Nathan's Hawkeye Party

This year Nathan wanted an Iowa Hawkeye football birthday - so of course we said, You bet! Aunt Heather and Uncle Seth are rockstars and planned the whole thing. Thank you!!! The kiddos played pin the beak on the bird. Good times!

Nathan's buddy Brady Steenhoek thought it was fun too!Chad had to have a whirl at it

Proud Daddy!Sadly, I just didn't have it in me to make Nathan's birthday cake this year - next year, Buddy. We ordered the cake from Vander Linden's in town and had to do some touching up of the cake. We forgot to mention it was a Hawkeye themed party and the cake looked like an Iowa State cake until I covered up all the red with black icing.
The incredible party throwers! We are so incredibly thankful!Even though it was a football cake - this year seemed to be all about baseball. He got a rockin Cubs hat, baseball glove and even a t-ball deal that Nathan loves! He's all about baseball right now and to be honest - does a great job! He would rather have someone toss him the ball so he can hit it - we can't wait until the cast comes off so he can wear the glove on his right hand.He's already working on the call signs!
I just LOVE this picture and am so glad that Tom captured it! Awesome!The Dunsbergen's in my opinion got the 'best dressed' for the party :)Unfortunately, Aaron slept thru the whole party, but did wake up in time for a nice little family picture sporting our Hawkeye dudsAfter the party that night Nathan was hamming it up for us with the hat. Talk about laughing so hard I was almost crying! He kept saying, "Howdy, Pardner" and strutting around

Happy Birthday, Nathan! Mommy, Daddy and Aaron love you! Go Hawks! oh, and Go Cubbies!
