My Nash Man
Alright, here are some fun things about Nash!
Nash Stats:
*Even though his hair is totally white - he doesn't sunburn all that easily!
*He loves trucks, guns, legos, and anything boyish!
*He LOVES to dig in the dirt...or mud...or well, anything!
*He asks me several times a day "Mom? Can I hug on your leg for a minute?"
*He has 2 Webkinz and is pretty good at playing with them online with a little bit of help.
*He got a Spiderman bike for his birthday that he LOVES and I think he'll have the training wheels off before his sister takes hers off!
*He likes watching Hannah Montana with his sister.
*He is a good sport & plays Barbies & Polly Pockets with his sister.
*He likes to help me water the lawn & my flowers.
*His favorite thing to do in Grandma Terri's swimming pool is jump off the ladder yelling "Cannon Ball!" and splashing right into the middle of the pool.
*He loves any kind of berry - just like his brother and his sister.
*He LOVES cheese!
*His favorite kind of ice cream is "white" (aka vanilla).
*He LOVES his preschool teacher, Teacher Barbara, and can't wait to go back to school.
*He has a stuffed animal, named Tedd, that I got at Build a Bear when I was pregnant with Sam that he takes most anywhere.
*His favorite color is black & green (just like mom!).
*He loves making his little brother laugh.
*He wants to be just like his dad - sometimes a little too much!
*His favorite movies are Transformers & Star Wars.
*He likes watching SpongeBob.
*He climbs on EVERYTHING!
*He likes looking for worms in the mud with his sister.
*He likes doing puzzles with his Grandma Terri.
*He LOVES going on the tube behind Grandpa Scott's boat - even after Grandpa thows him off during a wild ride!
*He enjoys taunting his sister a little too much.
*He has recently started telling us "Call me Buba!".
*We've nicknamed him Smash - betcha can't guess why!
*He likes decorating for the holidays as much as his mom & sister.
*He likes being crazy with his Uncle Zack.
*After we go camping he has a habit of peeing on trees (no matter where we are) for about a week!!
*He loves to tease other people.
*He can't wait to start loosing his own teeth (it about kills him to watch his sister wiggle hers & not be able to do it too).
*He has beautiful blue eyes, just like his brother & his sister.
And last but not least: He's a BIG tender heart. I can't believe how sensitive he is & how easily his feelings can be hurt. He's a lover not a fighter, that's for sure!

Samantha Stats
Since I told myself I'd post some fun stuff about the other 2 kids, I decided I'd better do one now while I have a minute!
Samantha Stats:
*She is 6 1/2 years old now! Holy cow where did that time go??
*She hast lost 4 teeth (3 on bottom & 2 on top).
*She has 2 loose teeth (1 on top & 1 on bottom) so I'm pretty sure that corn on the cob is out this year!
*When we went to the dentist a month or so ago, they did x-rays & we learned that one of her teeth doesn't have a permanent tooth!
*She loves playing Barbies, Polly Pockets, anything to do with her dolls (like house) and bossing Nash around.
*She is a good little mom to Caleb (she can even pick him up & carry him around!)
*She likes to pretend to hurt herself so Caleb will laugh uncontrollably at her.
*She does NOT like chocolate or cheese (how is this kid mine??)
*She has been in dance class since she was 3 years old. She takes from LaShars & gets lessons in tap, ballet & tumbling.
*Her favorite movie (this is a new one) is Jumunji.
*Her best friend in Jolie who shares a backyard with us. In fact, they'd be connected at the hip & move in together if the parents would let them.
*She still has training wheels on her bike (we tried taking them off, but she wouldn't get on and ride unless Travis was holding onto her bike!).
*She LOVES going to swim - doesn't matter where or when.
*She likes Grandma Kris' big Jetski but not the little one & is terrified of the tube (but we put her on it like good parents anyway! ;) )
*She wears a size 7 now! Except in pants - she's still a 6x.
