Monster Triathlon

Once again, we participated in the Keller monster triathlon. The boys raced Saturday morning and Philip raced Sunday morning. They all did a great job and had a lot of fun! I really enjoy watching them work hard, exercise, and enjoy themselves so much at the triathlon!  This year was extra special because the boys' children's minister came to cheer them on. They love Miss Lexi and were proud to have her there. It won't be long and Nate and Rachel will be able to join in too. This was Levi's 5th, Joel's 2nd and Philip's 9th. Maybe next year I'll even participate!

Nathan is THREE!

My sweet Nater, Tor-natr-o, Nate, Tater, Nathan, Naterpatater is THREE whole years old! He is smart, silly, snuggly, curious,  funny, flirty, affectionate, social, a storyteller, stubborn, aggressive, energetic and thoughtful. He can make me want to laugh, scream and cry all at once, and I love him so!

Nathan loves to be outside, play with his siblings, be with friends or family, dance, read books, build/make things and ride his scooter. He brings a lot of joy to our family, and I'm so glad he's ours.

New Stats:
Height - 37.5 inches (70%)
Weight- 30 pounds 4 ounces (30%)

Doctor said he's right on target for growth and development and ahead of the game verbally. Thank God for another healthy check up!

We celebrated on his actual birthday with a donut breakfast, lunch at the "tree park", lots of birthday calls from family and chicken tacos followed by mint chocolate chip (aka green) ice cream for dinner. Nathan is one loved and treasured little boy!

Celebrating Nate!

Nathan decided to have a Daniel Tiger birthday party for his third birthday. He requested a Daniel Tiger themed treasure hunt, chili and fruit salad for dinner, and a chocolate Daniel Tiger trolley cake. Nate had so much fun at the party and really enjoyed spending time with his cousins and family. Sometimes, the most simple parties are the best, and this is proof of just that. He loved his treasure hunt and was so cute running from clue to clue with a big grin on his face! He was thrilled when he figured out the answer to each clue and got closer to finding the treasure. All the kids were thrilled to unearth the box filled with gold wrapped chocolate coins. It was so fun to watch! I can't believe Nater Tater is about to be three! Time sure does fly!

 

 

Blanket Love

The littlest two Boyers are big fans of their blankets. After their big brothers, who never became very attatched to any stuffed animals or blankets, it is funny to watch. I captured these pictures today, and thought they were worthy of being remembered :)
