My Birthday Boys Nathan (4) and Sammy (6)

Sammy turned six today and I know that Nathan officially turned four ten days ago but you know what I didn’t get it posted…so I figured we’d do them both today!

Nathan is so excited to be four. He has run around telling everyone that he is now four and loving life. On his birthday we were really busy but we ate at L&L together before Daddy ran to CSULB for class and then used a BOGO free coupon at Dairy Queen and got two blizzards to share. YUM! Things that he enjoys at this stage of his life:

• Chocolate anything
• Shredded Mini Wheats
• His Webkinz Koala
• Pretending to be a koala, lion or kitty cat
• Geotrax
• Playing with Danny while Sam’s at school
• Train chasing (with Daddy)
• Grapes
• Jello
• Helping Mommy in the kitchen
• Primary
• “Praise to the Man”
• Playing outside in the dirt, riding his bike, or anything else outside.

Sammy, or Sam or Samuel as he sometimes writes on his papers, is excited to be six but doesn’t like time outs being so long. ;) He is loving kindergarten with Mrs. Lim and is happy to be able to say hi to Mrs. MacInnis daily too. For his birthday today we took him to get orange chicken (one of his favorite things) and then used a BOGO free coupon for ice cream at Cold Stone. YUM! He wore his birthday hat/crown from school most of the day and was so excited that it was finally his birthday after celebrating Danny’s in August and Nate’s on the 5th. Things that Sammy enjoys at this point in life:

• Chocolate anything
• “Strawberry cereal” (Special K with strawberries)
• Mac and Cheese or French Toast Sticks from the school cafeteria
• Long sleeve shirts (whether it is 40 degrees or 100 degrees)
• Combing his hair so that he looks “handsome”
• Dancing and singing to two or three lines of Justin Bieber that he learned from the girls down the street (sigh)
• Combo pizza or hot dogs with onions, mustard, ketchup and relish on them from Costco
• Building rockets, planes and space ships out of Legos
• Playing computer games (Webkinz.com, lego.com, Starfall.com)

Happy Birthday big boys. We love you!
