Nik is sick Rachel is back

Rachel is back from Arizona. She had a fun time. Nik did karate camp this week. He had a lot of fun and found that he really likes extreme karate. He learned how to do cartwheels, round offs and which I was surprised he can do a front spring he was the only one in the class that could. Now Nik is sick with strep throat took him to the doctor today.

What a crazy boy! On Friday I took Noodles to the vet to get some puppy shots she recieved 2 shots. A couple hours later when Nik and I got home I noticed poor Noodles face was swollen you could hardly see her eyes and she had a hard time breathing. I called the vet and they said bring her in ASAP so I did. I guesss she had an allergic reaction to one of the shots and the gave her a shot to decrease the swelling and they kept her for few hours to make sure she was ok. Poor little Noodles. She is much better now. They will have to give her one shot at a time.

Easter

Nik and his Easter basket, got lots of goodies and got a pug webkin that he named fireball.

Crazy Nik!

Nik on the Easter egg hunt he was the only kid this year. Easter was really nice we had it at my moms and all the food was great.

Easter eggs

Rachel and Nik did Easter eggs last night because Rach is leaving today for Arizona with her dad so we decorated early.

They turned out great except notice that one is missing thats because Nik dropped one on the floor and it cracked. Rachel is excited about Arizona but nervous about flying but I am sure she will be fine.

Nik's report card etc.

Nik got his report card yesterday and also had conferences. He got all 3's and 4's which is great! He is excelling in math that is his strong subject. He is starting to read and recognizes all the words on the word wall. She said he will be ready for 1st grade. Nik has decided to play soccer so I signed him up for the Mentor Soccer Club it starts in April he is very excited. I am sure he will do well. The first season they play is mostly instructional to get them used to the game and the rules. He is going to continue karate which he is doing really well at. He did so good today his discipline was great and all his moves were very precise. He is testing next week for his green striped belt on Tuesday. And the week after Easter he is doing karate camp which is for one week from 9-12 he is very excited.
Rachel had an art awards ceremony on Tuesday for her school. She was nominated along with 3 other from her grade. They pick 3 people from each grade level. Rachel did not get an award for 1st or 2nd but she came in 3rd and her pictures were beautiful. She really has a talent and says she wants to be an art teacher when she grows up. Next Wednesday Rachel is leaving for Arizona for a week.
