The Party

Yesterday afternoon (except I started this Sunday and finished this post Monday) we had just a family get together of Ryan's family and my family for Nathan's birthday party and we combined it for Rylee's (that is this week) birthday as well. We just got together at a park that I grew up near and we ate pizza, opened presents and ate cake and ice cream. I was actually kind of worried about Rylee because on Thursday I hauled her into the doctor's office because she started running a fever with her runny nose and cough that were already three weeks old. I thought for sure that it had gone into an infection but I was wrong and her throat was bright red and the dr. said that it was just a virus. Well she was actually doing okay for the party except for that afternoon nap that she did NOT take! We had lots of fun with all the family that were able to come and so many presents for the kids! They got spoiled! Here are some of the pictures I had on my camera...

Nathan wanted to open a present this morning

Kinda dark but this is my Aunt Kathy (sitting down on the left), Uncle Gordon and my Grandma Gloria (standing up).



Zachary just relaxing in his stroller. He is Carrie and Kelly's little boy.

Another LONG awaited gift that came from Angie, Spencer and Morgan was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and he was definitely thrilled for this present as you could imagine!



One of the gifts Rylee got and she loves it! She actually played with one when she was at Primary Children's Hospital and she would get mad at whoever would pop the guys up. She is too funny!



Nathan opening the LONG awaited choo choo trains!! Yay! His expression was priceless on almost every gift. It was like that was exactly what he had ALWAYS wanted and he was thrilled (even with clothes!) He was too cute and kept telling everyone thank you.



Her new twin baby dolls



Beautiful blue eyes....need I say more?

Nathan blowing out the candles on his baseball birthday cake...he even blew out Rylee's candle along with his other three not on purpose but just because he has practiced blowing candles out and he had one big burst of air to blow four candles out!

Having a drink from Papa's cup.



Nathan had the baseball piece of his cake...it just happened to be the biggest because the frosting was piled so high with the baseball being already an inch thick and the frosting underneath it as well but that's the piece he wanted.

Isn't she just too cute in her new rocking chair that Nana and Papa gave her?! She loves it and already climbs up into it. Thanks again everyone for coming and all the gifts!

Nathan was convinced that the present that we had bought for him was a big box with choo choo trains in it when in fact it was a Spiderman scooter. He opened it up and he was totally excited that it was a scooter and never complained that he had yet to open choo choo trains that would come from Nana and Papa. So funny!

Oh I wanted to share what Nathan said to me on the way home from the park/birthday party. He was so tired and he was talking to Ryan and I about his presents and how he was three years old now. The next thing he said was "mommy, thank you so much for my birthday"! I about melted because he is such a sweetheart and he says the sweetest things sometimes! I love you Natey boy and hope you had a wonderful birthday!
