Just some pictures.

Just some pictures off of my phone that make me smile + sum up our recent times with Nico.

 

 

Freescale Family Day

Freescale put on a family day today, and Nico had a blast! Plenty of games, rides, a petting zoo, music, and food. My mom and I had a shopping day at the Wimberly trade days, so just the boys went to this event.

 

Fun rides. I want to be 3 again!

He brought up his experience of controlling a robot quite a few times later that day.

 

 

 

 

MWH. Must Work Harder... 



I was walking out the door to go to work the other day, and Nico was proudly walking behind me (with blanket in hand, ofcourse). He yelled back at David, "I'm going to work too." And then he looked up at me and said, "you will need to drop me off. I'm going to Freescale."

Trick-or-Treat! Best Halloween yet.

Words cannot express how fired up Nico was when this costume came in the mail last week. He wore it every single day and ran around fighting us.

I love Halloween. And I love this boy.

We made an appearance over at my parents house so they could see Raphael in action.

Showing us his moves...

We met up at Derek's house to have a few munchies and then go trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. His other buddy, Greyson, met us too.

They ruled the neighborhood. Nico knew the drill this year.

 

It was so fun to see him even more excited about it this year.  He made it nearly a couple hours and was yet again, one of the last ones standing in the neighborhood. Won't forget this one. Best Halloween yet.

Preschool Halloween carnival

Preschool has been working out so much better for Nico lately. He loves his teacher, Ms Carla, and he has quite a few friends! He most often mentions the names Evelyn, Cal, and Colt.

David says that he can tell that everyone likes Nico. The other day when he dropped him off, he heard a few of the kids say, "Yessss! Nico's here!" And also heard a mom telling her child, "See, I told you Nico would be here today." What can I say, he's the life of the party.

When my mom picked him up the other day, she mentioned that he stopped on the way out to tell multiple other teachers AND the preschool director goodbye. Hearing these stories cracks me up. Ohhh, to be Nico.

His school had a Halloween carnival day, and they invited the parents to come for a parade that morning. Cute idea! Here are a few shots of his classroom...

They walked around the school for their little parade. And ofcourse, our guy has to be the one that is holding his teacher's hand...

 

 

Here are his classmates! Difficult to get 10 children looking at a camera at once, but hey, we tried twice...

It's nice to know that he is enjoying himself there and will already be acclimated to a structured, school environment once kindergarten rolls around in a few years! (But please, let's not make that TOO soon, right?!) Really happy with his experience there, and you can't beat the cute little projects he brings home every week.

The big 3-0 in Mexico!!

Turning 30 isn't so bad when you get to celebrate at a new, all-inclusive adults only resort in Cozumel, Mexico!! Totally had a blast with David on this weekend getaway.

We ventured out and went to a Secrets resort, rather than our usual Iberostar routine. It was great! Give me sunshine on a beautiful beach, a nice resort, and a drink in my hand, and what is there to complain about?!

The resort workers made us feel special since we were preferred clients, meaning we only paid a little extra in order to have some special amenities. These included a separate pool as well as a special lounge with tvs, a serviced bar, and intermittent snacks put out during the day. Overall, this was a much smaller resort than what we are used to, but I really liked that about it.

We met a few other couples on this trip too, and we went to dinner as a table of 8 for the first night, on my actual birthday. We balanced mostly relaxing time by ourselves and occasionally hung out with hilarious couple from Green Bay.

Here's the view from our patio. 10 steps to the pool!

 

The beach was a quick walking distance from the front door of our room.

We had beautiful weather all 3 days.

The main restaurant for breakfast and lunches.

We did manage to have a few pics taken of ourselves this trip, but it was nice to keep the phones and ipads locked up a majority of the time!


Here's one before dinner. We clean up halfway decent. Too bad it's a little blurry.

In the lounge.

Watching baseball playoffs after dinner. Go figure.

Watching the sunset from a nearby rooftop.

Love our life together. Happy birthday to me!
