Nathan's 3rd Birthday!

Nathan's 3rd birthday lasted about a week.  Here are some pictures from that week. 

Frist, Nathan had an AWESOME birthday party with a TON of friends.  We were so happy that almost everyone could come.  Everyone had a great time!

Then on Nathan's actual birthday, we celebrated by having doughnuts for breakfast, going to the jumpy place (which was Andrew's first experience there) and by making cookies!

What we have been up to.

Ok - so I have not posted in forever (or it seems). 

Here are some totally random pictures since the last time I posted.  I think they are pretty much in order from oldest to newest.  Enjoy!



This was Andrew's first wagon ride.



 

Trying to take a picture of them together  - turned into wrestling.

Touchdown!

The boys watching football!

Playing in the new jumper!



Andrew's first haircut at home.  Before.





After




Andrew's first time in the swings.  Nathan can swing in a regular swing now but he doesn't mind being in the baby swings next to his brother. 




Trying to feed himself



Crazy about football




Visited the aquarium with PawPaw  - don't know why I didn't take a picture with PawPaw.
Andrew really enjoyed it this time.  He was trying to touch all of the fish.

Finally a picture together but notice Nathan can't stop watching the game.

Such a cutie!

Went to visit GG in the mountains - Nathan was not feeling his best. 

Andrew's new favorite thing to do

Nathan's first pony ride.  We were at Brad's school's Fall Festival

We were all feeling a little under the weather so we quickly went to a pumpkin patch by our house and got a couple of little pumpkins and rode a hay ride.  But it was Andrew's first time so we had to take pictures.

Love that cutie pie face!



Andrew is 9 months old!

Ok - so he has been 9 months for about 2 weeks now but we just went to the doctor Friday - so now I have his stats.

School starts back for Nathan

Nathan went back to school today.  He was really excited as you can see from the pictures, until we got there!  But when I picked him up, he was so excited and talked for about 10 mins straight about everything he did today. 

Andrew has 2 teeth!

Andrew's first tooth broke through 2 weeks ago, but it took that long to get a picture of it.  If you look very closely you can see that the tooth next to it has just broken though about 2 days ago. 

Let me tell you, they are sharp!

Andrew & the water mat

Now that Andrew can crawl on his hands and knees, he is enjoying the water mat so much!

Climbing

All Andrew wants to do is climb on everything. Here is just his latest trick.
Plus I think the top picture is too cute!

The Wiggles

 Last Saturday, Nathan and I went to see The Wiggles!  It was so much fun.  The first picture is from our seats - we had great seats!  The second picture, I took while we were waiting.  We were early which was good because Nathan was a little nervous at first.  The last picture was at home afterwards, Nathan is showing off his new Wiggles T-shirt. 

Eating

Andrew LOVES eating - above he is eating toast and below he is eating diced apples.
