Nicks 3rd Birthday!

For Nick's birthday we had a party at our house with a few family and friends.

Nick had fun playing with his buddies...

and singing happy birthday, opening presents, and eating yummy cake!

Thank you everyone for coming and celebrating with us!

Nick had so much fun playing with all of his presents!

He loves them all. Thank you!

Mexico!

My sweet, wonderful, very attractive, thoughtful, loving, husband took me on a fabulous trip to Mexico a few weeks ago. It was so sunny and warm and the water was beautiful and crystal clear. Mmmmm, I wanna go back right now.

While we were there we swam with dolphins which was incredible! We got to swim with them for a whole hour and got to do tricks with them like they do at Sea World and such. We got to kiss them, hug them, dance and sing with them, and then we got to do dorsal fin rides and lots of foot pushes (where the dolphins come behind and push your feet so you are pushed across the water standing up).We have a DVD of it all but as much as I like Mac's I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the movie into iMovie. So you will have to settle for the pictures

Halloween!

All dressed up and ready to go!

We sort of let Nick pick out his costume. He loves frogs so he was pretty excited about getting to dress up as one. He did a really good job saying "trick or treat" and "thank you" all night when we went around from house to house. The funniest part was when we were driving home he made Matt keep the light on in the car so he could look at all of his candy. When he wanted a piece of candy he would hold it up and say "trick or treat!" to Matt and I as a way of asking if he could eat it. It was so funny!

Our first stop was Grandpa and Grandma H's. They loved to see the little kiddos all dressed up.

Then we went to Aunt Cathy's and Michelle's and then over to Sam and Rachel's. The Baker's were just getting ready to go out trick or treating so we got a picture of all the great costumes! Matt and I didn't dress up :(

Here is Nick checking out all of his loot when we got home. Isn't he the cutest little frog?!

I'm a Princess

Today we were getting ready for church and Matt and I were chasing Nick around trying to wrestle his shoes onto him and all of a sudden Nick stops running around and looks at me all wide eyed and says in a very awed tone "Chanci, you are a princess"! Matt and I nearly fell over laughing. I usually wear pencil skirts and stuff to church but I got a new dress and it's one of those shirt-dresses with the sash you tie at the waste with a fuller skirt and he thought it looked like a princess dress. Then when I sat down by him he pet my dress and kept saying "you are a princess". Haha. It was so funny. So for the rest of the day any time Matt said something to me or asked me to do something I would say "I don't have to, I am a princess".

Pumpkin Carving

Nick is growing up so quick. He calls Matt "dad" instead of "daddy" and he talks all the time now! Today him and dad carved a pumpkin. Nick didn't like the inside very much but now that it is all cleaned out and carved he loves to just lay by it and look at it!
