It's official, my baby boy is four! We had a bowling party for him, at Empire bowl, and it turned out great. All of his family, best friends, and even his great grandpa and grandma showed up to celebrate with us (Thank you everyone who came). We bowled for the first hour, we then moved on to eating, opening presents, and of course singing happy birthday. Nathan's favorite toy was a Thomas the Train race hill. Yes, he still loves his Thomas. We play with it EVERYDAY. Another one of his favorites that he got was a sprinkler toy (see pics). Actually, I know he loved everything that he got, because first thing this morning he wanted to play with it all.
He asked me this morning if it was still May 17th. I told him it was not, and he said "how many more days until it will be again"? "Go ask daddy" I said, lol. Anyways we are looking forward to spending another great year with our Nathan Jack, and we are looking forward to our sweet little Brooke Lynn's birthday in August. I wonder what type of party she will want???
On a side note, my dad is on a mini family reunion trip to Missouri. We can't wait for him to get back to let us know all about it.

I was not going to post anything until after Nathan's party. However, what happened today is a must tell. My sweet angel Brookie got her head stuck in the toilet, yep the toilet (Laughing out Loud)! We had Nathan's potty seat on the big toilet and she stuck her head in it to see what "business" Nathan had done. She came up with it on her head. It was cute, but I told her it was dirty and to take it off. Instead of taking it off she pulled it on to her neck. I pulled and pulled and pulled, with no luck, It was STUCK. I called to get some advice
from my mom, and she said to put her in the bath and grease her up. I did, and you guessed it, still stuck!!! As you can imagine Brooke was in a panic, and yes I am still laughing so hard I am crying. I then decided to call the non-emergency police line, the lady laughed and said you need to call 911. Oh no, how do I explain this? I called and they said they would send someone right out. Now, Nathan thinks this is pretty cool that the fire engine is coming to our house. I hear them coming down the street, I try to get my laughter under control, by the time they come in. The first fireman there said he was going to wiggle it off of her head. Yeah right, do you really think I would call 911 if the toilet seat could be wiggled off? He tried with no luck, then the second fireman said let me do it. Now poor Brooke is really crying because they are hurting her trying to pull it off. Finally they decided it was stuck. They got out these really cool cutting things and cut it off of her neck. Nathan was not to thrilled about this, due to the fact that it was his potty seat. The fireman had us come outside to see the truck, it's lights, and the siren. They gave both Nathan and Brooke a hat. They were SO nice to us! Brooke even told them thank you.
I just had to take pictures. I got some before she was free and after. I will for sure save these for when she is 18.







I am hoping to post pictures from Nathan's birthday party tomorrow, so check back soon.

*I am still learning this blogging thing, so please ignore the underlined words, and how the pictures are posted. It is a work in progress.

Today is my first official blog. I am going to try and post something each week. My babies are at such a fun age now, they seem to do something special/funny every day, and I don't want to forget a moment of it. As Aaron knows, I don't have the best memory :)
today we went swimming in our back yard. Nathan and Brooke had their hair cut by my good friend Heather just before we went in, so we decided to whip out the bubbles, and take a bath in the pool. I am not sure if they got any cleaner, due to all of the grass and dirt getting in the pool, but it was fun and all of the water stayed outside.

Two day count down to Nathan's 4th birthday party. I can't believe my baby is going to be FOUR! I think I am more excited about the party than him.

Off to bed now, it is almost midnight. I get my nightowlness (is that a word?) from my mom. I am sure she is still up also :)
