Video of the New Ride

We got Benjamin and Nathan a new ride. We’ve only taken it out once so far, but they both seemed to like it.

What a Difference

What a Difference

Last night we played a make-up game of t-ball because the first game of the season was rained out. There were only a few kids there, so we played four on three. Nathan loved it, and he did so good, too. It was like t-ball finally clicked for him.

Today was a normal game, and he did great in the field, too. He chased down the ball and threw it to first base. He’s doing really well.

Here’s a video of him hitting and running.

Sparklers!

I wanted to make sure we had some fun on 4th of July this year, so I went to the fireworks store (yes, there is an actual store) and bought some sparklers.

It took Nathan some time to get the idea that it wouldn’t burn him, and after a while, he wanted to hold one, too. So, we took some video of us playing with the sparklers.

A Moment I’ll Never Forget

A Moment I’ll Never Forget

As a Dad, there are lots of things that Nathan does that I hope to remember forever. Then there are some things that I know I’ll never forget. One of those things happened last Saturday morning, and it was better than any Father’s Day gift I could have gotten.

Friday night, I flew to Miami after 12 days out of the country. Saturday morning, I arrived just in time for the beginning of Nathan’s first t-ball practice. I walked up to the field from the car, and our eyes met. He came running around the corner and across the bridge that leads to the field. When he got to me, I could see him holding back tears. He was so happy to see me, and it felt so good to hug my little boy.

I’ll never forget his little face in that moment. I hope that he’s always that happy to see me after I’ve been away for awhile. Regardless of how great the trip is, the best part about going on any trip is coming home and seeing my family again.

VIDEO: A New Bike

For his birthday, we got Nathan a tricycle. So, we went up to the seminary and he rode it around the basketball court. Here’s a short video of it.
