked so cute together as Buzz and Woody!

"Nater Bug"

Nate is the happiest baby! He is such a joy. Nate smiles at everyone and is so easy to laugh. I often think that I don't know what I would do, if he wasn't such a good baby. We love our "Nater Bug!"

"I want to be a cowboy!"

"I want to be a cowboy!" This is what Thomas says to me each morning as soon as he wakes up. He wears his boots and hat everywhere we go. I'm sure that he is fast becoming famous in Glendale for his attire!
