This past Saturday we were able to drive down to the Columbus, Ohio Temple. Nate is in the Young Men and so we went down to do baptisms with the Youth. Nate went inside while I stayed outside with Coulson. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful temple. I was surprised how tiny it was compared to the temples back home in Idaho and Utah. Hopefully we will one day get a temple here in Kirtland, Ohio!!
When we went home to Idaho for Coulson's Birthday, Nate ran the 1/2 marathon with his brother Greg. It was Nate's first time running in a marathon. We were so proud of him!
Coulson and I got up early that morning and went and cheered them on in a couple locations!
Here we were at the half way point...
They were nice enough to stop and take a couple pictures with us. Coulson was so cute, he waited patiently and kept watching for Nate to ran by. He was so excited to see him!
Off again!
Here they come... almost to the finish line!
Nate was sweet enough to come get Coulson from me the last couple of yards and let him cross the finish line with him. I thought I got a picture, but I must have been too busy video tapping!
We had a really fun past weekend. Nate got us tickets to go to game 1 of the NBA play-offs between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics. (Our 2 favorite teams, given we have lived in both cities now!!) The ticket office messed up our tickets, so we were able to get some Benchwarmer Passes, which means we got to sit in the player's seats and watch them warm up until it was time to start. It was so awesome to be that close. Coulson loved it! He just kept saying, "Ball, Ball, Ball!!"
For Coulson's birthday, (which I will post about next) we got him a little Lebron James Jersey! He looked so cute it in!!
They had lots of little fun things to do and see outside before the game started...
The Cavalier Dancers...
Coulson was just dying to go out on the court and get a ball.
Then one of the players was so sweet to roll him a ball! He was so excited! Then we had to roll it back, darn it!
Looks like the excitement wore him out!! (See 2nd video below!!)
The video below is when they came out onto the Court. We got to high five them, which was pretty cool! Shaq is the second to last one and Lebron is the last one out!
This news clip was on the news the night of the game. Coulson made it on the news and didn't even know it, because he was fast asleep. They show a shot of him at 1 min 37 sec. So fun!!
P.S. Did I mention we made it on the Jumbo Tron (the big screen in middle of the arena) twice!!!
Nathan and Heidi were married March 6, 2007 in the Salt Lake Temple. Nathan graduated from BYU-Idaho in December 2008 in Corporate Finance and is now working for Avery Dennison. Heidi is loving being a Mom and enjoying every minute of the day with her 2 boys, Coulson and Romney.
