i have a ton of catching up to do on this here blog, but i couldn't think of a better time than now to get a jump on it. i can't believe the little dude is 6 already...and almost finished with kindergarten! where the heck does the time go?!
we were all set to start out his birthday with a bang...
...hanging out with some church friends for lunch at the park since there was no school today, then dinner with our good friends the dutton's tonight. well...nick's immune system had another plan...a fresh batch of strep throat. really?! grr!!! i hesitated taking him to the dr since his symptoms weren't really full blown, but he was cranky and refused going to the park. what 6 year old boy doesn't want to go to the park and run around like a banshee with his bff? soo very glad i ended up taking him since he was, indeed, the sick. {saying "the" in front of "sick" makes it so much more dramatic, dontcha think?} unfortunately, we had to push our dinner with friends back a bit, but at least we'll get to enjoy easter since he's on some antibiotics to kill the darn bug that took the fun out of his bday!
we assured him he would get to eat his favorite food {pizza}, and still be able to open presents, and once again, all was right in his world.
check out all the birthday loot a 6 year old can handle... {minus a few lego sets that he already opened last weekend from his nana & pop, and some cool light-up shoes & clothes from his gg}...

a big box of legos from granny & poppa... {can you tell there's a theme going on here?}
a hat, ball, and set of pj's {not wearing} also from his granny & poppa...
a fire fighter dress-up costume from his great nana...
a police officer dress-up costume from us parents...
lego ninjago spinners, books, sticker book and fangpyre mech {again from us parents}...
{maybe someday he'll let us take a picture of him & the gifts without having to tell him to move it out of his face a million times...}
lego batman pj's...
and the piece de resistance...the winner of all gifts received today...the only thing to hold his attention for more than 15 minutes all day... hexbugs from his uncle brent, brenden, emily and vivvy...
maybe now he'll stop digging around outside playing with all the ants, bees, wasps, roly polies, worms - the list goes on and on...
here's oliver supervising the bug situation...this little doxie makes sure the house is bug/worm/lizard-free!
thanks to everyone who helped make nick's birthday special...we wish you all could've been here to help him celebrate!
xoxo...liese :o)
