Nathan's Birthday Part 1

We decided to take Nathan in to school today so we had somewhat of a leisurely morning. The boys both woke up before 5. We figured there would be time for gift-opening, so we got ready and Nathan opened his 6 gifts from smallest to largest.

 He was very excited about Spirit (not the girl doll!) and actually took it to school for Show-N-Tell.

 The other big item that Nathan has been looking for was a cowboy hat. He's on his way to being one fabulous cowboy!

 He was so excited that he was twirling his right hand like he was doing a lasso. Yee haw!

 Mrs. Jackie joined us for breakfast and brought a little gift for Nathan. (Zachy liked it a LOT - a horse trailer on a truck.)

Happy birthday, Nathan!!! Six is starting off with a bang!

Two for Nathan

I think this is going to be a week of Nathan since we're celebrating his birthday. We start out today with a 100 year old Nathan as they celebrated the 100th day of school.

The last day to be 5! He kept asking what was going to happen now that there were no more numbers to change. Five has been good for him!

Crazy Brothers

Can you tell what Nathan's trying to do?

 Zachy says, "Ummm... Nope!"

Okay. Try again, Nathan!

Ha ha ha! This time Zachy let him kiss him.

This was some morning shenanigans.

Craft Night

Tonight was Center night for Nathan, so Zachy and I got to hang out together. We decided to make some crafts. I painted his foot to make fire trucks and his hand in a special Valentines pattern.

Zachy just had his 2 1/2 year check-up. In 6 months, he's gained 2 1/2 pounds and grown 3 inches! So, he's now in the 75th percentile for his height and weight. He's 32.5 pounds and 37.5 inches tall. Evidently he's been staying healthy and growing up a storm!

Singing Brothers

We've been watching a lot of YouTube videos -- mostly Moana and Let it Go. It's  been fun to see the boys sing along. Tonight they decided that they needed to watch while dinner was getting finished up. It's so cute to hear them sing.

Zachy typically says "More!" If it plays the next song and he doesn't like it, he says "No, no, no!" It's cute. 

Talking to Papa

We normally talk to Papa and Nana on Thursday night, but this past Thursday was crazy. The boys were exhausted and could barely make it through dinner. So we postponed the call to tonight. Nana was out of town with one of her sisters so we had all Papa's attention. Nathan's got his towel on his head after getting out of the bathtub and was chatting when he decided to take a picture.

It's kind of funny how the boys think that talking on the phone means to see the other person. The other night one of my friends called and Zachy was determined he needed to see them (shouting "See! See!").
