Nicholas' first Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Mommy and Nicholas kicking off the Memorial Day weekend on Friday at Dahlgren pool outside.



Daddy took this pic from under the fountain of Mommy & Nicholas.

Nicholas loves to be standing when possible and trying to walk.

The boys are taking a break from jumping.  Nicholas in his Jump-a-Roo giving Cameron a run for his money with the jumping.




Sunday we took Cameron home and had a cook out at Aunt Joni & Uncle Charlie's with Nana & Pap Pap and some friends.




Nicholas loves Cameron's dog (Snowball).  Nicholas watched Snowball and laughed when he barked.  Nicholas would turn all the way around when Daddy would take off in his car.  Snowball would stick his paw out at Nicholas to him to pet him but Nicholas would not reach out to him; just watched in amazement.



Nicholas at "Some Gave All" Memorial Motorcycle Ride 2011

Nicholas' first Memorial motorcycle ride.  Nicholas, Mommy & Daddy got to the event around 9:30 am and got home around 4:30 pm.  Nicholas was good as gold even in the heat and around all the loud motorcycles, band, and many many people.  He was a little trooper!



Nicholas in his car riding around checking out his first Frazier-Mason motorcycle memorial ride.  Daddy bought Air Force shirts since there was little Air Force representatives for the event.




Mommy, Nicholas and Aunt Joni at the Smokey Bottom booth.

MSgt Greene (Rob) trying to recruit Nicholas into the Army National Guard.  Nicholas says no way, I'm going to "Aim High" and go Air Force!




Daddy & Nicholas pose in identical AF shirts, except Daddy's says retired.




Pvt Little (Cousin Jamie) and Nicholas pose for a picture.




Cousin Jamie was even giving Nicholas heck for the AF shirt and had to put an Army cover on him.




Just a couple of motorcycles in front of the parade.  The ride starts at Spotsy High School where Sgt Frazier went to High School and ends up at King Gerge High School where Sgt Mason went to school.  Both were killed over in Iraq.




The estimated motorcycle count was between 900-1100.




Mommy & Nicholas walk around while Daddy got a few pics from the roof of the High School.

Mommy & Daddy take Nicholas to Colonial Beach Board Walk (15 May 2011)

Nicholas on the pier in his car.  If you stop he will move his body back & forth in a motion to get his car moving.  In the process his belly hits the horn.

 

Nicholas in his Audi TT imitating his Uncle Shelby.  But Daddy won't let Nicholas get burnt up and sport the raccoon eyes like Shelby did coming to Virginia last year.

Nicholas gets his first taste of a ice cream cone on the beach.  Notice we had to hold his hands down, boy was that good!

 

They took my cone away!  Bad Mommy & Daddy!

 

Nicholas swinging in a swing that right for him.

 

I think someones getting sleepy and/or bored in the swing by himself.

 

Mommy & Daddy then took me over to see Nana & Pap Pap for a visit.  Pap giving Nicholas some water.
