31!

It's 3am and Nolan's been up since 1am, so I think I'll try to catch up on blogging.
Thank you for all the calls, texts, and facebook messages, they really made me feel loved. David had a few more presents in store for me Saturday, which I can't wait to use and read. He also took both boys out to Costco in hopes that I would go shopping or get my nails done, but it was so nice to have the house to myself that I ended up putting away the 10 loads of laundry that had been waiting for my attention. David and Isaac sang Happy Birthday which bring me an ice cream cake and it was so adorable that Isaac had a dance to go with the birthday song. Sunday I also got caught up on some sleep, which was wonderful! Thank you David for making this a wonderful birthday weekend.

Cake and Cooking

Isaac is not only obsessed with fishing but he also LOVES cake. This past week, anytime I opened the fridge he would steal a cupcake that and run to sit on his table so the dogs wouldn't steal. I ended up throwing away the leftover cupcakes because I was tired of arguing with him why he couldn't eat cake morning, noon, and night.
I've tried to get him more involved in cooking with me in hopes that he will want to eat what he has cooked. So the last couple of pictures are from him helping me hammer saltines, to make a crust for the chicken, and shaking the chicken in the bag. He didn't eat it this time, but he might have been full on cake.

Cooking Pizza

We ended this wonderful weekend by making a couple of pizzas. Isaac really liked the crust, which he kept stealing from the pizzas before I could get them in the oven.

Mother's Day Surprise

Nolan and I flew to SC for as a Mother's Day present to my mom and for family to meet Nolan. Nolan did great for his first flight. Everyone was extremely helpful in carrying bags for me and helping collapse the stroller. The airline did lose the canopy of the car seat, but with that being the only thing lost I'd say we did pretty well. I had to get a picture of him on his first flight, and apparently people aren't used to cameras with viewfinders. We did have some issues on the way back, he didn't like having to hang out on the plane for an hour while they fixed/rechecked the engine, but once we got going he was fast asleep. Thank you to Gma and Gpa for hosting a little family get together so everyone could love on Nolan. We had a great time but I'm exhausted and Nolan caught a cold so we'll be staying put for awhile.

I came back to a wonderful surprise from my husband and Isaac and a clean house.

Birthday Presents

I should be napping right now since I only got 3 hours of sleep last night but I thought I'd give you guys a post before my trip to SC. David decided he couldn't keep my birthday presents a secret any longer. So I got a super cool new lens, 35mm 1.8, and a speedlight. You can't tell that half of these picture were taken at 10pm. Please ignore Isaac's naked bum, he decided that he wanted to use the potty today and not wear any bottoms. He is so sweet to give his brother kisses, makes my heart melt. Nolan would laugh after I would take his picture, I think he liked the new flash.
