Lo's 7th Birthday

Happy Birthday, again, Little Lo!!!

Nolan and I had such a good time at Lo's party, probably a little too much fun cause neither one of us wanted to wake up this morning!!!

Nolan started out the party in this tree house, and he ended it there!

He even had his lunch there!

However, all the fun wasn't just in the giant, indoor playground...there was lots of fun in the auditorium! I really wish I had pics of the big balloons, but I didn't have my camera handy, so it has to start with the noodles : )

He was very observant in what everyone was doing, he really just had to take it all in before putting it to use.

See, what they were doing at this point was having sword fights with the noodles, and like I said, he was taking it all in...

As you can see here, he was out to get someone!

Up next was the release of the "bugs." After he gathered these few, he noticed that he had a lot of picking up to do...

...He was on a mission!

Then it was time to go back to the playground area for food and presents, well, for everyone but Nolan, for him it was more slide time!

I love this fishy face!!!

However, he decided to turn the stairs into a slide! Silly boy : )

(Sorry about my laugh!)

Finally, it was time to roll out!He can totally rock a pink bike, right?

So glad to be home, just wish I didn't have to work! Have a great rest of the week everyone : )

SNOW DAY!!!

Nolan's daycare closed today at noon, so I went to get my little man and take him home for a nap! Didn't seem like a fair thing to do with all the snow on the ground, but routine is routine!!! Although, when we got home, I did let him stomp around for a bit, but you could see the sleepiness in his eyes, so we had to go in!

However, I don't win the worst parent award, just yet, cause I was planning on taking him outside once he slept well and daddy got home. Yay for early releases for the whole family!!!

So, Nolan woke from his nap, we had a snack, and then we all bundled up to play in the snow; Including Mancy...

He didn't seem to happy when we first stepped outside, but he was too busy trying to keep up with Brady and the dog!

"Get out of my way, Mom!"

"DAD! Where you going???"

He was very determined to catch up to them...



Nolan just stood around, watching the snow fall, trying not to fall down!

That didn't work out so well...
(And, Mom, he did look like Ralphie's little brother when he fell-HA!)

What a happy day! It was great to see his awe and amazement : )
(This is my fave from the afternoon)

Stay warm, everyone!

Valentine's 2010

The day started off with a school delay, so the little guy spent a couple of hours at home with me. And, although he is adorably charming and knows that...

He was in his crib for a reason (we won't get into that right now).


So, although "The Ladies *Heart* Him," I'm not so sure they would have 30 seconds prior to that pic...


Although, this is a pretty good pouty look!

(Look at that lip!)

He finally got to school, and I went into work (I guess you could call it that) up until his party...

I assured him that he had some good characteristics, cause what girl doesn't LOVE a Cheeto eating fool???

"Hey, Mom, is there cheese on my face?"

"How 'bout this side?"


"I played it cool, right?"

Yes, yes you did my little man! : )


We got home and checked out all of his treats and Valentine's. He recieved some cute little cards from his friends, some candy from his teachers, and a book. His favorite was the card with the sucker...


"Mmmmm, this is good!"

"Wait a sec, I kinda feel funny..."

"I think someone snuck me a Love Potion..."

(This picture is just hilarious!)

"I better be careful with the rest of these treats!!!"





Mom was right, she's the only girl I can trust! : )

(Me and my special, little Valentine)

That's right, little guy...you remember that! : )

Happy Valentine's Day, all!

I'll Have What He Had...

RAVIOLIES!!!


You know you all want to pucker up! He's my sweet, little ravioli mess : )

Just a Boy and His Balloon

And, his new straw cup...


And, his favorite night time book...

That we can't quite figure out how to turn the paper pages to.


Anyway, this is what we were doing before daddy came home, with not just one, but TWO balloons! He knows how to make our kid's day! Seriously, it was as if Nolan won the baby lottery : )

That's a smile under that funky face.

I then decided to capture the awe that comes from my child as he plays with what he considers to be the best "ball" in the world...

It went on for hours, but how many times can you sit and watch him toss it up and continue to stare up at the ceiling as the balloon has already dropped back down!?! It's cute, and I love how he is trying to figure that out, but you can only record so much! : )

A Laundry Basket

Is Nolan's new best friend.

He tosses some toys in and then crawls in...

Smiles and plays like it's the best thing he's EVER had to play with...

Then he lounges, as if it's a garden tub; just give the kid some bubbly! (Look at his toes!)

Then, it's time to get out one of two ways: 1...

Or, 2...

Either way, we end up on our bottoms!

I can honestly say that I am contemplating never buying another toy again, but putting all the "toy" money in savings!!! Cause let's be honest, if we can be entertained by a laundry basket, I might as well start a college fund!

Bedtime, I Don't Think So...

It was another night in the Wright household, Daddy was washing the little one's sippy cup, while Mommy was reading him a book...after he combed his own hair!!!

How cute is that???


Anyway, once I notified that little one that it was time for bed, he gave me an adorable blank stare and said,...


"I don't think so! DAD!!!"


And so the fun began (can't you tell?).


(Well, this pic isn't so fun...Daddy wouldn't push him)


Now Daddy decided he would play along, so YAY!


Here, Daddy pushed a little too hard...they wiped-out!


"Hey mom, do you see Mancy anywhere?" The poor dog was hiding cause Nolan had already been chasing him with the wagon before all this craziness started!

So, that's how we do it in the Wright home. Nothing like a little down time before bed!

Goodnight all!
