Nathan & Fiona, Kaisa & Everett – Family Blog

Sometimes when I have had a stressful day, Nathan offers to help me out by making dinner.  It’s always an adventure!  We never know what time we will be eating or what will end up on the table!  Nathan really enjoys experimenting with new recipes (maybe my cooking is boring him?) and it almost always turns out delicious!

I love watching Nathan and Kaisa together in the kitchen.  She loves helping him and he always finds something for her to do.  A couple weeks ago I snapped these pictures of “dinner by dad.”  Enjoy!

Gotta have the aprons!

Kaisa loves helping her daddy!

"Taste-testing" the bacon.

The finished product! Spaghetti with egg and bacon. Suprisingly, good!

This is SO late, but I thought I’d post a few pics of Everett’s birthday party.  We kept it low-key with just family.  I didn’t really want all the stress that came along with Kaisa’s first birthday party bash!  We had such a fun time and Everett had a lot of fun!

Ready for a party!

Opening presents! Here's a Zoobie from grandma Judd.

Here's the cake!

We tried to het him to blow it out...this is what we got. :)

Let's try this cake thing!

Doesn't taste as good if it doesn't get everywhere!

Frosting everywhere!

The kids and I all got haircuts last week.  This was Everett’s first haircut, but I forgot my camera so I took pictures with my phone.  Sorry for the poor quality!  He actually did really well!

A few weeks ago, on a Saturday afternoon, we took the kids out to play in the snow.  Everett was still getting the hang of walking and didn’t want to walk on the snow at all!  Kaisa had a blast throwing and eating snow.  Why do little kids like to eat snow?  I will never understand.  I didn’t have snow growing up, so this is all new to me. :)

Here are some pics!

Kaisa had just eaten a big handful of snow!

What IS this stuff!?

Kaisa and Kora. What a pair!

Loving the swing!

More swing fun!

The snow was PERFECT for making snowballs! Nathan rolled this one in just a few minutes!

Here are a couple of videos to watch too, if you are bored. :)
