Just one of the beautiful moments when all is right in the world.

More Walking
Two weeks into this walking thing and Marco is really getting around good. I'm amazed that something so tiny can walk. I could watch him toddle around all day long.
Fun Stuff
Life in our home is never dull. There is always something going on somewhere. My little boys are busy and happy. They have more than their fair share of arguments and fights but at the end of the day they love being brothers.
Valentines Day
We enjoyed Valentines Day with our usual breakfast, goodies and little gifts. Curtis worked late and Nathan had a basketball game so the evening was busy and hectic. I decided I deserved a little break and we picked up some Panda Express on the way home from Nate's game. YUM!
And so it begins!
Nathan has begun his basketball career. Our children have a rich basketball heritage. Curtis and his 4 brothers all played and were really good at it too. Curtis wanted me to mention that he along with his 2 older brothers were MVP's. I myself am not a fan of contact sports I took the music and dancing route in school, but my siblings, parents, cousins, uncles and grandparents were all ballers. My Grandpa Bluth is actually famous in Mexico. He played for their national team and also played for Mexico in the 1960 Olympics in Rome. Nathan has some BIG shoes, like size 15 big, to fill. Luckily for Nate he is pretty much genetically groomed to excel in basketball.
We gave him his first Nerf hoop for Christmas when he was 10 months old and it took him about 5 minutes to figure out the whole concept and he has loved basketball ever since.
Nathan improved a lot this first year. He has always been a good shot but he had to learn how to fight for an open chance to shoot. His dribbling improved a lot too. Nathan has been able to dribble the ball since he was 4 years old but it took him a few practices and games to get better at dribbling while running and being chased by the opposing team.
Look Who's 6!
Nathan is 6 years old!
This last year Nathan had really grown up a lot. With a year of school under his belt and his new found skill of reading it seems my little boy has vanished before my eyes and he is now a BIG boy. Nathan is super helpful, when he is in the right mood. He is very capable and helps out around the house a lot. He takes out the garbage, does dishes, vacuums, makes his own bed. folds laundry and is always ready to be Papi's right hand man. Nathan has a zest for life that keeps me on my toes. Since the moment he could talk this kid has had a never ending supply of questions spilling out of his mouth. He must know EVERYTHING. His constant stream of chatter and inquiries can be exhausting but I am grateful for his inquisitive nature.
Papi's schedule this year has made accommodating family celebrations a bit tricky. I love to celebrate birthdays on their actual day as much as possible which meant our only available window to celebrate with Papi was over lunch during his 2 hour break between teaching and office hours. Nathan didn't object at all when I suggested we meet Papi at Peter Piper Pizza for a lunchtime birthday bash.
We invited Grandma and Grandpa Kleinman to join us and we all feasted on the lunch time pizza buffet.
If felt a bit weird hauling Nathan's birthday with us, but it was fun and Nathan was in birthday heaven.
Nathan patiently waited for everyone to finish eating before we commenced the opening of presents. Once the gifts were unwrapped Nathan, Bracken and Papi hit up some games and activities.
Nathan loved all of his gifts, but he was especially thrilled with his new scooter. So far all of his scooters have been purchased used so having a sleek and shiny scooter with read accents (his favorite color) was totally awesome.
