Melt Bar & Grill

Yummy!!!!

Nothing says I ate way to much like this Big Popper Sandwich!!!!  I decided against adding bacon....why I am not sure now after eating a deep fried sandwich :)



Until our next "Melt" adventure......

My Little Fish

Nico has been swimming since he was 6 months old, and he has turned into quite the Fish.  For Christmas Santa brought him his first pair of goggles, which of course had to be his favorite color Green!!!  We are so proud of all that he has accomplished over the years....it's funny when we are at a pool people come up to me and say "How old is he?  He is such a good swimmer."  

You never know he might be the next.......watch out world here comes Nico!!!

Until our next "goggle" adventures........

Time Flies!

It's hard to believe that 14 years has flown by and how lucky we are to have the great life we have created together.  Seems like just yesterday, I was 20 years old getting ready after an ice storm the night before to walk down the aisle to marry the man of my dreams.  I look at this picture and can't believe how much has changed but all of these people are still in our lives riding the roller coaster of life! 

Happy Anniversary to the Man of my Dreams and to the best Father Nico could ask for!!!

Here's to another 50 years and can't wait to continue our adventures of life!!!!

Christmas Traditions

Every year we decorate our Gingerbread House before Christmas.  It's always a fun time to put our artistic abilities to work!!!!

Getting the stuff ready to put on the house!



Daddy Decorating the roof!!



How cute?!?!



Our perfect little house!

Until our next "Gingerbread" adventure.......

Sled Riding Fun!!!

Nico & Daddy went sled riding, and Nico didn't stop for almost 4 hours!!!  It was quite the adventure as Nico loved EVERY minute of sledding down the hill until Daddy as finally pooped out!!!

Wheeeee!!!!

How much fun is this Daddy!!  Let's go again!!!

Until our next "sledding" adventure....

Family Cookie Day 2012

It's a tradition in our family for everyone to get together to make Cookies!  Aunt Pam always generously hosts a great day filled with cookies, candies and so much more.  As our family continues to grow the traditions continue on and are passed on now to the 3rd generation and will continue beyond!  Nico is definitely blessed to have such a big loving family!

"The Cookie Gang"

Mommy &| her favorite little baker!

Until our next "cookie" adventure.......

Finding Nemo 3D

Over Nico's Christmas Break we decided to see our first 3D movie, Finding Nemo!!!  I have to admit it was pretty cool to see the fish in 3D, but definitely not something I'd do on a regular basis.  Nico was a trooper he got about three-fourth the way through the movie with the glasses on.....which for him is pretty good.  

My Cool Boys

Maybe I should of gotten the kid glasses too!

Another fun filled family day for the record books....reminds me how lucky I really am to have these two boys in my life!!!

Until our next "3D" adventure..........



Elfie

Elf on a Shelf came into our lives this year and did all sorts of silly things.  Nico named his Elf, Elfie and every night Elfie would go back to the North Pole to report if Nico was a good boy that day.  If you can believe Elfie was sort of ornery in our house...he was found in all kinds of places and loved Nico toys. 

Sadly on Christmas Day Elfie went back to the North Pole after watching Nico open his gifts from Santa.....apparently he made the Good List!  He of course wrote Nico a note before he left and told him he'd see him next year!!!

Here are some of our Elfie adventures:



Crazy Elfie driving the remote control car

Elfie is a great addition to our family, and so thankful of all the memories he gave us and can't wait to see what next years adventures bring!!

Until our next "Elfie" adventure......
