Happy Birthday Nicolas!


Nicolas finds the paver that the 
Faris's had made for him at Disneyland.


Nicolas turns 10 on Monday, May 18th! It's hard to believe he is now in double digits. We are so proud of him! He has demonstrated incredible strength and courage, as well as compassion, over the last two and a half years. He's a remarkable young man and inspires us to keep looking forward.

It's hard to believe it's been 3 months since I've posted on Kyle's blog. We are trying to decide the best way to make the site work for us in this new chapter of our journey. It will take some time to re-work things but please keep stopping by to check on our progress. We are tossing around ideas to honor Kyle's memory, ways to support things he cared about as well as Dr. Olson's glioma research. 

Thank you again to everyone who has been supporting us over the last 2 years and continues to support us now. Your cards, emails, blog posts, prayers and good wishes mean so much to us. Even with all the sorrow and loss there are still things to feel lucky about and your support is at the top of that list.

Happy Birthday Nicolas!

I have absolutely loved being your teacher this year. Although, I think that I have probably learned far more from you and your amazing family than I could ever hope to teach you. You have such a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you for always making me laugh. You have this wonderful joy for learning. Of course I love how you can play with numbers and manipulate them in your head and how you can read several books all at the same time and remember in detail everything in them. Carson has loved being your little buddy as well.

May you have the most amazing birthday! We love you lots and lots!

Tiffany, Jon, Carson and Hailey

Happy Happy Birthday Nicolas!! Your Aunt Issy loves you oodles and wishes you a super day.
I just can't believe you are 10 - it seems like just yesterday that your mama called me to let me know you were on your way...I was in my car up to Bellingham in a hurry!

You are a smart, funny amazing kid :-)
Love you,
Issy

Happy Birthday Nicolas! Turning 10 is a BIG deal. I remember when you were just a wee little guy in diapers. Time flies! Have a happy, fun and beautiful day!

Hi Nicolas,

I was just thinking about today and how much fun our "extra" PE was today. I have to say, I loved making you do all those cartwheels. You can count on more! That was fun for me... Have a wonderful weekend with your mama. Give her a big hug for me.

Love you both lots!
Mrs. G

It has been a while since I have seen you. I was just thinking about you and wondering how your summer was going? I miss seeing you and hearing all about your latest adventures and how many sports you are involved with. Just wanted to say hi.

Miss you lots,
Mrs Gutierrez
