JUST AN UPDATE

Time seems to be flying lately. The summer has quickly past and the busy fall is here. Nick has started back up his Preschool at the Elementary. He seems to be doing quite well this year, and he is talking so much more than last year. His tutors and teachers are very pleased, as are we :) It is so fun to hear him talking so much, some in full sentences. And to hear the things that he gets excited over. It is just fun to watch him grow and learn. I love when he comes home and talks about his friends and teachers and what hes doing. I just have the cutest kid ever!

I am doing well. Having some spare time during the week is nice. Being motivated is the hard part, lol. I have been busy though, I actually have been helping some friends with a company they have started up. And I have been in charge of the Social Media aspect of it. It is fun to do. And it has been a while since I've felt... important. Like in the business world. Lol. If that makes sense? Anyway, I am enjoying helping out.

Clark is doing well too. He is still working nights, and getting busier there too. They are very short handed on nights right now. But he is good at what he does and is trying hard to stand out. I am very proud of him.

You know what I love. 3 days off in a row :) We are lucky too, Nick has school on Fridays and Clark also has Fridays off. So we actually get some time together. We have little date days! We actually do like fun little things, the other day we had a picnic at the park. And last week we went to D.I. and picked out our silly Halloween outfits. And it is just refreshing to be able to have a few hours with my hubby.

Anyway, no pictures this post. But I will try and be better at that. As for now, I'm going to stop jabbering.

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.
