Nolan 21 Months!

Now that Nolan is 22 months tomorrow I thought I would do a 21 month post for him.  Makes perfect sense to me in my usual late fashion! :)

I don't have a current weight for him because his next well check at the Dr won't be until 2, and luckily have not had to go for anything else recently.  On our home scale that is always a little off says he is about 35 lbs!!  I think that is a little exaggerated but I don't think he is far off.  He is a tall, big boy!  In just the last few weeks I have noticed his vocabulary really expanding.  He will now try to say and repeat so many words.  And some words that were hard to understand before like for "ball" he would say "doll", he is now saying ball.  He is just the cutest, sweetest little boy and we all love him so much.  I love when I ask him a question he will often say, "hmmm", or "lets see".  So sweet!  He loves his sisters so much and loves when they play with him.  Loves to play outside in the water table and his sandbox, so thankful it is cooling off.  Loves to dance in the family room when we have music on the TV.  Has now discovered how to open all doors, and the refrigerator.  Will be getting those things to put on the door knobs later this week.  :)

Likes to do some coloring during school time!

Visit with the Studderts and First Sleepover!

We love when our friends the Studderts come in town.  We always have a blast catching up and the kids have so much fun playing together!  My sister was so nice to host and we had swimming, lunch, and of course some ice cream!

Swim Lessons!

In July all the kids took swim lessons at the PV pool!


Nolan and Asher had their little class:

4th of July 2014

Prescott!

You know what this means........

That's right!  It is time to go to Prescott for 4th of July.  For the last several years we have made rice krispies treats to take with us to the parade.

Final CA Post! My favorite picture!

This is my favorite picture of the kids right now so I thought it deserved a post on it's own.  This was just a picture that one of the bride's maids snapped as the wedding photographer was getting ready to take the kids picture.  It looks like something you would see in an old fashioned picture frame.  Love how you can see the photographers lens!

Asher, Alexa, Kaylee, and Nolan

Cali Continued~ The Wedding!

Wow, I made it to the day of the wedding!  I just realized earlier that I have now been blogging this California trip for over a month!  I guess that is what happens when you are trying to get ready for homeschooling, and starting homeschooling.  So much for getting caught up before school starts.  :)
So here are the fun pictures from the wedding!

Our beautiful flower girls!  They had so much fun and did such a great job!  They both looked so sweet in their little dresses!

California~ My cousins wedding rehearsal

The main reason that brought us to California in the first place was that my cousin Lauren was getting married.  The girls were so excited that they were going to be the flower girls.  We decided to go a week and a half early and make it a fun family vacation!  I realized I did not take many pictures of the rehearsal or rehearsal dinner but here were the few I had!

The wedding rehearsal

Cali cont. ~ Santa Monica

Here are the pictures from another beach/lunch day this time in Santa Monica:

Riding the kiddy carousel on the pier.  After this we had lunch on the pier and then headed to the beach.

Cali continued~ Roosters and S'mores

I had to get Nolan with this little guy!  Yes, my Aunt and Uncle have a rooster and Nolan thought the rooster was funny.  I was just glad when he did not crow too early in the morning.  :)  Usually the rooster just walks around the back yard.  He spent more time in his cage with us all around.  

More Cali~ American Girl!

This was definitely a highlight for the girls.  We surprised them and took them to American Girl to have lunch and shop!  That morning we just told them we were going somewhere and to put a dress on, and to also put Gianna and Sarah, their dolls, in their dresses too.  They had no idea and the girls did not even remember to bring the dolls with them in the car.  Good thing we had Ryan grab them and put them in the back.  They did not even notice!

Trying to catch their faces as we drove up.  Of course my phone had to be blurry with most of them but here are the best!
