Lot's of Celebrations last week!

Nolan had his first trip to the circus last week! We went to the Sherman circus with my dad and sister and for the majority of the time, he sat there with his serious "bulldog" face and took it all in. Then got excited after a bit and was jumping around and clapping and pointing...which then led to him getting tired and cranky and mad because I wouldn't let him crawl all over - the kid is so predictable! ;)

And he even got to ride an elephant with Poppy!!! (wish this pic was a littler brighter!)

 

Thursday night we had dinner at the Tierneys to celebrate Grandpa Jim's birthday. Nolan was having a blast goofing off at the dinner table...as he usually does when Grandpa is around ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA JIM!

And I was SO excited because I was off Friday night and didn't go back to work until Sunday night! Which actually got changed to Monday...so I had an ENTIRE weekend off - that NEVER happens! We spent the weekend eating mostly (We planned to start eating better and taking better care of ourselves on Monday, so we were going out with a bang)! Went to Steph's graduation on Friday night where she was asked to speak...and did a great job! Then to Smokey Bones for dinner.

Saturday was my dad's birthday so we went to my grandma's for breakfast. It was a lazy day and was raining and cold, so it was nice to just veg out and relax and visit.

Saturday night Skylar and I had a 'date night' and went to eat at Darcy's...yuuummm!  Nolan had a sleepover with grandma Cindy, and we went to a cookout at the Triggs after dinner, however we are so old and lame and were home and in bed by 11:00.  Oh, how life has changed! We were supposed to have pictures done Sunday but the weather was crazy, so were gonna try again next week.
Ninny came by and brought Nolan some new PJ's and a toy that he loves!

Then Sunday night I went to Osaka for Lindseys baby shower and got to catch up with a bunch of the Birth Center girls who have all left me :( 

 

Here she is with her Virgin Strawberry Daq!

And that's our exciting week wrapped up in a blog ;)
