Busy, Busy Bees!

Jesse and I thought we were busy before we had a baby but now with Nolan here we wish there was an extra couple hours in a day! We have been so busy with work, families, friends, a master's degree and baby Nolan of course I have really slacked at this blogging thing!  Well I'm back and I'm going to get everyone up-to-date with the last 13 months of Nolan with a post for each month.  Then, I will become more of a frequent blogger(I promise, New Year's Resolution!)

1st Trip to the Zoo Fun (and new kicks!)

We visited Henry Villas Zoo Park in Madison, Wisconsin this fall.  It is a close, quick, fun family trip and it's FREE-bonus!  We walked around and looked at all different types of animals.  We decided the penguin was Nolan's favorite since he smiled the biggest at the little guy.  We enjoyed snacks and an ice cream treat when we were done.  Then, off to Stride-Rite where we spent far too much on baby shoes but hey they're cute!

 



Apple Orchard Fun!

In September, Nolan visited Edward's Apple Orchard for the first time with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jim.  We enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches, cider, and freshly baked apple pie.  Nolan even had a little taste but he especially liked visiting the tractors!

Arthur James is Baptized!

In August, we traveled to Chicago to celebrate baby Arthur's baptism.  Jesse and I are honored to be the Godparents for Artie.  We love him like our own!  It was nice to see family and see those 3 little boys together again!

Swimming like Fishys!

Nolan loved swimming this summer at the pool, on the lake or anywhere where there was sun especially when Arthur would come visit!  They hung out in their floaties and enjoyed the water.  Both boys will def tan easily someday!

 

First Haircut, Happy Fourth!

Nolan's first haircut was on the 4th of July of 2013.  Grandma Jayne gave him a cut at Grandma and Grandpa Underhill's house so it was a family affair!  He sat like a good boy and we enjoyed an excellent steak dinner later!

 

 

 Mommy and Daddy even went on a date to see Tim McGraw the day after!

A Seykora/Q Wedding!

On June 1, 2012, Auntie Ashley Seykora and (now officially) Uncle Joe Quernemoen got married in Owatonna, Minnesota.  Nana Jayne and Grandpa Al worked very hard to have the wedding at their home.  Jesse and I were attendants in the wedding and Nolan looked great in a suit for his first wedding event! Thanks to Allie and Tim for taking care of him during the ceremony-you guys did a great job!  Here is a family pic from the wedding!
