Nikki and Chris in Love - They Have a Girl and a Boy now too!

Its rare to have a baby born face first, but Nikki and her loving husband now have two children, Aubrey and Cayden, both born in Fargo. It is a wonderful time in Nikki's life to have and be raising little ones. She is a stay at home mom and wife, and she has many talents. Nikki was born in 1985 in Fargo, North Dakota in the United States of America. The family moved to a farmstead out in the country in the fall of 2008 not far from Fargo.

My hat is off to Nikki & Chris for their parenting!

Welcome! I Love Nikki 

Nikki is a very good mommy and wife.

Eagles in a love embrace in the air. One showing its strength and skill, and the other showing its trust. Eagles mate in the air and go through quite the rituals. Wouldn't that be fun?

Nikki Who?

The Day Aubrey Mae Was Born! 

What an exciting time for everyone! A new born baby picture...

Us three grandmas were impressed with Nikki, because she didn't yelp, curse, or make lots of noise while she went through labor-pains. She once in awhile would say, "It hurts," in a soft voice. Aubrey waited to be born seconds after midnight on November 28th 2006.Then we seen the look on Chris' face changed to joy instead of concern. Well, done!

Hope that the next delivery will go much faster and easier in May, hun!

The Center of Nikki's World! 

Such a sweet little girl, who knows what she likes and doesn't like.

Nikki is a stay at home-mom. I was a stay at home mom, too. With a little darling like this to take care of, staying home is a good idea, if you can. When you have to pay for child-care, gas, work cloths, and launches it all adds up. Most people are losing more money then it is worth to not stay at home and raise those little ones.

At this point Aubrey was expecting to be the center of the universe, and she was!

Picture of Nikki, Chris & Aubrey! 

We had a family get together when Uncle Randy & Auntie Karen were in Fargo to see us and Eric Clapton. We stuffed our faces on pizza and a wonderful desert that Nikki made. Chris wasn't done eating, yet!

This picture was taken on March 31st of 2007.

The Big Day! 

I remember the first time I held hands...

As Chris and Nikki stood holding hands,
I wiped away a tear from my eyes.
My daughter, my son in-law...
Making a life's commitment.

May the love they share,
Be always new...

Chris used to beg Nikki to get married! 

I heard him begging!

Chris and Nikki tied the knot on June 7th 2008. Nikki made all the wedding plans and did a wonderful job. I think all of the family & friends were impressed with this new found talent of hers.

Nikki made their wedding cake and made all of the invitations. They were very nice and very professional done.

Blessing to Nikki and Chris and Children 

Chris's Side of Family 

This is Chris' side of the family that Nikki has joined herself to! May God bless them all in everything!

Nikki's Wedding Photos 

Nikki was praying for a sunny day!

We were having rainy days for two weeks. The day that Nikki and Chris got married outside, was the only sunny day we had for about another week or so. It was a beautiful day and the wedding was lovely!

Lynnette, Nikki, Chris & Aubrey 

Aubrey's Initials Are: AW!

Lynnette & Nikki have known each other since 1992. We moved into the house next door and Lynnette & Nikki have been good friends since. Lynnette was Nikki's 'maid of honor' and looked as beautiful as ever! Lynnette came back from Texas during summer break and stayed at the their home to help with the wedding plans. She was very helpful in her sweet-caring way.
Lynnette has always been my all time favorite neighbor since she was about 3 years old. I could tell some funny stories. What character!

Another talent of Nikki's is taking pictures of flowers. 

She has quite a gallery!

Isn't this a beautiful picture of a flower? I told Nikki that she could make cards with her many floral pictures. They would be great to send to loved ones!

Nikki took up flute during her grade school years and played in the school bands in Fargo schools. She also took private piano lessons for a few years and did play for recitals. Nikki has a nice singing voice and sang back-up in a band at the church we attended.

Beach Baby in a Grass Skirt! 

Nikki had Aubrey all dressed-up in a swimsuit and grass skirt for the beach adventures that were in store. Aubrey is always dressed up in cute little outfits or costume for the given holiday.

Nikki is a good mother and spends her time raising her little girl as a stay at home mom!

Such a little cutie-pie! Aubrey will have a little baby brother in May of 09, and she just loves babies!

...... Picture of Cayden in Nikki's Tummy! ...... 

I can hardly wait to this new baby grandson. Good going Chris! Lol!
Hope you can get over the tired feeling Nikki.
Sorry to hear that your hips ache, Hun!

New Born Cayden! 

Cayden was born face first, so his face was bruised at birth.

Cayden was 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches at birth. He reminds me of Nikki when she was born a lot. Nikki says he reminds her of a baby picture of Chris. I can see Chris in this sweet little face too.

Bailey Met Her Cousin For The First Time 

She did know what to think!

Have You Ever 

Unknown Author

Have you ever seen
the fire in my heart?
Could these thoughts melt
your heart of flesh?

Have you ever seen
that light flashing in my eyes
reflecting the love
in my verdant soul?

Did you ever feel
the passion, in my arms,
drawing your presence
near my breast?

