Well, here goes nothing...

My first official blog entry! First of all, if your reading this then you most likely are my mother. :) Or maybe my husband, he will certainly get a kick out of this whole blog thing! I have pondered the idea of starting a blog since my daughter Grace was born this past August. She will be 6 months old in a few days, so it's obviously taken me a while to get this going. :)


A little introduction...my name is Nichole. I am married to Adam and we have a 7 year old son, Austin and as previously mentioned a daughter Grace. I am so blessed by my family, I thank God for them every day. I am a stay at home mom and I also home school. This is the first year that I have home schooled my son and so far I think it's going pretty well. It's all a learning process but it is getting easier as the year goes by. Lord willing, I will home school both kids as long as I can. Or at least until they start home schooling me! ;) 


My goal in starting this blog, is to keep anyone that cares up to date on what's going on with this little family. (see mention of mother above) Whether it be little milestones that Little Miss Grace is hitting,(she had her first bite of chocolate ice cream today at DQ) or something new Austin is learning in school(he actually SAID OUT LOUD today that he is starting to LIKE math!!) 


At the very least, the blog will serve the purpose of documenting moments that I never wanna forget! Maybe I am the only one who will ever read this, and that's okay! I can look back in the years to come and remember when Austin's first pinto homerun was, and how proud we were of him...or the day that Grace first said Mama..(it's certain to be BEFORE Dadda, so I have to document THAT!)


Hopefully along the way, I can maybe even learn somethings about myself and others I may not even know yet! :)


Thanks for stopping by!!


Here are my kiddos...I'm sure I'll be posting a ridiculous amount of pictures in the future...but I may as well start now! :)
