Keeping up with the Nielsen's
The boys were outside today taking care of the lawn. I think Noah was trying to tell Daddy that his lines are not straight!!!
Noah got his bubble mower for his birthday from one of our neighbors and he loves this thing. Everytime we are in the garage he points to it. The bubbles ran out and I haven’t refilled them yet, but it doesn’t seem to bother him.
Rick’s parents, Paul & Marie, are celebrating their 50th Anniversary today!!! Last night we told them they needed to be dressed and ready to go by 4 o’clock. They had no idea what was going on, but at 4, the limo pulled up and we told them to go outside…SURPRISE!!! We rode around in the limo for awhile drinking some champagne and doing some site seeing. Then at 6 o’clock we went to the New Theatre Restaurant and had a great meal and watched “The Sound of Music”. They said they had a great time and enjoyed everything!!!

Happy 1st Father’s Day Rick!!! You are such a great father to Noah, we couldn’t ask for anything better!!
Rick was outside a lot on Father’s Day – working on his Nova. I really don’t think there will be a lot left of the car when he’s done with it!! He’s taking it all apart and then going to have it bead blasted to get all the rust and paint off. Then he will start putting it back together…with new parts. Hopefully this won’t cost too much!!!!
When he was done working on the Nova for the day we headed down to the swimming pool. It was hot and humid so it felt really good to get in the pool. I however, now have a sunburn. I forgot to put sunscreen on my back and of course I had my back to the sun so it would block Noah! The things we do for our kids!!!
Noah is 9 months old!!! He had his checkup yesterday and he’s doing good!! He weighs in at 20 pounds 7.7 ounces and he is 28.5 inches tall. He had one vaccination for Hepatitis B. Then we had to go to another building to have his blood drawn. The look for anemia, lead levels and check his blood count. He didn’t like getting the needle poked in him, but then again, who really does?? And I’m not sure if it hurts that much or if he just hates being pinned down!
This morning when I was changing his diaper, he was doing the “Crocodile Death Roll”. He just won’t lay still and keeps rolling over!!! I swear you need AT LEAST 2 people to change his diaper – which makes this really hard this week being that Rick is in California!!
Speaking of Rick, he’s having a great time in California. He’s there for some training in Google Apps. We are resellers for them and he’s trying to learn as much as he can. He keeps sending pictures, so I hope he’s learning something while he’s there instead of just having fun!!! He’ll be back home on Saturday afternoon.
Late this afternoon, Rick was pounding on his drums…this time for a good cause! They played at the charity sale that will benefit the March of Dimes annual March for Babies Fundraiser. You can read about the charity sale here. The band had a good time playing for the crowd and we had a good time listening!!
Rick is posing very nicely for the picture!
The drummers biggest fans!!!
