Happy Turkey Day!

We had such a fun Thanksgiving. The boys woke up super early on Thanksgiving. Nolan was already down for his first nap in time for the Macy's Parade! Nathan and I hung out and watched while I made some goodies to take to Mimi's house.
After we saw some super cool stuff like Sponge Bob, Spiderman and of course our favorite Christmas song right now, " Were simply having a Wonderful Christmas Time", we got Nolan up and headed for Mimi and Papa's house. Nolan and Nathan played so nice while we waited for lunch. NOlan was the first one in his seat and eating! He LOVED his Thanksgiving. He ate so much food. I am sure he eats more than Nathan right now. After lunch Nolan passed out and took a 3 hour nap! I think he has thanksgiving figured out pretty good. Eat, sleep, eat again. :) Nathan played with his uncle Chad for a little bit and then was ready for his little "rest". Daddy and the guys went out to play some golf .
When everyone woke back up Nolan was ready to eat again and Nathan was ready for some Golf. Daddy took Nathan to the golf course to play a few holes and Nolan got his bib on for the second round of Thanksgiving.
It was such a nice and relaxing day full of food and family :) I was certain NOlan was not going to fit into any of his clothes the next day .

HO HO HO

We took a trip yesterday to have some Christmas fun at the Mall. On the way to play we stopped and saw Santa!!!! I have been telling the boys about Santa hoping Nathan would remember how fun it is to be good and get presents! ha ha .
When we got there Nathan was a bit standoffish so his brave friend Hogan went first. When he could tell everything was okay he decided it was his turn. He went up and sat on his lap just like a big boy and started to tell him that he wanted a Lightning McQueen for Christmas. Nolan seemed fine so I sat him on Santa's lap. As soon as my hands were no longer touching him he was MAD!!! This picture looks like he was scared but trust me he was MAD. ah ha ha. I picked him up and he stopped crying immediately. I put him down again and he started screaming . Nolan likes to be held and there are just some people he doesn't want to hold him . Santa shouldn't feel bad he isn't the first one that has gotten this attitude and I have a feeling he is far from the last. All I can say is I hope he doesn't get coal in his stocking this year. :)

I feel like Nathan was getting a little stressed and thinking " Do not mess this up for me kid!" ah ah ahah .

School Pictures 2009

Here are Nathan's School Pictures from this year. The photographer told them to say stinky cheese and Nathan thought that was so funny! That was over a month ago and he still randomly says " stinky cheese" and then starts laughing . ha ha ha ah. You can see in the front it is him and then going left his buddies Hogan and Lance. These three are best buds and are always together. I love that he has these little guys . He really loves them and tells us about their fun adventures all the time.

Stats

We went for our Check ups a couple weeks ago and here are the results!

Nolan : Healthy
Height 29 inches (74 percentile)
Weight : 20 pounds 8 ounces (50 percentile)
Head: 47 1/2 cm ( 90 percentile)

Nathan: Healthy
Height: 41 inches (104 percentile)
Weight : 36 pounds (90 percentile)
BMI: 15.2

Both boys are tall and skinny. Nathan is almost tall enough to ride big rides . You know the signs that say you must be this tall to ride? This tall means 42 inches! I can not believe how tall he is. I am almost certain they will both be taller and skinnier than both of us by 12! ah ha ah ah.
For some reason they both have big heads. I know its for all those brains they have :)

The Children's Festival

Yesterday was the start of the Woodlands Children's Festival . We made our way to the Pavilion and had a blast. They had all kinds of fun things for the kids to do . We started by making a kite! After some kite making and of course flying we found a seat for the Barney show ! They also had a place to make these super fun newspaper hats and face painting. Nathan of course got the Batman logo on his face. We walked through all kinds of stations they had set up with games and crafts! We left with a big bag full of loot! Some of the fun crafts they had were making your own paper, Thanksgiving headbands, and dot painting. Nathan also got to try out hula hooping for the first time. I wish I had a video camera because it was soooo funny watching him and how he shook his little hips :) His favorite part was a little pool they had set up that you could fish in. The fishing pole had a magnet as the hook and picked up all kinds of fun little toys. We had to stop by that booth twice :) They also had a teddy bear clinic set up where he got to do a check up and give the teddy his flu shot.
Nathan is such a serious little guy and likes to check everything out. He always has a straight face and just people watches. Throughout the day Kyle and I were always saying " Nathan are you having fun?" with his very quick and certain reply of "Jess" ( Nathan for yes) .
Nolan had a fun day which involved riding on his daddies shoulders and in his stroller. He is so laid back compared to what I thought he wold have turned out to be . He is always happy if he can see what Nathan and his Daddy are up to . :)

Group Picture, Take 12 !

