Nolan's First HAIRCUT

So my little boy is definitely growing UP! Nolan turned 17 months old yesterday, I cannot believe it! His hair was very cute, but was growing a bit out of control--so today he had his first haircut. We took him to Kid Snips, and he sat in a race car chair, and got to watch Elmo during his haircut. He was a little afraid, I think because of the cold water spritzing at him, and a new person around who was holding a pair of scissors and cutting his hair. Nolan was a trooper though--he really did GREAT!

And now he no longer looks like my baby, but A LITTLE BOY!

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Today we took a little visit to Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch! The weather was a little uncooperative, so it was CHILLY! Nolan at first was overwhelmed by all the people, pumpkins and life size characters. But of course his favorite part of the visit was the Sesame Street characters. He was thrilled by the life sized Elmo, Oscar and Grover!

16 Months Old!

A FEW FLICKERS FROM THE PAST FEW WEEKS!
Nolan is now 16 months old, and what a little personality!




Nolan has many stuffed animals, however over the past few weeks he has taken particular liking to this Teddy Bear. This bear is very special because it happens to be Todd's from his childhood! Grandma Pat restored the bear for Nolan, and Nolan must know it is special because he has been carrying it around lately!

Our Chicago Boy!




Todd and I recently took a trip to San Diego with friends, and we were able to visit with Todd's cousin Kaitlyn as well. Kaitlyn is a freshman at San Diego St. University. It was a wonderful trip! I loved the San Diego weather, and the area is beautiful! Who wouldn't want to live where it is 70 degrees everyday!

Nolan is going to be an Artist!

Our little artist, he loves to hold pens/pencils/crayons, and he loves to create drawings! Here is Nolan sitting at his little table coloring with crayons!

Mark's 30th Birthday Bash!

Mark Hassman is turning 30! And that requires celebration! Cheryl planned a little outing for everyone to the Arlington Race Track. We all had a wonderful time watching the horse races, and placing some bets. Some even left with a little extra $$$.
It was a wonderful day, and it was so nice to see friends and family!
Happy 30th Mark!!!
