Cabin September 2011

 
 Our brother in law's parents own a cabin in Timberlake and they were generous enough to let us stay there this past weekend. We had so much fun we had our friends the Omer family and the Davis family come join us. It was so nice to just be able to get away and enjoy nature for a weekend. The fall leafs looked amazing. And I can't believe all the deer we were able to see. Here are some pictures we took. Thanks SOOO very much Claybaughs for letting us use the cabin


This Doe was right of the cabin porch

Niklas's First Day of Kindergarten

 Yes I did say Kindergarten. I feel like just yesterday I was bringing this sweet little boy home from the hospital. Now he is starting Kindergarten. I can't believe it, my little baby isn't so much a baby anymore. He was so excited to start Kindergarten this year. He loves his teacher so much. And he loves that he gets to ride the school bus each day. Sadly mom and dad wouldn't let him ride the bus the first day


Here he is outside of his class room next to the Frogs with their names on them
Here is Niklas sitting at his desk waiting for Mrs. Engler to come in
And now he told me that he wanted me to stop taking his picture and that he was ready for me to leave.

Niklas Turns 6





I can't believe that my baby turned 6 this year. This year he decided that he wanted to have a Star Wars themed party and Cory asked that instead of buying a cake that I just make one. Which I feel turned out pretty good considering this was my first home made cake. I still am in awe that he is 6 and not my little baby anymore.

Amanda's Birthday Present

So this year I turned the big 30. Yes I know I know it wasn't as horrible and I was thinking it would be. My sweet husband new that I wanted a new kitchen table for ever. So for my birhtday I was able to get this wonderful and beautiful new table.

Can I just say how much I love this table.

Niklas's Played T-Ball this spring

Wow I know it has been awhile since I blogged last. So I decided it would be best to start with Niklas and his T-Ball this last spring. This year he was on the Angels team. To make it even more special Cory was Nik's coach with our neighbor. Niklas had so much fun who knew that my son would love to play baseball so much. Here is a picture of the team. He played so much better this year. I can't believe that next year he will be playing coaches pitch. I love my cute little baseball player.

Niklas' 5 Year Photo's

I asked my wonderful dad to take Niklas 5 year photographs this year. And he did such a wonderful job. I love all of them so much. These are a few of my favorite ones. NOW I just need a little help deciding on one or two of them to print up and display in my house. Please feel free to let me know what you think any help would be great.
 




 This one is my favorite I think but would like to know what you think.


 I also just want to thank my dad for everything he does for my sweet little family. Thanks so much for doing such a great job with Niklas and his pictures. I know that Niklas sure loves his grandpa and grandma and is especially greatful for all that they do for him as well. Thanks again dad you are the best.
