Nixon turns 3!!






On July 1 Nixon turned three. I remember the day I went into labor with him so clearly. He entered the world at 8:51 p.m. 12 days early. My first words when I saw him was he's a little monkey! He had hair down his back and on his ears. Oh how I hoped it would fall off. He was so dark complected I had people question who the father was. Seriously! Luckily, my dad was down visiting and it was obvious were his genes came from. He is so different from Trey and yet so alike. Here are some of the things I love about Nixon.

*his dimples
*he is double-jointed in both thumbs
*he is left-handed
*he knows and sings every word to the SpongeBob theme song
*he laughs super hard at funny things
*tells me "I wuv ewe mom" about 50 times a day
*tells Trey "you my best friend Trey"
*likes back scratches and likes to give them too
*he is a skinny shrimp I picture him as a horse jockey when he grows up
*can make Ledger laugh the hardest
*loves animals and shows no fear towards them
*doesn't mind being the side-kick ie Luigi, Patrick Star, Hulk

Unfortunatley, we weren't able to throw him a real party. Tyson was out of town for work, and most of his friends were out of town for the 4th. I managed to take all three solo to the opening of Ice Age 3. We even survived a 20 minute fire alarm. Thank you skittles! Happy Birthday Nixon!!

Weiser Parade and Fourth of July






Our good friends "The Wallaces" told us about this great parade in Weiser for some fiddle thing. It is an awesome parade, and they also have a carnival where they like to rake you over the coals for the crappiest prizes, and have gnarly, fat, white dudes rap carnie songs to you. It was fun and the kids had a blast getting too much candy.

Then for the 4th of July we went to our other good friends "The Van Tassells" we had a bbq and shot off fireworks. The kids found a frog. I don't even know when the last time I held a frog was, so yippee me.

Here are some picts!!

Ledger




Ledger is growing up fast. He still has that gray blue eye color that most babies are born with. Trey and Nix both had and still have dark brown eyes. No dimple which I am sad about. He had his 6 month checkup today along with Nixon's 3 yr. checkup. He is getting around everywhere. Luckily, still at a slow pace. I am not looking forward to another year of the baby gate:( He doesn't really talk a bunch, just screams usually because Nixon is dragging him around by the feet!!
His stats: 17lb 14 oz
27-3/4" long
and very incredibly cute!!!
