Happy 4th Birthday, Nathaniel!

This is how Nathaniel's 4th birthday went in reverse. Thanks to everyone who sent wonderful gifts this year. More pictures of Nate enjoying them to come. This morning after opening his main present, we went to the Oregon Zoo (thanks, Chris and Laura) and enjoyed all the animals there. The bears were wrestling, the cougar was prowling, a lorakeet landed on my head...very active animals on this sunny day.

My mom was here last weekend so we celebrated then with cake (see picts below) and today had leftover cake but added ice cream. Nate preferred the ice cream to cake but Zach wasn't sure about the ice cream and tossed it to the side and yelled for more cake.

Racing in the streets

This first video is of Coug #1 singing the Cougar fight song (we are so proud!) and Coug #2 ending it with a Go Cougs! Zach has really gotten the cougar spirit the last few months and yells Go Cougs (better than this shows) anytime he sees the cougar head logo.

The boys racing their cars on the Village Green. Nathaniel goes pretty darn fast...hope he doesn't catch his knuckles on the concrete columns. the first video is Zach trying to keep up and the second one is Nate.

The racers stop long enough to pose for a picture.
