Pretty day at the P-A-R-K

Headed over to Finch Park this morning, since it was so pretty outside!

Nicholsons go to Nascar!

Today we headed to Texas Motor Speedway for the NASCAR races! This was my first time (and the boys) to go and we had some AWESOME seats!! Notice the picture above...I brought my crappy camera today and I'm not even zooming in...we were THAT close!

Gagey loved his "ear puffs" and everything that flew in the sky! (helicopters, army jets)

Little guy in the upper left of the picture is Jeff Gordon. Little guy in the red...Carl Edwards. Yep...that close!

Boys in their "ear puffs" watching the cars go by

Mommy's favorite...JEFF GORDON!

Corbin's favorite...Juan Pablo Montoya

Daddy and Gage were rooting for Mark Martin...although when we were leaving Gage was crying uncontrollably and saying "I wanna watch Jeff Gordon win!"

Okay...this is a pic of the boy that NEVER...I repeat NEVER takes a nap...yet he fell asleep in the middle of a Nascar race...go figure.

P.S. Excuse the blog chaos...I'm trying to learn new things! It will be a work in progress for a while. :)

Sick boys!

About an hour after picking the boys up from school, I sat down to read them a new book we just got from the Scholastic Book Fair. (not really fair...just the order form, but I used to love the book fair!) Anyway, as we are reading I noticed that I was being heated on both sides. Gage had a temperature of 101 and Corbin's was right around 100. I didn't want to waste anytime in getting them medicine so I called the doctor and was right in within 10 minutes! (love my doctor) Got checked for H1N1 and strep...both came back negative. If the boys get much worse, I'll bring them back tomorrow. Doctor said it could either be just a virus or too early to detect the strep or flu. I am praying that they are fever free in the morning. Gage had a good day with a small fever, but Corbin was pretty icky all day. Keep my lil men in your thoughts...poor Corbin may have to miss his last soccer game. :(

Meet my Lil Bruisers!

Since this is the final week of being the coach of the Bruisers, I thought I would let everyone meet the little men on my soccer team.

#5: My FAVORITE Bruiser!!! Corbin and another little boy made the majority of the goals this season. (probably all but 5 goals) We are super proud of him!

Our last game is this Saturday, and although it's going to be sad, it's also going to be a relief! Coach Shawna took on way too much this semester between 5 classes and coaching 5 year olds! I'm ready for my Saturdays to be a little less busy!

I would also love to say that this was my one and only time of coaching, but when your 3 year old says "Mommy is going to be my soccer coach too!" , I have a feeling that it would be a lie!

Dear Doggies...

Dear Winnie, Jasper, & Jenkins,

Aunt Shawna seems to think the time has come to take a little break. Not forever...just a trial separation. You have truly been "baby's best friend" and you constantly entertain me, but I seem to forget at times that I am not a four-legged furry friend. I walk on 2 legs and can talk, although I do occassionaly like to sample your food. Although I'm not completely sure why my favorite aunt thinks this way...it might be better if I go and hang out with my cousins every now and then.

XOXOX,

Your best buddy, Lincoln

P.S. This is just a plea to get me to Aunt Shawna's house more often.

Halloween Fun!

I know it's the day before Halloween, but we had a lot planned, so I'm making this my Halloween post. (plus don't think I'll be getting the boys back into full hair and makeup tomorrow night...you should see the color of my tub)


My 2 angels dressed as devils.

Is it a bird? (well, kinda) Is it a plane?It's...

ROBIN! Lincoln joined us for some fun today!

Lincoln loves suckers!

(think this is the 2nd-3rd sucker...he REALLY loves suckers!)

The firefighter clowns were a big hit to Corbin & Gagey...me too, because they gave me a huge hand sanitizer keychain thingy. Cool!

This sucker isn't open...but he sure wishes it was, and it didn't stop him from sucking on it anyway.

Guess what? Corbin & Gagey love suckers too!!

Probably my two favorite pics of the night...Gage and Corbin love Aunt Michelle's sister, Marissa. We went to Michelle's church to a festival and every 5 seconds, the boys were asking for and wanting to see Marissa. They look at her in awe and get so excited when she would pop up all through the night. So flippin cute!

Corbin waiting in one of the lines for a ride. It was pretty cold out at this point.

hee hee hee. Joey might not want me to post this, but it was friggin funny. Lincoln had big gloves on and he swung and popped Joey with his hand right when I took the picture. If ever in need of a good laugh...I'll refer to this pic. (look at the glove flying in the background..lol)

The boys went to jail for a while.

Lincoln and Gage are "tasting the rainbow."

Such a fun day...the boys went to bed at about 10:30pm and looked like this at about 10:36pm.

Happy Halloween everyone!

4 Little Pumpkins

Last night was pumpkin carving time...I always love carving pumpkins...especially digging out the "guts!" I showed Gage and Corbin how to do it, then watched them walk into the kitchen and get spoons to dig out the pumpkin seeds. Gage, especially, loves to play in some dirt...so this was surprising. Of course he's all about doing whatever Corbin does...


Concentrating on the pumpkin. (One bad thing about this new camera...it captures every little detail...this pumpkin really doesn't look as gross as this pic makes it out to be..we got it for a steal at Walmart though...so who cares!)


OOOH...SPOOKY


This pic CRACKS ME UP! Corbin has the "hurry-up-and-take-the-picture-mom-Charlie-Brown-is-on" look and Gage is off in his own little world...funniest part is in one hand, Gage is holding a wad of play money, and in the other hand...this creepy ball he got at the toy store that has floating eyeballs in it. The floating eyeball ball was looking at the camera too...creepy ball.
(click on pic and check out the creepy ball)


Decent enough picture...but again...camera pointed out the dirty bricks on the house from all the flippin rain!

Stay tuned for Halloween pics people!
