Anyway...

I know, we haven't posted in a while. While we haven't been as hectic as some (congrats Steph (: ), we also haven't been buried under rubble either (thankfully).

So, I'm going to try to catch up on the last few months in one post, but since i got off work a little over an hour ago, my daughter has decided to start the terrible twos about 2 month's early, it may take more than one, lol

The last few months...geez...where to start? Michael has been doing really well in his classes at school, made the dean's list twice :), but we got bad news in november...merry christmas, you need to find another job..again. So, as of this moment, Michael is working one full time job, one part time job, and trying to figure out sleep and family time in with all that.

Kyra has been growing like a weed (it seems), i think she is surprising us with a new word almost everyday (she spent the weekend with grandma and grandpa, came home and was eating a muffin, held out her hand and said "kitty"...i told her she can't feed grandpa's kitty muffins...she feeds the small horse (Padfoot) ALL the time)

I've been doing nothing but work and sleep, and ticking off Kyra apparently (gotta love the terrible two's...or maybe just A LOT of girly days, not sure which). Eh, I'm boring, lol.

We did go and see the Dinosaurs on the 14th of January though. kyra didn't like the heights, and was squirmy until the mama T-Rex came out, then she was all about watching the dinos.

Christmas was good, we were with our family and that's what counted this year.

(Maybe next time it won't take two months to update...hopefully)

Ye Pirates have been ratted out....RUN!!!!

Here is the vid from our fun filled night at Joycelyn's. I was glad that you could all attend, it was nice seeing you guys again. Hope to make this a Nichols Cousin Reunion.



Maybe we can try another theme next yr......just not the Fight For the Crown..way too many girl parts and not enough male (unless there are those that don't mind going drag :)

Here is a cute pic of Kyra in what her Halloween costume will be. We had to try it on her to see what it would look like and to see how it fit. So here you go.

Here is a cute pic I thought everyone would like. Enjoy !!!!

This week has been very tiring. Tracey's parents came in last Saturday and we have been spending time with them all week, which has been nice. I will post a photo of her parents when I can get ahold of one, lol.

For those of you who will start to follow this blog, I started school back in July. I am going to a school called AIU Online for my Information Technology degree. So far I have done good in school thanks to my lovely wife, since I have a reading comprehension problem. I am currently on the Deans List for last semester :)

Kyra has enjoyed meeting her grandparents for the first time, of course most children have no qualms about meeting strangers.

Tonight is the last night that Tracey's parents are in town, they leave tomorrow at 12pm for OH. We went on the Heber Creeper tonight. It wasn't all that I expected it to be but it was entertaining.


Well thought I would post a little more for you guys to read

Hey All,

We figured that we would start a blog so that everyone could keep tabs on our small family. We will try and post as many pics and stories about the kids as possible.

If our blog seems a little bland please let us know how to improve it and we will work on getting it fixed.

This picture is a little old, Kyra wasnt walking when this picture was taken but she is definitly a little run around girl now :) We enjoy every minute with her, even though there are times that she can be irritating but that is a toddler for you :)
