Happy 50th Granny and Papa!!!

This weekend, we went up to Brady's parent's house to celebrate his granparents 50th wedding anniversary (I hope we make it that far)!


When we arrived, Nolan noticed that everyone was outside so there was no chance of taking him indoors. He also noticed various colors of soccer balls lying around the yard, so naturally he grabbed the first one he came to...

And then the next one, as well as retrieving the first...

He then decided to "try" something...

It was a good try, and the cutest thing I have ever seen...

He finally got some help from daddy...

And...
Nothing.
But.
Net.
It was a great celebration, even if I didn't know a single person there : ) Granny and Papa, you deserved to be spoiled, so I hope you enjoyed it!


As for today, Jamma wanted to get a picture of Nolan in a pair of overalls that his Pop and Daddy had both worn, so...we did!
Nolan looks thrilled right? : )


He was trying to come to me cause he desperately wanted to get the overalls off, however I was no help! He looked too cute!!!

Right before he lost it, I finally got smart and moved over by Jamma so that he would actually look in her direction...

Finally...
The rest of these were taken by Jamma, and I love them all!

"Are we done???" "Take them off, PLEASE!"

Brady asked us if we told him to hold the overalls there, but we didn't have to cause he was trying to pull them off the whole time!

He looked cute, and they were special pictures, so it was all worth it...Sorry little man! : )

*GASP* Could it Be...

A NEW POST?!?!

Yes, friends...it is. Are you finally happy???



So, I recently posted some pics of my little guy playing in his little sprinkler pool at his Jamma's, so I decided to finally post the pics of him in our kiddie pool at home. He loves it this year, and you can tell...

"Man, I love being outside!"

"But, why is it so hot???"

"Why is it so hot, Mom?"

"We've got to do something about this heat!"

"Hey, Dad!"

"Dad! Bring my pool!"

"You got it?"

"Is it ready?"

"You have to get it in there!"

"Lemme do it!"

"See, there!"

"HEY, get Mancy out of my watey!!!"

"Splash, splash!"

"I can do it, Dad!"

"Get some on my face..."

"Ahhh, that felt good!"

"Uhhh..."

"Let's do it again!"

"HAHA!"

"Hey, what's dad doing?"

"DAD, Come play with me!!!"

"What are you doing?"

"Where are you pulling me to?"

"WHOA!!!"

Since he was partially in the pool, Daddy decided that he would take a turn : )

"Um, Dad, you don't fit...I'm just sayin'."

"What a FUN day!"

*The video wouldn't post, so I will try to do that tomorrow...TRY!!! : )

TOUCHDOWN!!!

Here is a glimpse of that Touchdown dance I've been promising; I'm trying to get a better video, but for now, this is what I got...

Isn't that hilarious? Who do you think taught him that???

More of Easter 2010

For Easter, we went to an Easter festival with activities, jump houses, and of course, an Easter egg hunt! Nolan really didn't want to participate in the activities cause he would rather run up and down the stairs of the bleachers! We finally got him involved in a couple of things before the egg hunt, and then it was definitely time to head home after a long day. Here are some pics:

First off, we met the Easter Bunny, and we weren't so sure about her...

...but then she gave us candy : )

Then, before the egg hunt, we played at the bubble center, and after I entertained him with some bubbles he decided to just play with the soap!

Next came the egg hunt, which he was not having with all the people around, so we stayed off to the side and grabbed what was in front of us...

He then had a little help from Pop to check out what he got...

And then showed it off to everyone...

So, that was our Easter in a nutshell...I know it's late, but at least it's an update!

Stay tuned for more, including a "Touchdown Dance Video" : )

Easter 2010

Well, it's Nolan's first official Easter to egg hunt, and it all started today at daycare. This past weekend, we practiced with the eggs for school, but he didn't quite understand, pick an egg up...put it in the basket (he obviously thought, "pick the sort of round object up and throw it"), so I was worried about how he would do.

My child was a pro! Let me rephrase that...after he stopped crying, he was a pro!!! His class was out on a buggy ride prior to the egg hunt, and when they came back in, I was standing in the hallway so he saw me...not good. I heard him cry down the hallway, but I was sure that when they got outside, he would be just fine...again, not good. I was so wrong. He walked outside screaming and crying:( Once he saw some eggs he was okay, but then he spotted me in the window, so another meltdown ensued. Poor little guy only wanted his momma! At this point, I couldn't stand it anymore (I was trying to honor the teacher's request), my baby was crying for me, so me he was gonna get!

Anyway, I walked out onto the playground to find him crying on the slide steps :( He didn't see me, so I had to get right by him and tell him that I was there, and his mood totally changed! This is where the pro status of Easter egg hunting came in :) *disclaimer* I planned to put the video here, but it's not working for me, so I'll try again later. Enjoy the pics instead!

Here are pics of the event...Uh-oh, I've been spotted! You can see the redness under his eyes where he was crying :(

He's clapping cause he found the last egg!

My big ol' boy!

The rest of these are from our playtime at home...When is it okay to let him use a real lawn mower???

These last few are my attempt at some actual photography...I need to stick with my job :)

I'm not sure what he's looking at, but something on our house caught his attention!The Money Shot! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his feet!!!

Oh, what an innocent little man!

His understanding just amazes me, and not just with the concept of egg hunting...this evening he pointed out all of his classmates when I asked where they were! I had no clue that he could do that!!!

Anyway, here's hoping that Easter Sunday goes just as smoothly as today's egg hunt :)

And, we hope that you all have a blessed Easter!

Boom, Boom, Boom!

It's been a while since the last post, and I'm sorry for that cause this one is related. Oops!

Anyway, it's a cute little video of Nolan watching himself "slide" down the steps! When he first watched it, he thought it was hysterical cause I made a "boom-boom" noise :) By now, he was expecting it, and saying it himself, so not that funny anymore, but still darn cute!

By the way, can y'all believe he is already 18 months??? Where did my baby go?
