Nick's Official First Crush

This has been so cute. Our first sign of a crush was when we got Nick's class pictures back. And Clark and I would go over each classmate in the class, and the only one he would tell us about was a girl named Carly. It's been so fun. Almost every time he plays, Carly is involved. He will pick her up on the bus, or go to Walmart with her. It is so fun to see Nick grow in this different way.

First Family Pictures of 2012

Now that my hair is growing out a bit, I can start posting pictures of me again. Ha ha ha. Nick wasn't a fan of smiling today, but here's the best one we got of all 3 of us.

Then Nick wanted to take a few...

And a few more...

Some Fun Things We've Been Up To

We celebrated Nick's 5th Birthday!

I made my first Thanksgiving dinner. Clark was so proud, he wanted to document it :) Ha ha.

Well, I am rededicating myself to patching Nick. It has been a struggle for sure. But I had this fun idea to make some fun ones with patterns that Nick picked out himself. Thanks to my Mom for spending lots of time working on these as well!! It was a fun project. And Nick's favorite is Mater for sure :)

Eagle Mountain Holloween 2011

Can I just say, I love Eagle Mountain! It is a perfect place for our little family. So many kids, great neighbors, and loads of activities all the time. This year for Halloween Clark worked so hard on Nick's costume, so we decided we needed to show it off a bit... They had a little carnival at Nolan Park, and Nick was a hit! I think almost everyone we walked by made some cute comments about Nick. And as his mother, I'm a sucker for anyone who adores my boy :)

Oh fine- ;)

Ha ha, it's been months since I've done a real post with PICTURES. And its sad to say I have hardly picked up our camera in so long either... So here's to a new year, and goals... And many, many pictures :) So, here's a bit of catch up pictures which I don't recall if I have posted or not. So, here we go. Enjoy!

These boys are so cute together! They have so much fun.

The fun stuff at Thanksgiving point.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Such a fun Christmas

We were lucky to spend the holiday with both sides of our family. It was so fun to see everyone! And Nick was ADORABLE on Christmas morning, after every present he opened he said in the sweetest voice...

"Oh! This was so nice of Santa to bring me this!"

And of course, that made Clark and I so happy. It was a very good Christmas, and hope that you all had the same.

Jack and Jill - Nick's Version

Jack and Jill went up the hill

to fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crayon

and Jill came tumbling after.

Oh, my boy makes me laugh.

Wedding and a Baby

We are so lucky to have 2 new people join our family. One on each side.

Clark's brother Ethan married Jen in Mexico in November. Sad to have missed it!! We are so excited to get to know her better. Aren't they so cute?!

And baby Coleman arrived safe and sound in late October. What a sweet baby. I can't wait to meet him in May!

Nick Quotes...

The other day we Nick was noticing our wedding pictures. And so I asked him if he was going to get married. And he said yes. :) So I asked him what girl he wanted to marry... He thought for a minute then asked, "Is (Aunt) Brittany a girl?" And I told him she was. And he said "I want to marry Her". It was sooo cute!!

And then today, while Clark was away to work, and Nick and I were playing. Out of the blue he said "Daddy loves Me". And I think that was the sweetest thing in the whole world. That's when you know that you are an amazing Dad.

We have such a cute boy, and it is so fun to have him growing up. We love you Nickolas!!
