Lil Man make a tackle... I mean pulls a flag

Cade played in his first flag football game this past weekend. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa stood proudly in the rain to watch Cade play this NON CONTRACT sport. Unfortunately Cade has watched his brother play tackle football for years and doesn't quite understand that flag is a non contact sport. Cade pulled several flags and there may have been a slight tackle before he pulled that flag. He also may or may not have made some blocks leading with his shoulder (again it's a non contact sport). All in all, how can a mom not be proud? Well, except when the other boy from the other team cried because of his flag getting pulled (ok... tackle).

KERMITS TWIN BROTHER

The boys are obsessed with catching huge frogs. They intentionally try to catch them on their pole at the pond. Why would anyone want to catch a frog when there's fish in the pond? I guess it's a boy thing. This is our latest catch and I believe he is the biggest and ugliest so far. Sorry Kermit, I just don't think your cute in person.

We won and scored a touchdown!

We won our first game of the season and Parker scored his first touchdown. He was so excited! He actually scored twice but one was called back with a penalty. There's a new confidence in their attitude and a swagger to their walk. Look out... it's gonna be a great season.

Carey and his baby

Carey's dog had surgery today. The household will officially end with no more puppies. The final count is : 1 dad, 1 mom, 2 boys, 3 dogs, and 1 cat. We decided with 4 pets that we didn't need another addition to the Nicholas Farm. In addition to the family animals we also have been blessed with turkey, deer, snakes, fish, turtles, and anything else that Cade can catch before it bites him. So for now that's the lineage of the Nicholas family.

SMASH

The 4th grade Pioneers traveled to Bixby Saturday and fell 0-6. Parker was very disapointed but he had a great game. This photo is a pitch play to the Bixby running back. Parker smashed him for a loss of 3. Way to go Parker!
