Answers to Nicks questions

well I figured I better answer these here since there are probably people who were wondering what the answers are that didn’t wager a guess… So here you go

1. Where was Nick born(the state and the city)? Nick was born in Kingman Arizona

2. where did Nick graduate from high school (the state)? Whidbey Island WA Oak harbor?

3. If Nick could move anywhere where would he live? I think he said Washington but I was going to answer New Zealand so I am not sure what the “right” answer is

4. how old is Nick? 30 (it was a trick question to see if I caught anyone off guard, they all got it.)

5. What is Nick’s dream Job? He said he didn’t have one. So everyone just gave their answers… I said a National Geo photog, my mom said video game tester, someone else said pro athlete

6. when did Nick move to California? we decided it was 2002 when he got stationed at Beal AFB

7. what cereal does Nick eat every morning for breakfast? He eats mini wheat's it use to be the big bite red box Kellogg's but they have hfcs so he change brands…

8. what is Nick’s favorite movie?/ 0r what is his favorite video game? He said his favorite movie is either Schindlers list or It’s a Wonderful Life (talk about opposite ends of the spectrum but both great movies!) He said civ is probably his favorite video game

9. what sport/ sports did Nick play in high school? Golf. Most of the fam got this one wrong.

10. hmm I can’t remember this one… maybe it will come to me (it didn’t) but we will go with this one for now. what is one food Nick won’t eat? Well this would take a long time to write out so let’s just say that you probably got this one right since he is picky.

some extra’s for those who know Nick really well…

what is one book Nick has read? Rainbow 6 the Bible and maybe 1 0r two more. what is Nick’s favorite frozen dessert? Either mint chip ice cream or rainbow sherbet from baskin robins. how many states has Nick lived in? I think his family said 6? Let me see if I can get this right… AZ, NY,Fl,MS,NM,WA, CA so 7, I think I am right.  how much weight can Nick bench? I don’t know :) but significantly more than he weights. what is Nick’s favorite sport to watch on TV? pro Football or basketball.

Love you Nicholas Moulton

Yosemite birthday trip

As I mentioned in my previous post we went to Yosemite for Nick’s birthday. Which if you follow my blog you might know that we try to do every year. We left on a Saturday after Williams soccer game because his previous game had been cancelled, and we came back Monday. The weather was great! It didn’t rain at all while we were there. It was a little cold at night and in the morning but we came prepared so that wasn’t a big deal. We bought sleeping bags that zip together so the girls and I were all snuggled up. We also bought this bigger air mattress pad/ thick therma rest for me. Right before we went to sleep Nick says oh yeah make sure Keira’s face doesn’t get in the sleeping bag or she might suffocate… goodnight and he rolls over and sleeps soundly all night… so you can imagine how well I slept that night. at one point I was trying to snuggle with Allie to keep her happy while nursing the baby on the other side... Over all it went fine but I was glad to be back in my own bed.

Most people think I am crazy for going camping in October and it wouldn’t be something I would automatically choose but Nick LOVES it so I am game. One of the reasons that I will go is that Nick does all the cooking. I buy the food and make whatever can be made before hand but he grills the meet, boils the water, cooks the noodles all that stuff. I take care of the baby/kids but he cooks dinner and cleans up so that is lovely. He loves making camp fires and usually cooks half the meal over the open flame so he enjoys it.The kids love to be outside playing so they love when we go camping. We road bikes, climbed rocks, went on hikes, climbed more rocks, and even took a bus ride from the store around Yosemite valley at night.  We had a wonderful trip and are looking forward to next time.

and as usual lots and lots of pictures.

me and my babies

where is waldo I mean wills

like I said they climbed rocks

and more climbingstop mom wants a picture moment…

I have a few more of these I might save for our Christmas card :)

and than more climbing

we hiked to the bridge at Vernal falls. Wills did great and didn’t need any help

Nick carrying Allie and playing games

cute daddy Allie moment

 

and we also went bike ridding. Yosemite is a fabulous place to bike ride especially in the fall when not as many people are around. William rode his bike and than the girls rode in the trailer. my bike pulls the trailer and since Nick got a full frame bike we decided that I would pull the trailer instead of him. I got a good work out (it’s not really that hard and it’s kinda fun)

we played at mirror lake

lol wills took this picture

rock slide 

Allie said mom take my picture so I did

more rock climbing.

and than this cute little girl. I call it her marshmallow suit. We bought it for Allie and it is fabulous because it is a down jumper that keeps baby nice and snuggly! yay for momma know you are warm!

on our way out we visit Yosemite falls

and we climb rocks…

William doesn’t know how to smile for a camera and so Nick told him to do this serious face. I don’t like it one bit. It makes him look so serious like he is unhappy so we will have to work on his smile for pictures.

I think this one is super cute! he looks all protective of her and I love it!

Wills took these two

And Nick took this one. Pretty.

silly allie taking a break

me and my babies :)

p.s. thank you Stevie for telling me about Windows live writer because it has made this post sooooo much easier!

Nick’s birthday

well the hubby turned 30 a few weeks ago so we celebrated! We went up to my parents house and had dinner and than the rest of my family came for dessert. We had brownies and I made him his yearly Lemon meringue birthday pie. I tried to think of something creative to do for this 30th but I ended up deciding that this was going to be more fun for him than having a big party or anything else. Oh yeah and we went camping so that pretty much covers me from feeling like we didn’t do anything special because taking three kids camping in October is something I do because I love him :0)

I didn’t take many pictures but here are a few.

soccer in the rain

last weekend was a busy weekend for us. Nick had a birthday Wills had a soccer game in the rain and then we headed out right after to Yosemite for Nick’s birthday camp trip. The weekend before Wills game had been cancelled because of the rain but they got to play this time which was kinda funny because it was raining WAY harder this weekend. I think Wills really enjoyed it. I stood by the car and watched because Keira was sleeping and I didn’t want to wake her up to bring her into the pouring rain to watch the game. It worked out ok though because I could pretty much see.

Wills had his third goal this week as well. I missed the actual shot but saw it hit the back of the net and him run away like a champ. Nick said it was a really nice, high shot.

I had Nick snag a quick picture of Wills and Kate after the game.

and mud on the clothes. So fun!

coming home late

When my sister went back to school I "took” her spot on her indoor soccer team. So every Tuesday I get to go play soccer and it has been really fun for me. I didn’t play between Allie and Keira and I was determined to get back into it after having Keira.

The kids are always bummed they don’t get to come with me. This week my mom came and so Nick brought the kids instead of staying home with them. Some of our games are pretty late they range from 6:15- 10:25. I know pretty crazy to play that late! The other night I came home from an 8:30 game thinking they would be tucked into bed. Well they weren’t but this is what I saw so I couldn’t really be that upset.

that makes every mommies heart happy. He was watching a movie but he let her snuggle up and fall asleep on him. Super cute!
