happy, happy birthday

Happy 9th birthday Nathan!  

To celebrate the big 9 we're going to share 9 things about Nathan that make him so great(there are of course more then 9 but we're sticking with his age.

1.  Nathan is very easy going and is almost always agreeable

2.  One of the few times that Nathan is not agreeable is when he is sick - I have never seen a worst sick person ever - he is a totally different person when he is sick.

3.  He is a great helper although he tends to be more willing to help when I ask instead of Derek.

4.  He loves video games of any kind - play station, nintendo ds, wii, arcades, whatever - he loves to play them

5.  He is just so darn cute!

6.  He does very well at school - he recently passed the AAA (gate) test with a 99%  A few days ago we were talking about how smart you have to be to work at NASA so he currently wants to work there when he grows up (in the same sentence he also said that he wanted to be a race car driver - I'm sure they have to be smart too)

7.  Nathan has lots of friends and is accepting of everyone

8.  He loves facts - once he learns a new fact he shares it with everyone

9.  He can eat beans like no ones business.  His favorite mexican restaurant meal is a bean burrito with a side of beans and beans...no beans and rice, beans and beans.  He often comes home from school and asks if he can have a can of black beans for snack.

We love him (side effects and all)  He has been a blessing in our home for the past 9 years. Happy Birthday buddy!
