Nik's light saver video

This is Nik showing off his light saver skills.

The Super Shot at the fair

This is the Super shot at the fair it is like a mini demon drop it takes you up and then drops you down very quickly! Here is Nik and Jason before they went up.

This is them as the were coming down. Nik's face was priceless coming down I could not tell if he liked it, he looked shocked, but when they got off he said he loved it.
We ate lots of bad food and some the animals and rode the rides, it was a nice day out got a little sun even its been in the low 80's all week. Nik also got 2 more fish today for his aquarium, 2 sucker fish and a black and white spotted Molly fish.

Rachels 1st day of 5th grade!!!

Here is Rachel on her 1st day of 5th grade! This was her after school, she was at her dads house in the AM he took some pics and will forward them to me. She likes her teacher and seemed pretty happy when she came home. She was happy no homework yet. I think she will do very well in 5th grade.

Here is Rachel from the other day being silly!

Niks 2nd day!

Much happier today!

Showing off his Star Wars book bag. He was so happy this year that he could buy lunch, its included in his tuition so if he likes what they make at Andrews he can eat their lunch or bring his own. Also he is excited that he has his own desk this year. Also he is the library helper this week and all by himself he gets to take the books up to the library, such a big boy!.

Niks 1st day of 1st grade.

Nik had his first day of school, he looks thrilled in this picture, he was not into taking his picture this year. He had a great day he seemed to enjoy it. We toured his school yesterday now that they are moved into the new campus in Willoughby and it is beautiful. He got to visit the horses today and he had art and Spanish class today.

Rachel goes tomorrow, I had my first college class today with Jason it was ok there are no tests just 3 papers that I need to write and attendance is part of our grade too.

Nik lost a tooth

Nik lost one of his big front teeth today, the other one is loose too so that one will be soon. We packed up the book bags today to get everyone ready for school.

New hair cuts

Nik and Rach got their hair cut in preparation for school. They look pretty good. Here is Nik with his movie star classes. Nik's 2 front teeth are very close to coming out. The one is super loose and should come out any day now. I think the fact that he hit himself in the mouth helped the teeth along a little. Boys will be boys!

Nik starts school on Mon 25th, his teacher is Mrs. Ranallo. They are wearing a more strict uniform this year. Only khaki and navy blue chinos. And navy blue, white, red and light blue, polo shirts. Rachel found out her teacher today she has Mrs. Chung which is who she wanted. But her friend Hannah is in the other class this year. Rachel's first day is Tues 26th. 1st and 5th grade this year, Nik says now that he is 7 he is not a little boy anymore!

Nik's first pet and cutie Noodles

Here is Nik's first pet all his own. For his 7th birthday Uncle Jimmy promised to get him fish and a aquarium to keep them in for his present. So yesterday when mom and Uncle Jimmy watched Nik while Jason and I went out to dinner for our 8th anniversary they took him to the pet store. The black one is Dr. Black and the multi colored one is black eye, because he has a missing eye and it is black. He loves his fish and goes up to look at them all the time. He is going to buy some more decorations with his own money soon. He needs to feed them and take care of them himself. If he does good Uncle Jimmy said he can add more fish.

Here is the cutest pic of Miss Noodles on the outside swing, isnt she the cutest! Yesterday Jason and I were married for 8 years. We went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and had a wonderful peaceful dinner by ourselves. He got my a cute card and a pretty pink rose.
