Nate is 5!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Nathan! You are 5 today and i honestly have no clue how this happened. I swear you were just a baby and am pretty sure we skipped all of year 4 :)
You are still surprising us everyday with you big brain and even bigger heart.
You are in pre school right now and loving it. You have turned into such a big boy overnight. You are sooooo much like your daddy and it seems that everyone except you two see this.
Anytime you really like something or Love someone you tell us that you love it "One Hundred Seventeen Thirty Nine". If anyone is ever told that you love them this much it is a pretty big compliment. It makes me giggle every time I hear you say it.
You love Cars and Dressing up like policemen, firemen, superheroes, pretty much anything that saves something or someone.
You have a wild imagination and love learning about everything. You are big into space and ramble off random facts about planets when we read your space books.
When I ask you what you want to be when you grow up you tell me " A superhero Daddy and the Boss". I think you would be a wonderful Boss and Superhero Daddy one day.
You are a wonderful big brother who loves Nolan so much. I am so happy he has you to look up to.
I am so sad that you are growing so fast but can't wait to see what a wonderful person you are going to be.
We are so proud of you and love you more than you will ever know.

Happy Birthday Sweet Nate!!!

School Days

Well school has started again. I am a little late writing about it. I had some sadness the first couple days with Nathan going. He isn't even in kindergarten yet so I don't know how next year is going to go :)
He is going everyday this year since we are starting our own business. This is very exciting to him, for me not so much . He loves to learn and loves the schedule so he likes it being like "real" school. We also had to switch schools this year because the other one was just to far away to drive every single day. It took over an hour and a half of driving and it just didn't make sense. I loved his old school and teachers so much . Through this whole process I have realized something about myself....... I do not do well with change! ha ha.
Luckily the boys dont take after me or Kyle on this one and have jumped right in to their new school and friends.
Nathans teachers name is Mrs. Westbrook and she is great. There are also two teachers aides that are just as sweet. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. He has come home with tons of great projects they have done and it is only the second week of school. He has already made new friends and has gotten some great notes written home about his great manners and behavior.
Nolan is only going Tuesdays and Thursdays for now. They didn't have an opening in the 5 day a week class for him . I am very thankful because I just don't know if I could have handled that. He had a great first day. When we went back the next week he kept telling me that he wanted to go bye bye and started crying :( I think that one of the other little ones crying upset him . I feel so bad for those teachers because you can see the domino effect once one gets upset.
He has gotten into the grove of things and has no problem going now. He tells me every morning morning when we are walking in " Mommy , I go to playground " . He really loves that playground. His teachers names are Mrs. Norma and Mrs. Cathy. They are very sweet ladies and you can tell Nolan already has them wrapped around his finger. When I got to pick him up every one of the kids are sleeping on their napmats except you know who. He hasn't slept one time and just wanders around playing while the others are sleeping. I think these sweet ladies are going to have to lay down the law with Mr. Nolan. I am curious to see how this will play out :)
All in all it has started out to be a great year and I know these guys are going to learn so much. The only problem is they are growing up to fast.



Yes, Nolan has a black eye for his first day of school. He fell off the potty a few nights ago and bumped his head on the stool and toilet paper holder. Only Nolan.......
