Easter Sunday!

Nolan found his Easter basket and searched for eggs throughout the house before church.

Hunting for more easter eggs at Grandma & Grandpa's house. His second "hunt" of the day and he knew exactly what to do!

Aunt Sarah and Uncle Paul (and Otis) showing Nolan how to use his new bubbles that they got him!

Coloring Easter Eggs!

Nolan had fun coloring Easter "deggs" tonight with Mommy and Daddy. We took a ton of pictures and set up the video camera to capture the whole process. While Nolan was inspecting his finished products, a few eggs rolled on the floor. They turned out very pretty and colorful though, with cracks and all!

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.

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"
