So, Here’s what you missed (part 2)

On September 15th, Nate had a birthday!  32 welcomed  him warmly…
We had a cozy little party at home on the 13th since we had plans to be out of town for the 15th.
Miles has a blast planning the party. To begin, the presents!
Miles has been obsessed with Spiderman lately.  He’s even started referring to his dad as the Hulk.  Miles wears his Spiderman costume everyday after school.

Dad needs a hulk costume.  We couldn’t find one that would fit dad, so he settled on a set of hulk fists. BUT….  he only wanted dad to have the fists if he could get cool Spiderman stuff too.  I had to explain to him that this was DAD’s birthday, not Miles’ birthday.  After that, he no longer wanted to get the fists.  Sop… here’s the pile-o-love!

He finally settled on this for Nate’s “big” gift:

Lots of living room basketball in the dark now…

Miles also picked out silly putty, baseball cards, and a box of fruit roll ups. It should be noted that the putty and cards are currently in Miles’ room.  Also, Miles ate all but 1 one the fruit roll ups.  I guess we need to teach the spirit of giving a little better.
     
We did get Nate a couple practical gifts as well; a laptop stand thing and a bright orange watch!

We also had cake… this year made to Miles’ specification.  I asked what kind of cake his dad would like.  He answered with “Dad loves baseball.  He wants a baseball cake!” Ask and ye shall receive…

On Nate’s actual birthday, we travelled to Ames, Iowa for a Cyclone football game and a tailgating with coworkers. This was Miles’ first real football game . Catching up was incredible, but I failed to photo document any of that.  I did, however, capture a couple pics of Miles and Cy with my phone.

We all had a blast!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATHAN (aka DAD) !!!  We love you!

Congrats, ISU on your 37-3 win over Western Illinois University!
