We went ice skating in downtown Saint Paul.

This picture was taken BEFORE the Vikings blew it in the play off game. Nathan did not look like this AFTER their loss!

This is Nathans halloween costume. He did not do much trick or treating - just tried to scare people as they came to the door.

Nathan played soccer for his school team this fall.

We also made it up to Washington this summer. Nathan and Isaiah built a fort on the beach.

Nathan chose to spend his birthday at Mall of America. We posed for a picture.

Over the summer we traveled to the Northwest. Nathan played in a tennis tournament in Oregon and Grandma and Grandpa Parsons and Trevor were there too.

April 2009 we traveled to Sedona for a spring vacation with family.

There is an alien "museum". Nathan, Isaiah and Julia were intrigued.

We got to do some mountain biking - it was beautiful.

Nathan always enjoys summer. His new toy this last summer was the Ripstick. Here he is sporting his favorite look - the minnesota sock line tan.