Did you ever hear
the silent musings
and melodies
of my passionate soul?

Did you ever hear
my emotion calling out
"Come to me,
my Love."

Have you ever?

The 9 Month Wait is Over! 

I'm so glad they took this picture...its so sweet!

This is a One In A Million Photo 

You don't get to actually see this everyday, much less get a picture of it while a Stork is Delivering a Baby! - Soon Nikki, Chris and Aubrey will have the pleasure of having a brand new baby delivered to them.

I think this is a pretty picture and wanted to share it!

Preparing the home for your new baby! 

* Make a Plan: Prior to baby's arrival, create a list of everything you need to purchase. It will make shopping for baby a breeze and ensure you don't purchase any unnecessary items.

* Clear Out: Make room for baby by clearing your home of unused items. A survey found that the average American has 35 unused items in their home with a resale value of $670*!

* Maximize Closet Space: Utilize every inch of your closet by inserting a low hanging closet rod and shelving. A over-the-door shoe rack is a great place to store small baby necessities like lotions, medicines and powders.

* Family Affair: If you already have kids, get them involved in preparing for baby by letting them take part in the organizing and decluttering process. They'll enjoy stepping into the role of the big sibling and will be excited to help prepare for their new little brother or sister!

* "Baby" space: Use a dresser as a changing table by placing a changing pad on top (used dressers average for around $31*). It will give you drawer space to hold extra sheets, blankets, diapers and changing items so that everything is within arms reach.

* Keep It Safe: When decorating baby's room, install safety covers on electrical outlets, cut the loops on window blind cords, and don't hang heavy objects over the crib.

* No Monsters Under the Bed: Use the space under your baby's crib to store extra sheets and blankets or the toys and clothing that your child hasn't grown into yet.

* Build Up: Don't forget to look vertical when trying to create space. Add shelves to the space above your baby's changing table to store onesies and blankets.

* Mommy Connection: Purchase items that babies grow out of quickly secondhand.

* In & Out: Once you've decluttered your home, keep it from coming back.

Nikki Loves Animals!

Nikki is so sweet that she would... 

...help a frog across the road!

I'm not kidding, she loves animals. She usually has 3-4 dogs and they have pups, 2-3 cats and they kittens kittens. Now, that they live on a farmstead, Chris bought Nikki some baby chicks, so she will have chickens and farm fresh eggs. Sounds nuts doesn't it? ... but she loves animals.

Someday I might make a lens about when I lived on the Saum commune. We had many animals to care for, fields to plant and harvest, pickle and can. There was only one rule there. It was, if you can't carry your own weight, you can leave. I was busy from morning till night and slept very well.

Well, dogs like to dress like people! 

A New Puppy! 

It seems there's always going to be new puppies and kittens at Nikki's house. Adorable! I always love the smell of a little puppy. Nikki is holding the tiny new pup in her hand.

When Nikki's pets have babies, she is there for them. With some babies not breathing at birth, Nikki has learned to give mouth to mouth resuscitation. She has breathed life into some that made it.

Another life to celebrate and enjoy!

I can't imagine being born face first, that had to hurt. Nikki and Chris felt so bad!

Time Well Spent 

I seen tiny fingers and seen tiny toes,
Bright baby eyes, that sweet baby nose;
Heard those baby gurgles and baby sighs,
As Mom and Dad sang lullabies.

Life has changed, but that's okay;
It's fun to spend joyous hours each day,
Taking time for all the blessings
That comes along with being good!

We'll be going up to Kabetogama to see Mom on Friday, so I'll ask her then. I'll also get those last pictures of Cayden and Aubrey printed up that Nikki sent over a month ago--I keep forgetting! [in reply to Tipi]

in reply to Shelly It would be interesting to find some baby pictures of when you were first born to see if there was bruising, you might be right, but you could be wrong! Lol! I don't know if mom would remember ... but you could ask her about that. ~ Jaime was just over to visit for a while. Things are going okay for him, just never has enough money. It would be nice to always have enough money to do things and travel. ~ Well, I'm going to watch a scary Halloween movie to celebrate the day. ~ Happy Halloween To All!

As I was looking at the pictures of Cayden, I was recalling the ones of his very bruised up face that, of course, are not being shown here. It is amazing how much the bruisong improved after you prayed--I can sure see the concern on Chris and Nikki's faces here--they were hurting for their little boy.
I was also born with some apparent trauma--Dad always said I looked like a prize fighter with a bruised up face and my nose shoved up and to one side. Perhaps I was a face first birth as well. There has always been a line across my nose that isn't perceivable unless I point it out.[in reply to Tipi]

in reply to Shelly I don't know how you missed that, but it would be something else to know that a pet is alive because of you. There have been heart breaking moments where resuscitation didn't work. All I can say is that it must be heart breaking to see a tiny baby animal that doesn't respond. ~ I wish everyone all the best! Lol! My security word is "dogsquid"

Now how did I miss that Nikki has given mouth to mouth resusitation to help newborn pets into the world? Wow! I think that is just so cool![in reply to Tipi]
