Nathan turned 5!

On April 17th, Nathan had his 5th birthday! Since it was his big '5' we had a big celebration at Greatimes and he got to invite some of his best friends. He got lots of presents, cake and pizza, but more importantly, had lots of fun! So- here are a bunch of pictures from his big day!





Nathan looks like such a big boy in these pictures!

I have no idea what happened for my mom and Cynthia to be making these faces in this picture! I love their disgusting expressions though!




Mya and Lylah are best buds!

My mom and I searched everywhere looking for a 101 Dalmatian's cake. This is what I finally found. Nathan LOVED it!




Make a wish and blow out the candles! (I'm sure he wished for a puppy!)

Present time!
Carter's checking out what gift 'he' got Nathan. He technically added, "Mommy bought it though"!



Save the Earth ... Recycle my Sister



Come on...come on... hurry!


He finally got it! (this one took him forever to get open!)


From Uncle Pete and Aunt Carrie

Nathan LOVES BumbleBee!

From Danny, Melissa, Jacob and Maddie



From Cynthia, Jim, James and Alex (this opened up a whole new can of worms: Nathan wanting a TON more Imaginext stuff!)

Besides BumbleBee- Nathan is also obsessed with Dalmations. Melissa and Brent got him 102 Dalmatians, which I've think he's watched at least once a week since he's got it!


Nathan got his birthday wish! Well... kinda. =) Meet Biscuit:



Mommy and Carter!

Part of Nathan's birthday package was being able to go play in this huge soft-play area. Lylah managed to climb to the top, and then got scared so stayed in this area until Carter came to help her down!


Nathan made out pretty good!


In addition, he also got birthday money from Grandma Shirley- which he went a bought a huge Batman Imaginext set. And he also got birthday money from Papa Pete and Nana- which he bought this stuffed dalmation puppy that he can play games online with. And, Aunt Christy gave him his annual birthday money for his savings account!

It's hard to believe my little Nathan is already 5- and will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. It doesn't seem too long ago when he was like this:


How fast time flies- and I thank God for every minute of it!
