"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

1st Friend Birthday Party

Nathan got invited to his first friend birthday party. Tayven and Nathan are nursery buds. Whenever I say something like "You get to go to nursery today," Nathan says something like "And play with Tayven?" 

It was a pirate party. So they went on a treasure hunt around the house. 

The treasure chest had candy, eye patches, earrings, and necklaces for the kids.

Then they played "Stick the eye patch on the pirate." They were stickers with numbers on them.


Their prize for playing was a party blower. It took Nathan a little bit to figure it out. He kept trying to make noise with it like a kazoo. But eventually he got it and played with it a bunch.



Giving Tayven his birthday present.

Eating birthday cake. The best part! Even mom got some... :)

We ask him what a pirate says and he says "Rarrrrr!" Then we say "No, Rrrrrrrr!" and he says "Oh yeah, Rrrrrrr!"
