Happy Birthday Nate-Dog!



Yesterday was Nathan's Birthday. He was born ten years ago! Where does the time go? Nathan had a busy birthday. School, then Honor Choir, then homework, and here you can see he has just wrapped up his football practice. Doesn't he look good in his gear?


Practice got over at seven. We took a Costco cake to practice and shared it with all of his teammates and coaches. His team name is Gators and the team color is green.


A couple of the boys thought it was quite humorous to shout out the word "FOOTBALL" every time the word "birthday" came up in the song. It sounded a little something like: "Happy FOOTBALL to you...Happy FOOTBALL to You! Happy Football, dear Nathan..."



Nathan blew out his candles and promptly told us afterward that he hadn't made any wishes. Do you think he feels too cool for wishes (now that he is ten) or do you think he was just really trying to keep his wish a secret?



Ten Years Old! What a great kid.



Here Nathan and Mike are looking at some of the football cards that Grandma Swensen put in his present. Happy Birthday Nathan!

He's a good-lookin' kid, Jennie!

I happened to notice in the first picture some motocycles in the background. Do they belong to anyone who might be 32 and single?
