Go Hawks!

Nolan cheering on the hawks (in his pjs of course!) who are 8-0!

Fall 09

Enjoying the fall weather!


Nolan playing in the leaves. Since we didn't have any trees in Carson I think this might be Nolan's first experience with piles of leaves.

Marlee are little bundle bear!

Nolan working for his supper! Funny thing is after about 5 min he dropped the rake and said "All Done!" Must get his cleaning patients from his momma.

She Sits!

Marlee finally sits on her own! Every once in a while she tips over but for the most part she sits on her own. And boy does she love all the toys she can play with now...Nolan is slowly working on his sharing skills :)




Happy Girl!

If you can see Nolan in the background not very happy he has to share his slide!

Twins?!?

I never thought having a boy and a girl I would compare them as much. But its neat to look at Nolans baby pictures and see how much they really do look alike!

Our little Hawkeye Cheerleader!

Marlee posing in her adorable cheer uniform! I have been dying to get her into this outfit!

Boy was she really getting in to the game :)

We must have a really good cheerleader on our hands with the Hawks being undefeated and all! I am sure her Aunt Kate is SO proud!

October picture-even though it feels like December out!

BURR! Most of these pictures were taken a couple weeks back when we could actually enjoy the fall weather. Gotta love Iowa!

Nolan and his buddy "Sofa" her name is Lola but Nolan always calls her Sofa. Guessing its a combination of Sophie and Lola?!?

Every little boy needs a dog!

Little does Lola know she is a dog not a cow. Lola loves to entertain the calves!

Oh thank goodness Grandma "Queen" (that is what Nolan calls his grandma Coleen) bought Nolan washable markers! He was very proud to show me that he drew on his belly.

Such a big boy! Nolan finally got a swing set. Just in time for winter right! Oh well its was a great deal and boy will Nolan and maybe even Marlee be all ready for it this spring!

Nolan really likes the fort part! I can just see it now...Nolan telling Marlee its a "Boys Only" fort. Good thing we have that cute little playhouse!

He could swing for hours. We are going to have to teach his to pump his legs so I don't have to spend all day pushing him.

Family Time

This past weekend we traveled to Denison to visit with Nate's family. It had been quite sometime since we had seen them last so it was a much needed visit!


Goofy Boys! Nolan hanging out with Cousins Ethan and Chandler. The boys play so well together!

Chandler was asking Nolan if he wanted to play football...so cute!

Nolan absolutely loves all grandma and grandpa's animals!

Especially the kitties!


Nate's Dad was also back from Texas. It was a great weekend with family!

Marlee 6 months

WOW! Its been a month since I have posted about Miss Marlee! She has changed so much I can't believe she is already 6 months old...where has my baby gone!


It never fails she always has a smile on her face!

Were working on sitting up.

Goofy Daddy gave Marlee a Mohawk! Sorry Dad she going to be a girly girl!! :)

Now I know why they invented bibs!

Busy Boy

Its been a while since we've posted, sorry we have been busy!

Swinging at grandma's

Playing with "real" diggers (as Nolan calls them)

Playing with Dad

Riding in the fire truck at Sams b-day party
