Trip to Hawaii

This picture is of the eel that a fisherman told us lived under the boat ramp while we were all watching a couple of turtles that were swimming around in the little cove we were at. A couple pieces of fish in the water and a good size eel came poking out eating the meat along with a couple of babies. He said that it had bit his niece a couple weeks earlier.


Here is J.T., Jaxson and Carter all playing with a little gecko that they found and tortured for a while. They really liked it.

A turtle swam between me and J.T.s legs scaring J.T. a little. We were trying to get a picture of us and the turtle. The turtle was eating meat that a fisherman was feeding it. It mistaked my toe for a piece of meat once and gave me a little nibble. Luckily he did not take it clean off.

So when we first learned about going to hawaii some of the members of my family decided they wanted to get certified to go scuba diving (including me). It ended up that I was the only one that got certified and got to go with my uncle Jim and aunt Danielle. It was so much fun, way better than snorkeling. We did three dives, and I am hooked. The place that we rented the gear from did not check our certifications. I guess that anyone could have gone diving but it is good to get some instruction before diving because it can be dangerous.

This is Jim, Danielle, and me just before going down for our first dive. Shane was out there to take some pictures of us disappearing into the abyss.

Here I am getting ready for our first dive.

Here is Zan and J.T. on the beach pausing in between playing for a snapshot for dad.

This is JT looking through his boogey board at dad taking a picture of him in the pool.

Kolter and Aubrey are here being dipped in the pool by Zan and Kelly.

The view from our hotel room the first night was unreal. JT declared that he was going to sleep on the balcony when we got there. He did get to take a little nap out there.

Well now this is not going to be much of an explanation rather a collection of pictures to tell what we have been doing since halloween. We just got back from an awesome trip to hawaii where we saw whales, dolphins, turtles, fish, eels, and lizards. We had so much fun with the whole family and hope we can do it again soon. We got some pictures with our new camera that can go underwater, however at the end of the trip the screen stopped working so we took it back and are now on our second one. JT liked riding on his boogey board and looking throught the window, mostly at the bottom of the pool but he did get to see the turtles on his boogey board. We are very grateful for grandma and grandpa setting up this trip we all have memories that will never go away. I will try to put more pictures up in the next couple days.

A new post its a miracle

Happy Holidays!

Summer Fun!

We are all having a really fun summer here at Grandpa & Grandma Nicholls. JT has been busy taking walks and playing at the local parks with friends. He went to the car races with Grandpa and the horse show with Grandma. We went to the lake, but got smoked out. Kolter went to the beach for the first time and is now rolling over, he's getting ready to go on his first airplane trip next week to Oklahoma. We are having so much fun!

Thanks Grandpa & Grandma

I am doing this before my wife Ha Ha Ha

Well since my wife seems to not be to willing to say anything on this little deal I thought that I would do the honors and break the ice for the world. Things these days are filled with school all morning, a race home to get lunch switch cars say hi to the family and then jet to work. Then it is race home between 7 and 8 and eat dinner bath kids play with JT and Kolter do some homework and get ready to do it all over again. I have my first test tommorrow which i should definately be studying for right now but instead i am trying out this little gizmo. We went to the lake last weekend and tried to see if we could kill the parents by getting them hit by lightning while trying to sleep up in the tent. its probably a good thing there were no windows in the tent because they could not see just how close the lightning was hitting all around us. It was awesome!!!!!!! any way that is all for now maybe there will be more here in the future maybe not?????????
