Nikson's Potty Training Reward!!!

So we totally bribed Nikson last October when he got potty trained with his own four wheeler if he could be a big boy and go potty in the big boy potty and also stop drinking chocolate milk at night AND sleep in his own bed (yes he had a lot of issues to overcome!)!! Well he did it, so we kept our end of the bargain and got him his very own four wheeler!!! He LOVES it to say the least! He slept with his keys for the first 2 months and carried them everywhere and wouldn't stop asking if he could ride it every hour of every day!! He luckily listens very well to Jake's instruction on it and has learned to ride it very well for a 3 year old!! (It's still pretty scary stuff if you ask mom!!)
Turning it on for the first time!!

Ready to GO!!!

Let's Go Fly a Kite!!

What better way to spend a nice day outside than flying a kite!!? Thing is...I am not sure who likes it more out of Jake and Nikson!! This is our first kite it looks like a Drake Mallard! So Jake and Nikson love flying the kite so I decided since this one is so simple I would upgrade them to a more sophisticated kite! Or complicated I should say! Those pictures will come some day!!

Bye Bye Tonsils....

Our little man had such large tonsils and he snored SO loud that the doctor decided they needed to come out. Nikson is so paranoid about going to the doctor in fear of getting a shot or something painful that we decided not to tell him about this surgery. The morning of we had to be to the surgical center by 6:15 am, so we just carried him out to he car and were on our way. We just kept telling him not to worry about anything and try and sleep! When we got there he was pretty chipper considering he is not an early morning person (hence the first picture you see)! They gave him medicine to help him not be nervous to leave us and at that time we told him what was about to happen! It all happened pretty quickly which was nice so that Jake and I didn't have too long to worry. Its been about 2 weeks and he is finally starting to feel little to no pain. Everyone has told us that kids heal faster and it will be so easy, but my child must not be a quick healer. It has been a rough 2 weeks of misery for my little guy. It breaks my heart to see him in pain. Luckily I know its for the best and once the pain is completely gone he will live a better life not being sick all the time and sleeping better!

Happy little Nikson!

Bye bye tonsils and adenoids!!

Nikson Turns The Big 3!!

My sweet baby boy turned 3 this January! Wow! Time goes by so fast...it seems like yesterday that he was born. Crazy! Well he had an eventful week long birthday! We first celebrated with my family at Aunt Jen's house (I forgot my camera so we are lacking those pictures!), then on his actual birthday, we took him to Chuckie Cheese! It was so much fun! Grandma Chris and Grandpa Denny came also Jen and Emma. Then Saturday we did a combined Mickey Mouse Birthday with Brigham Wilcox who is Nikson's friend! Their birthdays are two days apart! This was his first "friend" birthday! He was a little shy still but seemed to have a good time! That evening we went to Jake's parents house for Jake and Nikson's combined dinner party. I promised Nikson that I would make him a Mickey Mouse cake to take with us...so I started baking away as soon as all the kids left our house that morning. I started making frosting and was running out of time so I asked for Jake's help! He started decorating the Mickey cake and was doing such a great job that I asked him to do the whole thing!! Nikson was so excited once it was all done! He kept telling us "thats the best Mickey Mouse cake EBER"!!! I am so glad he had such a good 3rd birthday! I love you Nikson! You truly are the best little boy with the sweetest personality I could ever ask for!

(I always put the pictures in the wrong order of when they happened..sorry!)
