Aaarrghh...mateys!

Last Monday was Nathanael's second birthday (I know, you had to wait more than a week for the blog post, I'm sorry, but I have my reasons, now I can blog about everything all at once).  He is such a happy little two-year old, and such a little monster sometimes.   Yesterday,  he had his two year check up and he is doing great.  He weighs 27 pounds and is 34.5 inches long, and he's even moving up a little in the percentiles!

On his actual birthday, Nate got to open lots of fun presents from family and we went out to eat at Genghis Grill.  He's our little superman, spiderman, baseball or soccer player:

On Saturday, we did a joint birthday party with our friend Brody, who turned 4 yesterday.  Becca and I had fun planning a birthday theme and we were able to celebrate with lots of friends from church! Here's some of the fun we had:

Brody and Alina, cute pirates and great friends!

Better watch out for this pirate!

Someone at Becca's school made this cake, amazing!!!

Pirates at play

The decorations all turned out so cute, I really love the pirate ship hot dogs.  Not too practical to have little kids running around with pointy bbq skewers, but hey they were cute!

Lots of friends to share the special day with!

Birthday boys!
