Nash's 3rd Birthday

Nash's Birthday was the day after the party.

When he woke up, he was not about his birthday.

He told us it was not his birthday but a friends birthday.

After the whole it is not birthday business, he jumped on the birthday train.

He requested pancakes for breakfast and Daddy made them.

Then we went off to church and I worked in his Sunday school.

On the way home from church he requested pancakes from a restaurant for lunch.

So off we went and met Nana and Pappi there.

Nash asked the server for pancakes and this is what they brought him.

One Happy Birthday Boy

After Lunch, we headed home for naps.

Once everyone woke up, we let Nash open our gift to him.

It was the boat from the Planes Movie.

Also, we took him to Target (or the Red Store as he calls it)

So that he could pick out the planes for his new boat.

Then we went to pick out his ice cream cake.
He picked the clown and then mama picked the strawberry cake.

We face timed Noni and Papa to help sing Happy Birthday.
He was so excited.

He did a great job of blowing out the candle.

yum yum

Nash also had a celebration at school.
He loved having the chance to celebrate with his friends.

All in all...Nash had a wonderful birthday!

It was a year to remember.

Nash's 3rd Birthday Party

I decided to go all out for Nash's 3rd Birthday

He is at such a fun age that is hard to not get excited with him.

We held it at the big park by our house in our neighborhood.

It was a tractor themed party.

We rented a bounce house (which is one of his favorites)

and invited all his friends my school, family and other friends.

It turned out great!

The Banner was made by my Mom for his first Birthday.

The plan was to use it for Every Party, so far we are 2 for 3.

We had chocolate donuts (tractor tires) and rice crispies (hay bales)

The Tractor Chocolates are thank you gifts.

The Tractor Cookies were amazing and made by my friend Erin!

The party gifts were john deere cups filled with goodies.

The Jump Jump

It did not go with the tractor theme

But Nash did love the cars

This was Nash's favorite part of the party

Actually all the kids loved it.

I made Cupcakes for the party

And the wind kept blowing out the candle.

But Nash was able to blow it out eventually

Before the party, I promised I was going to get lots of pictures I wanted.

But of course none of them happened.

I wanted Nash with both of his Grandparents.

With his aunts and uncles and cousins.

Nope.

I have got to get better at it.

The only picture of us...not great.

Nash loved playing at the parks with his friends

Joella and Tay Tay

Papa, Noni and Sadie

Nash had a great party!  He is still talking about it.

On to his real birthday the next day.

Gymnastics Class

I took Nash to his first Gymnastics Class

and he LOVED it.

I was able to capture some pictures, however they were on the other side of the gym

so the pictures are not that great!

I cannot tell you how odd it was to be the one in the waiting room

and not out in the gym.

Oh to be a gym mom now and not the gymnast.

Heading to the floor to stretch

 Stretching (such a good listener here)

Time for the obstacle course

Forward Rolls

Moving to the Rings and Bars

The class ended with jumping into the pit.

It was a hit, the only thing he was sad about was not being able to jump on the trampoline.

I think we are going to sign up for gymnastics class once a week at the beginning of the year.

We have so much going on until then, that we would miss too many classes.

Halloween 2013

What a fun day!

Nash is at an age that is so fun.

He finally gets stuff!!

And he has quite the sense of humor. 

The day started out with the annual Camp Amgen parade.

The school he goes to is at Chris's Office Campus.

The entire school does a parade along the outside main walkway.

Many of the employees come out and watch the parade.

It is so fun and cute.

Another bonus is his cousin Leyton is at the same school so we got to see him walk too!

Later that day was party time.

My Neighbor Heather and I threw our first block party.

At first we were nervous that no one would show up, but after a little bit

it was a huge hit!

Chris had some co-workers come and my friend Lindsay even made it out.

It was great!!!

Anyways...look at this little goofball before the party started.

Poor Sadie, she had no idea what was going on.

But she loved all the people around.

Setting up for the block party

The young ones eating pizza.

All the kids were riding bikes, scooters and doing crafts until we left to go trick or treating.

It was fun.

Nash loved ringing the doorbells and saying trick or treat.

He would yell at all the kids:

Come on guys, lets go!

It was so cute to see all the little kids trick or treating together.

We had one house that did themselves out. 

A great haunted house

The even handed out apple cider.

At the end, the kids were tired

and Nash did not even want to take a picture with Landyn.

What a great Halloween.

Looking forward to next years.
