HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!!

Nathan celebrated his 6th Birthday on Tuesday! I can't believe he's already 6...time sure does fly by quickly!! He enjoyed a couple of parties. We had a family bar-b-que at our house to also celebrate G-Ma's & G-Pa's Birthdays...it was great to visit with the family! Then this last weekend, Nathan spent Sat., night with G-Ma & G-Pa, and on Sunday, we had a surprise party for him at Chuck-E-Cheeses with his friends. He was sooo surprised when he saw everyone:) Some of the kids were a bit frightened of Chuck-E-Cheese, but they all had a great time playing games, and going on the little rides. Nathan recieved a Birthday crown, lot's of tokens, a piggy bank, and a huge balloon from Chuck-E, so he was thrilled! It was a great celebration! Then on his real Birthday, we were going to spend the day at the park, but poor Gregory came down with the stomach flu, and was home sick, so we changed our plans, and had a water play day in the backyard, then he chose Chinese for dinner...yummy!
Nathan as a 6 year old....he's a fisherman,baseball player, a great helper, enjoys playing with his brothers(most of the time), and loves going to church. He's such a special part of our family, and we are so blessed!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!!

HAPPY EASTER HAPPY SPRING...

Spring has sprung, and we've been very blessed to have a mild spring. Since I have blogged last, we have enjoyed our spring break. It's a very busy time for Dave at work, so we enjoyed doing activites around town. We spent a lot of time at the park, flying kites and having picnics. We went roller skating, and to the batting cages....And enjoyed spending a lot of time with Grandma & Grandpa, and having play days with friends. Baseball season is in full swing. Between practices and games, we have baseball 4-5 nights a week! Eli is playing major league little league, and is pitching. While Gregory is playing coach pitch, and still rotates positions. In the meantime, Nathan decided he wants to wait to do a sport until Fall, but he loves to play T-Ball with Jacob in the backyard:) So that brings us to Easter weekend. WE started the weekend with a day of decorating eggs, Eli went paint balling for his friends Birthday, and I had to go treat myself to a pair of new sandals...they're really cute!! Then on Easter, we were woken up at 5am by Gregory ready to go see what the Easter Bunny had brought him. I got him to go back to bed till 6:30, then they all began to file out. We went to early church, and it was a beautiful Easter Mass! Then, we came home for a delicous brunch, and an egg hunt. We had some down time in the afternoon, so we watched Horton Hears a Who, and some of us snoozed for a bit. Then we were off to my Grandma & Grandpa's for a huge dinner, and another egg hunt for the boys. We ended the day with watching Where the Wild Things Are...great movie! A beautiful Easter was had by all!!
