First Soccer Game...

Nico is playing soccer this year. He really loves it...for the first 10 to 15 minutes. Then, he's usually distracted by the coeds. He had his first game a couple of weeks ago. He always wants to be goalie. The thing is, there's no goalie at this age. One day, sweet boy!
Making sure he gets every drop of OJ off his upper lip!
On the sidelines, taking it all in.
Family shot after the win. We're not supposed to be keeping score, but who are we kidding?!

A Trip to the Zoo...

We are loving SPRING!!! We have already made many trips to the zoo. Here are some pictures from a recent trip with some friends.
Nico and Marigny on the carousel.
Nico feeding the lorikeet. Notice he's keeping his eyes on the bird and not on the camera. The last time he had the opportunity to do this he freaked out the second the bird landed on his hand.

Bicycle and One More Birthday Celebration...

Nico got a bike for his birthday. A BIKE! My baby is big enough to ride a bike!?! He loves it and is really getting the hang of it. Poor little guy has my chicken legs and just doesn't have any strength in those tiny muscles!
Last couple of adjustments from Papa before taking off.
We went to AL to visit Granny the Sunday after Nico's birthday and there was more cake! This boy is SO loved...and he deserves every bit of it!

Birthday Festivities...

Our little man is 4. Four! Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday my water broke and we were heading to the hospital to welcome our bundle of joy and finally find out if we were having a girl or boy. We have experienced nothing but joy from this little guy. He lights up our lives and adds so much to every day. It's such a pleasure to celebrate him...and boy did we?!
Licking the spoon!
Monday afternoon we made cupcakes for his party (Tuesday at Chick-fil-a) and to bring to school on his actual birthday on Wednesday.
This year's theme: Legos...specifically Ninjago Legos. The yellow cupcake are supposed to be Lego faces.
And the gift tags made to look like Lego blocks. The goodies included a Hot Wheels car, raisins and Star Wars fruit snacks.
Making a wish...
At home, after the party, with all of his presents.
Wednesday morning I treated him to a doughnut breakfast. The owner at the shop gave him an extra doughnut complete with candles!
Wednesday night there were more...you guessed it...cupcakes!!! You can't really see it here, but his face was covered with crumbs.
Saturday we had all of our family over to celebrate. We had a such a great time catching up and visiting with everyone. We had family come up from Alabama, over from Knoxville and Georgia. Thanks to everyone that made our little man's day so special. We love you all!

Happy Valentine's Day...

Star Wars...

Nico is all boy! He has recently discovered a love for all things Star Wars. The thing is, he has never seen the movies (honestly, neither have I). David was so excited when he found out that the saga was going to be rereleased in theaters. The boys took in a Sunday matinee. A fan for life? I think so!

Show and Tell...

This picture is from a couple of weeks ago. Nico had his first Show and Tell at school and what did he bring?! LEGOs, of course! Ever since I pulled out a huge box of David's old Legos around Thanksgiving, this child has been obsessed. He and David can play Legos for days. I love sitting back and watching their relationship grow. David is an awesome dad and Nico is an awesome son. I love my boys!
