Construction was the theme of this year's celebration and the cake we had at the house on Sunday had three different construction trucks moving "dirt" icing all over the place. Nathan racked up on assorted dump trucks, loaders, graders, cranes, etc. They came in "Hot Wheels" size all the way up to the Tonka Mightiest Dump Truck from Paw-Paw and Nana Peck, which Evan could almost ride in! (Sorry - no pics yet, as I was busy with the video camera for most of the day.) He got a cool neck pillow for reading in bed and a Backyardigans sticker book from his Great-Aunt Ginny, along with some fun sidewalk chalk tools. Nathan's already planning his shopping spree with his birthday money from Grandma and Grandad Soldner, Granny and Grandpa Hazlewood, and Great-Grandma Peck. Tinkertoys are at the top of his list, followed by some lego-type building blocks and a fire truck. I'm planning on giving him a year's supply of vitamins for Christmas, so he'll have the energy to play with all his stuff!
The one thing he's been wanting since he first laid eyes on a real one is a Mustang. Every time we see one, he let's us know where it is, what color it is, and if it's a convertible. He knows the new models from the old models, and he's been for a ride in both Uncle Brad's and Grandpa Lew's Mustangs. He was so excited when he saw his Mustang, that he almost ran away in disbelief. Once he got in it, he punched the "gas" and wouldn't let up - sending Nana and Aunt Ginny running for their lives before he crashed into the front of our Impala, wheels still spinning. He quickly figured out that you have to stop pushing on the "gas" pedal to stop. We went for a walk later Sunday evening while Nathan and Evan cruised in his new ride, playing with the stereo and having a blast...
Let's put on some music!
Boys! Don't fight over the radio!
Hey Uncle Brad and Grandpa Lew!
My GT is a convertible!