On Halloween I kept trying to get a good picture of the boys, Kyle and his mom. We never have any good pictures it seems with the grandparents so here was our chance! Everyone was in a great mood and on the hayride. I thought to myself " this couldnt be more perfect" WRONG! ha ha ha. Here are some pictures of what happens when you get Nolan and Nathan together . If Nolan is to close to Nathan he wants to be all over him. He loves his big brother soooo much and would rather be crawling on him than smiling for the camera. Nathan is so polite that he just keeps smiling and kind of shrugging until he knows it is over.

Beautiful November Day!

Today was such a beautiful day . We packed up and headed to the park . Our friends Brady and Cash met us there later. As we were hanging out I took some pictures of the boys. I am pretty sure this is the first time Nolan has been in grass! You can see in the pictures he isn't really sure about it. Nathan is turning into such a big boy and it is so sad to me. As we were taking pictures of Nolan he ran over and sat by him and gave him a kiss. This just melts my heart when he does things like this. I hope he watches out for him like this for ever. Nolan also loves the swing right now. He gets so excited and starts kicking and laughing. Nolan is very much like Nathan in that way. Both of them love to be tossed around and always want to go fast. I love fun sunny days like these.

Halloween at Houston Oaks

Oh what a fun Halloween we had! We started the festivities at Meme and Papa's house. Once we got there and changed into our costumes ( a small delay because we forgot a certain sidekicks cape at home!) we were headed off to the golf club for the party.
Once we got there and checked out all the cool Halloween decorations Nathan made his way over to paint yet another pumpkin. What can I say the kid loves his pumpkins, this was his sixth one in the last two weeks. If we keep this up we can open our own pumpkin patch :)
As he was letting his pumpkin dry they called everyone over for a cake walk! I have never heard of such a thing but it seems I was the only one. The line filled up quick and Nathan didnt make it in for the first walk around. Aunt "Khaki" wiggled him in for the second round and as soon as Kyle said to me " What if he wins?" they stopped and called out number one. Take a wild guess who was standing on number one?????? NATHAN!!!! He got to pick out a cake from the whole table full of sweet goodies. We looked and looked and looked and found................. A PUMPKIN CAKE! Perfect. He let his daddy help him carry it and sit it on the table . He just couldnt resist and started eating the chocolate chip face piece by piece.
We talked him into leaving the cake in safe hands and going down the huge blow up slide they had. After some fun times with his cape flapping in the wind we rode the Hay ride. Nolan go to get in on that and had a blast! He was laughing and jumping up and down the whole time. They had some hot dogs and hamburgers so we decided it was time to eat. Nathan never eats hotdogs but decided that Batman eats them. Sure enough he ate the whole thing! We talked Meme into riding the hayride with us and went another round. After the hay ride we tried to hang around to see who won the costume contest but we ran out of time and had to get home for the real trick or treating! Kyle said in his head the boys won so I will take that ! :)

Harvest Day Parade.

Last week was Harvest Day at Nathan's School. They do a little parade to start of the fun with all the different classes dressed up in their costumes they make. Nathan's class was dressed as the cutest pumpkins ever. It was perfect because Nathan loves looking for pumpkins and ghosts around this time of year!
During the parade Nathan was in the middle of his two best buds at school , Lance and Hogan. Mrs. Eddy has told me that have a little gang and watch out for each other. I love it . It was never as obvious as it was Thursday .
After the parade they got to go back to the schools pumpkin patch and pick out a special pumpkin that they got to paint and bring home. Nathan also brought home a fun bag of goodies from his teachers. What a fun day. Sometimes I wish I went to his school .
P.S. I did notice that Nathan's hat has the pumpkins standing on their side while everyone else's are flat. If you ask Nathan why he says " Thats how we do that" ha haha ah
