Someone turned 2

Nate turned two and we all went to Red Robin to celebrate. It was also my brothers birthday. I think he is a little older than two now. ha, ha
Nate's cake was a construction site. He had diggers, dumptrucks and cranes. Thanks Dad!
This present from Grandma and Papa was almost as big as him.. It was a bubble lawnmower.

One of his favorites was his long needed dyson vacuum. Hopefully he won't keep getting into mom's vacuum anymore.

Times Are A Changin

Today I picked JT up from kindergarten for the last time. I watched as all of the kids gave high fives to Mrs. Bond. After JT started walking towards me, then he ran back to Mrs. Bond to give her a hug. Okay, tear jerker for me. As I drove away, I realized how fast this year went, and how fast JT is growing up. I know it's not the last time I will have a kindergartener, but I'm realizing that time is going quickly. I hope that I am doing my best as a parent to teach him before it's too late.

JT's Prayer

So tonight when I was putting JT to bed, he made me promise that I wouldn't laugh at his prayer. I'm thinking, that's an easy promise. And why would I laugh at his prayer. That would be inappropriate and rude. Well, during the prayer he blessed that he could go to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch tomorrow. He said his prayer so quietly that I could barely hear him. So, during the prayer I'm thinking did he just say Sweet Tomatoes? After I figured out what he had said (of course after the prayer) I broke my promise and started laughing hysterically. Whoops! I just think it's funny that he would be thinking about lunch and Sweet Tomatoes in his prayers. Silly guy.

Can I have some Elmo please???

Nate learned two more words today-one of which my sister will love hearing. He's been saying "Elmo" this last weekend and I just figured out what he's trying to say. This morning when I asked him what he wanted for breakfast he started saying "Elmo" and getting really excited and ran to the pantry and pulled out the oatmeal. Oatmeal = Elmo. (My sister hates oatmeal by the way) And then I asked him if he wanted an orange and he said apple. Cool. My son is not going to be mute and we will eventually understand him.

Mother's Day B-Ball

All the guys playing basketball at Mom's house. Of course, Donovan had the most rebounds. Did you see air Jordan or I mean air Josh.

Are you hungry???

I'm not sure if Nate was hungry or just proving a point. But here he is eating his flip flop and really stressing his brother out because "he might get sick."

Ready, Set, Blast Off...

Okay, so this picture isn't that great to see the people underneath. But wow, these rockets are huge. I couldn't even get the whole thing in the picture.
