Happy Nate

Hello & Goodbye - on the side!

Yes, I am aware that I did not hold my camera the correct way

- but it is too cute not to share!

Us...

This picture was really taken last summer...but I was playing around with my new photo shop so it will have to do!

When I look back at this picture, it amazes me how much has changed in the last nine months of our lives.

But Good & Bad. For Better & For Worse. You & Me.

Brian & Michelle.

Us.

I Love You Babe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!!

Nicks Birthday Party - 3/8

On March 8th, Nick had his first "friend" birthday party with a couple of boys from his pre-school class joining him for bowling, cake and all-over CRAZINESS!! Talk about boucing off the walls - and there were only three of them (plus the Tator)! They all had a great time though and Nick is still talking about it!

More Golfing - we just can't get enough!

P.J. Babies

Way Behind

Ok, so I'm way behind on blogging and posting pictures - new camera, new photo program and way to hectic of a life...but I will learn, I will do and I will pare down...at some point. Until then...

Hit the 9!

For Christmas, we had given Nick a set of golf clubs. I remember when he opened them that he was really excited and wanted to play with them; to which I responded "We have to wait until there isn't any snow on the ground buddy!"

Well, that day was here on Sunday!

Nicholas asked Brian and I if we wanted to go outside - we both said no (yeah yeah, bad parents!). I told Nick that if he wanted to get his coat and shoes and gloves on, that he could go out by himself. Less than 5 min. later he was ready to go. His only request..."Mom, I need my golf clubs because there's no snow!"

So while it was freezing out...there wasn't any snow on the ground...therefore it was time to play golf!

Notice Nicks lips - pretty bruised up from his fall!

Even Brian wanted to join in on the fun!

Our Weekend.

*We went to the Grant School Carnival on Friday night. As we were leaving, Nick was so focused on eating his popcorn that he fell on the sidewalk and now has a huge red/black gash above and below his lips. Poor boy was bawling - and when I asked him if he was going to be OK, his main concern was that he had spilled all of his popcorn. Moms full bag did the trick!

*I didn't work (I had a request from Brian to NOT work and to NOT to check my work email). It was so nice to actually have two full days to relax and play and get stuff done around the house.

*Brian let me sleep in Sat. AND Sun. morning - now that's love!

*We had the Franks over on Sat. night - lots of fun! And from this evening I learned how to spell Euchre (thanks Matt!!).

*Nicholas, Brian and myself played SO MUCH Wii!

*I attempted to make Pumpkin Bread and mistook the (t) in the recipe for a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon - again, me and the kitchen DO NOT get along!

*After Nicholas decided he just wanted to be the spinner - Brian and I played Twister. Yeah...Twister...and I am not nearly as nimble as I was when I was younger.
