Happy St Patrick's Day!

We went to Grandma & Grandpa's house for the annual Branigan family St Patrick's Day party on Saturday. We all had a blast!







Here is Nolan showing off his "irish" shirt and dance moves. Below, he is riding his tractor while eating a shamrock sugar cookie!

It's getting warmer outside!

We went to the park on Sunday because it was such a beautiful day!

More February pictures!

I came home from work and Nolan came running to the door wearing this "valentine" he made with Grandma Branigan. The two of them are way too cute!!!


Our future UPS or FedEx driver. He put this package on his car and drove it down the hall.

Laying on Cain---a favorite past time!

Running around in his room with Cain looking on. (and not wearing any pants!)

Catching up for February!

Play date with our friends' daughter, Ella. We went out to lunch and Nolan sat on Lindsey's lap and ate lots of broccoli!



All the toys out...

Watching tv in his favorite chair before bed!

Grandma and Grandpa Branigan brought donuts over when they watched him while we were at work and he shoveled them in his mouth. I found these pictures on my camera a couple of days later... (Grandma and Grandpa are busted!!!!)

Finally new pictures for the new year!!!

Somebody ate a green crayon. Today we were coloring and I turned around to check on dinner for a second and when I looked back, this is what I saw.....

"look, Mom, no hands"

My little daredevil after being told "no"

Making funny faces on the glass.

Daddy took this picture of Nolan lounging in Cain's kennel--he looks way too comfortable in there!

Christmas Festivities....

Opening presents at a Burger family party at Aunt Diana's house the weekend before Christmas. By Christmas Day, Nolan was a pro at opening gifts. He sure is one spoiled little boy!

Sledding at Grandma and Grandpa's house

Last Sunday, we went sledding and celebrated Grandma's birthday. Nolan enjoyed the snow (despite his scared look) He went sledding with daddy, grandma & grandpa and uncle Paul & aunt Sarah.

Nolan and his motorcycle

Nolan loves this rocking motorcycle at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He gets on it all by himself now!

(outfit courtesy of Aunt Dawn--it finally fits him!)

Nolan and Lauren's play date!

Nolan and I went to visit my friend, Amber and her daughter. Aren't they so cute! Nolan had so much fun playing with Lauren's play kitchen and all of her toys!

They even posed for pictures!

New videos

Nolan was cracking up when we were playing with a balloon.

This video speaks for itself. It's amazing how commercials can influence young minds...

Happy Halloween!

We went to visit uncle Paul at work and then we went to daddy's work for trick or treats! (Nolan loved seeing all of the other kids and caught on to the "trick or treat" thing pretty quickly!) Grandma and Grandpa Branigan visited in the evening to see the puppy and we'll be visiting Grandma and Grandpa Burger, as well as Great-Grandma Burger, on Saturday!

What a happy puppy we had today!



With the collar on!

Checking out his paws!

Nolan's first haircut

Nolan had his first haircut this week. I took pictures of him sitting in the chair with the cute colorful kids cape, (before and after) but he wasn't as excited as I was about it.




Here he is after the haircut.

And here he is riding a train. He did such a great job getting his haircut, that we played for a while in the playland. He waved bye bye to all of the kids when we left.

Sunday at the apple orchard

A visit from Uncle Paul

As you can see, these boys have lots of fun together!
