Our one month old

He has gotten so big - we can't believe it! Happy one month to our littlest man :)

Nolan's Shower

We had Nolan's shower this past Saturday and my mom and sister hosted it at my house. It was SO much fun to share Nolan with everyone and celebrate his arrival :) Since we have all the boy things we need plus some, we decided to make fleece blankets for the charity Binkypatrol. We got a ton of them and I want to thank everyone who participated - this is going to make these kids so happy :) Also a big thank you to my mom and sister for hosting - it was ADORABLE and everyone had a great time.

Sunday we headed over to the mall to have Wyatt play with his cousins and have a Cinnabon with Papa and Bebe :) He had fun and took a great nap when we got home. We also gave both boys a bath that afternoon so I had to take pics to show how much they have grown. I cannot believe these are my "babies" - I still think of both of them as the size they were when they came out!

This week we are headed to the beach with the Fetrow's to celebrate Brad's 30th (which was in August), Nolan's one month and our anniversary (which is next Monday). We are really looking forward to hanging with them and getting out of town for a bit - here is hoping the car ride isn't a total disaster! ;)

Happy November,

Halloween 2011!

Yesterday was a special day because we got to visit daddy at work and celebrate Halloween at their company potluck. Wyatt was a maniac running the halls and playing with the balloons - shouldn't have been a surprise :) It was fun to show Nolan and Wyatt off and get out of the house...I managed it all by myself which is a miracle in itself!

This being Nolan's first Halloween and Wyatt's second, we decided to have a little get together/party to celebrate :) It is no surprise to anyone that my favorite holiday is Halloween, but I think Wyatt may be taking after me! He loved his costume and trick or treating - at just 15 months! I am so proud :) We had a great time and enjoyed sharing the evening with many family and friends - great way to kick off the holiday season!

Here are a few pics of all the little ones and our boys :)

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch!

We got to take the boys to the pumpkin patch yesterday and it was SO fun to watch Wyatt :) He was excited about everything - especially the tractor ride, the pumpkin patch and picking out his own pumpkin. We didn't get to leave before he had one MAJOR meltdown, but that is par for the course these days :)

Nolan just chilled in the Bjorn with mom and slept...which was nice since he was up most of the day wanting to eat! Made for a long day for mommy :) BUT, he did have his first tummy time and did great - he lifted his head up a few times and then just laid there...he was done.

My parents and sister were able to join us and get in on the fun - all in all I would say it was a success! Check out some of the great pics we got:

Happy Halloween!
