Always Celebrating

In looking at some of our past posts, it looks like all that we ever do is celebrate! So, in keeping with the trend, here is another celebration! On September 11, Nick turned 25 (or halfway to 50) and we celebrated with a small family BBQ after church. Here are some pictures of our day.

 Nick with his birthday cupcakes.....Yes, the candle is of Spiderman.

 Nick used some of his Home Depot cards to buy tools for work.

Okay, I know if you are still reading this blog, you are looking for the pictures of Nicole being herself. Well, here they are! Since we have started feeding Nicole homemade baby food, meal times have gotten to be a little messy........okay VERY VERY messy!! She isn't a huge fan of carrots yet, but seems to like green beans so far. She usually has to hold a spoon and sometimes puts a spoon and her fingers in her mouth at the same time.

Nicole is on her soapbox.....hahaha

Here is a video of Nicole eating.

Here's what happens when Nicole sneezes while eating her carrots (at least that explains the carrots by her eye).

Finally, here is a picture of Nick training for the mud run that he will be running this coming Saturday in Lake Elsinore! I can't wait to post pictures after that race!
