PuMpKiN TiMe Of YeAr

Its pumkpin painting time in the Nikolaus house....Jaxon painting his pumpkin. Ryker painting his. Jaxon "licking" his masterpieceRyker really did lick his. He wanted to know what it tastes like. Sadly he liked it. All night long I had to keep him from eating the paint....is that a problem? I have the wierd child that licks paint!!
My HOT hubby!

Finished products. Rykers, Jaxons, mine, Wills. What a cute pumpkin family!!

Just another day in Paradise

Just a day after school. Ryker and I made some cookies.

While Jax Krax did his homework. Homework this year is ridiculous! It takes a good one or two hours EVERY night....and we are only to Kindergarten! Not looking forward to the homework that will be coming in the future! But at least this day there was a yummy treat after!!
Just another day...and so thankful for it.

~ FOOTBALL~

Fall is here (and almost gone) with the season brought the DREADED sport!! FOOTBALL! This year was a little different for me, Jaxon actually got to play on a team! I am not a huge football fan. I dread it every year. But this year with Jaxon on a team I have to admit....I actually enjoyed it! Of course the NFL is a different story.... Team huddle. Jaxons team is the Eagles. He is LOVING be able to play. Even though it is only flag football. He is still so excited! He has an awesome coach and a really good team.
I am horrible at taking pictures when he is playing. Every time he has the ball I am too busy screaming and yelling to take a picture. So the photos are mostly of just him with the team. Yeah I know I am lame!

The mouth guard. He thinks he is really cool to be able to wear a mouth guard.

Not really sure what this picture is about. But i just noticed Ryker in the background cheesing it up! FUNNY!

The season actually ends on Thursday. I am sad to see it go. I am so excited to have boys old enough to play sports. It keeps me busy all week with soccer practice and football practice. But it is so much fun! I love MY EAGLE!!

The season has started...

The soccer season has started! We had our first games on Saturday. Jaxon has been looking forward to the season starting since it ended last year! Willie is coaching Jaxons team. Which they are both loving! Jaxon team decided there names are the Red Rockets!
Jaxon is #5 and takes his soccer VERY seriously! We has a really good team this year! They are really good!


I LOVE this boy!!

Ryker is playing this year too! Its a 5 and under team. I think all of them are 3. So its SO SO fun to watch! Rykes team is named " Orange Crushers" Willie actuallly ended up coaching this game too!

#2! He LOVES his "uniform"! However he was not so much into playing the game on Saturday! He sat most of the game on the sidelines, because he wanted to! He can be such a turd sometimes!!

He did play a little so I got a couple pictures! He is so SO SO stubborn!

All the sudden with school and sports, our life has gotten so SO busy! But I love where we live and that the boys are involved in sports and things with their friends!

I LOVE this turd too!!

First Days Of School...

Jaxon had his first day of school, August 17th! He is LOVING it! We were really worried about him going. Just because he is so strange about new things! It took a year to get him to go to preschool! But he woke up that morning and was ready to go! He is loving his class and his teacher Mrs. Macintosh!! He even gets to walk to and from school with his friend Bear! They go all by themselves and he LOVES it!!

The outfit!
Striking a bit of a modeling pose!

On the walk to school! We live a little more then a block away. I can see the school from the house!

Ryker got dressed and had to have his backpack on too! He cried everyday the whole first week because he had to stay home! He was so ready to start school. In fact on the first day he thought he was staying! THE DRAMA of getting him home was NOT fun!!

Jax by his classroom door. We didnt get to go in with him. I wasnt too sure how he would do with that. But he just walked in without a look back. When he came home from school that day, he informed me that he would be going by himself from now on. He didnt need me....with a broken heart I said....Okay....

Ryker had his first day of Preschool, yesterday. September 10th. Man was he ready! I actually had to go with him because it was parent orientation. Boy was he mad!! SO SO MAD! He did not want his Mom to come. I mean really how humiliating for a 3 year old!

The back side and of course Beady Boo!!(the dog)

Striking a pose!

Ryker walking up the drive way of his preschool! He was practically running to get away from me. He really was humilated that I was coming! How sad is that!!

Playing on the "playground". When it was time to go home he cried and cried. Then finally he yelled, "I am not going home, you havent even left yet. GO HOME." With my head hung in rejection, I yanked him from the swing and hauled his sassy butt to the car!! I CANT WAIT TO LEAVE HIM THERE NEXT WEEK!! But I still love the little Chit!

Its wierd. All the sudden neither of my boys need me, other then to cook their food and wash their sheets in the middle of the night, when they have an accident. I feel rejected and scorned!! But happy that they are growing up....I guess....

Rykers mustache!! He always like to act like he is a "guy" he talks in this really deep, ugly voice! Well the other day he got into the markers and made himself a mustache! luckily for me his face was so dirty that it wiped right off with the dirt! I love this kid!!

My 2 little chits!

While the boys and I were up getting the grandkids pictures done. I stayed with Lora for a few days. Lora and I had Kristy take some more pics of our kids! There are alot of pictures on this post! But they all turned out so cute, how do you choose??Jax on the tracks. He was being so lame with smiling!
