My Baby Boy


So my baby boy turned 9 on January 10th and again I wonder where the HECK did the time go!!!
I'm truly grateful that Heavenly Father chosen me to be this precious boy's mom....So, this year it was a little different, we decided that we would have birthday parties every other year and honestly it didn't effect Nate in the least...Normally, we open presents in the morning but this year we opened after school before Blake left very early to work that morning. If you recall, in our family the birthday person decides what on the menu that day, they get to decided what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nate decided he wanted for breakfast; sunnyside up eggs, toasts and sliced apple, lunch: was a cheeseburger happy meal(which he was the envy of his classmates), I also made a candy lei with all his favorite candies; Twix and Kit Kats and for dinner; Salmon, couscous and peas.
 Nate is such a funny kid and it definitely was shown when he was opening his presents and his siblings were excited for him too.
 Nate was so happy with his gifts especially with....
 DS...with took him 5 minutes to figure out he got because he saw the carrying case and thought that was the only gift he got and was so BUMMED, but then again, it doesn't help that his dad wrapped it up in a brown paper bag.
 So this I was so sick, that I cheated and brought his cheese cake instead of making it myself and it was late before we had his cake, that he was in his jammies.
 These are the annual birthday photos I took:
My favorite is this photo because it's shows his personality.

Rocking In The New Year!

Since we were staying home for New Year Eve, we decided it was time to host our first  New Year Eve's party....and the invites went out.
And we ROCKED in The New Year!!!!
 We had so much fun...as you can see I couldn't even sing because the band members were making me laugh so hard!!!
 And as for the kiddies...they were downstairs in the family room, watching a movie!
 These were the brave singers and we all had a BLAST!
 Here are some of the band members and some audience enjoying the music!
 But we definitely needed help...for some it was their first time!!!
 But this Chick ROCKED it OUT!!!!
Then it was their turn!!!!(Yes, I know there's an adult there but if anyone know Jed, he's a BIG kid.)

We had a ton of fun...adults making animal sounds were the BEST....(sorry Melissa, you just couldn't get the hang of it!) games, movies, food and good friends made the last day of 2010 the BEST!!!!
