Happy Happy Birthday!!!! He is 5!

5 years ago last Tuesday, God blessed Rod and myself with this precious 6 lb, 5 oz baby boy. We so proudly gave him the name, Nathan Bradley Foster. What a joy he has been to us, and that includes our entire extended family. Friends and all.
Nathan, you are such a sweet, kind-hearted little boy. You have a special quality about you, you know when people need just a little extra love and you always give it to them. You are a huge mamma's boy ( and oh how I love that), let's see how long it lasts. You love to do creative things and play baseball in the back yard with dad. You love the little girls ( which your dad thinks is pretty cool) and older girls. You are the best big brother, always gentle with Wilson and very protective. Your daddy and I are so proud to call you ours.

Nate, 3 months


This past weekend we celebrated as any little 5 year old would want to celebrate. AT THE BOWLING ALLEY!!!! WHOO-HOO! It was such a cute party. We had a great turn out and Nathan was so excited to be the "man of the hour". I did a slide show b/c there were soooooo many pics to choose from. If you have time check out all of them. You can speed it up by using the plus sign in the bottom corner of the slide show, and if you want to know a little bit about the cuties in the pics just roll your mouse over the pic and it will give you a caption.

And as all birthdays go, the celebration continued on to Tuesday ( his actual bday). We took a cookie cake to school and he got to celebrate with all of his school friends, some for the 2nd time.

That night we let him choose his restaurant of choice----- MIKATA, our local Japanese steak house (my favorite as well). The whole fam attended and then we went to Nina and Papa's for cake once again and more presents.

YOU ONLY TURN 5 ONCE, RIGHT!?!?!?!?
