January 2011-Nathan turns 3! :)

I just had to add this little head-cocked picture of Jake from when he was 1 month shy of 3. sniff! (in relation to his tkd pic)

I did not get to go to belt test this time. :( My 1st I have missed but my parents took Jake (and Lily too) and they had a great time. My dad held the board for Jake and he broke it on the 1st punch. :) Then they took the children out to Dairy*ueen. Both kids ordered a dessert and a slushy! :)
Doesn't Jake's little face look so round and cute in his sparing gear? This was his 1st test with sparring and Mr. Justin said he did great. :) He was sooooo nervous, but he always is. :)


I asked him what he was doing here and it sounded like he said, "outer bomb" but I am not sure if I got that correct. ;)

You can double click on any of the pictures to make them bigger and you might want to on this one because I think he looks so cute and little. :)

Good stance. :)

Scott and I love this picture because Jake has always stands with his head like this. :) Thank you Gramma and Papa for the great pictures. :)

ummmm :)

Nathan's party was on my Aunt Kathy's real birthday. My mom made her a coconut cake. :) She was happy to share the candle excitement with Nathan. :)

I had to include this because Nathan is still "reading" his cards in his room. Even today when he was SUPPOSED to be napping, I could hear through the monitor..."happy birthday Nathan. Papa loves you. love, gramma and papa". Lily was cracking up over this (she cracks up easily). ;)

Jake and Gabey :)

See him dancing up on his toes?! :)
