Nate's 4th Birthday

Nate had a fabulous Disney Planes birthday party with friends today!

No matter how many times I beg my boys to stop growing up, they refuse!

Opening presents with family before the party. 

 Ben was quite hands on to help little brother.

How many kids does it take to open the door for the party guests?

Singing Happy Birthday

Silliness abounds with these boys. Sweet Emma, the lone girl didn't know what to think!

And they ate all the food in about five minutes tops.

 

Airplane throwing fun.

 

 We read one of the Planes books Nate received as a gift.

 I should have known they would all end up in costume since we hosted the party in the playroom. Thanks to Aunt Candice for the awesome Dusty! It was a huge hit.

  A quick snap with my baby boy! 

Ben Starting to Read

If the title didn't warn you enough, this is a TOTAL proud mom post. People keep asking if Ben is reading yet. He sounds out words easily and is still loving to learn. Although he doesn't love that school is five days a week and he only gets a two day break. I think he wishes it was switched around. He has had a hard time going back after Thanksgiving break, but he's making it!

Sorry that I am terrible with my phone video. But at least you see and hear him :)

He brought this paper home. They were to draw "g" words. I barely guessed any of them. Hilarious. We actually think he is quite talented in art like his daddy. He has brought home some pretty impressive stuff. But, take a guess at these "g" words.
