Donuts!

Daddy was out of town at a football game, and mom had some errands to run. Mom thought maybe we should start the morning with a donut to see if a little sugar would get us going. And this was strictly for the kids as mom isn't even allowed to have donuts. Let me tell you, this is true love to take your kids to a donut shop, and sit and smell the donuts, and not be able to eat one. I had been wanting to take the kids to this donut shop that makes some super cute decorated donuts! It was a fun way to start our Saturday!

Football game

Just a few pics from the last football game.
A few are from before the game as the kids were in between Jupiter Jumps, a few are from the game.

Silly kids

I thought I would do a little photo dump from my phone... Here are a few crazy cute pics of Raegan and Jamison!

Makeover

We recently did a little upgrade to our landscaping outside! In that, I mean, hired someone to do it, not do it ourselves :). I think it turned out great! So glad we finally got it done! Now if we can just keep the weeds out!

Game Day Baby!!!

 

The day has finally arrived, we have been waiting anxiously!

 

Our first home football game of the season!  As you can tell, we take this seriously!

Sunglasses, cheerleading outfits, Tulsa Football player t-shirt and all!

 

 

It was pretty hot for this game, and it started at 11:00am.  So we missed our nap time on top of it being hot.  This little guy had to take a load off of his feet for a minute.  Look how adorable he looks sitting on the bleachers....

This little girl sure has gotten bigger since last season, and she also really enjoyed the game!

Brooklyn enjoying her kettle corn that Papa Vince bought.  The kids love that stuff!!

After the game, it was time to go visit daddy in the athletic training room, where the kids got taped up and ready to play. 

Jamison loves getting taped up like the players. 

 

 Then we had a quick run on the field, and it was time to go!

In this particular game a player from the other team got seriously injured, so there was a lot of excitment of two ambulances and a lot of action.  But the kids did GREAT!!!!  They seriously sit so good during the game!  We usually get comments from others even admiring how great they are!  We sat at the football game for about 4 hours, and I don't think they whined once. 

We have since been to another home game, and the kids did great again!  The game didn't start until 6:00pm, and I think I was asked 9,347 times if it was time for the football game yet.  Jamison loves the band.  Him and Raegan like to drum on the bleachers when the band plays, and Jamison will march in place!  All three kids absolutely scream daddy's name at the top of their lungs when he comes out before the game and at halftime.  Everyone around us is dying laughing!  Raegan has some great dance moves that keep others entertained as well.  And Brooklyn, she like the cheerleaders and watching them do flips in the end zone after touchdowns.  But her real talent, is yelling for the defense.  Seriously, she is good luck!  Anytime on third down, I will let her know.  And she has to wait until just the right time and will yell defense.  Three of the times she did it at the last game, resulted in two sacks and one recovered fumble!  

Needless to say we are superfans!  We love going to daddy's work, we love going to the football games, we love Tulsa!  We can't wait until the next game!  GO TU!

Nerio down!

It happened.  It finally happened.  One of our very own went down. 

 

We got a call Friday afternoon that Raegan had a little accident at daycare.  So we went and checked out to see how bad it was, and confirmed that she indeed needed some stitches!

She had fallen on a vent that had fallen out of a door and cut her knee.

 

When I got to daycare to pick her up, no tears, just sitting there waiting. 

 

She did have a few tears when I put her in the van, but we quickly averted the crisis!

We went up to daddy's work so we could get stitched up.  Raegan let out a few tears and screams when they were injecting it to numb the area, but after that a few rounds of Wheels on the bus made everything better.

 

After she got fixed up with five stitches, I think the numbing medicine was still working becuase she was down dancing and running around in no time!  It wasn't really until the next day that she seemed to be bothered by her boo-boo.  But she is still running around like crazy, she is just careful with it, which is good!

 

 

She keeps telling me "my boo boo ok mommy".  So I must have asked her too many times if she was ok, now she just let me know! 

