Happy 2nd Birthday Little Man!!!

Today my baby turned 2 years old. Where did the time go? Ugh.

So we started our day, like normal, getting ready for school-nothing special. Well, let me take that back, Nolan found his presents and opened one up (Wright family, do you think he resembles his dad at all???). However, when it came time to leave for school, and I began getting the cupcakes out of the fridge...we had a birthday meltdown. Little Nolan wanted a "cuhcake" for breakfast, and he made it known all the way to school.

We went about our days, and when I was out of meetings and snack time started at school, I rushed over to celebrate with my little guy and his friends. But I forgot the camera. :( When I walked in, they had already started snack time, and Nolan had already cleared the top of his cupcake! This is the time I really wished I had had my camera cause his face was a green, hot mess!

Anyway, we got home from school very early, so he and I played with the new truck he opened this morning while we waited for daddy to get home. Once Brady walked in the door, we got ready and took Nolan out to dinner at Rosa's (YUM-O!).

Finally, we arrived at our house to finish up opening gifts. Nana and Papa sent us some much needed fall clothes, as well as Aunt V and Aunt Mo, Lexi and Lo...Thanks y'all! Of course, we already had the two, that's right, TWO tricycles from Jamma and Pop, so all that was left was gifts from us :)

*There was supposed to be a video here, but once again, it's not working...grrr.*


So, here is a pic of him with his new helmet, which he is okay with wearing to ride his bike. He gave up on the other one Jamma and Pop!

Seriously, he took this out of the box shouting, "My helmet!" and then wouldn't take it off!

Playing with his new Fire Station...

Doing a new puzzle...

He passed his bike helmet onto Dad, since he has a new one...

I just had to share this pic cause you can't see his face!!!

The toy broom that Aunt V and Aunt Mo sent, but he's iffy about it...

And, here he is concentrating on his new blocks...

And, now we are back to the helmet, only backwards...

Happy Birthday Little Guy! I hope you've enjoyed it all :) We Love You!!!

Go Cowboys!

It's that time again, and this year, I am really outnumbered when it comes to NOT watching football!

Here's my two boys getting ready to watch their favorite team (Nolan just doesn't know it yet)

A pic with momma too...

Our little Cowboy : )

And, our little Cowboy confused...HA!

Here's to a good season...I hope.

Sea World Birthday Extravaganza!!!

This year we decided that instead of planning a party, we would just take our little guy to Sea World for his birthday, so...

Here we are...Sea World Bound!!! (puppy also made the trip, so he gets a Sea World bound pic too!)

After 3 hours in the car, we all weren't as happy as the above pictures portray :[ And, well, once we got there, we still weren't too happy standing and waiting in line...but it was well worth it!

First thing we went to was the Sharks, and well, someone was pretty fascinated...

After Sharks, we headed over to see the Sea Lions and Otters!

Then it was time to go meet Aunt Mo, Andrew and the girls for some Water Park fun!!! This was BY FAR, Nolan's favorite part!

It finally came time to check out the actual shows, so first up was "The Cannery Row Caper," which I didn't get any pictures of...oops! I'll just tell you that Nolan followed the Sea Lions all over the stage!

We then went to check out the penguins, which Nolan enjoyed...of course! And, after that, Lexi, Lauryn, Nolan and I chilled out while everyone else road rollercoasters...NO Thank You!

We parted ways and planned on meeting back up for Shamu...in the meantime, Nolan passed out with his new friend...

...it only lasted about 25 minutes.

However, Brady and I had the op to take a pic of ourselves!!!

And, once we re-grouped, Aunt Mo took a pic of our little family before Shamu started! (My arm is held out in front of me cause I was holding a piece of popcorn towards the camera so Nolan would look up!!!)

We got to watch the Shamu family swim for a while...

...and our little guy was in awe.

I mean, just look at the wonder and amazement in those big, brown eyes :)

The show starts, and...

(action shot courtesy of Brady Wright) *eyeroll*

...we are still in awe.

I love it!

And, so does Shamu!

Finally, onto Azul!

Nolan actually clapped at the end of this show, so it all ended on a good note...until we started the drive home (yikes!). I think his souvenir T-Shirt explains it best...

...but, then you see him in it and can't help but fall in love with that little ball of Trouble!

Happy Birthday Little Man!!!

Ugh.

So, Blogger hates me right now, so I will update when I can...sorry everyone.

Sprinkler Park (part 1)

This is how we began our Sunday...

Don't you LOVE IT?!?!

And, this is how it ended...well, prior to dinner, bath and bedtime...

More pictures, and hopefully a video, to come tomorrow...well,...sometime this week! : )
