Updates Coming Soon!

.....I hope!! Please check back in soon! Oh yeah, enjoy the music! A friend of mine has an awesome blog and she taught me how to add some flair!

Facebook

OK, while I still love to blog, I'm finding it more difficult to find the time to update photos and write. I have been sneaking around on facebook instead of on my blog...which is fun and fast! 

We've been so busy here with Halloween, parties, school, friends, and everything else that seems to keep us running! Here are some pics from recent weeks.

We're still here!

Life has been so crazy that I really don't get much time to spend on the computer to update the blog! I'll try to put up some photos this week. In the meantime here's what's been going on:

Heath and I went to see Metallica on Tuesday! It was really fun, even though I only knew a couple of the songs. It was fun to scream and dance together again. Oh, wait a minute. We've never actually done that before. Well - we had fun together so we're going to start hitting the concert circuit, I think!
Ryan is continuing to do well in school. We all love his teacher, Mrs. Haight. We got the flu vaccine this week and Ryan is suffering some pretty nasty side effects He is currently upstairs in our bed trying to keep down his fever, which spiked over 104 again today. I am praying that this is short lived and that he doesn't have a repeat pf this past February's illness.
Will is a livewire! He pushes the limits and tests us everyday. Somedays he wins. :) He is very clever and just loves to have a good time. He makes up silly words and songs to try to make us laugh and it usually works.
AJ has learned to wave and clap this week. He has been practicing all day. It is so cute and he is so proud of himself. He is on the edge of crawling, but has figured out quite accidentally that he can bounce around on his bottom and locomote himself wherever he wants to go. I've never seen a baby bounce before as a means of transportation, but it works for him. I'll have to post a video.
Lastly, Izzy. Poor Izzy. I had her shaved again today and she looks, well, ridiculous. BUT, I haven't had to shave and vacuum the furniture today, which makes life better for all of us!
Stay tuned for photos.
Love,
Nat

Busy September!

Over the past month we have been to San Diego twice, where we spent time on the beach, downtown, at Legoland, and more time on the beach. It was so fun and relaxing....which is great because life at the Wimberley house is anything but relaxing. Ryan is fully immersed in kindergarten. He loves it and feels special because he gets to spend half of his day in a first grade classroom where he sits by himself and works on reading..alone...because he is actually reading at a fifth grade level (so I'm not quite sure why they put him in a first grade program). Anyway, enough bragging! :) , we love his school and his teachers. Both Ryan and Will are enrolled in classes at the Little Gym and they cannot get enough of it. They're both doing great with sports skills, balance, and even a little bit of tumbling! AJ is growing too fast for me and will hit the 7 month mark next week. He is not quite crawling yet, but is trying so hard.  He loves to be near his brothers and laughs hysterically whenever they laugh, even though I'm sure he has no idea what's so funny! Heath took the big boys camping for a weekend so that I could prepare the house for a baby shower. It was nice to spend some alone time with my little guy. We're still in limbo about the decision to buy here in Phoenix. Our landlords have agreed to put in a lawn for us if we sign on for an extended lease. We may just do it since this market is continuing to tank AND because the thought of moving again this fall is not appealing. Tonight we're off to see Playhouse Disney Live on tour. Heath and I will be going to see Metallica in a couple of weeks, then it's off to Flagstaff, the polar express, and maybe even a trip to CA after the holidays! Whew...now that I feel semi- caught up, I'm off to make dinner. Sorry for the lack of phone calls. Maybe one of these days I'll have a few spare minutes with no dirty diapers or empty juice cups!

Grandpa's Birthday

Yesterday was my dad's birthday - today is Heath's dad's birthday! Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Happy Birthday Papa!!

My Dad is 66 years young today! Happy Birthday, wish we were there to celebrate with you. We love you. Hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmmm hmmmmmmmmm. 

Long time, no blog!

Will petting "Punani", a Navy mine seeking dolphin
Watching the dolphin trainers - this was such a cool, up close experience! Way better view than Sea World
The Wimberleys at Cabrillo National Monument. Is everyone actually looking at the camera and smiling?? NO WAY!
My Baby Love!
Sitting; not so sure about this Elmo guy, though
Will's #1 Fashion must-have is this rain boot, just one is all it takes. It goes with everything. Even in the desert where there actually is no rain!

Wow! It's been a while since my last posting. Life is hectic, but great, around here. We've just returned from a visit to gorgeous San Diego with Heath's squadron. The weather was fantastic; we even needed sweatshirts for a beach party on Saturday night. Naturally, being a holiday, the boys got sick and we had to come home a day early. Oh well, we'll try again next week when we get to go back!
