More Christmas

Nathan was having a pretty fun Christmas day I'd say.

Uncle Ryan showing Nathan something fun on the computer.

This was one of Scott's favorite gifts he gave this Christmas.  He was very excited to give this Utah Jazz shirt to Nathan.  If you know Nathan's dad Kevin, he is a HUGE Laker's fan.  The Jazz is not a team he cares for too much.  This was way to fun.  If you look close you can see Scott in the back round smiling.  Kevin took this in stride.  He is a very good sport. 

 We all had a good laugh about it.  

Nathan is sporting the hat Ryan hand knit him!

Nathan Cracking up-

Here Nathan is cracking up cause the funny line in the book was just said: "Now giddadda here!"

Becca, Nathan and Ryan January 2, 2009

This is one of Nathan's favorite books that Ryan is reading to him.  It's called "Charlie the Caterpillar".  There are a few pages that just crack him up and he laughs every time you read them.  He wants them read over and over too.

Here are the kids all together before Rachel, Kelly and Ryan go back to school.  They were having fun looking up some funny things on you tube.  Scott and I loved having everyone home.

A few random Christmas photos.............

This is another try at getting the good old christmas photo.  Nathan wanted to be running around.  Rebecca was cramping his style.

The Happy Couple

Let's Play Volleyball!

Here Nathan is holding the Wilson VB Ball.  He is happy while holding a ball.

This little bird came up super close to us while we were climbing the lifeguard tower.  I think he was hungry and thought we might have food with us.

Beach Volleyball Day!!!

We had 10 of us today at Knob Hill including Nathan.  

Two courts set up with lines.

This is one of the reasons to be there!

Nathan getting comfortable in the sand.  He sat and watched while I played 4 games today.  He had snacks, sand toys and balls to play with.  He did great.  It was really nice down there, except when we first got there the sand was freezing, so I put on my sand socks.

I tried to get a good photo of Nathan and I.  I must have really stunk after playing four doubles games today.  Only lost one game by 2 points.  Great day!

Sandi called to say Hello

I love chatting on the phone with family.  Call me sometime.

Still loving looking at the tree.

Who is this on the phone?  My Mom or Sandi?, hard to tell!

I can talk to you all about these ornaments Sandi.

Christmas Tree Wonder for Nathan

Nathan was so excited to see the tree today after his nap.

Can you see the joy at looking at these ornaments for the first time.

He laughed out loud when he saw the abominable snow monster with Rudolf.

Teasers of the Martin Family Christmas Photo

Here are couple photos in prep for the Martin's Christmas Photo.

It's not easy getting a good photo, when one of the subjects is in continual motion! 

 That was Nathan.
