Goodbye pool season :(

It was a great pool season this year! Nicholas learned how to swim under water and started jumping off the diving board. Jason started 'jumping' off the diving board too but more importantly started doing the doggie paddle to swim on his own!

Nicholas' 3 year old stats

Nicholas passed his 3 year checkup with flying colors! He didn't even cry when he had to have his finger pricked for a lead test! Here are his latest stats:

                                 weight = 36 lbs = 84th percentile
                                 height = 39 inches = 79th percentile

A day at the beach!

Although Mom completely enjoyed a whole day to herself, I think the boys had even more fun going to the beach with Dad and Auntie Aimee and Kylie. Uncle Jimmy and Auntie Karin even came down to get in on the fun!

Happy 3rd Birthday Nicholas!

This year was the first time we hosted a kids party for Nicholas' birthday. The weather didn't end up being very nice but Nicholas still had a blast with a traveling baby petting zoo set up in the garage and bouncy houses in the backyard. The petting zoo was a huge hit with the kids with baby ducks, baby chicks, baby bunnies, baby goats, a baby sheep and even a baby pot belly pig! Nicholas chose a shark themed party and it was a great choice! We had shark cupcakes for the kids party and then a shark cake for the family party afterwards. Hosting two parties in one day was very tiring! We were fortunate enough to have a photographer come for the kids party so we could really enjoy the event without having to worry about capturing all the excitement. SO worth it when it only cost us a trade of old clothes and toys the boys have grown out of. On Nicholas' actual birthday, we took the morning off from work and took him to the ecotarium. After experiencing our first three year old tantrum, Nicholas got to spend the rest of the day at work with Dad and just went into daycare to share cupcakes with his friends before heading home for cake and his favorite dinner - chicken nuggets and french fries :)

Nicholas at Soccer Camp

Well he may have only played half the time and Dan was probably on the field just as much but Nicholas had a blast at his first soccer camp!

Jason's First Haircut

Well it took almost two years but Jason FINALLY went for his first haircut! He did such a great job and didn't cry once!
