Donald did it again

Yeah! Donald rode the 100 mile bike ride again this year and he rode it in a little over 6 hours. He was a little tired but feels fine and he had a better time this year than last year. He will probably ride in it again next year. This is two years in a row that he has ridden the 100 miles.

I talked to Nathan's Occupational Therapist last week and she does therapy with him using headphones and music. It is some sort of therapeutic music and she asked me if we would try to do it at home with him. So I did it with him today and he looked so adorable with the headphones on that of course I had to take some pictures.

Happy Fall Y'all

Today is the first day of Fall even though it doesn't really feel like Fall weather. This week it is going to be in the upper 80s. Last week we had a few days that felt fallish. I am ready for cooler weather. I posted a few pictures of Nathan. His hair was so wild yesterday that I had to take a few pictures. He was good about letting us wet his hair down before we went to church.
Donald is going to ride in the 100 mile bike ride on Saturday so I will let everyone know how it goes Saturday. I hope everyone has a great week.

Nathan's 5 year check up

Just thought I would let everybody know about Nathan's check up. We went to the Dr. today and he had his 5 year check up. He is doing good. He is 45 1/2" tall and weighs 41.6 pounds. He has grown exactly 3 inches since his 4 year check up. He did good about letting the Dr. look in his ears and listen to his heart and lungs and looking at him. But he was not so good about letting him look in his mouth. He really does not like people to look in his mouth. That is one reason that we have never taken him to the dentist. But we are going to start looking at trying to get an appointment for him to go to the dentist. I know it is past time for his first appointment. We have all recovered from the party and Nathan has been playing with his new toys. I hope everyone has a good week.

Happy Birthday Nathan

Yeah! Today is Nathan's birthday. We have had a great day and a blast at his birthday party. We had his party at the Jump Zone and it was a lot of fun. Of course he did not want to eat cake so I made sure I had rice krispie treats for him. And the funny thing is his friend Gavin from school does not like to eat cake either so he also ate rice krispie treats. He was leaning into his cake to blow the candles out and got icing on his shirt. He was not too interested in opening presents(which did not surprise us at all, maybe one day he will like to open presents). I opened the first one and it had lights and made sound and had buttons so he really liked that one then the next one was a big number book so he also liked that one. So he did not pay much attention to the other presents when I opened them. So when he left he was holding those two presents. When we got home I took all the presents out and he started playing will all of them. So we had a blast and I posted some pictures of the party. The only bummer of the whole day was that Mema and Granddad could not be at the party. Granddad is in the hospital so Mema was with him. But Mema from Texas was here. But other than that is was a great day.

Just some cute pictures of Nathan

Donald was gone to water survival this past weekend so I took a few cute pictures of Nathan. He cracks me up because he drinks his milk out of a plastic cup with a lid and straw and he still manages to get a milk mustache. I took a picture of him and if you look real close you might be able to see the mustache. He was also having so much fun in the bathtub so of course I had to take a picture. His big birthday party is Saturday so we are all looking forward to that. I ordered a big cookie to take to school on Friday for his class and then of course we will have the birthday cake on Saturday. He is having an Iron Man birthday this year and of course Donald and Nathan will have Iron Man shirts on. I don't figure Nathan will eat any cake so I plan of taking some rice krispie treats(his favorite)for him. I will add birthday pictures and tell all about the party this weekend.

Pictures of My Favorite Guys

It has been raining all day and is supposed to rain all week. I just thought I would post some pictures of my favorite guys. Nathan was relaxing on the couch watching Dora and I thought he looked so cute (of course I think he looks cute all the time) so I decided to take a picture of him. He likes to put his hands behind his head and he has always crossed his feet even when he was a baby. The other two pictures are of Donald and Nathan laying on the couch together and of course Donald could not resist but to give his sweet boy a kiss.

Happy Labor Day

I hope everyone is having a nice relaxing Labor Day. We went to the Splash Zone today and had a good time. Of course Donald and I were watching Nathan's every move like a hawk since what happened the last time at the Splash Zone. We went to the Jump Zone last night and had fun. Donald is now mowing so Nathan is standing at the front door watching. He loves to watch people mow. He was upstairs with me when Donald started and he said, "I have to go downstairs and watch Daddy mow." So he ran downstairs and that is where he is now. Today was the last day the Splash Zone will be open. We had so much fun this summer going to the Splash Zone that we will miss it until next summer. I can't believe that Nathan's birthday party is in two weeks. Donald will be gone this weekend he is going to water survival. He will be back Sunday or Monday. I hope everyone has a great week.
