Nick: Through the ages pt. 1

Nick holds a pivotal spot in the Hector household. He used to be the baby of our clan, but he got promoted when the rest of our family arrived. This created some fascinating relational dynamics that cannot possibly be accurately described in this venue, so we will examine other areas of his life.
He will do anything for a laugh; these pictures will prove it.

Can you both pose for a portrait and hide from it at the same time? Yes.

Nick delights whenever my hair is in disarray. Now it is my turn to be amused.

Photographic proof that boys cannot be allowed to wear makeup.

Posing in Death Valley. Don't worry, nobody died.

Nick went fishing. he caught a frog.

The beach can be exhausting, especially when you enjoy it Nicky style.

Serious moments are few and far between in Nick's life.

Nick's love of books and reading creates a unique set of problems.

I admit it. The Hector boys have a hat problem.

Nick's dream of becoming a pirate was dashed when he learned that they don't have a dental plan.

I can't begin to think of a caption for this one. Any ideas?

Athleticism, Nick style.

Don't worry, it isn't contagious.

Nick has a strange problem involving inanimate objects that are shaped like predators. He has been the meal of many dangerous sculptures.


Even folding chairs pose a health risk to Nick.


Cowabunga!!!


Nick has never had any problem amusing himself.

Nick is a big, big John Wayne fan. Ask Jean about the time John Wayne's character died in a movie.

This is Nick. If you know him, chances are you have a strong opinion about him. He is a work in progress. We love him, he drives us crazy but we couldn't live without him.

be safe,
Hec @ 19

Oh, that's my Nicki, oops, Nic. He really is a joy, challenging, but a joy.

I think the boys get their "hat thing" from Dave. I have proof. Hehe.

Sweet pics DH.

LY, JB

I was just wondering... do we have a NORMAL picture of Nic?

Dad, you spelled Nic's name "Nicky" on one of the captions... don't let him see that... =)

Ok, I was tearing up, proud older brother emotion coming through.

Always grinning, and I hope he doesn't ever change! Life would not be nearly as fun without Nic around...

Love ya, bro. Remember, Tabasco is goooooood.

lol...Oh, I'm so glad I checked your blog this morning! This ought to keep me in stitches all day! :)

Do they use the face paint to remind other people what to do if caught on fire? :)

A little bit of dirt on Nic's face would've completed his pirate-y appearance.

Oh, and what is that big brass looking object eating Nic?

He doesn't like to be called "Nicky"?!?! It sounds so Mr. Charles-ish, though! :)

Great post, as always!

Life would never be the same with out Nick. And even though we tease him, he's a lot of fun to hang out with.
Thomas, I was wondering the same thing, but when is anything with Nick normal?

Haha! My family's really enjoying your "Through the ages" posts. We may steal your idea, call it something else perhaps, hmm... *begins scheming*

Anyway, have a blessed Saturday and (starting tomorrow) a blessed all 'round week!

Josiah loved the pictures of Nic! Most of the pictures that we have of him are very similar to the ones you posted of Nic.
