The Dentist

Nikolas had his first dentist appointment. Nikolas DR referred us to this GREAT pediatric dentist. They had kids in there up to teens but they are definitely ready for the small kids! They took Nikolas in without me, I felt like we were at the happiest place on earth. That staff was so excited and just really nice. They took him in the first day for exam and xrays, and then they scheduled me for the next day for the teeth cleaning. Nikolas loved it, he did really good. He told me that he got to watch monster trucks while getting his teeth cleaned. Yay! he likes the dentist. Maybe I should come here! I hate the dentist.

We did it...

Well with Nikolas having a birthday and wanting a Monster truck birthday cake, I sent emails to several bakeries and showed them a picture of something I liked. And the quotes I was getting were $70-90 dollars... Yikes for a cake? Sheesh... so Dean and I decided to make it. Well all I did was bake it and help ice it.. oh and smushed the graham crackers for the dirt... haha Dean did the rest.... And well it was a lot!!! less than the quotes and was easy and Nikolas loved it.

Hard Worker

Nikolas got a Workbench for Christmas, and this tool belt and hard hat came with it... So here he is getting ready to build something.

Happy Birthday Nikolas

I just love ebay, I have been searching and searching for Monster Truck invites.. And, no one has them... So I decided to search ebay, and here is what I found and how cute!!! just love them.. Well I will be sending them out soon, so hope to see you all there...

Brush Brush Brush

Do all kids love to eat toothpaste? Is this like butter? Nikolas is very good at brushing his teeth, has to do it as often as he can. But he mostly likes to eat the toothpaste off the brush! Yuck! I wanted to get him some big kid toothpaste, but I guess we are nowhere near ready for that. I guess that is for when they stop eating it. Is this just a boy thing? Oh well his teeth look nice!

Monster Jam in Anaheim

Nikolas loves Monster Trucks, so we decided to take the boys to the Monster Jam in Anaheim. I have to say I thought this event would be much cheaper than it was. It was $200.00 for the 4 of us, and that didnt include food, drinks, or treats. Oh well it was very worth it, they only come once a year. The seats we had were great and we ALL really enjoyed them. As we were leaving, we thought wow we are really white trash now! The crowd we were with at least made us feel that way... yikes... This was when we first sat down, Nikolas wasnt so sure about it.

Some cotton candy that he had to have, but didnt really care for.

Grave Digger, this is Nikolas favorite!!

Here is Nikolas watching every moment. He had a smile from ear to ear. And much better now that he didnt have cotton candy and now he has licorice. Yummo!

Metallica

Dean went to the Metallica concert, and brought home shirts for the boys. Nikolas has his new shirt on which is too small already. They only had one kids size. So Dean wanted a picture with Nikolas in his Metallica shirt and we tried to show him the heavy metal sign "devil horns" with your hands. I guess that is what it is called when you hold up both hands and you only hold up your index and pinkie finger. Im old, I didnt know that is what that was. Anyways, we took some photos of trying to get Nikolas to do this. It didnt turn out so well... but it was very cute so i figured I would share.
