Nick's 1st time at Preschool (Summer Session)

June 21, 2010
Nick's first day of summer preschool. We talked a lot about going to school and how much fun it would be. We reassured Nick that I would pick him up when class was over. We visited the classroom a couple of times before the big day. Nick didn't show any hesitation when we got to school on the 1st day. He found new toys to play with and didn't even look back. Owen was a different story. He didn't want to leave and cried everytime we left Nick for the first 3 days. He is doing much better now and understands that we'll pick Nick up after lunch. Nick loves school and wants to keep going! Yay! Nick came home with ickey ickey or ooey gooey (can't remember what it's called). He shared it with Owen and they played with it all afternoon! Its like playdoh but it doesn't crumble as much.

Caught Ya Being Silly & Sweet

I love these moments. Nick was showing Owen different characters in his Legos sticker book.
These kids love hamming it up for the camera!



Our 16th Anniversary

June 4-6, 2010
We celebrated our 16th anniversary in S. Padre. Even Jack went to the beach with us. We had a great time! We LOVE living so close to S. Padre!!
It was really humid. My camera fogged up fast! Nick and Owen wanted their picture taken by the bears at the front of the hotel.

Who's having fun?



Owen's 1st Haircut (before & after pics)


look at those curls..


all gone... Owen didn't want any part of sitting on the fun motorcycle while getting his haircut. Instead, he sat on the countertop enjoying a lollipop. The lollipop worked instantly in getting him to stop crying. Shew. I hope it goes better next time. Tom and I think his hair looks thicker now.
still pretty cute!


So, Owen copies everything Nick does. He's now wanting to dress like big brother too. : )



Mini Golf & S. Padre May 2010

Our 2nd trip to S. Padre We took Granny & Papa to the beach while they were here. Granny found a bunch of seashells. Papa fed the birds. We all had a great time!

Getting ready to go play miniature golf.

Nick would hit the ball, then put it a foot away from the hole and hit it again. That's one way to speed up the game!




Funny Ideas

Nick has been helping around the house, earning tokens. He really likes cleaning the table! I chuckled when I saw how he was getting to the middle of the table.

Check me out!

Owen was exhausted & snoozing on the couch. Nick snuggled with him for a minute. Then....


Nick placed toys and books all around O. Owen slept the entire time. Not sure what Nick was thinking but it made me laugh!

Easter 2010

Happy Easter!

Here's a pic of Annalise & Isela with Nick & Owen.
We've been friends with Gilbert & Michelle for years. Their daughters are very close in age to our kiddos. Its nice having them nearby again. They've been in Mission for almost 5 years now.