It was no surprise the Raegan was the first Nerio kid to recieve stitches.  But will she be the last???

Grandpa Iowa makes a visit

 Grandpa Iowa and his friend Carol came to visit us over the three day Labor Day weekend.  Ironically dad was out of town in Ames, Iowa playing Iowa State in football.  That had the kids really confused!

Saturday we watched football on TV most of the day while showing off anything and everything we own and acting crazy. 

Brooklyn got a little view from up above.

 

While she was up there, she tought she would give Grandpa a new hair style.

What do you think? Is a Mohawk his style?  When he said he likes the hawks, I don't think that is what he had in mind!

 

We also hosted a few other visitors.  Great Grandma Bev, Aunt Karen, Cousin Emily, Aunt Sharon, & Cousin Greg stopped by for a visit.  Grandma Bev and Karen were visiting Sharon who just lives an hour away.  They came to Tulsa for a few things, so stopped by the house as well!  Bill and Brian joined us for a little bit also. 

Here is Grandma Bev with her three great grandkids!

 

Four generations!

Lucky for us Carol does hair, so we took advantage and the kids got hair cuts!

 

Brooklyn got her hair braided too!

 

The kids also got to sit in the back of Carol's big truck!

 

Overall we had a great weekend!  We sure kept them busy and entertained!  The kids were sad to see them go!  Thanks for visiting!!!  Come back again soon!

One Lost Tooth

We lost our very first tooth amongst the Nerio kids.  We knew that she had to loose one soon, as she already had the next set coming in behind her two front teeth. 

 

She had been working on loosening it up for a couple of weeks, and finally momma said it was time! 

So we sat down one night and we wiggled, and pulled, and wiggled and pulled, and finally POP, out it came.  No whining, tears, nothing. 

 

She has this cute little Tooth Fairy Pillow to put her teeth in for the Tooth Fairy.  She said she wanted to keep the first tooth, so luckily the tooth fairy left it.  She also left her a glittery one dollar bill.

(Yes, one dollar--three kids + lot of teetch= one broke tooth fairy....so one dollar.   Quite a bit better than the quarter I got as a kid :))

She has since lost her second bottom tooth, and got a dollar for that one also.  The tooth fairy took that tooth though!    What an exciting "first" in our house!

KINDERGARTEN!!!

This little girl isn't so little anymore!

The first day of Kindergarten--and she was so excited!  No doubts or fears--just excitement!!

And isn't she precious!!

Notice the post again!

Her teacher this year is Ms. Chrismon.  We dropped her off with no issues--she was excited-she gave us a big smile to let us know she was great, a hug and maybe a kiss, and that was it!  (Mom did great too-but had to leave when I saw another little girl start to cry) HA!  So glad that she is so confident and loves school so much!

When I went to pick her up from daycare after school she said she had a GREAT day!  The talking started about 30 seconds into the ride home, and continued for the next two hours.  She talked to both Grandma's to tell them about her day!  I heard about recess, how many they have, when they are, why they are when they are, lunch, what kind of milk you can have, and which one she chose (chocolate for the first day), snacks, music time, her lockers, what they did with her school supplies, the centers, her name tag, the other kids, the teaching asst. Ms. Pape (who she also had in her room last year), and it went on and on and on!  I loved hearing about every minute of it!  After dinner Jamison and Raegan got down and played, and she just sat there with me telling me about her day!  It was the peak of my day, that is for sure!  She wanted to go back that night!

Day two went just as great, she chose Strawberry milk for day two and said it was better!  Her stories each day were so funny, you could tell she was on new information overload--and kept mixing up names, and having to think about what she was trying to say-her mouth couldn't keep up with her brain!  (Like she couldn't remember PE at first, she kept thinking EPT, EP, PT, oh yeah we had PE!  Thats what it is called!)

Day three was still super!   She is really excited about getting to use the library more, and getting to check out books to bring home.

I hope she has a great of a year as she did first three days!

Love her and so excited for my #1 Kindergartener!!!
