Outdoor Movie Night

On Friday we hosted a neighboor hood outdoor movie night! A great idea we got from our cousins in Iowa City (thanks Klitgaards!) We ended up with a great weather, with several movie goers even wearing jackets! Nathan was very excited to have some of his playmates over.  The movie we choose was Finding Nemo.  Nathan was so excited to deliver his invitations and prepare for the special event!

Tractors

The boys have been lucky enough to inherit Daddy's farm toys and it seems like lately they have been working double duty.  Logan is thrilled to finally be able to hook up his own equipment such as wagons etc.

Boys Day

We were lucky enough to have the mannetter cousins come spend the day with us a few weeks ago when their sitter took the day off.  The boys had such a fun day together! We even managed to get everyone down for a nap, except for Levi because he of course is much too old to take a nap (love to you my sweet little man ;) )What a fun day!

The barber shop is open

Nathan enjoyed playing blast ball again this year.  It was fun to watch him be a part of a team and enjoy time spent with his team mates.

Batman!

Happy 5th Birthday Nathan!

Today we started the day celebrating Nathan's birthday with his favorite breakfast, pancakes! Five pancakes, of course! Then we headed to Ames to Reiman Gardens to check out the lego exhibit and the butterfly garden.  We then made a special trip to Target so he could pick out special birthday toy from Mommy.  Nathan picked out a Hot Wheels toy called "Graveyard barnyard Bash".  Then it was off to Story City to meet Grandma Britson for a special birthday lunch and ride the Carosel.  The day was finished by letting Nathan pick his favorite meal for supper.  He picked grilled cheese sandwhiches! What a fun day!

Dear Nathan,
 It dosen't seem possible that it has been five years since I got my first glimpse of you and got to snuggle with you.  You are growing so fast and becoming such a little man! I love every minute we spend together and I will always cherish all the fun times we share.  Happy 5th Birthday!!
Love,
Mommy

Nathan's 5th bday Party (Britson Side)

Nathan was thrilled to have all his cousins come to help him celebrate his birthday ( and of course Grandpa and Grandmas too!). He had a transformer rescue bot themed party.  We had such a fun day!

Nathan's 5th bday Party (Zoske Side)

After watching an episode of Max and Ruby where they have a suprise party for Ruby Nathan had been saying he wants a suprise party over and over again. Grandma and Grandpa Zoske offered to host a suprise party for Nathan, his reaction when we walked in for the party was priceless!

As you can see from this video Nathan had his heart set on a brand new buzz light year for his birthday! It was fun to see him so excited as he opened his presents to find buzz inside :)

What Nate's been up to lately...

As you can see I frequently find self portraits of Nathan on my camera...
Nathan had his second burn at the beginging of the summer after he touched a hot fire fork.  He was enjoying showing and telling everyone about his injury ;) What a bandage!

What Logan's been up to lately...

Words we frequently hear Logan say; Mama, Dada, Bru ber (Brother), Cracker
Words we've hear a few times; Grandpa, Grandma, Tractor, Ballon

Rub a dub dub

Their little giggles just melt my heart!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

...with Daddy's help of course

Wrestling with Grandpa Zoske

The boys are always up for a wrestling match! You would think as a mom this would be something I would frown upon (don't break the lamp etc.), but I am all for it. The more energy they can get out the better! It is so fun to see them having such a good time together. Today Dad got a break. Nathan and Logan got to give their best efforts against Grandpa.

Nothing like an afternoon at the beach