*She likes to wear dresses but isn't too thrilled about shorts. She will wear capri's. She will not wear turtleneck shirts or tank tops.
*Her favorite colors are blue, pink, and purple.
*She will be in 1st grade this year. Proud mother moment - she reads 50 cwpm (correct words per minute) and 2nd grade level reading is 60 cwpm.
*She likes playing Webkinz on the computer & does pretty good all by herself.
*She LOVES Hannah Montana & iCarly.
*She has a huge vocabulary & uses words like beautiful instead of pretty and fabulous instead of great (I know where she gets that from!).
*She has had 3 sets of tubes. Thanks to this little endevour she hates getting water in her ears & refuses to let anyone other than herself clean out her ears.
*She had her adenoids taken out when she was 2 but still has her tonsils.
*She snored when she was a baby! It was SO cute!
*She is a big time Daddy's girl...and hence, the Princess by default.
*She's really tall - a lot of people ask if she's in second grade simply because of her height. Her Grandma Kris is 5 ft 11 in so I think she got that gene!
*She likes fishing & has asked her dad repeatedly to take her ice fishing (he isn't thrilled about that idea).
*She LOVES any kind of berry & will eat them until she gives herself a bellyache.
*She only likes roasted marshmallows & not the rest of the S'more (seriously!!)
*She asks me almost daily when she can have a sister. (No, I haven't told her when!)
*She just got a new Hannah Montana watch so we are learning to tell time (this way mom doesn't have to go find her at Jolie's to tell her to come home!).
*She talks about my Grandma Lea that passed away 3 months before she was even born.
And last but not least:
She has got these killer beautiful blue eyes that will pierce through your soul & can read your deepest thoughts! She is so caring of others and hates to see anyone sad.

1 year well check
I can't believe my baby is already a year old! (How many times have I said that in the last week??)
I took Caleb in to see Dr. Clarke today. When I say Caleb is "My Little Man," I'm not joking - he's only in the 25% for height, weight & head size! If you had asked me a year ago if I thought that was going to happen I'd have told you NO WAY! I was positive he was going to be my biggest baby yet! Goes to show why you shouldn't count your eggs before they hatch doesn't it!
Some stats:
*Caleb is 19 lbs 5 oz - the other 2 were over 20 @ 9 months!
*He has 5 teeth now (3 on top & 2 on bottom & he got the top 3 all in 1 week!!)
*He still doesn't walk, although, he is taking one or two steps without holding onto *anything in the last few days.
*He is 28 inches long.
*He can still fit into a size 6 months in clothes (depending on what it is).
*A size 3 shoe (they're tiny - go look at them!) is too BIG.
*I just turned his carseat forward today & he loved it! He waved bye bye to the house when we backed out of the garage!
*He LOVES chocolate, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, apples, ice cream, Cheerios, bananas, & peas (especially if he gets to throw the pod at you).
*He has decided to boycott baby food in the last week & will spit it back at you with a vengence.
*He's starting to get the hang of his sippy cup although, he does enjoy throwing that back at you too!
*He's drinking regular "moo juice" (milk) but likes it a little bit warm.
*He LOVES Grandma Terri's pool & the bathtub & throws a raging fit when he's taken out & made to wears clothing again.
*He thinks it's HILARIOUS when his brother &/or sister pretend to get hurt (fake fall, hit themselves, etc.).
*He likes to chase Charlotte & the poor kitten, Alice (SO cute), at daycare.
*He LOVES monkeys.
*He has this tiny, soft, yellow lamb he got when he was born that he must have to go to sleep & likes to drag just about everywhere that he loves to chew on because he completely weened himself off his binki about a month ago. (We call it "Mimi.")
*He likes to stick his tongue out & wiggle it back and forth at you.
*He says "Dada" but refuses to say "Mama!"
And last but not least:
He has got the most contagious laugh & smile that will absolutely melt your heart in an instant!
I keep telling myself I need to post some fun stuff about the other two kids but this post has gotten long enough so I will do that another time!
