Hanging Out At Home

Nolan spends just about every waking hour of his day outside. He loves his outside toys, loves swimming and playing with water, loves eating at his picnic table and loves visiting with neighbors and friends. He is an outdoor guy!

Happy Father's Day!

We had Daddy's family over for brunch today to celebrate Father's Day. Nolan enjoyed a picnic meal with his cousins, Liam and Henry. Uncle Xavier and Daddy went golfing in the morning before the brunch.
Nolan took a quick picture with Grandpa. Daddy jumped in for a picture, too.
After Nolan's nap, we went to Pops and MoMo's house for a barbecue with Mommy's family.
Nolan had so much fun trying out the slide in the water.
GG was a good pusher, and Pops was a good catcher!
Nolan kept going back for more!

Nolan had a freeze pop, too.
Then, he was ready to play bean bags.
He put the bags in many times. He even sorted them by color and put them in separate piles.
He stuck his face in the hole to be sure he had all the bean bags.
Nolan loves sitting in his red chair.
He climbed up on the bean bag board.
He reached inside to get the bags.

They had a stand-off with the red chair and small white table.
Aunt Mar gave Nolan a new fourth of July shirt with a firetruck and cars on it...Nolan LOVED it and immediately pointed to the details on the trucks and cars! He can't wait to wear it to a holiday party.
