School Pictures

Last month was school picture day and we just got them back. Check out these two fall cuties.

5 year stats

Nate went for his 5 year check up this week and he is doing great!
He is 46 inches which puts him in the 95th percentile for height and 43 pounds which is 65th percentile. So pretty much tall and skinny :)
The doctor said according to his stats now he will be 6'3" when he grows up but if he uses Kyle and my height he will be 5'10"! pretty big difference huh. I guess we will wait and see. I have a feeling he will be like his daddy who was huge until high school.
He is healthy and doing great in all areas. The one thing I need to work on with him is his phone number! Can you believe I haven't taught him his phone number. It never even crossed my mind until they asked if he knew it. UH OH! In my defense , the doctor even agreed, in this day and age who really knows more than one or two phone numbers?

Nathans 5th Birthday Party

For Nathans Birthday we asked what theme he wanted and of course it was Cars! We had originally planned to do it at the same park as last year but the heat kept rising and a few weeks before we switched it to Cypress Academy of Gymnastics. I am so glad we switched because this place was sooooooo fun and Nathan had a blast.
The theme was race around the world from the Cars 2 movie. We had different stations and flags to represent Italy ( Nathans favorite country right now ), Japan, France and United Kingdom. Granny sent us lots of goodies from her work that had cars stuff on it . The best was each kid got a Cars2 shirt with all the characters on it.
When we got to the place they have a huge green mountain the kids can play on , It is so neat and is complete with slides, underground tunnels and rock walls. After everyone got there we went to the next station where the kids raced down a trampoline running area and into a huge pit of foam! The coaches even ran with the kids and threw them way up high in the air where they landed in the pit. I thought Nathan would be a little scared but he loved it. He was laughing and running around the whole time. We then headed to the rings! They were way up high in the air and I was sure Nathan would pass on this but once he saw his friends he hoped right up there and swung back and forth just like Tarzan. It looked so fun and they got to land in a fun pit of foam once they let go!
After everyone got to swing from the rings we headed to another station with built up blocks surrounded by trampolines in the floor. The kids could jump and run off of the blocks all they wanted. After a while of this we headed to the party area. All the racers fueled up on nuggets and fruit with some Cars juice boxes. After we were full it was time for some cake!!!!!
Nathan was shy at first but when everyone started singing loud he got a big smile on his face and blew out the candles in the first try.
It was such a great day with all our our great friends and family. We are so lucky that we have such a great group of people to spend these special times with :)
