Nathaniel's Birthday

I can't believe Nathaniel is 8. While I missed celebrating with him last year, it's bittersweet because Joel isn't here. We were so glad to have a party with family. We let him watch Jurassic Park that night since he loves dinosaurs. He enjoyed that.

Seth just mostly wanted to make a mess with his cake, not eat it

Spinosaurus cake - not my best but I ran out of icing

We did several big puzzles together. Not sure we got a picture of the first one, but I think Will did this aquarium one himself.

Two Times Two!

It's official - we have two 2-year olds! I honestly don't know where the past 2 years went, but I am thankful we have hit this milestone. The boys are talking so much. They repeat words that they hear. Seth knows his colors. Joel does also, but he doesn't talk about them as much.

Joel is on the left in all the table pictures. I tried to get more of the two of them together, but they wouldn't hold still. We love these boys and they complete our family perfectly!

Birthday Month

September is birthday month in our house. Everyone has a birthday except Nathaniel.

Happy Birthday to Daddy

First day of Scouts for Daddy and N - the empty OJ container is for a birdhouse project they did

First Soccer Game. Right before he threw up in the minivan on the way home - heat exhaustion. I had heat exhaustion after cleaning up the van. It was hot.

He almost made a goal, and was goalie last quarter and made several stops.

My birthday - Seth had an ear infection and was home from school.
