July 13, 2017 Nathan's 6th Birthday!!

Happy 6th Birthday Nathan!!! We sure love this boy!! Can't believe he is already a whopping 6 years old, where has the time gone!  We celebrated by having our cousins over and a super awesome star wars light saber cake, of course!!! The force has been strong within our family lately!! =D

 

We are just so thankful for Nathan, his thoughtfulness of others, looking out for those who may be struggling and trying his best to help them, even when no one is watching (like pushing kiddos on the swing who needed a push and their parents weren't around...or helping someone feel better after they've been hurt or are sad....), for his helpfulness with chores and helping mom make pancakes,  rolls or cookies, or chopping veggies/fruit in the kitchen, for his eager to learn and curious mind, his swift running feet, swift light saber moves and jabs and playful, energetic spirit, and loyalty to his family! He sure has a goofy side too, and loves to laugh.  He is a joy to have in our family! We sure love that handsome smile and that genuine smile! Happy Birthday bud!

 

Here are some of our favorite moments and memories ever since this cute boy joined our family 6 years ago:

 

 

What a happy day, our first baby boy!! He was a whopping 9 lbs 6 oz. and had a very gentle, sweet nature.  He was a super easy going baby, a great eater, and just a sweet piece of heaven to have in our family!

 

His birth was a real miracle...he had 2 knots in his cord, probably from doing flips early on in mom's tummy, but thankfully, we know he has a mission here on earth to fulfill because Mommy noticed at the end of this pregnancy, he definitely calmed down and was not as active as he was in the early trimesters....We've known families who have lost their babies because the little ones had a knot in their umbilical cords, and thankfully, Heavenly Father allowed our sweet Nathan to miraculously make it to our family safely! We love you Nathan!! What a blessing and tender mercy you are!

Yay! We were a family of four! Couldn't be happier this little bundle got here safe and sound!

You are such a ham and silly boy, but we are so glad you came to our family and for your thoughtfulness, kindness, hard-working spirit, and that handsome cheesy dimpled smile that lights up our lives!!  What a good sport he was about his birthday too, because we were only a month away from moving out of our house too and were in the middle of showings! What a whirlwind of a year, but with smiles like his and lots of heavenly help, we were able to make it through! Happy Birthday Nathan!
