Primary Spot Light!

Nate was one of the kids that they did the spot light on in Primary this Sunday. It was so cute to hear what he told the teacher for his answers. I thought I would share them with you all. A little insight to Nate:

My name is Nathaniel (Nate) Deming.

My favorite dinner is Tomatoes, hotdogs, and chicken noodle soup.
On Saturdays I like to Play with my trains.
My least favorite colot is Yellow.
My faborite wild animal is a Giraffe (the teacher told me after that he said a Cat at first untill she told him they aren't wild).
My favorite part of Primary is Singing time.
My faborite thing to do with my family is going to church with Grandma and Grandpa Smart.
I love my family because they love me.
If I could live anywhere in the world I would live by Grandma Deming.

It was so cool to see a little of what is in my sons head. He is such a cute boy, and I love him so much.

Miley is so cute at dinner time. She love to lay at our feet.

Here is a small clip of what she does.

This is Nate and Miley playing. Nate is sharing

his special blanket with his sister.

He's a good brother.

Helping hands!

It was so great having mom out for the rest of the week. The kids had so much fun and so did Jared and I. I felt bad for mom because Nate had her sitting on the floor almost the whole time she was here, building towers, car washes, parking garages, and what ever else he had it in is mind for them to build. As soon as she would get back up on the couch to rest for a minute he would say, "Grandma don't you want to build with me," or "Grandma I need your help to build a blablabla." He sure did have such a great time with you ma.

Tuesday night Jared and I got out and went and watched Get Smart. It was so funny and nice to be out with my hubby on a date. I love dating him.

Thursday Mom, the kids, and I went to the Dennis the Menace Park in Monterey. I was so glad that mom was there with me. I don't know how I would have kept track of Nate and taken care of Miley. This park is so big and there are so many kids that if you take your eye off of Nate for just a second he is lost in the sea of kids and playground toys and tunnels.Mom took the first shift of following Nate.And the she watched Miley while I ran around with him.
Nate thought I was chasing him so he kept busy moving from one thing to the next.

Miley had fun too, I think.

Then right before we left Mom and Nate played on the real train they have. Anything that involves a trains = heaven to Nate. He could have played on it all day if we would have let him.

He kept saying, "All aboard," and "I need to calibrate this or that."

He is so cute. We got shakes and fries on the way home from McDonald's.

Here is a picture Nate took of us getting ready to go to the Aquarium on Friday. Once again I was grateful I had her there with us. We took turns watching the kids :).

Nate and Miley, doesn't she look thrilled.

They also have a new area called the splash zone, where the kids get to interact with ocean currents and other fun things.Mom and Nate in the giant shell.

Once we got home on Friday from Monterey we went to the movies and watched Wall-e. It is the cutest movie and has to be one of our favorites. If you haven't gone to see it you need to. Nate loved it. His favorite character is Mo.

Jared and the kids.

Saturday we had to say goodbye to mom, even though we didn't want to. We took her to the airport reluctantly and said goodbye. I guess Dad and the kids back home needed her too.

We went to Famous Dave's on the way home to eat our sorrow away. Nate took this picture. He has really been into taking the camera and wanting to take pictures. He did pretty good. Thanks again mom for coming, for all your help, and kindness. We love you and miss you.

The other fun we had with Mom, Dad, and Sydney

Miley and Sydney
We had a heat wave, which is nice because I love hotter summers, but bad because we have no AC. That's right, none of the apt, and most homes out here don't have ac because we don't need it, most of the time. Miley was getting fussy so the girls hung outside to try and cool down the first evening they got here. (Friday)

While the boys played the Wii.

Sydney, Mom, and Nate.

Saturday morning we went to our favorite breakfast joint to eat. It was dads first time eating here, First Awakenings.

We also enjoyed the Farmers Market that is set up just outside the restaurant.

The Boys.

Later after we went to a movie, Kung Fu Panda (Miley did ok in it, everyone else really liked it), we headed for the beach right on Monterey Bay. It was such perfect weather for the beach, nice and hot. The frigged water actually felt so good to wad in.

This was one of the first times Nate actually played in the water some of the time instead of just playing in the sand.

Hanging out.

Cheese!!!

We had a great time at the beach, and no one got burned thank goodness. We were so grateful for the wonderful weather and the fun with everyone. Nate had a blast. Dad and Sydney had to leave on Monday but Mom got to stay for the week. I'll post more on that later. Thanks again, you guys are the best.
