Saydee is ONE

I am not really sure how it happened, but the little baby girl in this photo just turned ONE.

 

 Happy Birthday Saydee

We have more photos but my husband has a way of cutting of peoples heads when he takes photos :-)
This day didn't exactly go as planned for Chris, me and Nick. We had pictures scheduled which ran us a little late but we made it just in time to catch the last part of her presents and to sing Happy Birthday to our perfect little Niece!

More Birthday Celebrations

First of all let me start with telling all of our friends and family how blessed we are to have you in our life. Thank you for loving Nicholas and making his birthday special. My hope is that he will take a look at this blog when he is older and know how special he is to all of us.

Unfortunately my mom has been sick and I know she really wanted to join in on his celebration. (Mom, I love you and we will make sure you get some time with Nicholas this month or next month!)

Below are some pictures and videos of his celebrations throughout the week. 

Nicholas LOVES his mornings with Cynthia and Ethan. David, Cynthia and Ethan made his birthday so special. Here are a few pictures of his big birthday celebration with his best friend-Ethan and his "CC"

We also went to CJ and Christina's house for dinner last week and he had yet another gift to open up!

Friday night Alison came to town really late. Nicholas was sleeping BUT the next morning he woke up to a BIG BIRTHDAY SURPRISE from his Auntie Ali.

 

And then came Sunday. He saw his Papa, Great Aunt Susan and Great Gramma.

 

Again, thank you to everyone. I can't wait to see my mom and have her enjoy a day pain free with Nicholas.

Nick's Birthday Vacation

I have the best brother and sister in law in the world. About a month ago, we decided to take Nicholas to Kansas City for a birthday vacation. Stephanie texted me to ask if we would mind if she and the girls made a cake for him. We arrived Saturday night to find balloons and presents! The next day Andy took us to a petting zoo. We had so much fun! We are so thankful for you guys!

C3PO

A few months ago Chris took Nick to Juanita's house and Nick found C3PO in an old box down in the basement. Ever since then C3PO goes everywhere Nick does.

He takes C3PO with him everywhere he goes.
Oh and that is his Star Wars jacket that he picked out this morning!

Every Single Day, Nick asks to watch Star Wars. Here he is snuggled in his Star Wars blanket on this cold afternoon!

What can I say, the kid loves his Star Wars!

Nick's 1st Carnival Ride

Nick went on his frist ride Friday night. I was shocked at how well he did. When we got there he immediately went to the cars and he wanted to ride them so badly that he tried to climb under the fence. He was too little to ride them though, so we took him to a different ride, the carousel. He loved it immediately ofcourse, because of the horses. Then he rode on the fish ride. I wasn't sure how he would react going by himself, but he loved every minute of it and then kicked and screamed when it was time to get off of it.



 

 

Da Bears-Never Go Out of Style

Nick has been obsessed with his ABC's. Every morning he wakes up and after he asks for his C3PO, he immediatley says, "How will I get my ABC's?" He also has to put his "ABC's" on the board before he goes to sleep-which is pretty much just his way of staying up a little bit longer! The reason for this post though is to show you the Chicago Bears outfit he is wearing. This paticular outfit was either Chris' or Andy's when they were Nick's age. Juanita dropped off a bunch off Chris' old clothes and I must say they are all in great condition and pretty cool too!
