Nate's 5th Birthday

 I know this is about 6 months too late, but I need todo a little catch up.  We were in North Carolina with Joe's family so although we ate cupcakes, I didn't get any pictures.  When we got home, we opened Nate's presents.

 

 For his party, we went to Chuck E Cheese. 

 His favorite thing to do was to go in the super wind tunnel and collect tickets.

Nate is quite a joy to be around.  He is very diligent about getting his homework done right as soon as he gets home.  He likes to be read to, and is starting to be able to read short books.
He LOVES electronics- especially the Ipad and Ipad mini.  He constantly plays games on them and is always asking to get a new game.  He also loves to play the computer and the wii.  He loves Legos- he is getting good at building complex sets by himself, but he will also put together creations of his old Legos when he gets a chance. He likes to play with friends and is constantly begging to play with one of his friends.  He does jiu jitsu, and if he would take it seriously, he would do amazing at it because he has great skills for it.  He is very strong willed and has no problem whining until you get super frustrated or he gets his way.  He is almost always happy and smiling-well unless he is whining.

We are glad to have him in our family!
