FAMILY PICTURES 2010

My Dad is so sweet to do our family pictures each year. They turned out really so cute! I love them. Hope you do too :)

K, DOES THIS NOT REMIND YOU OF MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL?

Suspicious stuffed pony blown up outside school

September 11th, 2010 @ 6:38am

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Authorities blew up a stuffed pony _ determined to be a "suspicious device" _ after it was found outside a central Florida school. The Orange County Sheriff's Office reported that the toy was found near the Waterbridge Elementary School Tuesday morning.

No one was allowed in or out of the building while bomb disposal experts destroyed the stuffed animal. It was ultimately deemed "non-threatening."

No injuries were reported.

Jokes aside, I am glad it was nothing serious.

BIRTHDAY SPOTLIGHT AT PRESCHOOL

Nick came home really excited. His sweet teachers gave him a birthday present too!

But right after the first picture was taken, he turned his hat like Daddy :)

A BIT OF NICK'S 4TH BIRTHDAY

Well, here it is! Nick is a big 4 year old now. I can not believe how fast time flies. We sure love this little boy of ours, and were excited to spend the day spoiling our Nick.

Last night, Clark and I snuck into Nick's room and put this up. This morning he ran into our room so excited, trying to explain what was on his wall. It was so cute!

Presents!!

Then, we decided to treat our little guy to chocolate chip pancakes.

Then we headed out to the Trafalga they have in Lehi. It was so fun to have Grandma & Grandpa Call, and Aunt Britt there with us. Nick had a lot of fun there. Lots of stuff for him to do.

Family shot.

Nick liked the race car more than this shot shows.

The airplanes. So funny! All he wanted to do was look at the view :) I love his arm on the side.

He had lots of fun on the swinging boat ride too.

But his favorite... was the roller coaster! The first time he had the front seat so he had a good view. Second ride, he's a natural with his arms all ready ;)

After our fun day, we came home and decided it would be fun to take a quick dip in the pool. Then came home and had a happy birthday cupcake. Nummy!

MY VERY HANDSOME BOY

BACK TO PRESCHOOL

Nick excited to go on the bus again. He loved his first days of school, and came home excited to talk about it. The first day he told me they ate french fries and watched movies... Which I don't think was super accurate, haha. But today he came home and said they sang songs and colored, which sounds more like it ;) Either way I am glad he is having fun and doing well.

Day 1

Day 2

This year Nick is going to the P.M. school, three times a week. So we are so glad to see him learning and talking so much and am very grateful for this great opportunity that he has.

ZEEZ & ZOOT

Nick loves his hamsters. They are so fun to play with.

Zeez is the one with Zebra srtipes, and Zoot is the charcoal color. Zeez is quite the mean one, she is always pushing Zoot around, lol. However, Zoot is quite the drama queen. But they are really fun to watch.

SPUR OF THE MOMENT GET AWAY

Well. We had been planning on going camping all week. But the day we had planned on it was raining like crazy. And I was totally sad. But around 1 or so, I decided I wasn't going to let the rain stop us. So we packed up and make a quick stop at the grocery store and we were on the road. We decided to go to Moab, and I am so glad we did. Look at the views! Luckily we had missed the rain there, but it was still pretty damp. The night wasn't that cold, and the next day was beautiful!! I am lucky to have a sweet Hubby who can deal with my constant change of plans. We had a really fun time.

One of the amazing views.

We stayed at the Dead Horse campground.

Family shot.

Me and my guy.

Me and my other guy.

Holding on to my boy for dear life...

Nick had gone to the dentist right before we left, and this green balloon was BRILLIANT. It kept him happy for so long. He was laughing and content the whole ride there.

WHATS FOR BREAKFAST?

Me: Nick, what do you want to eat for breakfast today?

Nick: Sugar.

Me: Oh boy...

WHO CAN BELIEVE AUGUST IS HERE??

Holy cow, this summer has flown. We have had a good relaxing summer so far. Nick is loving having Britt, Grandma and Grandpa Call back from visiting baby Connor :) Clark just got done working a crazy almost 2 weeks straight. And we are so excited for him to take a week 1/2 off here in August. We are planning on doing some fun stuff. We have yet to go camping this summer, so that is definitely on the list. Also, we are gonna paint Nicks room. So were just excited to get to spend time together. Anyway, just kinda babbling so I will stop, but I will be sure to update more later. Happy August!!
