A very long update.

It's been awhile since the last update. Lots of memories to share. Enjoy.

On his cousins horse



Flying a kite in Oregon



At a bubble farm with his cousin



Picking berries in front of Grandma's beach house



In a hay tunnel

Life is not all laughs and giggles. Education is a big part of his upbringing.


Be it visiting a Science Museum



or saving the world with his dad


Nic rises to the challenge. We teach him that team work gets the job done



and that exercise is good for the mind, body and soul.



Nic's taken some classes that have helped him become the person he is today.
Here,he's making use of the Acting class he took last summer.


and the swimming class he took last fall



He's also learned that a person has to be comfortable being by themselves.



and he's content with entertaining himself. This was taken during a really LONG drive to Arizona.



He also knows the importance of good dental hygiene (his first ever dental appt.)



I have to insert an obligatory dad teaching. John is already teaching Nic to love speed

Holidays are especially fun for us. Halloween is now our favorite. Nic was Optimus Prime (like who DIDN'T know that), check out the last entry.


Nic went on a hay ride with some cousins




and also rode the train of, "Sleepy Hollow Legends" with some other cousins.




Christmas is Nic's favorite holiday. He got a Wii from his Grandma




And everything Tranformer related




Nic enjoyed all the Holiday parties too





If I had to pick ONE memory to remember for last year, it would have to be this one. I'm glad I caught the moment on (digital) tape:



Yes, Nic leads an amazing life. We're just happy he lets us along for the ride.
