Goodbye.....

Goodbye to my good friend...Jetta...the car! We finally sold my car that I dreamed of getting. I remember when we found that car, I was beyond happy. The lights inside were purple and red. I loved that it had a sunroof. It was just what I wanted. It was the first car I owned. We had it payed off for a few years even though we had to pay for many costly repairs......We just knew that it was time for us to get rid of it and find a new car. Now, we are looking for a new car, so I drive the truck (eeek) and Nik is driving his jeep. I keep waiting for a phone call saying hes stuck somewhere, but it's the jeep. I hope my car enjoys her new home, I know I will miss it!

Magic Trick

Since my plan is to turn my blog into a book. I thought I would do videos in seperate posts. Cause you know we aren't wizards **haha** and our pictures don't move. But, this is pretty cute of Nelle....well I say so.

Hopefully it works. enjoy!

June

This post contains a lot of pictures. Our computer broke in May and so I have not been able to blog. But, here I am. Instead of doing a lot of little posts I thought I would do one about June. June has been so much fun. I spent the first part of my vacation cleaning my house. Then I have spent as much time as I can with Nikelle. She is getting so big. She loves to play dress up, especially with her cousin Anni. They have so much fun with the tutu's and shoes. Nelle has also been into performing magic acts (I will post in another post). She loves to have her pictures taken. We are also working on potty training. Hopefully, by the time I get back to work she will have it down. Nikelle has also formed this thing where all she wants to wear is dresses. So, each day she picks out her dress to wear. I was so glad that the middle of June got nice so we could start going to the pool. She loves to swim. Summer break goes by too fast!

Anni and Nelle- eating cheese balls and all dressed up.

She loves her trampoline.

Nik turned the big 30!

Nik turned the big 30 this year. Anyone who knows Nik well, knows that he loves Mcdonalds. We had a surprise birthday party at Mcdonalds featuring Transformers. He was super excited for Transformers because it came out the night of his birthday. So, that Tuesday night we went and saw the midnight showing, and it was so much fun. Nelle was super excited for her dad's birthday. She even went and told him things that we were doing, and I had to play dumb. He said he never could figure out why she was talking about a Transformer cake. Nik got to enjoy a day golfing with his dad and brother while we got everything together. I do have to say, that for once he had no idea what I was doing. YAY!

The surprise!


Thanks to everyone that came!

Overwelming update!!

Happy Easter!!

I thought I would start my large update with Easter pictures. This might make me feel like I have been keeping up. Well, I made a goal to try to update at least once a week....so here it goes. I have all these pictures and frankly just get to lazy to walk in the computer room and wait for my computer to read the pictures. I really miss my laptop! But, anyways!!

Easter was fun. Nikelle is getting to where she understands things and loves waking up to things. She carries on conversations about things and here lately we have had to have her slow down, because she tries to spill to much out at once. She loved to gather the eggs, and thought the Easter Bunny was silly to hide her eggs in the house. We also had to tell her the bunny ate some, because there was 3 missing, and she was very concerned. I really love my little girl and I hope that she had a great Easter...We like to say she did!

Here is a priceless moment.....Last year her dad taught the kids how to make a hat out of Mcdonald happy meal boxes. Nelle gets real excited when they give her a box (yes, she gets a donald day) Well, she had to go show her dad, and then pose for pictures. These are the days we will cherish!
