Sesame Place with Ryan!

Sunday we went to Sesame Place with Ryan, Lauren and Pat. Nathan was so excited that he couldn't even nap on the way there! :) 

First ride Super Grover Coaster with Pat!

Then a spin on the merry go round.


Then we must pause for what happened next....I asked Nate (who was sitting in the stroller) if he wanted to go on Ernie's Bounce house..he said yes...turned to ask Ryan if he wanted to go...and went to get Nate out of the stroller and he was gone!!! We all started to look for him (Lauren stayed with the boys and the strollers) after going around the whole area at least 4 times and what seemed like hours (really only minutes) I alerted security...and at the same time Nathan was spotted. He had been trying to get on the bounce house the whole time. Not sure how we didn't see him....but he was there like nothing happened. He was fine until John and I started to holler at him ...he was strapped into the stroller the rest of the day unless he was holding someone's hand! THANKS for the heart attack Nate!!!

After regripping we headed over for some pictures with Big Bird and Elmo!






And against my best judgement we let Nate on Ernie's Bouncy Bed. ( I gave in because I truly believe that he didn't "run away" he just thought when I asked him if he wanted to go that was permission to go).

He had a blast bouncing around. 

Then it was off for a flight in the hot air balloons.. Colby LOVED this!

Time to Blast off with Elmo. Nate and John rode 2x in a row. Got to love the Platinum Passport :)

It was getting really hot in the sun..so the boys headed off into the water park area. (Colby had fallen asleep...so I stayed with him and played photographer )


















Ryan, Lauren and Pat headed out after the water park. We hung around a little while longer, played some games and took one last spin on the merry go round.
Nate was almost asleep in the stroller when he spotted Zoe!



After the pics he climbed in and slept until 130 this am! He slept through being transfered into the car, then bed and even getting into his pjs. He was one tired little boy....after a little battle with Daddy he was asleep again for the night at 3 and was up and in the shower by 645! 

Thanks again for coming with us Lauren, Pat, and Ryan we had a blast!

1ST Little Gym Class-Birds

Colby had his 1st Little Gym class on Sunday. He had a blast! I wasn't sure if he would like it since he started so much older than Nathan did...but he did great! 

Thursday September 4th -- Annual birthday Dinner at Outback

Since we were SOOO crazy Nate's birthday week we went Thursday to Outback. Its been a tradition that he loves to continue. Jake and Livi join us every year. This year we got to sing to Olivia too! Every year same thing...Macaroni and cheese, LOTS of bread and butter and a spotted dog sundae :) 

Sunday August 31st--Olivia's 2nd Birthday Party

Today we headed out early for party number 2 of the weekend.  Olivia had a beautiful day and a great party. I need to get some pictures from Angela (we totally didn't think about a camera when we headed out this am :(

Nathan got bit or stung by "something that was crawling". His right arm blew up 4x the size. It didn't really seem to bother him too much, but it was hot and swollen. We gave him benedryl round the clock for 24 hours and kept putting hydrocortizone on it for a few days. 

Saturday August 30th ---- Scooby Party!!!

Today was Nate's Scooby Doo 3rd birthday party. We had a great day! It was really warm. But nothing like the heat of last year! There was a threat of storms...but thank goodness we never saw a drop! 

Nathan had a blast with all his friends! All in all I think it was a great party! More pics to follow when I get the disk from Trina :)

Friday August 29th

Today we started to set up for Nate's party. The Doone's came to help set up their big tent for us. We had dinner and got to bed early (12am early for the night before a party LOL) to be rested up for PARTY DAY!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Nathan!!!!!

I can't believe Nate is 3 today. Were did the time go? We have lots of fun things planned for the day! #3 donuts with his friends. Then off to celebrate his birthday at the Jackals game! Pics to follow!!!
