Summer Fun

Nolan thinks it is so much fun to eat in his Cozy Coupe...especially his favorite freeze pops! He loves to play with the sprinkler!


He also loves to play with his trucks!
Life is good for Nolan!

Exhausted!

Mommy and Nolan met some friends at Mt. Greenwood Park today. We walked there and back and enjoyed a picnic lunch at the park. Nolan has had a few long days and nights lately, and he is exhausted! He slept during the walk home from the park and definitely loves his sleep!

BBQ at GG's

When we returned home from Weaverfest, we bathed, changed and were back in the car headed for a BBQ at GG's house. Aunt Mar and Uncle Ron surprised Nolan with a cool new garbage truck! Nolan was beyond excited with his new truck. Aunt Mar knows Nolan well!
Nolan had a great time playing with GG!
He used her legs as a bridge for his truck.
Nolan checked out the neighbor's dogs with Aunt Mar.
He LOVES his new garbage truck and played with it the entire time we were at the BBQ!
Nolan used the bean bag board as a ramp for his truck.
GG sent the truck back and forth to Nolan.
Nolan played some bags, too.
Pops and Nolan both wore plaid shorts...being twins is so much fun!
GG's brother Uncle Gene was at the BBQ. Nolan had fun visiting and eating cookies with him.

Weaverfest 2009

Mommy's great Aunt Cel and Uncle Tom Weaver hosted their annual Weaverfest at their home in Moline, IL on Saturday. Most of the O'Sheas traveled to the quad cities for this annual family reunion. Our cousin Kate Weaver Walker was in town with her two daughters, Lucy and Molly, from New Zealand. The weather was great, and a fun day was had by all!
Cousin Dave took a nap on the table in the middle of the party.
Nolan played near the pool with MoMo and Pops. The pool is so much fun!
Nolan went down the slide many times.

Nolan had a great time with his cousins in the pool.
Nolan and Dave both debuted their summer Hawaiian shirts, so we had a mini photo shoot.


Molly Walker from NZ hopped in the photos, too!




Nolan does not like Aunt Maura to touch MoMo...he is VERY possessive of his MoMo (that is actually an understatement). Aunt Maura loves to egg Nolan on by saying "This is my Mommy, I love my Mommy," etc. which really gets Nolan going. Now he pushes her away from MoMo when Aunt Maura touches his MoMo. Aunt Maura always says that Nolan started it!
Nolan had fun playing with his cousins!
He fell fast asleep on the way to the hotel.
He slept like a champ in the pack and play in the hotel.
Nolan snuggled with Pops and MoMo in the morning before heading back to Chicago.
Thanks again to Uncle Tom and Aunt Cel for a fun party!

Banana Bread Baker

Nolan is quite the muffin man lately. He was so excited to help Mommy make some banana bread muffins tonight. He helped read the recipe and pour the ingredients.
He mixed and stirred.
He loves the measuring cups.
Nolan is a super baking partner and is so happy to help in the kitchen!
