Nikolaus Family Reunion

The Nikolaus Reunion was a lot of Fun! We tried to beat the

heat by playing a lot of water games!! Here is my 92 year old

Grandpa with his 5 children and their spouses.

Chey and Maggie

Uncle Bill brought a blow up water slide that was

a BIG hit!!!

"Messin' With Ella"

We decided to mess with ella and try some glasses on her. I think she looks really intelligent!

She is usuallly a good sport to let us play around with her. She's probably thinking "oh brother, these guys are driving me crazy."

Happy 16th Birthday Kaleb!!!

As you can see,Kaleb wasn't to happy that I made him take a picture with a Birthday hat on, but I eventually got him to smile. You have to be a little cheesy at 16, right! I can't believe he is 16! I have been spoiled rotten having him as a son. He has always been an example to the rest of his family. He is my right hand man, I don't know what I would do without him!! I hope he always continues to be the wonderful young man that he is!! I love you Kaleb! I hope you have a wonderful 16th birthday. I am looking forward to you helping me run errands once we get your license. : )

Girls Night

It was Fathers and Sons, so me and livvy decided to party!!

After dinner out, we came home and put on these

Chocolate face masks. Boy, did they smell good!

Crazy livs!!

Instead of eating each others masks, we decided on a blizzard.
It was goooood.
We finished the night watching a "chick"flick.
We love the men in our home, but it's always fun to have a
little girl time!!

Pinewood Derby

Kyle worked hard to help Joey and Josh make

their "Mario" and "Bowser" derby cars.
It was their 1st Pinewood Derby so they were
pretty excited when the chance came to race.

They had it decorated really cool!

We were hoping the cars would at least make

it down the track, so it was cool when we

finished 6th and 7th.

Olivia turns 11

After a wonderful Spring Break, we came home to celebrate Olivias 11th birthday. She woke up to find the ripstick she wanted(how she rides it, is beyond me). Unfortunately the weather was cold and windy so she didn't get to ride it very much, so to make up for it I crazily agreed to a party/sleepover. She ended up having a great time with cousins and friends dancing and eating Ice Cream sundaes.

Spring Break

Spring Break sure was a lot of Fun!! We stayed in the Marriot with Kyles Family and had a blast!
We went to a Spring Training game, the Wildlife Animal Park and of course went swimming!! It was fun for us to spend time with family and get away for awhile. I

Congradulations Jarom!!

I just had to write and say Congrats to Jarom. He just finished his 7th grade basketball career Undefeated!! It sure was a fun year. They had a really good team that worked well with each other. He said he'll miss the games but not the practices! I won't really miss the practices either. Well, we have a few weeks break before the baseball season starts and then we'll have all the kids playing.

A Few Basketball Shots

Here are a few pics of Jarom as a Snowflake Lobo Jr. High Baketball player. My camera doesn't take very good action shots, so I waited until he was standing still. I love those skinny little legs under those shorts!! He's going to kill me for writing that, but oh well.

The Dirt Bike

Uncle Nik, bought a new dirt bike that is just the right size for the kids. He couldn't wait to come and show them and see if they'll "fit". To say they were excited is an understatement!!! To say mom is scared is another understatement !! I do trust Uncle Nik will be a good instructor though.

Fun in the Snow!!!

Not Long after moving in, we had a nice little snow storm. Of course the kids had to get out and throw a few snowballs around. Luckily I didn't get caught in the crossfire!
