Tons of Visitors, some sports and San Francisco

We have been some busy bees here lately. We had a ton of visitors come around to see Nicholas and his parent’s ofcourse, as we slowly work our way from being Suzanne and Keith to Nick's mom and dad. But thats ok, I don't really mind so much. Since I forgot to load pictures with the oldest first we'll start with the most recent at the top. Last weekend our good friends Joni, Al and Taylor stopped in for a visit from MN. that was big fun. Nicholas really liked Taylor I think. He kept following her around checking out what she was doing. They were so cute together. Like boyfriencd and girlfriend.

Here goes some box riding durby. Nicholas was a total booty and didn't want to share his box or laundry basket. Someday he will learn.

They are just so darn cute together. Pajama party!!!

So some of you might know, I've been out of town literally for like 2 weeks now for work. Part of the territory that I aquired last year was California, which explains why I had been out there so many times now. The only REALLY good thing about it is that I get decent frequent flier miles. Well and my little brother lives out there so I get to go see him for free. Last week was San Francisco. Actually it was really Sacramento, but I went with a co-worker who wanted to do a little TOURIST action so we drove around and spent a couple of hours out at the Golden Gate bridge and took our fancy cameras for some sweet pics.

Lombard Street.

Coastline. It was SO windy out, I could barely stand up straight, but man was it pretty.

and ofcourse the Golden Gate Bridge. I have a ton of pictures that I took to see if I could get anything to print and put up as art work. I think I got a few of those. Here are a couple of good ones.


Also last weekend my grandma came from St. Louis and I kick myself now, but I didn't get any pictures. :( I'm sorry Gram.

The weekend before was Aunt Cheri and Uncle Mark. Nick was totally in love with them showeing him with so much attention. He screamed as we drove away when we dropped them off. I didn't tell them that, but it was pretty bad for about 10 min.

Playing in the water as usual. We enrolled him in swim classes again at this place called Elmer swim school. Its not the first class we have been to. We took him last year but I was so disappointed because the class was so geared towards 3 Yrs +. I decided that I could just let him float in the water on my own and not have to pay $55. So elmer is a bit pricey, but since that is all they do they are a bit hard core. They had all babies being dunked under wateer on the frist day and they all go at their own pace. Parents go with until they are 3. My dad said as soon as we can get him to swim without assistance that he could start working on him. I think he will be the next Olympic swimmer. Ha.

His first baseball T. He loved it. Thanks Aunt Cheri and Uncle Mark for the gift.

And one last random silly pic. My little ham bone. He loves to put on our shoes and walk around. His daddy frowns when he puts on my shoes, but he can walk around better in mine so he is more drawn to them.

The last week or so his vocab is really jumping. He tries to say everything we do. We now have banana, eye, booboo, hair, dang - yes dang.....some certain daddy keeps saying it in front of the baby. oh and he says baby too, bear, and a few others that he has just said a couple of times so I can't remember them. So much fun he is.
