Happy Mother's Day!!!

I had a terrific Mother's Day today! It started off with breakfast with my two favorite guys and the best Mother's Day card ever! We then headed to the Children's Place at the Museum of Nature and Science. Nolan had a great time playing with everything. He especially loved the water play area. We are definitely going to have to go again!

This is my Mother's Day card from Nolan!

Can you tell that he had a blast?  Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!!

Thank You Shari and Laurie!!!

Thank you Shari and Laurie for Nolan's first baseball set! I think Daddy was really excited about it too!

Birthday Party Part 3

We had such a wonderful birthday week that I am a little sad to see it come to an end!  Nolan had such a great time and it was so great to get to spend time with everyone! It has been amazing to see him grow over the last year and it was lots of fun celebrating it!  Here are some pics of the party.

Birthday Party Part 2

   Nolan was a little tired after all the excitement at school, so we went home for a little power nap (and I do mean little)! We had all the Grandparents and Aunt Veazey over for a pizza party! Nolan loved all of the attention! He went from Grandparent to Grandparent having a great time!

We had some homemade pizza and salad.  You might think 4 large pizzas is too much for 9 people, but you would be wrong!

Next it was time for cupcakes! Nolan is getting pretty good at eating cupcakes!

Then it was time to open presents!!!

What an amazing day!!!  Nolan had so much fun and so did we!!!  He wasn't too excited when it was time to go to bed though....

Sweet Dreams, Mr. One Year Old!

Birthday Party Part 1

Nolan's Birthday started off with a family breakfast at The Original Pancake House. Nolan ate three pancakes and some sausage! He loves pancakes! Daddy then took him to school with a pinata to start the celebration!  Apparently, latex balloons are not very child friendly and are on the "restricted" list as his school, so instead we brought balls and lots of them!  The kids loved playing with them especially Nolan!

We also brought bubble wands for each of the kids in his class to take home!  The bubbles were also a big hit!

Poor Mr. Pinata didn't last long after he gave rides around the classroom!  He had survived a year in our house (he was from one of our baby showers), but couldn't survive 8 toddlers!

Since Nolan was having another party later in the day, I decided to do something different for his school party.  We had ice cream and the cutest ice cream shaped cookies!

Nolan had a great time!  He ate his ice cream and most of his friend's!  Oh well!  He only has his first birthday once!
