Nathan is so loved!!

Yesterday we celebrated Nathan's 2nd birthday. Grandma & Grandpa B., Karalee, Iliegh, Russell, Beth, Jen & Mark & Liam Parolin, Carla & Brian & Decie Deschamps, and Mommy and Daddy (Uncle Darryl came later) were all there to celebrate this special day with Nathan. We ate hotdogs, chips, and veggies then had icecream cake, and finally we opened the presents. From the very beginning Nathan kept asking me if he could open his presents and mean mommy kept telling him to just wait.

When it was time for the cake I lit 2 candles and brought the cake out, Nathan blew them out like a champ, so we decided to do it again so all the kids could blow them out. So we lit the candles again and started to sing Happy Birthday again. Liam and Nathan were right by the cake, and Liam decided that it was time to start blowing but Nathan was in his way so he pushed his way in closer to the cake so he would have perfect blowing opportunity. Well Nathan was not impressed, he gave Liam the most disgusted look and then pushed him out of the way and stood in front of him. The 2 boys kept trying to get at the cake and finally the song ended and the candles were blown out and the fight was over. It was SOOO funny.

Nathan got tons of presents. He got an art easle from Carla &Brian & Decie, Flushed Away(the movie) from Karalee and Iliegh, a bow and arrow & a blow up frog/monkey from Russell & Beth, a leap frog movie(which is very cool) some colorful paper & some cool Noah's Ark foam stickers from Jen &Mark & Liam, some little tonka trucks from Lisa & Steven, a coloring book & flash cards & Peter Pan(the movie) & sand toys from Mommy & Daddy, a t-ball set from Grandma B. But the most loved gift was a tiny little ball glove from Grandpa Butler. It is SOOO cute, it is a Rawlings ball glove and it is small enough to fit NAthan and Beth's hand. We know it is Nathan's favorite because he was running around with it and bumped hard into Liam. They both fell to the ground crying, but all Nathan was worried about was his glove, it was sweet. Grandpa was pretty proud.

Anyways, it was a fun day, and it is sooo nice that Nathan is so loved. He is a very lucky little boy, and Wayne and I are very lucky to have so many good friendsand family that help and support us in this adventure in parenting. We love you all!!!
