Jamin's 3rd Birthday Celebration at the Construction Yard

Is that what you call it?  Or is it just a "yard"?  I don't know the lingo, but anyway, Jamin invited Nathan to go to the yard with him a week before his birthday and ride the big tractors!  Here's Nathan bringing Jamin his gift :)




And here's the shirt we made for him.





Two construction workers!


These two are good huggers!


Jamin's grandparents, Jeff & Lori, came too!


Kyle showing Matt how to work the bobcat.  Nathan didn't want up in the big front loader with the back hoe!


But he thoroughly enjoyed this :)


They went over to the big pile of dirt and scooped it up and dumped it several times.


Yep.  Josh is eating dirt.  Well tasting it and spitting it out.  He never actually seems to swallow anything.








Jeff is in the front loader with Jamin and Kyle is in the bobcat with Landin.


Jeff coming down the hill!


Kyle's turn.




Nathan overseeing the project :)


Jen took the cat for a spin!  She's a cool mom :) 






Jen bringing over a load to us...


...and dumping it!


Nathan up in the front loader while it is turned off!


Now he's loving it.


"I just don't like it when it's on, Mommy."



He told me to come up and look at something.  Here's the video of this part of our night!




More hugs!


Time to go play on the dirt hill!


Jeff taking a leap!











The boys loved it.


Kyle's turn!








Jamin's turn...


Just kidding :)




Time to throw some rocks.


Jeff first!








Heading back to the cars.


See the button on Nathan's vest?  He said he wanted one because it didn't stay closed so we bought a snap at Hobby Lobby.  We got one for Jamin too but waited to put it on in case he didn't want it, or wanted it in a different place.  We put his on at Jen & Kyle's house.


Running after each other!






Back to Kyle & Jen's for Louie's pizza and Jen's famous cake!!!  Check this one out!

There's even a "3" in the dirt and Jamin's "A" is hanging off of the front loader.  So cool!  The rocks are edible too. 

The big birthday boy!  He's growing up so fast.  How is he 3 already!


Singing to Jamin.


The cake is green on the inside!


It was funny watching Josh and Landin play together.  They kept pushing each other out of the way!


Jamin had these cool window markers! 


The boys playing with play dough and Jamin's trucks from his cake!  This is a good way for Nathan to do it because he doesn't usually like to touch play dough.  For real :)

So thankful Jamin wanted to include Nathan in this fun night! We all enjoyed it.
