Weekend Fun

We had a fun filled weekend complete with an overnight visit from Auntie! Nolan played hookie from school Friday and got to spend the day with his Daddy &  Aunt Anna which started with breakfast at MickeyDee's! Nolan of course had his very favorite, PANCAKES. He was nearly a clean plater finishing almost 3 whole pancakes. WOW!!!!

 

 

Next stop was a visit to Cabella's so Nolan could check out the fishies.

 

 

We finished Friday evening with an early fire, smores and a movie in the basement. Since Daddy had to work Saturday we met him for a lunch date at City BBQ and Josie's Frozen Yogurt. Nolan enjoyed his special treat complete with gummy worms, sprinkles, blueberries, fruity pebbles and M&M's.

 

Sunday was absolutely gorgeous (Totally felt like Fall..... LOVED) So we packed a cooler, the stroller and took our little Monkey to the Zoo. Like I said, it was perfect out & we had a great time. Nolan enjoyed checking out all the animals and even braved it for a boat ride thru Dinosaur Island. We even ran into Doug, Jacqueline and Baby Carter! 

 

 

Check out this video of Nolan telling the Tigers to GET UP:

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

We ended the weekend with popsicles on the patio and a wrestle mania session with Uncle. Blessed to have such great family to share the weekends with <3 !!!

 

1,2,3,8,9

Is how Nolan counts to 10. I think he is a little confused :) Nick and I both laughed as he was reading us a number book the other night.

We've been busy the last couple weeks enjoying summer. We got to celebrate the 4th, attend a wedding, started swim lessons and have enjoyed lots of pool time, popsicles, and fun with the neighbors.

We're looking forward to our Beach Trip in just a few short weeks!

Life is like a Camera -

Focus on what's important.

Capture the good times.

Develop from the negatives.

Noli-isms

Last night Nick & I laid and bed and talked about Nolan for over 45 mins. He has changed so much in even the last 30 days. He is talking in sentences now - sometimes 3, 4 words at a time. He has started repeating the last couple words of everything we say, he hears on TV..... He is a trip !!!!!! So I thought I would share with all of you some of his "Noli-ism's":

Woody/ Buzz - This is him asking for Toy Story. Completely OBSESSED! It's bad. We watched 3 times alone last Sun AM. In fact he must have been dreaming and the other night at 4:00AM he murmured Woody/Buzz.

Lanky Time - He wants a Blanket.

Cookie Lanky - A Cookie Monster Towel that he has to take with him EVERYWHERE !!!

Blue Water – He wants something to drink in his blue sippy cup. Water is now usually preferred over milk.

Bubble Time – Bath Time. With LOTS & LOTS of bubbles

Mama Like It – This is usually said with a sour, squishy face and what he really means is he DOES NOT LIKE IT!

Nono’s Car, Black Car, Daddy Car – He uses all 3 to refer to Nick’s Acura. Love it when he calls it Nono’s Car

HOME – If we are anywhere, out to eat, shopping, even at Meme’s and he’s had enough….. Next word is always Home. Mama Home.

Lakey & Jaxon – Almost every night on the way home from Meme’s he asks about playing with Blake & Jackson

Fish – Also a new obsession….. Fishing. Every night he grabs his pole in the garage corner, “Mama Fish”

Shoes On – He wants his shoes off. We need to work on this one :)

Daddy Glove - This means he wants to play catch. Grab your baseball mitt Daddy!

BaketBall - AKA Basketball

Hockey Puck - Just a random one liner he has repeated over & over again from the movie Toy Story. So Random. So Hilarious !!!!

 

And of course my favorite: “I Luh You Mama” 

 

 

Such a sweet sound for your ears right ?! 

Staycation

Nick & I just back from the Fabulous Las Vegas! What a great vacation. Nolan ALSO had a pretty great vacation or Staycation. He got to spend time with  both Grammie & Papa Chinn and Nana & Papa Gallagher! I tell ya what.... this little boy is loved and sooo spoiled !!!
